  1. My experience with crossmarks are good. Have been riding them front and back since 26 bikes. Always tubeless. When the new crossmarks came out I was advised by LBS not to use Stans. Just got myself a new pair of old crossmarks filled up with stans and no issues as I still had litre or 2 of stans left.
  2. Most definitely false advertising. Although this will not help you it is obvious that most and all here feel that these 2 individuals are boxes. I hope that this comes back to bite them in the behind. On the one hand I feel to say take them to small claims court, but in reality I think that is not the best way to go. I hope the sellor and his wife reads this thread and will sort of understand that they handled this like boxes, but I doubt it. I for one will never ever do any business with either of them.
  3. I would rather be old school with maxiss crossmarks and half a liter of sealant than getting stuck with tyre issues. I am not a pro at all but know my limitations.
  4. what the other knowledgeable people said.I use a wahoo strap with my garmin as I got gatvol for garmin straps.
  5. Do I understand it correctly that he was released on warning and not on bail?
  6. Does anyone know whether Challenge Cape Town will take place again this year. They cancelled last year's race quite early and since then I have not heard anything about the race.

  10. Any idea as to where to read what he is saying?
  11. marius and luther van der mescht at Monties can also assist.
  12. to track your fitness levels i found that the best is to invest in a hr monitor and have the different zones correctly set up.if the zones are wrong you can go and ride with a casio stopwatch as it will tell you the same. if you can cover the same distance under similar conditions with less effort you are improving.it takes time however as the adaptations take about 8 weeks. i use training peaks and garmin connect to track.
  13. thank you for taking the time to share your experiences. Hope you enjoyed the beautiful scenery of my country.
  14. First ask or even better leave some stickers at the counter for free.If I am happy with the service I will take one and give you free advertising, but otherwise no dont plak things on my bike.
  15. I drag my heavy ass around contermans every now and again just to have some wortelkoek.

  22. i am going to need some new tyres shortly.I have always ridden maxiss crossmark tyres filled with stans with no problems.I see cwc advertising crossmarks for 399 , but when reading description i see there is a sidenote that they will not honour warranty if filled with stans(amonia?).Is this something new that has changed with newer crossmarks or have I just been lucky so far?.Any idea as to what problems i might expect if going the crossmark stans route?
