  1. In rob's defence, you made it look like he called you a moron, a oxymoron is contradiction. But yes 1000X rather buy a secondhand bike. Schwinn Mesa would be a great start.
  2. Flash alu 1, this is the best bike I have ever ridden And its light
  3. Strange, my tyre was also a Kenda!
  4. Happened to me once in my bedroom....hahahaha EVERYTHING was covered in stans. Same thing also tried to seat the tyre, in my case it was the rims, I always struggled to seat my tyres until I got Stans rims (ZTR olympic and now Crest) and my problem was over. Its so easy to seat tyres on stans rims, I will never use anything else, its to frustrating struggling to get your tyres seated!
  5. Your front chainrings are the wrong size, i did the same thing also went 2X9 but you cant just take your big blade off, what is the use in that. You loose a lot of speed. I bought myself a (i think) 38 or 39 "middle blade" and a 26 small blade from starbike chainrings (brand Specialites TA)google it, its very nice rings!
  6. I use them to change hand possition and mostly when climbing. I tried to go without them but cant so they are back on my bike.

  10. You will pay more than 20% more for a new bike. Ask somebody to help you.
  11. I would say yes some pavements are better suited if there are less pedestrians using it. But what is the point of your second question?
  12. "Williams" but its not CBD its in Somerset West. William is a very good wheelbuilder.
  13. I had the same problem. I used veryfine sandpaper to sand the pads with(in water) it was better afterwords.
  14. How did you lost one?
  15. magnets?? first time I hear about that? where did you get it from? Brand?
  16. Rocky looks super nice, it looks like the waterbottles just sits there without a cage? What cage are you using?
  17. Is this watch just as big as the other festina watches? I like the looks of this one but it would look ridiculous on my arm if its as big as the other ones.
  18. Gold......
  19. Where can I buy this today in Cape town?
  20. I sold mine last week, I try not to think to much about it, I already miss mine! Need the cash, and I was not using it at the moment, due to the whole bigger wheel thing.
  21. I wonder what is CRC's turnover a year?

    Momsen Quality

    I had a momsen SL929 there was nothing wrong with the quality of the frame. There is just one thing they should consider, and that is to put a metal insert in the frame (carbon) where the chain touches the frame in the event of chainsuck. I know santa cruz, specialized etc already have that in some of there frames.
