  9. So... If something comes up for sale at a good deal youd take it? Im in the same waters as you. I just think it might be something I will really enjoy!
  10. So, I have been doing a fair bit of research here on TBH, and see alot of devided opinions on the matter. One half are thinking its a consipiracy theory for bike manufacturers to keep taking our money. The other half sees it as a practical solution to alot of things, ie. Replace your road bike with a gravel bike, its more comfy, you can easily go off the road on dangerous sections of traffic or climb curbs, you can do road races with them, all be it not UCI races, but who is checking. In fact, I saw someone do a sub 3 hour in the CTCT with a gravel bike.... I for one believe this is the bike that is in fact not the N+1 bike, but the bike that can give a person, the best of three worlds. Whats your take on the matter, try and stay positie if at all possible lol
  11. Here is one of the best ways! https://www.schwalbe.com/de/pressureprof
  12. http://www.malaysiakini.com/letters/280264 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucocorticoid according to what I have found its for muscle injuries? Or am I missing the plot? Why was it administered for nausea? Apparently there is no "performance enhancing" properties, except if its possible to use as masking agent?
  13. Chris? .....
  14. Hey, Im a "boertjie", anytime I get to act like someone from another culture I am bound to mess it up... LOL
  15. Always great to see everyone is an expert here..... I can almost guarantee 90% of you guys moaning about the bike probably needs to get some more love from "mamma". The facts are. ALL dealerships have launches EVERY year... that's where they show their new bikes. Its not the launch of an all new bike like car dealers do with say a whole new model. The fact that you dont know this proves how expert your opinions are. The differences are.. (LET ME SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU) ALL new XT 11 speed groupset (OBVIAAAS)Upgraded Fork from EVO to Performance seriesHubs(XT)- NO ONE has ridden these apart form probably a hand full of testers, So wait to ride it before you judge or. Might be good (just sayin)Second bottle cage (OBVIAS) Not alot of dual sus bikes allow 2 bottle cages and also keeps the center of gravity low, which, had you ridden your bikes and not moan on the hub, as you do, you would know is a big deal.New SaddleNew TyreInternal cable issue- Try replacing it... on your own... you will beg for external. Also when the cable runs on the inside allot of times it rusts up a lot quicker. Solid housing prevents this there are also less exposed bends the cable can grind against causing friction As we all know Orange is the new black... If you don't like the bike... ride it, it will change your opinion. I have ridden allot of bikes in my times. This thing is flippen good. By the way. Think how boring our lives would have been if all our bikes was matte black with some sort of gloss decal.. BLEH wheres the imagination. When you were a kid, did you color in using black only(NO) and you had much more fun back then, be a kid again, isnt that why we ride our bikes, to forget about the daily lives making us grumpy forum bitchers. Dont think like that man, HAVE FUN. Ride an flippen pink bike if its up you alley. Who cares. BIG UPS Team MOMSEN! I think its FABULAAAS.. Oh and ps.. Cant wait to get mine in a couple of weeks.
  16. what calipers do you have?
  17. Dont know... i looked at those pics... the hubs do look like zipp hubs and not those novatech excuses... might be wrong though, the pics are quite small
  18. Name changed due to popular demand! hahaha
  19. Actually thought of changing my name... haha
  20. Likewise... I mean i let road a couple of years back, if i could afford both i would but MTBiking is getting a bit overrated and to commercial ... Road biking in the old days (1990-2004 ish) used to be huge fun! RABUBI: I Always have a drink in hand haha just joking..

  22. So I thought id find out whats going on with all the roadies. I mean i know the roads aren't safe but i think it all depends on where you ride... I think we should get road cycling back to the glory days... Track cycling as well...
