  1. Dit het met my ook gebeur 'n week of so terug. Ook besig om te klim en toe wham. Gelukkig het ek gou genoeg gestop voor my deraileur heeltemal gebreek het. Maar yeah, basically het winkel gese dit was nie reg ingestel nie (was by winkel 'n dag of twee voor dit), en toe het hy te veel na een kant to getrek en toe breek die hanger, en chaos ensued. Weet nie of dit related is nie though.
  2. ^_______________________^ laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal
  3. just go check out http://www.8ta.com/ - It's their official site, so all the info is on there!
  4. Hydraulic piping I have no experience with, but I am currently running red jagwire housings on my bike, to match my Sram X.0 red kit. works a treat. no hassles whatsoever.
  5. Meh, working. 12 hour shifts every day (friday, saturday and sunday included) for the next two weeks... I hate project deadlines. FML
  6. I had an avalanche ages age when I started riding. Loved the bike. The frame was so weet, just upgraded it here and there. Not sure how they are now though.
  7. Hey Rudig, The reason is because the mags have such a long shelf life, and usually items through Classifieds go really quickly, leading to a lot of frustration on the side of the advertisers. They keep on getting calls, non stop, about items that they have already sold a while ago. The best option for you would be to either buy a Junk Mail or CapeAds paper, or visit the junkmail website. In my opinion the Junk Mail website is the best option as the items there are really fresh and new.
  8. Not sure to be honest, I imagine it won't last forever, but I havent had it die on me yet. If you want to save battery life, you can obviously not use the ipod app, and turn off the talking. that should save it a bit.
  9. I use my iPhone to do all my stuff, particularly the cyclemeter app which I think cost me less than 50 bucks. It works AWESOMELY. Has gps, elevation, etc and you can set it to talk to you every so minutes telling you your average speeds, elevation, ride time etc. You can save your routes, and if you reride it will work on your previous rides, telling you if you were faster, slower, etc. I don't have a mount for my bike (even if I did, i wouldn't use it. My iPhone is my precious) but i just load some music, turn on app, and put it in my pocket. I love it!
  10. Hackers are evil kids. We just underwent an attack, and although no harm done, we now once again have to go through steps to ensure security. changing all passwords throughout our system, reinstalling two servers just in case. meh.

    Commencal MTB

    Could be you just got a bum build. I have the same issues with my specialized, but after three months of fighting I got mine fixed, and now it's a brilliant ride!
  12. ja which store. that is a great price i think.
  13. saw Sram talking about it a while ago on twitter. apparently its great saving on energy or something. not too sure anymore and too lazy to go dredge it up. looks weird though huh?
  14. I used to love and crave a marzocchi fork. I loved them to bits, especially on the old kona bikes! Dunno about their current history though. they shouldnt be too bad.
  15. I'm assuming Tour D'Afrique? Our CEO (Gerald Coniel) also rode it. Sad to hear about your loss man. Hope it comes up!
  16. Certainly the site owner can update his own site if he wants to? It was necesary, the site was getting dated quickly, had issues that needed fixing. But there are always people who don't like the change... no matter what site it is. That said, the logo is still a little weak, although much better than before!
  17. That's uncool. I ordered stuff through CWC in cape town online, and it was on my desk at work in Pretoria the very next morning. Really impressive!
  18. that is most likely because their servers are overloaded. it's BECAUSE it's sale day that the site is down! Just shows how much interest there is today!!! Glad I got my tickets before!
  19. Thanks Johan, that's exactly it. Sorry, didn't know the different cranks etc will become required. thing is, so soon? I mean, so soon? My previous bikes I rode thousands of km's and nothing like this happened. meh. Thanks, will take it into the shop to fix. again.
  20. My cranks have a distinct grinding noise when I pedal, i can even feel it in my feet. I am imagining bearings, but I'm not a tech type, so a little unsure. If it is wearing out, how soon does it normally happen? I have hardly ridden my bike at all. Everything on the bike is stock, and brand new. Bike has roughly 200km on it, if that much. It's been in the LBS since just after sabie classic, where it has been for just below 2 months. since i got it back I have only managed 4 rides on it. I did clean it properly, lubed everything and still that noise? should i take it back to LBS to sort out? Since I purchased the bike in January, it has been constantly going back for suspension trouble, perhaps they just forgot to grease the cranks when they put it back together?
  21. lol. dis piss cool.
  22. Hey Sampie, Rock Shox Reba has a thing built in, and the experts could probably clarify it a bit more, but: When locked out, it's locked out obviously, but it does still compress, especially if you were to hit a big rock, it will still do suspension stuff. I think it's the Motion Control technology. It's a feature, not a bug! But, if you feel it's wrong, take it in to your LBS and ask them, perhaps they will tell you the same as me, or, if there is something weird, they should solve it!
  23. Buy an iphone.
  24. I don't know about rebuilding or replacing, guess I just haven't reached that point yet. lol. I have had both the Candy and eggbeaters, and while I enjoyed both, I LOVE my eggbeaters. The candy gave me some hassles (but could be cause my cleats were set up wrong?) , but never enough for me to dislike them. But, i like my eggbeaters.
  25. I have a specialized xc pro, and it came with the Reba. My thumbs up for the Reba. Don't really know any other forks, but its been cool to me!
