  2. HT teaches you skill Dual Sus teaches you bad habits learn the skill first then progress to a dual When we started racing many moons ago it was 26" HT only , over the years you can spot the riders who have done it properly and those who just drop massive amo on a bike they cant ride.

  9. E-Bikes are not going away so the lets just incorporate them . The solution is simply give them their own class behind the " std " bikes and in that class they have two batches, Stock UCI regulated bikes and "OPEN" class where you can do what you like to your e-bike.
  10. Seen this a few times on tires that are exposed to the heat of a cars exhaust pipe, it heats up and gets the same perish signs as this and delaminates the carcass of the tire . put your bike on your caddy and take a look if your cars exhaust is blowing on it when you driving . if not then this does not apply to you 🙂
  11. Thats a 2004 Crank , 18 years old . not sure how a person would claim that .
  12. In this industry if you really want to open a store and turn your hard earned money into a 1 million rand profit over a few years you best start off with 10 million when you open your store, this industry you open for passion not profit. Don't do it all the comments from all parties on this topic have given the OP a clear answer .
  13. THIS ! I can agree to based on experience
  14. running sucks ! but after years of cycling i started running to cross train , then one thing after another things like triathlons happened , trail running happened , street running happened , awesome people happened now i run more than i cycle. running still sucks but i cant wait to go do runs , i don't understand the sport

  22. When it comes to fuels its always tricky as we all react differently to products. For me its been cyctomax for yours but of late my Mrs and I have been using Tailwind and must say its been fine for us .
