  1. Cut a strip from a red bull can or better yet, imported beer. Wonder if that would work? Just keep things like galvanic corosion in mind.
  2. I basically moved from Stellies(student) to pta last year. Pros: I really love sport and there's at least one event every weekend within 100km radius from here. (road/mtb/running/adventure sports) I you're looking for something, doesn't matter what, you'll find it here in gauteng. Sporting equipment, electronics, spesific ingredients, whatever. It's all here) You've got events/shows at montecasino/coca cola dome/emperors/sun city. There's a great mall around every block. International mail centre is here, so faster crc. Service is good. Lot's of work available If you're smart, you don't have to sit in traffic. No wind. Cons: Have to pay for everything. No cwc, but we've got johan bornman. Fugly in winter. No mountains Dust cloud A lot of angry stressed individuals. Taxis The "I am better and richer than you" crowd Everything is expensive. No winetasting Not the best place to raise children if you have certain religous believes.(My opinion) Last but not least: It's not Cape Town My plan is to move to Cape Town when I'm 28-30.
  3. Good of you to actually take the time to take it up with the organizers.
  4. libra health. try to google it. DOn't have the info with me
  5. And this is why something should always first be taken up with the alleged guilty party and if they still don't want to listen, then take it further
  6. haha, ja I know sometimes we really don't feel like doing anything, so we just ask without doing some research first
  7. I didn't meen to be mean. (Is my spelling correct?) It's just that there's usually 3 different threads about the same thing every month. To give some input: I use poplock and prefer that, as you can easily change the floodgate(think it's the floodgate) from your handlebar. Seems like crc has it as discontinued.
  8. 1. click on advanced search at top right. 2. search the forums for poploc or pushloc 3. get the answer 4. if you can't find it, ask again and I'll give you the link
  9. Honda mtb stage race was like R200 or R300
  10. Only for beginners? Or will the more experienced rider benefit from this
  11. Also check to see if it's not dirty and make sure the seatpost is not further out than the max
  12. quick release
  13. Why QR seatclamp? Is it to easily lower saddle for when you want to get creative on route
  14. Well. Depends what you want to do. You can still jump a curb with a normal mtb, which will also be easier to do the 15km with. If you want to play around and do some urban jumps of say 1m and higher then you can get a urban/dirt jump bike. DO a search on dirt jump. The bikes with which they do balancing tricks is called a trials bike. WOuldn't recommend riding 15km with that. They normally don't even have a saddle. Give some more info, and then maybe we can help some more.
  15. Attach as an attachment
  16. You did 600km's over the last two weeks? Think I did that much since april on my mtb
  17. You should be able to fix that leak somehow. My bike has been standing for 7 weeks and haven't lost any pressure. Running a race king protection and crossmark ust with stans
  18. for ultimate mtb's go to www.pinkbike.com But I suppose you're talking about ss. They should have a few
  19. Sure it should work. Just like my xt fd works on my double crankset.
  20. I've got a file going on how to choose components. I should just go sit down and finish the damn thing. Will be aimed at mtb though
  21. mmm. Riding both I can never really contribute to these kind of threads, but let me say this: After family members(mtb'ers) started riding tandem, the mtb'ers stopped greeting them on route.
  22. Or get to irene area via lenchen and do this: http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/south-africa/centurion/976126626035368317
  23. Get onto lenchen or Nelmapius and work your way towards Central Centurion. From there get onto Botha laan and follow it untill Fountains circle. From Fountains there's two routes: 1. Take nelson mandela drive untill Trichardt and turn right on Trichardt. From Trichardt turn off onto Botha lane again and work your way back home. 2. Take Nelson mandela and turn left up to klapper kop. Just follow the road and eventually it will become Rigel Ave. Cross over the N1 and after a few km's turn right in hans strijdom, which becomes louis trichardt and then on to botha and work your way back home.
  24. This is my "opinion". They are not spesific to certain frames. You get some components that are made for certain frames, but not in general. Things like stems, handlebars, groupsets etc are personal choice and are there to get the best fit for each individual.
  25. Or, he is a duelie(roadie and mtber)
