Been using the non UST version on my 29'er for more than a year now, my favourite race tyre at this point.

Does your wife know you're posting pictures of her on the interweb?

For those interested check out www.thedailyfix.co.za race report plus some cool pics from last night and our previous meeting are up.

What's the Pizza for? We have Johnnys Roti's that make a mean chip and triple cheese right around the corner from there and besides eating is cheating, that's what the beer is for.

Allycat race? Kinda but we can't call it that because none of us are messengers, that would just make us fakengers, we just find a block somewhere, rock up, drink some beer and race around it for 5 minutes (+1 lap) then we have a skid comp, then we ride up to the beer spot to go drink some more beer, good night out.

Just look for a normal quill stem, it's a fixie, it doesn't need special stuff.

bar and stem..stickers.....some flashtastic lights we had some underground racing last night in obs. Who knew that there's a rush hour at 8:44pm on our course? brake kinda comes in handy when a corsa lite comes out of the dark. i heard about thiswho won? Santa Dave took it, I got switched twice by cars in a not so nice manner, it'll be up on www.thedailyfix.co.za a little later today.

Buy the cheapest best bike you can get your hands on, people spend way to much money on this sort of thing, you can be competitive with alot less.

The guy that won the 24 hour SS world champs (and the guy that came 2nd), used a 32-20 gearing on 29'ers. With normal wheels I think the 2-1 ratio is normally used, so a 32-16.

Hey HR, a mate of mine has that exact bike, it's pretty cool actually. All you need to do is flip the bar, cut it off make it fixed and take the back brake off.

Yeah, my favourite pair of Assos has been doing service since the 2006 Trans Baviaans, got a new pair last year as well, both still rock.

The hoses themselves have different external and internal diameters to you normal hoses, they've done away with the olives as well.

Use the Goodridge fittings, don't even bother trying with anything else.

Naah, sale of my other 29'er fell through so I couldn't get this one. Woulda been cool but alas so be it.

Convert to tubeless and put fatter takkies on as well, like a 2.3, that sort of region will go long way towards making it a little better.

It tends to keep the *** in more than it keeps the *** out.

A few years ago I rode a steel Scapin (not mine), it was the most beautiful bike I have ever ridden, it still keeps me awake at night. Steel frame, carbon record, Neutron wheels, weighed 7 kg's, and it was a beautiful ride, nothings come close since.

He only does steel as far as I know, not too sure he'll be using the latest stuff though?

The Curtlo's are preety damn nice too!

Road or Mtb? You can order a custom built Scwinn Paramount, beautiful thing, other than that not much real quality steel coming into the country.

Was pretty funny on Sunday on my way hone after watching some carnage at Boyes Drive (very disappointing I might add!), wind was giving it some stick and I was going way to fast to pedal, unclipped and rode with feet on the top tube for about kay and a half. Was bloody entertaining hitting bumps along the way.

Phone Olaf, he's got some fixie hubs at his place, he can also help you get your baby up and running.

HR, you trying to do bar spins? I can't flick my front wheel around without the tyre catching on the downtube, kinda sucks, there is however an intense and child like joy to be derived from throwing all your weight forward and sliding through cars parked in traffic (while wearing my work suit), just about the most fun thing in the world!

What are you lot on about, the wind hasn't really been blowing for about a week and a half.
