WRIGHTLIGHT

Hi Nic, never heard of chain cyclery in hillcrest, are they new, and where are they???

....long shot....are these still available?

Good ol powerscam, costs R11 landed and shipped to your door. Poor ol suckers that paid R495 for a color piece of rubber with a cheap peeling hologram

Have been riding XT's for a year now, 100% hassle free and 100% bomb proof, weigh 88kg and have had no problems at all. Yes AC's are lighter, but not half as strong. 3 of my mates ride AC's and all have had problems with denting and deep scrathes, and one of them is a 9yr old. XT's are the way to go.

The Sparks are awesome, saw the complete Spark range at Leigh's Cycle centre yesterday. Hmmm, bought my Ghost on Friday. Not to sure if thier weights are correct, would love to put them on a scale.

Bring on the parallel and grey imports. My mate had a problem with his Shimano XT r/d, took it too his lbs, who charged him R1600 to replace it. If you shop online at local internet shops, they are +-R650, hmmmmmm, does not take a rocket scientist to realise we are being ripped off and guys are lining their pockets. I am in sales.....the way to make money is by reducing margings and increasing output.

Just tried to look there....... "due to overwhelming response, this site is closed.......

The XT's are great and very strong, extra weight is worth the reliability +-1650g. American Classics are light and not too strong 1450g Token....don't know, looks good.

I am looking at buying a new 2011 Ghost Lector 7400 Carbon Full Susser, and was wondering if carbon is the way to go or not. I weigh 88kg, and mostly ride 40-45km 3-4 times a week, 2 rides are trails and races and the rest around the hood. Can you use the same bike cleaners/grease/lubes etc How does carbon compare to Alu and is the R5k extra worth it??

My mate and his son have had similar problems with their AC MTB rims, son is 9yrs old, and has put nice dents in them doing 20km races. Yes, they are light....but way too soft. Have been using XT's now for 2yrs with no problems.

I urgently need bearings for my Scott swingarm, they are 63800 VRS, where can I find these?? Tried all the bearing shops, they reckon it's a specialized item.

I use an energy drink, training rides are in the morning on an empty stomach, besides a cup of coffee. I lost 5kg in 1 month with no side effects

I see earlier in this thread that Capricorn was upgrading to Elixir CR's.....I see he is now selling them due to upgrading? Rad, have you still got the XT's....price?

Scott Spark 40 is still a winner. Would rather go Merida One Twenty 1000D than a pure race bike like the 96

How good are the ALEX XCR Pro Scandium Wheels 6 bolt, 32 spoke hubs Double butted spokes DT spokes Light weight Scandium rims 1509 grams a pair exlcuding skewers
