  1. Didn't Vouilloz have one of the lightest DH bikes when he was racing? U-turn or are top DH bikes just that much lighter than his was 10 years ago? I spy a dura ace rear derailleur http://www.mtb-mag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Vouilloz-VProcess-NV01-2001.jpg
  2. mountain bikers are soft targets, hikers should pay just as much to use the mountain in that case....

    Die Burger MTB 2014

    think I'll make a special appearance in the 42km on my SS.....
  4. so is BS banned then?
  5. must say I do appreciate the Cape Epic taking a proper stance against dopers, pity same can't be said for other events and teams, managers, sponsors etc......
  6. what was the point of making all the riders trek up to Afriski then?
  7. Cherise Stander selected for road? Didnt Impey just win the other day in Europe when he's really a top tier domestique..... James Reid ???.....
  8. not a fan of all three 'contenders' - desperately hoping for an 'upset' from an 'upstart'.....
  9. no CWG for Reid (thumbs down).....guess he will give the marathon words a go?
  10. yoh......that doesn't look kosher.
  11. 34/20, rolling on 27's.
  12. I started the threadt, might as well add to it (again) great ride back at Tokai on Saturday after around 18 months away - who cut down all the trees .....?

  15. I remember tracking his UCI ranking as a 16 or 17 yr old junior to the point where he took over Filip Polc as the highest ranked Junior DH racer in the world...... Overall the best DH racer of all time if you look at consistency and diversity of results, World Cups, World champs, Norba's etc.
  16. I thought olympic had test bikes..... edit: its Eudia in Hermanus and Mannic cycles
  17. I'm not interested in seeing the bike built up, not at all. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_psychology )
  18. I just EFT'ed the money to him.....woohoo new bike for me!!
  19. rode my 650b sunday and saturday, loved it, never actually thought about the size of the wheels while I was riding though.....
  20. tell that to Adam Hansen (not a GC rider but still) - 8 grand tours in a row!
  21. old thru axle gave problems on certain hubs (the type that are convertible - its gets stuck. new axle works perfectly
  22. Olympic have old stock 29er for under R2k
  23. 10 minute laps are tough hen there's 150 guys trying to get around - think only 51 finished all laps, they should go back to the qualifier even for the the guys not ranked within the top 50 and then say only 30 'outsiders' qualify' for sunday's race for a max of 80?
  24. the clean pic before the maiden voyage.
