So here's the results. The whole inner lining is loose. The top picture is of the tyre turned inside outstewie9112010-06-01 10:36:44

I've also wondered. Maybe some bikes are better balanced that others

Easy Mampara. Proper lube - What you prefer. Ask your bikeshop to recommend one. (What I like about a wax based dry lube is that you can touch them and your hands won't be all black.) - Shouldn't have said that

Nice Tarmac. That looks like aerozine cranks. Which ones are you using and how big is the rings for the 29er

Use whatever you like. Sunlight/diesel/clean green The more important part is to properly lube afterworths

I opened it yesterday and parts of the inner layer has come lose. Will post pics tomorrow night. I doubt a bottom-out happened, as I run my tyres at 2.5bar and I weigh around 69kg.

sign up for the isuzu 3 towers. Heard it's good. I'm doing it this year

Well done. I set up my gears according to sram guide that comes with it and it is always silky smooth. I don't even take it for a testdrive afterworths. Bikeshops is suppose to do this, but they don't always get it right.

R330 vat inc from crc Locally I think they cost around R550. For me crc is better. I mean, what's the chances of a defect tyre anyways. And we go through a few tyres a year.

Will have a look at OKO. Now, the question is what do I do with my front tyre? Throw out the stans and use OKO or throw out the tyre. I don't want that happening during a race or ride

So, it's a throw away? And I can't blame anyone but myself

I quickly went back to the bike and the tyre has a bigger twist and has a bump towards the outside. I deflated it to about 1bar, because I'm afraid it will burst.

NOt exhaust or photoshop. Tyre was just fine 2 days ago and I didn't touch the bike from then

Don't know - Tyre seemed to have same pressure as sunday. How do I fix it. I did unflate it and it seemed fine, but when I inflated again, it got back to this.

Also heard that, but I thought stans was the one without amonia, which is obviously wrong, cause I checked 1 min ago.

Delamination is my fear yes. Only time will tell.

Tyre still has plenty of life left. Will open it up when I have time, to see what goes on on the inside. Luckily I have a mountain king to put on.

Too young to be married and no girl. Haven't been on the bike since Sunday. I'm getting jittery

So, I'm making ready for tonights night ride. I spin my rear wheel to see if the rotor rubs and wham: My tyre is stuck against the frame. It's worst than the picture indicates. It's a kenda tyre UST with Stans sealant. Has been running tubeless for about 3 months now. I deflated the tyre and pumped it up again. Twist doesn't go away.

Nou kan hulle voortrekker, fountains, groenkloof en klapperkop link. Sal awesome wees. Hulle moet net eers klapperkop veilig kry.

Here's a mail received yesterday: Geagte Vriende Soos reeds vroe?r aan u genoem, is daar die afgelope paar maande baie hard agter die skerms gewerk om 'n bergfietsbaan, met 'n verskeidenhied van baie interessante en in sommige gevalle uitdagende opsies en 'n totale lengte van meer as 25 km, op die VTM Erfenisterrein te ontwikkel. Dit het nou s? ver gevorder dat die baan op 7 Junie 2010 aan die media voorgestel gaan word, terwyl die eerste groot byeenkoms beplan word vir Saterdag, 7 Augustus 2010 (meer besonderhede oor lg. later). Van die belangrikste eienskappe van die baan is soos volg: a. Die verskillende opsies maak voorsiening vir die volle spektrum, van basiese beginners tot gevorderde "adrenalienverslaafdes", met verskillende wegspringplekke om dit nog meer interessant te maak. Verdere roetes sal later vanjaar ontwikkel word. b. Dit is gele? in 'n veilige, omheinde natuurreservaat met 'n wye verskeidenheid fauna en flora, met voldoende, veilige parkering. c. Daar is 'n verskiedenheid ander fasiliteite op die baan wat ook benut kan word, insluitende padfietsroetes, wandelpaaie, stap- en drafroetes, perderitte met gidse, braaiplek op die piekniekterrein en vele meer. d. Lede van die geselskap wat nie fiets ry nie, kan intussen die VTM en die Erfenissentrum (normale toegangsgeld betaalbaar by beide), Fort Schanskop, die kunsgalery, die Muur van Herinnering, Gedenktuin ens besoek (lg's. almal ingesluit by die basiese toegangsgeld), of ontspan by een van ons verskeie verversingspunte of die geskenkwinkel. e. 'n Fietsdiensstasie en basiese onderdelewinkel sal, afhangend van die aanvraag, later vanjaar op die terrein geopen word. Fietse sal ook mettertyd te huur aangebied word. f. Die toegangsgeld per fietsryer is R20,00 per persoon, betaalbaar by die hoofhek of by die nuwe toegangshek aan die noordelike kant van die terrein. Gereelde ryers kan dit oorweeg om teen R150,00 per persoon per jaar as 'n Vriend van die VTM aan te sluit. Vriende word by bewys van lidmaatskap vrygestel van die normele hektoegangsgeld.(Kyk aangehegte aansoekvorm) Graag word 'n elektroniese pamflet rakende die bekendstelling van die baan om 15h00 vir 15h30 op Woensdag, 9 Junie 2010 hierby aangeheg. Belangstellendes word ook vriendelik genooi om 'n baie stimulerende video oor die nuwe baan te besigtig. Die video is geplaas op youtube (onder 'voortrekkermtb' - click hier om te sien: ). Vriendelike groete Gert Opperman Hoof Uitvoerende BeampteGert Opperman For the english okes: Basically it says new tracks coming soon. (more than 25km) You can buy a season ticket

I thought we settled on "chops" as the correct spelling. I mean "tjops" as in poephols

I have been looking forward to this event since I first heard of it beginning of the year. I just saw on the MH website that it is the same day as 94.7. What a bunch of chops

Please give more info on logwood. I wasn't in Gauteng, while they were still open. Is it something like the MTN bike park?
