  1. It is, I love the bike, rides like a dream - dont like getting shafted though...
  2. anyone out there in the Machining business - here is a definate business oppurtunity... I will be the first to support you
  3. Chain suck twice, I suppose my gears werent set correctly. Fell and broke once the last time, which was now, the thing just disintergrated on the lip which the der adjustment screw pushes against. the problem i have with it is; why is it so expensive, i would buy 10 of them if they were cheap to keep as spares, you can fix it on the trail, so its not a problem. but for something that is designed to break and they know this, why do they put a mark up on it, they shoudlnt be making a profit on something like this. apparently they are out of stock, so it must be a common problem...
  4. I fully understand that hanger must be weaker than the frame, but i have never had a hanger as week as this one..
  5. Does anyone else out there have a Cannondale Flash Carbon 29er 2011? Anyone with opinions on the hangers? i have had to replace mine 5 times in 6 months and the cost is R440.00 for one? how can it be so expensive for something that really doesnt last?? HOw much can it cost to get into the Country, how much is omnico putting as a markup?? frustrated as the bike is amazing, but it is a real weakness that is costing me an arm and a leg...
  6. found this online, how cool is this?
  7. Anyone with a Sani2c entry that would like to swap it for a Wines2Whales entry?
  8. as if the cratercruise isnt tough enough, batch C and D were not correctly marshalled at the start and we got to do an extra 10km, so ended up doing almost 115km in the 42deg heat on saturday - its very dissapointing. bad marshalling and course marking is becoming a real problem lately with MTB races, i cant think of a race i have done lately where a bit of guess work isnt involved in trying to find ones way through the course....
