    Runners

    Motorists vs Cyclists Cyclists vs Runners Why cant we all just get along?
  3. Action Cycling and Epic Bike Shop are Hope stockists.
  4. Sports Direct sell Hope products. http://www.sportsdirect.co.za/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Wheels___Tyres_4.html Not sure what they have in stock and how they compare price wise... Otherwise, Dave Hinde in the UK is pretty good with his prices. Dont do free shipping though. http://davehinde.veriovps.co.uk/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=DH&Category_Code=Hopemtb&Session_ID=c1b320890b6b74ffe9139d4760de13e2 Actually, Wiggle does! http://www.wiggle.co.uk/mc/cycle/7/Hope/Hubs_-_MTB/
  5. Sorry, I meant XT's
  6. Elixir CR's will probabaly be lighter, but apart from running a 180 rotor up front, I dont think you will get much more braking power. Traction on your tyres limits you there a bit...
  7. Cant wait for build pics
  8. What he said and HG73 is sort of LX level GH93 is sort of XT level
  9. http://www.streetmaps.co.za/?x=18.431158&y=-34.062347666666646&z=0.005&s=m&p=0 Take Tokai Rd exit from M3/Blue Route highway. Go up Tokai Rd in direction of Mountain, go over traffic circle, past the Steenberg golf course on your left, keep heading straight where the road forks, stop and get a permit at the hut on your right, carry on up the road to the end, turn left at the T Junction and follow the road around the car park. Enjoy your ride.splat2009-10-23 00:25:27
  10. they killed themselves laughing?even after the tenth time they told me? so i asked them why you can't smell moth balls? I give up - why can't you smell moth balls? 'Cos you can't get your nose between thier legs?
  11. Ah, man! I wish one of those Zula's were mine.
  12. Very often the security guards are threatened with thier family's lives if they talk, so they just look the other way. My bike was stolen and 2 guards saw the guys walking down the road, but didnt say a thing. Cops reckon he was too sh!t scared. They dont get paid enough to risk thier (or thier family's) lives. But then sometimes you gotta wonder, 'what's the use of security guards?'
  13. I would hate to know what it cost to get him out here. Is he here to to an event or just to say 'hi'?
  14. Sorry to hear that Mampara. Glad you are insured, but all the money in the world cant replace the items on the computers, like photos etc.
  15. He was on Top Billing the other day as well. Luckily cyclists didnt come up in conversation.
  16. Sheesh. That costs more than my car!
  17. Congratulations! Looks awesome and a very nice spec. Many happy miles!
  18. And then of course, there is your work in Tread Magazine.
  19. Can't admin create 'Sticky's out of a few of the more comprehensive 'CRC order' threads? There must be about 47009...
  20. I cant do it either. I did a Google search and found a few video's and 'how to' articles. Haven't had time to practise much. PM me with your email address and I will send you a .pdf of what I have.
