The head unit and the sensor on the for have got to be a max. of 50cm from each other. For an MtB, that means that the sensor has to be quite high up on the fork. That also means that it has to be angled in quite a bit towards the spokes so that it still picks up the magnet.

A riding mate of mine runs this combo the other way around

That looks quite pleasant! Great photos!

Ummm, what's wrong with that?

Have you tried Bridge and Olympic? Avron also has some good contacts...

Tubeless conversion, Crossmark LUST tyres on Anthem full sus 2.5bar (front and rear; still experimenting...) Just over 100kg

Merida has redesigned thier full suspensions bikes - due for realease in '09. You buy that mission now and its already outdated. Nothing wrong with that or the bike. I would just hate to be riding my new bike, and then see the new version in a few months time. Having said that, I came VERY close to getting a Mission 3000 D a month ago. I recently got a Giant Anthem 1 and just love it. Also came from a hard tail and cant believe the difference it makes. More than one bike shop steered me away from GT and Mongoose (and they both sold the brands!). What every you do choose in the end, you wont be dissapointed with - You will love your bike. Most riders love the brand of bike they ride and unless you extensively test ride several bikes, you wont know the difference and by how much one is better than another. Good components dont make up for a crap frame though. My dilemma was filtering out marketing blah blah and everyone's personal opinion and making the choice! Good luck!

If you were to crash and knock one of your litte exhausts off, they would turn to rockets and launch your Nads over the finish line...

Rudy Project have a nice range of Photochromic lenses. They are on the expensive side though...

Is there an equivalent in Cape Town? (apart from Cyclelab) I need to get set up on my MTB.

They had the picture and some TV footage of the aftermath on Morning Live. Scary stuff! I wonder how the Mexican law will deal with this guy.

Sounds great. Who is leading/organising the ride in from the Southern Subburbs? Where will the meeting point be and what time will the ride start?

I thought that climbers get right of way, but seems like there is no real protocol/convention out on the singletrack. Tokai was pretty full yesterday and it seemed that every second group we encountered up and down had different ideas.

or was it in rush because you had to do it before the wife saw where the bike was? Edd Zachary!!

KCNC = Pimp my Ride I got the shop to do a tubeless conversion and put the Crossmarks on.

My Mistress! I got her on Saturday morning and we consumated the relationship yesterday morning @ Tokai. I hope it was as good for her as it was for me.

That's a nice commuter bike! What's your nice/race bike?

Sorry about that. I kept getting error messages, so I thought it hadnt gone through...splat2008-05-19 03:35:34

I am also about to do a tubeless conversion to my wheels, but was surprised to see warrantee issued with some tyre manufacturers and sealant liquid. Kenda being one of them. Most of the bike shops I have spoken to in this regard were oblivious of Kenda's policy and said that it is to be ignored as they have had no problems running Stan's or Joe's with any Kenda tyres. I have heard of some non UST tyres bubbling or de-bonding, but surely almost all tubeless conversions include a sealant. How can there still be UST tyres that are incompatible with sealant?

There is a good looking Merida Mission 3000-D here: https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=25572&KW=Merida+Mission+3000 R16 000.00 + warrantee & upgrades You may struggle to find an Anthem 1 for R20 000.00 if you can find any stock in Cape Town...splat2008-05-11 23:59:12

Where in Diep River is/are Magnet Cycles?
