  1. and for a moment i thought i had one too many at lunch.
  2. i will stay away if after the fit i am more energy consuming,but i get your drift,just pulling your leg.
  3. picked up 3 gu and one vooma and 2 tubes on meerendal yesterday.not good people.
  4. i am not an xpert but that looks like too much bike for that little money.
  5. with the breaking rubber you will only see the results in about 9 months though.
  6. if the rubber breaks you are in for a nice surprise.other that that little side joke swiss van and ryan is correct.also try to get as much sleep as possible.
  7. i have done a few of the argus mtb before and then rode with my son a few years ago just to give him a chance to experience a race situation.for various reasons i have stopped doing this race.so last week while others were doing the argus mtb some friends and i took the scenic route on the mtb via majik,ntida,hillcrest,kliprug,contermans and back to my house.we had a few beers and discussed mtb in general while having our recovery drinks in the pool.we then lit the fire and while having a lekker braai watched some awfull rugby.that is in my viewpoint the way to spent a day and there were no goodies bags or medals,or parking problems or race numbers or st clogged up etc.
  8. that armpit has spoiled my day.
  9. fs for comfort ,but if you are chasing the podium 29 ht.can easily be done on both just depends on what r u going to do with the bike most of the time.that is if you are on a budget like me and not having a weapon of choice for every different type of terrain.
  10. how did we get here from a question about suspension.this is why i like the hub
  11. good for you to push to the end.
  12. maybe he / she did not like his/her blackberry anymore.pitty about the tube littering though,but maybe the cel fell out of the pocket while changing tubes.try to phone some of the numbers from the fone and hopefully someone will recognize the number and the owner.try phoning the last number.
  13. y r u all asleep.i am not going to sleep untill someone answers me and i am very tired.please
  14. mongoose.docthis black piece near the bb is the part i am looking for
  15. evening all.i have a mongoose canaan elite wich has served me well.i have a problem and would appreciate any help.my suspension link(do not know the correct term)has ovalized.it is the black link that is very near the bb.if have been told to take it to enginering shop to have it redrilled and a sleeve put in.i have taken to a few shops but no one wants to do it as they say they cannot charge me what it is worth.so i have resorted to fixing it with a coke can as a sleeve and it should keep me hopefully a few weeks/months.my question is 1 where can i find this black link and if it cannot be bought where is a enginering shop/diy oke who can help.i am in cape town northern suburbs.help help help help.
  16. i was about to say cable ties and isolation tape,but it seems i have nothing further to offer.the nail glue seems like a good idea.let me go and shop affirmatively at the wife's cupboard to see what else needs some gluing in the garage tonight.
  17. i also thought that i was going slitely senile as i missed my weekly fight with the wife re greys anatomy vs mtb.i am glad that the gloves can be put on again, because even if the background music on mi way mtb shows are irritating it still beets the crappers out of judith grey.(u see how bad it was i even remember the girls name.please make it stop before i mite even buy the huisgenoot in stead of tread,ride etc)
  18. first and foremost it is good to hear that you are ok.i hope he gets what he deserves in this life or the next.
  19. also about 10-15 to go.should be there next year june if all goes well.
  20. if you want to see a heavy mtb come and look at my mongoose dual sus xl.my friends refer to it as the boat anchor.
  21. i do not look at the kgs as it is difficult to envisage,but everytime i open the fridge and look at the buttercup i do the visualization.
  22. this is all way to technical too me.what i do understand however is that in the last year i have lost 12 kg and the hills are way easier now.(i am on a mtb) the same bike the same course etc.i normally look at it this way.if a buttercup weighs 250g i am now carrying 48 buttercups less uphill.no wonder cycling has become more joyfull to me.
  23. sorry cannot help as here in cape town we only have bossies garden
  24. thought you had enough rain.
