  1. Conversion done! The beast is ready for the trails!
  2. From a branding perspective, good move. As long as the community stays as is, all is well with the world
  3. Old article, but I must say, I'm loving my Wolverine (front) / Maxxis Crossmark combo on my 29. Was gonna go with the Ardent at the front but the guy at my LBS convinced me to try the WTB. Loving it!
  4. Thanks guys, just wanted to see if it was a "quick fix" before actually scattering back to the lbs. Will do that to save me the headache. Didn't want to even touch the bike incase it escalates to something else.
  5. My apologies if this has been posted before, so please point me in the right direction if it has. While cleaning my bike over the weekend, i heard a strange noise coming from the rear wheel. To try and describe the sound accurately, it almost sounds like the metal balls in a bearing rolling over each other. To try and isolate the noise, I even took off the back wheel and spun it while holding it, and the noise is definitely coming from around the hub, and almost sounds like the bearings dried up and are rolling over each other (if that makes sense). A bit of background, this was after riding Red Barn on Sunday where I hit the trails pretty hard, then proceeded to degrease my chain using Cleen Grean. I did spray some onto the cassette, and let it sit for about 15 mins, not sure if this has any harmful effect. At a loss as to whether the bearings are fried, what else I could do to make 100% sure, and if damaged, what the cost of replacing is. I'm a noob at this. The bike is still new (less than 100km), and it's the first time I'm hearing the noise (I always give the bike a thorough check when washing). Anyone?
  6. This is great news and well done on all the effort to get this going. Played a lot of golf on that course and keen to try out the trails there. Will definitely be giving it a bash soon. Keep up the efforts! Just out of curiosity, is the golf club membership in any way tied in here, i.e. use of the trails etc. I know it's a small amount, but been toying with the idea of moving my membership to this club.
  7. Now this is a project I've been thinking about as well! Will be following this thread!

  9. Nice project! caught the highlights on the news. Nice one VW!
  10. Productivity for the day has just plummeted to an all time high of 1%
  11. Ok, I also wanna be part of the cool crowd and get me a pair. But first, let's get the silly questions out the way: Is there a distinct difference between the "Trail" and "Race" socks. Secondly, fits size 7-11? what about us size 13s? lol. Lastly, when are you getting more stock of the Black &Yellow?Want to color code with my bike. Will definitely be grabbing myself a few pairs.. my Falke collection is running thin.
  12. Definitely on my list of Trails-To-Ride
