  1. I had this at a pick and pay. They had two boxes of pots in somewhat dsetroyed boxes, standing on a shelf marked R289. Load up a box as it is a well known brand that normally goes for a LOT more. Get to the till and sure enough the price rings up as R1499.. They honored the price on the shelf. So I received like R1200 discount...
  2. First post.. Smells like advertising..
  3. Uber cool means it stays cooler than ICE TEC, so of course it beats it in performance. Simple science really.
  4. They have a lot of options it seems.. http://www.dubairoadsters.com/events_safeplacetoride.html
  5. According to one of the fitters at the cycle lab megastore, who worked there for a while, he said that one of the shaiks' sons is quite into cycling, and he had his dad/uncle whatever build him that track.. He also echoed the sentiments that cycling is very big over there. My opinion, seeing as there is a lot of desert, could be one of the biggest fat bike markets
  6. What we do not want. "In conclusion, having test ridden the Santa Cruz Tallboy on all my usual routes in and around Gauteng, I can conclude that it is a terrible bike when compared to the Specialized Venge. Not only is it heavier the wide tires make a hell of a racket." Or the reverse.. "Thus my review for the Specialized Venge concludes. It was absolutely fscking terrifying using this bike down normally tame trails, the brakes perform admirably but the tires were a mission to convert to tubeless, while not having enough sealant to properly seal more than 3 punctures. I much prefer my Santa Cruz.."
  7. Well, ideally I'd think you'd want a wide variety of people so you know they're testing the bikes properly. I mean no point in having someone scared to go down a hill at full tilt, testing a long travel enduro bike or fork.
  8. Deffo fake.. : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Santa-Cruz-Nomad-Carbon-650B-XX1-build-RRP-6200-/171425187703?pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item27e9bcc777
  9. http://johannesburg.olx.co.za/santa-cruz-nomad-carbon-650b-xx1-build-rrp-for-saleframe-size-medium-iid-689802764 http://images04.olx-st.com/ui/10/31/64/1407407332_689802764_1.jpg We went along the standard kit but added a few nice extras to make it that little bit better. Here is a run down of the spec; Nomad Carbon 650B frame - Aqua blue/Magenta Rockshox Monarch plus debonair - Awesome bit of kit Rockshox Pike RCT3 forks - Grey decals rather than magenta pictured. SRAM XX1 groupset SRAM Guide brakes - Brilliant bit of kit Mavic Crossride wheelset Maxxis High Roller II tyres Renthal Fat bar handlebars Selle Italia saddle Easton Haven stem Rockshox Reverb stealth seat post Lock on grips Pedals - none supplied. For R21 000.. Seems a bit cheap..
  10. He mentions Fox fork in the ad, but it's a rockshox fork in the pictures, someone selling a bike like this should know those things.
  11. Also, overheard a salesman in Cyclelab Fourways this weekend, telling a customer that the cannondales will be going on special form the 25th of this month.
  12. I've got one. Quite happy, no issues to report
  13. Check here: http://dialdbikes.co.za/deity.html
  14. http://gizmodo.com/100-years-of-tour-de-france-bikes-map-the-evolution-of-709973821 Can't post the whole article. But very interesting.
  15. http://media3.giphy.com/media/feqkVgjJpYtjy/giphy.gif Thats rough.
  16. Also, please make sure you reference CycleSure as much as possible in you posts, even posts links if need be. This thread to the top of the google search page. I'm getting my policy as well, looking at moving.
  17. Maybe tweet this account as well:
  18. As in this guy: Assume its him. Got pictures of him riding epic with Hollard clothing...
  19. The motors will be noisy, but this is a well known safety feature of Avid brakes thus far.
  20. Perfect - thank you!
  21. Can you fit a 32t sprocket on a 105 rear derailleur? This is a 9-spd setup but I do not know if it is long/short or medium cage. If this is not possible, would there be any reason that a 9-spd Acera rear derailleur wouldn't work with 9-spd 105 STI's?
  22. Would it count if you go to harties, use the lift up and then just bomb down the DH track.. Rinse and repeat. Plus you get to say you did it on a DH bike.
  23. That has the same type of suspension design as a Spez. If you can get over the weight this is great bang for buck! Where is the sarcasm font?
  24. Contact extreme lights, http://www.extremelights.co.za/, they supply those with some of their lights, maybe they can give you a single one.
