  1. Thanks Tom, much appreciated. Think I will go for the Purgatory up front, and see how how the RR hold up.
  2. Hey guys A little advise please! Want to convert to tubeless. I have a Giant Talon hardtail 650B with Schwalbe Rapid Robs. I'm on a bit of a tight budget, so have been looking at either the Specialized Ground Control 2.3 or Purgatory 2.3 for the front. I'm leaning towards the Purgatory with more grip, as I have had a front washout or two in the past. But still want something light and quick, hence the Ground Control option. Then, I was given a Racing Ralph EVO, TL-ready (non snakeskin) which I am planning to use at the rear. I have heard different things about converting the non-snakeskin Racing Ralph to tubeless. Some of the LBSs say that it will loose pressure, and I will have to pump it up regularly, then I have spoken to people who are running the non snakeskin tubeless who say they have had no issues so far. Has anybody got any experience with the above set-ups or any other advise. PS. I will be doing the Namaqua Quest later this year, so will need something that can handle those conditions. Thanks in advance

  5. Absolutely. Lets hope for a future of sidewalks and roads with metallic sub-surfaces. It looks like Lexus are looking at applying this to hover or "flying cars" of the future.
  6. Just read an article about it. This is just a teaser video, with more to be released at a later stage. Apparently, according to Lexus, it is rideable as is, but still has to undergo more testing. The other thing is, you can't just ride it anywhere, it has to be on a metallic surface.

  10. Not sure if you have seen this: http://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/gear/article/bell-super-2r-vs-met-parachute-helmets-44178/
  11. Ha ha, at least I spelt it correctly.
  12. Ha ha, you sound like my wife. She said the same. Orange on a black on black bike looks awesome. Put them on last night, and have no regrets.
  13. Thanks. First thing I did was take out the washers, you can visibly see a big difference.
  14. It's not much, but super stoked. Can't wait to test out the flats.
