  1. any idea if anyone was arrested?not that it will bring back a fellow rider , but i hope the people/poephol responsible for this death gets his day in court. RIP.
  2. good idea to check those little buggers every now and then.my pivot bearing got ovalized because of a loose bolt.drilling and sleeves were the end result at big cost.

  5. shocks still not back but then again they did warn me that they are very busy after the epic .waiting in anticipation.asked for a quote before starting to work,have not heard anything so i guess they have not started as yet.will let hubbers know how it went.shock at omnico at the moment
  6. 2 piece always worked better for me
  7. Nick Cave and the badseeds out jump the devil
  8. congratulations to all hubbers who competed and or completed 2 oceans whether it be the half or the real one.
  9. thanks djr.just bad timing with the long weekend and i guess places closed for the weekend but will go to lbs tomorrow and see.can i not take it to omnico themselves.i know where they are maybe save some time with less people involved?
  10. forgot to add.it still moves on the stanction but there is a puddle of oil/fluid where the bike was standing now in the garage. how long does it normally take to fix something like that as i would not like to be divorced from my bike too long seeing that it is long weekend
  11. Hi all fellow hubbers and hopefully fundis.I have,hopefully not had,a fox float RP2 that sort of died on me today.was riding fine and after coming from hillcrest through majik forrest saw that the shock was wet on top near the lever.there was suddenly a lot of pedal bob even in lockout mode and worse when open.is the shock kaput or fixable and if fixable who to take to and possible size of hole in wallet.
  12. this is kxk.over the years i have had 2 bikes stolen,a stolen car(while at court)and my house has been burgled a few times.I really feel for your loss and will keep a lookout for your bike.i really hope this thread has a happy ending one day.never got my car or the one bike back.
  13. no she is just wearing a braille top.
  14. any ideas about ghost
  15. if walking up a hill is an indication of a development rider that should not be there in the race then i am also a development rider .i walk some uphills maybe because i have developed more around the waist the last 25 years since starting cyling.
  16. I will be interested but only if there are some other stickers on the frame hiding small cracks as well and the prize for such a bicycle should be at least double your asking price.if you throw in the bibs with the skidmarks left by the crash i will be even more interested. ps this should not be construed as a dibs on this beautiful spez.
  17. thanx HJV1999
  18. i have a garmin edge 705,but lost the charger(AC charger).Can the unit be charged through the data cable that links with the computer?
  19. @baster brak i suggest a good mechanic for a start.
  20. i am sram for many a year and have never had any problems.
  21. What do you do to keep out dirt from between the crankarm where it goes on splines and the frame where the bb is.i can see that there is some grease there.do i take it out every now and again and put new grease in or what.
  22. i also do the deflate , remove valve core,inject,blow ritual.no problems after 5 years plus of riding tubeless.
  23. i always thought that punctures are part of mtb racing.you can take precautions like tubeless,sealant,tyreliners etc , but in the end i believe that punctures are an inherent part of the sport.
  24. the sum of them is bigger than the two parts.it is a team race and just having two strong riders does not necessarily make you a strong team.however in erik and arianne's case i think they are both strong and work well together which is the winning recipe.no use working well together , but not having talent and also no use having all the talent and not working together.
  25. yip so now we know how docile the new zealanders are.but then again huge disappointment to come that far and dnf.keep up the updates.see the woman leaders in rainjackets.where do they store them when rain stops as i do not see camelbacks?what is the weather prediction for the rest of the day.looking forward to go to lourensford to see the end.
