  1. tubeless tubeless tubeless
  2. crossmarks tubeless front and back.f 1.8 bar b 2.1 bar.i weigh 104 kg.riding dual.so far so good with the crossmarks ie no punctures etc.cornering a bit of a problem.when the crossmark is done i will put a monorail infront.
  3. riding on private land without prior consent is a definite no no."my right to swing my arms stop where the other person's nose begins"
  4. had second attack in majik forrest near durbanville last week as well.
  5. i think rapid sport is in pepper street ct.up the old lift after they have buzzed you in.
  6. do not have a clue.i have seen people fishing from poles before but this i do not know.any ideas?
  7. oh i forgot when the chorus of a song is on i give it horns and relax again for the rest of the song.
  8. i pod with seether/metallica/ac dc type music.leonard cohen and pink floyd cool but not on the bike.i also count every 4th left cadence pedal and when getting to 100 i look at a knuckle .when all the knuckels are accounted for i have a look outside.
  9. yes carbon is a bad idea.
  10. we cannot make the roads poephol proof.
  11. hope he goes down in flames.no place for scammers in my books.never thought i will say it but thanks google earth streetmaps.
  12. I stopped buying the mag 2 years ago.I used to be a subscriber and did not renew my subscription.Reading Tread and Ride with the odd UK mag when the finances are good.I would rather spend more money on a good mag than less money on something crap.I do not know how to solve the problem , but that does not say that there is no problem.At least they are still doing a bike mag.
  13. had torn acl,multiple meniscus tears and some other goodies after playing soccer with the kids.Today is 8 weeks after the op with harvesting tendons from hamstring.currently doing 45 min a day on the stationery bike as well as some exercises.my advice is to get a good fisio as in my case i believe the rehab after the op is the NB part.had a knee op on the other knee 14 years ago and it took me 16 months and two follow up ops to be where i am now within 8 weeks.I am going back to the surgeon for follow up consultation this friday and will have a better idea as to when I can be on the mtb again.do the fisio exercises.
  14. i run maxiss crossmarks both front and back in the lust tubeless setup.doing majik,contermans,hillcrest routes and touch wood have never had problems with them in 4 years.i use them because they are good value for money and they have never let me down.find a tyre that works for you and then do not scratch where it does not itch.
  15. i do not fly uphills on the mtb.i very often walk.i have found that running helps me to walk faster uphill than some people cycle uphill.at knysna this year i was running some of the uphills with my mtb and still passing some people who was in granny gear.to me crosstraining is a good thing.
  16. try and do trail runs as there is a big difference between pounding tar and running offroad.i have done a few tri's and two ironmans and i got a huge surprise at grabouw x terra on the run.ok it was warm etc , but the run was difficult as i did not do enough offroad running leading up to the event.once you have done xterra it is difficult to hit the tar and the roadbike again.the swim is always a bitch (the start) as it is a free for all.as i am a strong but not fast swimmer i try to start on the side of the bunch as the start in the middle of the fast starters is just too hectic for me.you have to be calm and in good shape when you start the bike section.good luck.
  17. i love it when a plan comes together.well done conrad.
  18. too deep a question for me on a monday.i am still busy going through pictures taken on the mtb the past week or two to think of something that does not interest me in the least.why scratch where it is not itching?
  19. longer is not always better apparently it is technique that counts or so my wife says.sorry i am just in a good mood today.as for the rest of your question ride what you like as long as you ride.
  20. i am sram but logic tells me that a xt setup should not give you this much trouble.i suggest get a second opinion as this does not sound right.
  21. bought a wrong handlebar from them it was exchanged within 2 min of walking into the shop and walking out.ok it took me longer to walk out as I then had to buy some other stuff which I do not need now but might need one day.big thumbs up to chris and his staff.
  22. you are going to fall.my motto is the more i fall the less i hurt.by falling every now and then i have discovered that you are no longer afraid of falling therefore less tense on the bike and therefore tend to fall less.once you have tasted mtb i doubt whether you will call yourself a roadie again.welcome to the weird and wonderfull life that is mtb
  23. some of these girls made me think of some concoction my mom used to give me when i was a child Casterolie?
  24. first my condolences to the family of the deceased.my father summed it up when i was trying out for my drivers licence in Mosselbay 26 years ago.there used to be a shop that sold toys called the novelty shop.as we were driving my father said you must only remember 2 things when it comes to driving a car. 1.regard all other roadusers as fools. 2.a car is not a toy.if you want a toy go to the novelty shop and buy a toy.remember a car can kill you. Sure it might sound simplistic but it has kept me safe for 26 years of driving. I agree that it is not an accident when a speading overloaded unroadworthy vehicle driven by a poephol is involved in an accident,just like i hate it when they say eg a vehicle has overturned.bs it was a poephol doing something stupid as cars do not just fall over. again my condolences.
