Damb those are nice , i take it spoke tention is what it is and spoke relacement is not a option

just get agood one , DMR you cant go wrong with .

Seriousy , you have more than enough bikes , i think that green puppy will be better in my house .

No Bro , got a DMR on my training bike and it has never moved .

Recent ish , skinny wheels was Waldeks .

good / cheap / reliable / bright = magic shine MJ872 , i use mine almost every day on my commute plus many night rides at modders ect. Best lights IMO are Exposure and Lupine . but not cheap .

Um I want !!!!!!! I got a cannondale for you

Eldron , that frame is aarking mooi !

just replaced the chain and 15 sproket on my one bike . 6000km + and the front blackburn ring is still perfect . was a track chain and shimano dx sprocket .

Induna , this weekend its a fantastic race . will be there as usual

Also remember 2 x 10 chain ring bolts are perfect . EG shimano xt work a treat . Ask lbs too .

just remember you the one on a 6" dual sus bike , with knee pads , protective baggies , full face helmet , riding on courses with trees wrapped in pading . now he has non of this right ? he seems harder than you bud

Exzakery , but sadley on this here hub place you will be told your bike is the wrong kind , your kit unaceptable, and your life suxs .

.

am i the only one who is getting a bit tired of reading all these types of threads , you know , the my way is better than the whole world and thy shall only hear my opinion or be flamed for not being like me .

Best grease on the planet !

meat is meat and a man must eat ................

you cut me deep Bro , very Deep . now go read rule no2

Rules of the Man's Cave . 1. You never speak about the man's cave, its a mans sanctuary and you accept it as is, never compare . 2. No assholes 3. refer to rule no 1 4. if you still reading this refer to rule no 2.

great thread . you are hitting the nail on the head . let's be clear that riding technique and tires go hand in hand. what works for one person may not work for the other , it's the fun part about this sport ( try diff tires and see what works for you ) allot like motor racing , each driver has his car setup to his driving technique from tires to pressure act . rocket rons / cross marks and that's me , I'm looking for land . mountain kings I find too aggressive and I over steer . race kings / rithcey WCS I love but recently found that I'm at my fastest at the XCO events and single track on Ikons . all tires are good in a straight line but when you want to rip single track then things change . this above point I'm making shows with a friend of mine , hands down the fastest single track rider I know ( saying allot considering the likes of Greg minaar fall in my friends list ) he does this on rocket rons how is simple , they work for him and his riding technique . Happy practicing guys , find what works for you .

if it needs a adaptor then this is friggen cheap . if its a straight fit ( no extra parts needed ) then just do it yourself . or if you love your LBS , then let them do it .

perhaps some details might help hay . Edenglen cycling club do a few rides out there often , had one this past sat.

yip

Smooth in , smooth out . trust your tires ( unless you riding crap ones ) and make sure your pressures are correct for you . Smooth and consistant is always faster than skidding brakes and wild riding .

ok my nuts just sucked up behind my eye balls
