  1. I think having a good teacher is the key... Thanks Peach, it was time well spent! I would definitely suggest your services to MTB'rs- everything you learn can be applied to everyday riding. And your mates will be super impressed with your new found skills!
  2. Omnico replaced my GT Zaskar carbon frame without any hassles! It had a few cracks in the rear triangle. It took about 1 week, and I received a newer model version ( in a more aesthetically pleasing colour) RAVE OMNICO
  3. Me first me first Sunday pm?
  4. Contact Justin who works at the gear change in Woodstock and ask him to give you a few technical riding lessons one on one- he is very good
  5. Crank brother pedals are pretty but shite...maintenance is a regular requirement. Buy xt and ride...
  6. Thank you!
  7. Sounds good - may enter a 2 man team
  8. Nice frame!! What about a custom spray job for the fork?
  9. I can help on Sunday if there is any work going on...
  10. It's so cool that the dog stops for a second for the biker to catch up, and then goes racing off again..
  11. I will gladly make a contribution towards the fee. Good luck in catching the scum that ruin our sport!
  12. Any upgrades- I.E. groupset, wheels etc... Mileage / wear & tear? This would affect the price. Anywhere from 30-50% less than cost for a 2 year old bike in decent condition. But that is just my opinion...
  13. Thanks for showing my riding buddy &I what the correct way would be to ride the jumps.
  14. You have to give us more info... Hardtail or full sus? 26er / 29er? Etc... Show is a pic of what you have been doing your training rides on
  15. Where in JHB north?
  16. Jislaaaaik Bru - you look serious!!!!
  17. I know you can go to Hector Norris Park ( JHB South) - one of the main guys there ( if not the main guy) is Grenville Scullard. They are always keen for new blood & I'm sure they will accommodate you wrt a bike to try out... Pm me if you're keen & I'll find out more info...
  18. Sad news - Sorry to hear :-(
  19. That is disgusting- I hope whoever stole it rides off the side of a cliff!!
  20. No man- wtf!!! Condolences to both families.
  21. I kinda think you're missing the point... And there is no way a country road like that would have a speed limit of 100 - More like 60 / 70... I wish they would show this ad on SA TV.
  22. It wasn't the blue packaging- it was more of a brown packaging if memory serves me correctly...
  23. Woolworths bacon is about R36 per pkt. Now this price doesn't seem that much higher than PNP @ R28/ R29 per pkt. Except for the weight of the pkt - WW only has 200gm in theirs,but everyone else has the traditional weight of 250gm. It really irks me when they reduce pack weight/qty and charge the same price. This is just another way they mark up the prices but it makes me think they are trying to catch consumers unawares...
  24. Hey guys Only 2 riders are keen on my suggestion- therefore... I think it'll be a better option to join the bigger groups ( to hopefully create more awareness) I'm going to join the ride starting in Linden. I see on the Tread Mtb website there is a list of different 'organized' rides available...
  25. I'm keen to do a Burry ride on the 3rd in memory of my MTB hero. Are any Hubbers keen to join me - the general ability of riders present will dictate the pace& trails. Maybe 16:30ish?
