  1. So at age 18 you can have your say about who can be president - but not be held liable for this.. BS.
  2. That's where you need a spruit drol.. Dump it nicely on his windshield.
  3. Just bear in mind that on a QR skewers with discs - the forces applied can actually loosen your skewer, so be sure to check it. http://www.ne.jp/asahi/julesandjames/home/disk_and_quick_release/ http://sheldonbrown.com/skewers.html http://forums.mtbr.com/general-discussion/disc-brakes-quickrelease-skewers-4417.html
  4. What you can do, is, change the main member on your medical aid to your spouse - if you have one- then just become a dependent on her medical aid. Mostly companies just say you have to be there if you main member otherwise you have to prove you are on spouses medical aid.
  5. This. Then she can listen to MTB'er whooping across her driveway all day long - heck we can just as well do a 24 hour race utilizing that part of the "trail"
  6. Build the next one out of concrete.
  7. What about this? http://www.carbon29er.com/ztr-stans-notubes-anodized-rims/ Maybe they can do orange as well?
  8. How are you supposed to ask for advise with some unknown rash in your pubic region when your name shows up for real? Also, how are we supposed to lie to the SO about the value of things when they can confirm here? Not a well thought out plan this..
  9. Or.. Drive along William Nicol early one morning and offer to buy one of the "commuters'" bikes for R500 - you can get Bianchi, Specialized whatever your heart desires..

  12. Isn't there a Trek Superfly in that price range? Always liked those..
  13. Does anyone have any experience with these wheels? Specifically the Flowtrail wheels - reading up on the web it seems that the freehub seems to self destruct after a worryingly short distance. Or should I stretch the budget a little and get American Classic 29er wheels?
  14. I know my Giant shock pump doubles up as a normal tube pump - so it allows switching between presta and shrader valves, the valve on a fork is normally shrader, so just check that the fitting is the right way round.
  15. Hello all, please assist with the correct spoke length on this combination of wheel spares. Firstly, for the rims, I want something strong that can take a beating, so decided on these: http://dialdbikes.co...uro-am-rim.html http://dialdbikes.co.za/images/thumbnails/1/250/458C0300_2.jpg with some Dartmoor spokes and nipples, these will be combined with these hubs: http://www.easybike....hb-785-32h.html http://www.easybike....fh-785-32h.html http://www.easybike.co.za/media/catalog/product/cache/6/image/90973f286f44dc12293a92c1421ac65d/H/B/HB-785_1.jpg What spoke length would I need to buy to build these? http://dialdbikes.co...oor-spokes.html Thanks!
  16. If anyone knows how to extract that little "extra" from someone - it's him
  17. Will upgrade front brake to a 180mm shortly, will have to upgrade the disc to match the rear one anyway Front - some Tektro disc - rear is now an XT Ice-Tec.
  18. It is quite warped. Was actually shocked to see it - another lesson learnt, don't lean on the back brakes, too much heat, not enough stopping
  19. Update - switched wheels and the disc spun like a hero. Took my wheel to Northcliff cycles and got a new disc put on - problem solved.
  20. Sasolburg - The national union of stop streets, sign posts, signage and similar signs (NUSSSPSSS) has spoken out strongly against the shooting of an unarmed stop sign earlier this week. It's spokeperson Signage Fikilelelelelikele was quoted as saying:"We will not stand for the shooting of signs, signs have been opressed and ignore for too long in this country, we will fight for a future where all signs will be obeyed and have a future in our country" his supporters broke into song and held up signs stating their support, while others were standing around displaying signs such as: "STOP", "Vanderbijlpark 10KM" and "E-toll and suck my Toll-e"
  21. Misleading title - thought someone had been shot.
  22. I like the Cannondale solution more. Actually using the electronics instead of just basically changing physical cables for electronic cables. Granted, it'll probably be a lot more expensive, but seems to be a bigger leap.
  23. I cycled to school and back - it was fantastic. Nothing beats the feeling of getting on your bike and going home while others wait for their parents to come pick them up. Only caught rain 3 times in my school career - got wet more often when out training.
  24. Question. My wife has a 26" bike with centrelock rotors, mine is 29" with 6-bolts. Can I swap the rear wheel to check if hers rubs? Spacing should be the same?
  25. Thanks for suggestions so far. Will try all of this tonight..
