  1. At first that rear triangle looked really odd being so narrow and the rear suspension very busy, but thr more i look at it the more im starting to like it...alot...BUT...does it come in black?
  2. Hahah yes, and also when it says nearly new...wtf? Its either new or used even if used once then its used..klaar
  3. The struggle is real....Amandla....Awethu
  4. What irks me is when ppl put a photo from the net instead of the actual photo and also when they put little detail of the item they selling especially if it's high end bikes. I mean really, if you selling a 100k bike, take the time to put the detail on and a good few pics.
  5. Sweet. Let us know how it performs. Would really like one these but will need a shim as i need a 31.6 amd doesnt come in that size.
  6. Perhaps it could be the spokes seeing as your checked everyrhing else.
  7. Is that the tmars or forca dropper post? Whats your experience on it? Beautiful bike.
  8. This is where I'm at right now: Reverb in for service and before each downhill or tech section, i stop and lower seat on my "normal" seat post, then at the end of the aection, get off and lift it up. Will never be able to ride without a dropper post, they're sublime
  9. Look what arrived today. Super excited, just need my rear triangle back from repair now to test these babies out.
  10. Super hot glasses. Would luuurrrvvv to win these babies :-)
  11. Very interesting. I would not think of changing my helmut due to age of the thing but rather when it broke. Had a Giro for many many years before recently buying a new lid. Goodness, need a bigger savings bucket.
  12. 26er FR 60tpi please, just so you already know when i win :-)
  13. Wow, stunning. Is that the new 2016 model :-)
  14. Mucho Grande travel on that bad boy..very nice indeed.
  15. Sjo, R17500....i could get a whole new bike for that price.
  16. Ok cool, get what you saying. Have one more question, if I start at 1.5 at the front, do I pump it up to just over 1.5 to compensate for the burst of air that escapes when you take the pump connection off the valve, if you get what I'm saying or is that air loss insignificant? Sounds like dumb question ????
  17. Oh right, im way off on tyre pressure as to me 1.5 seems really low but then again i dont know too much on the subject. I am going to give that recommendation a try. Thanks
  18. I have been riding my ibex/canis 2.25 for a while now and they awsome. The first ride theu gripped so well and was fast rolling. Since that first ride i played with the tyre pressure a bit while on my rides and now i feel that i cant get that same grip back. I am rather naieve with tyre pressure so just thumb suck a 2 bar front and back ????. Please give me some guidence where is good to start for optimal grip. I know conditions play a role lets assume good conditions on a trail which is dry. I am 79kgs and the tyres are tubless 2.25. Thanks
