Hey hubbers,

I’ll be spending some time in PE this December - any nice safe trails you suggest? I’ll be riding alone, so safety is a factor. 
 

Thanks for any suggestions. 

[Thule Bike Trailer: Coaster XT]

Hi Guys,

 

I am interested in purchasing a bike trailer and would appreciate some input from cyclists who have used one of them.

 

Thule has the Coaster; how will it deal with light off-roading? Are there any other brands/makes you can recommend? 

[Muslim MTBers]

Of course u are Beenie.

 

I think next time I enter a MTB race, im gonna put up one corner Takeaway, where we gonna sell some spicy Samoosa's for after the race. You white people love that stuff. May be some Bunny chows?

 

BTW guys, thanks for all your comments.

 

I love samoosas too. Great plan Joe, distract them ith samoosas so we can move up the ranks

Boeta Joe,

 

Am I the muslim kaapie you are referring to?

[Maxxis Crossmark - Good Tyre?]

I'm running crossmarks in the rear and have no complaints. They've been awesome in most conditions.

 

As for the front i have the monorail; which i find not too good in muddy conditions. Is the rear cross mark from monorail a good combo or have a mixed the placing up?

Is this better?

Yeah, those are XT wheels. Got a very good deal from a fellow hubber. Came with wheels, tyres, skewers and rotors. Not sure on rotors, but the tyres are maxxis cross marks. They sweet

Next upgrade is a fork

[Surgery recovery period]

I had my collarbone plated too. That was mid nov and only started riding again in mid Feb. It was frightening to see how 'week' the shoulder had become. Slowly increasing the weights, but it takes time.

Important thing is to be patient tho.

[Honeydew Ridge/Radiokop rides]

Does it have to be in the radiokop region?

[MTB Upgrade Options]

I have mechanical disc brakes at the moment.

I'll pm you when i have decided on what i want/need

[MTB Upgrade Options]

Got a nice saddle recently, so thats sorted. How do i know if the stem and handlebars are not right for me? How do i know which one is?

Think i've been persuaded on the fork bit. Will look out for a good 2nd hand one. Maybe some tyre too

[MTB Upgrade Options]

Thanks for the responses guys.

DJ84 - Not quite sure what wheels cost, so dont know how much i want to spend if that makes sense. What is a realistic amount for a decent set of wheels?

[MTB Upgrade Options]

I currently have a Silverback Alpine. I love the bike but think i need to upgrade.. While a new bike would be great, I dont have the cash for that now. So im looking at other stuff.

What are my options?

 

1. Wheels - what whould I be looking out for? what question must i be asking? What prices am i looking at? Tubeless or not?

 

2. Components - how big a difference to things like derailleurs, hydraulic brakes etc make?

 

3. Fork - too expensive

 

4. What else?

[Song of the day, add your current favourite....]

[Song of the day, add your current favourite....]

Anyone remember an SA band called Arapaho? They from quite a few years back

[Song of the day, add your current favourite....]

Parlotones - Push me to the floor

That is an awesome song. And a great video too.

 

Could the parlotones be the best SA band at the moment?

[Crash - Helmet Damage]

I'm wanting to start cycling this weekend again, so hope i can sort it out before then.

 

Now to go find the receipt...

[Crash - Helmet Damage]

Do i go to the bike store i boight the helmet from or do i contact Bell directly?

[Crash - Helmet Damage]

is your bike ok?

Apart from a bent seat, my inspection didnt reveal any damage to the bike. But i asked them to check everthing for me.
