A Continental Mountain King on front and a Race King on the rear. Best combo Ive ever ridden.
I did the MEZCAL thing and was very impressed. Gr8 tyres
Get rid of the SLIME and use the best STANS
The cheapest quick fix is Hairspray. It works wonders
Ja I put a Race King on the rear and a Mountain King on front. Been raining here so I will go test them this afternoon.
Jip this could be the problem, just spoke to bike shop and it is possible that the GEAX sealant that I am using is stuffing them up. Anyway I put Conti tyres on.
Hi. I recently had a set of Kenda Karma tyres fitted. After about 2 weeks the bike was standing in my spare room when at 3 am the rear tyre exploded. Cleaning Stans Sealant from walls floors and ceilings at 3 am is not my idea of fun. Anyway took the bike in and the shop recieved immediate permission to replace the tyre by the suppliers. They also appologised and said that there has been a problem with the tyres. Anyway two weeks later and straight after a ride the sidewall of the front tyre collapsed. It just blew this massive balloon out of the side wall. Right so back to the bike shop we go. Call the suppliers and they tell the bike shop to replace the tyre they also confirm that the problem tyres are sorted and the tyres at the bike shop are 100%. On Friday 80 km into a 120km training ride I have a spectacular failure of the rear tyre. Big sidewall failure. Im 40km from home on some gravel road and my wife has to fetch me. It resulted in my having to carry my bike for 5 km to a recognisable tar road otherwise my wife would never have found me. Bottom line is Im fitting other tyres today. Have any other hubbers had such negative experience with Kenda?
Good Grief I would rather look at this baby that a hot chick. Man if I owned this baby my wife would have to move into the spare room.
Wow some very cool bikes. Here is my Scott. Pimped and a pleasure to ride.
so so very sad
Next time the bunch drops me I am going to start a facebook page for myself
Julius hasnt got an old lady, somebody found him under a rock as raised him as a pet. Then he escaped and the rest is history......
The ANC will wipe their bum with our petition. Monkeyman Julius is untouchable. Wish somebody would give him a bullet
I live in Bloemfontein, there are 4 recognised cycle shops. These shops kill us. An example is a SRAM deraileur at our shops it costs R 2699.00. The same deraileur at Solomons costs R 1699.00. I mean this is totally ridiculous. A R1000 difference in price, it doesnt help you negotiate with the other shops they all charge the same. This sucks in my opinion.
I until recently had an ultimate cool saddle on my MTB. The thing was so light it made a helium baloon feel heavy. But it all comes with a price, it started chowing by ass on longer rides. Then I saw the light and fitted a FIZIK GOBI, man this is it, I even want to sit on it and watch TV. Here is the question I would like to ask from other hubbers.

The bike would look cool if Shumi had his ass on it!
The guy who hit the cyclists claims the sun was in his eyes and thus he could not see them. Funny then that he would overtake a truck when he obviously would not be able to see oncoming vehicles either. I hear he is out on R 500 bail. Lekker place this country, if you are a black oke blame apartheid if you kill a cyclist blame the sun. Face up to the music big boy, you are now a murderer.
Hope you attacked Lance on the climbs Tankman!!
Hope you attacked him on the climb Tankman
Please stop. Im getting flash backs. Had a similar experience, I just remember the last 3 km and feeling as if it was 30km. I think a person can only claim to have bonked when you feel like this. Hopefully never ever again.
Which bike do you recommend

I would rather use R4k to buy a second hand bike with slightly better components that a new bike with basic entry level components.
