  1. What year are they? The M4 (I believe) easton hub had an issue about 2/3 years ago. But seems to have fixed the issue since then
  2. If you are keen on a solid alternative drop me a DM. Kia Rio is every bit as good, and bulletproof.
  3. The only issue with Aramex is paying double VAT (in germany and then in SA)
  4. picked it up when I was in Dubai. Fx conversion worked out to R4.5k
  5. sadly not yet...shaking a bout of flu...
  6. What he said ^^ ...I run an Ikon at the back and Ardent up front...you can take your bike anywhere. Only downside is mud...with the Ikon you will be struggling for traction at the back in muddy conditions.
  7. I sold my hardtail a week after the original Monster and went Dual.
  8. The thing with the Magalies Monster is that its all rideable but...there are no free miles and max concentration if you want to get home in one piece. At the end know you have ridden a one day MTB race. At the front or back of the race.
  9. Why is a BIG warning bell going off right about now..>!!!
  10. Last night I battled for 20min to get the new GP5000 tubeless on to the rim. Not sure about the tubed version of the new GP5000 but I would say go with GP4000 II - they are arguably the best all round tubed tyre.
  11. Yip also in the for the two day. Family outing, but the girls will be shopping in Clarens...while i take on the fun bits. Riding in Clarens is special and pack your climbing legs :-)
  12. A lot of bearing issues are a result of lack of maintenance - people are too scared to open it up and drop in ratchet lube or clean and regrets....a little love and staying away from high pressure washers means your bearings will/should last longer. Also how tight your QR or Thru axle is positioned can affect the squeeze and life of a bearing but less so. I've been through two drive side bearings in about 3 years (Industry9 hub)
  13. DT350's are pretty quiet...relative to most
  14. https://www.bicycling.co.za/bikes-gear/6-top-cars-cyclists/
  15. Canyon Endurace CF SL - owned for 8 months and always puts a smile on my face and just makes me conscious of how much i need to improve to get the best out of it.
  16. Ah yes, I remember the URcycling kit...you were toying with us I think. First you were there then you were gone then you were back...then gone! :-)
  17. I think you were just on my left as we went around the right side of the crash. Luckily we were going slowly at the time and everyone was paying attention.
  18. What kit were you in...they also went down just in front of me. I was in Sani gilet with a white/red scott helmet
  19. The problem I have with Aramex Global Shopper is that you pay double VAT. German Vat (Bike24) because it gets shipped to a local address and then Vat when it arrives here...
  20. Can you go and find the rocky mountain stand - I need to see the new Element 999. Dankie!
