  1. Whats the easiest way to post gopro videos on youtube? non edited, just quick and simple if there is such a way? Example, if you had a 2 minute clip of a mate binning it in the dirt and you want to post it for him to see?
  2. I care... this is really interesting stuff from a law point of view. How the justice system handles this is going to be ground breaking. Its intriguing....
  3. I think on aluminium rims we generally dont have braking issues. But on carbon rims, braking is never as good. I can imagine pro tour riders decending those hectic Alpine passes would apreciate disc brakes on there carbon wheels. Personally, i like the simplicity of rim brakes. I'm often cursing my mtb brakes when they need bleeding!!!
  4. Pc got plenty power. I did restart, but it only fixed media player, not movie maker?
  5. Mr Awesme.. i think final cut pro is a Mac program..
  6. I downloaded the K lite codec pack.... Windows media player is working, but Windows live movie maker wont open the files?
  7. I'v just got a GoPro 3 Black edition. I'v downloaded a H.264 codec to make Windows media player play the Mpeg4 files.. Perfect.. BUT I cant get the Windows Live movie makers to open the files... and i cant find a codec online? I'm too scared to download another codec incase it spoils the media player one? Has anyone got a link to something that will allow me to edit Gopro videos in Window live movie maker, or is there a better editing software?? Help please, Cheers,
  8. Thanks Wayne... im leaning that way. i'll phone Cape union at Gateway tomorrow and see if theyve got..
  9. So I got a massive luck. My wife bought me a GoPro 3 Silver edition for Xmas. BUT..... I have a dillemer..... She got it from Cape Union Mart... She got the silver, because there is no stock of Black editions?? Question to the guru's? Should i wait for stock of Black edition and upgrade to black?? OR stick with the Silver, cause i seriously want to start playing with it?? I know the tech differences between the two... But is the higher resolution and frame rate really usable for normal sensible everyday shooting?? Advice from the fundi's please... Cheers,
  10. The wave washer is there to keep the "gutter seal" (that red seal) against the bearing. If it isnt there,the seal drifts away from the bearing alowing the bearing to be more exposed to grit and grime. GXP BB's, in my experience are really good, if fitted right. The creaking could be from dry interface between the pressed in bearing and the frame BB shell..... Also, a rule of thumb that i have learnt, whenever you get a creak, first thing to do is take off the wheels and grease the skewers..... you would be amazed at how a creaking skewer reverberates through the bike making you think it is a BB or headset!!!
  11. i stand to be corrected, but the SRAM spider that holds the 38/24 has a 104 / 64 BCD (or even smaller?). The 26 tooth inner has a 80 BCD. so i dont think you will get a 26 to fit that spider. I had the same dilemmer. I bought a new spider complete with 39/26 rings.
  12. I dont see them on the Buycycles site?
  13. Thanks Cippo, im in durban. I will have a look on the Buycycle site. Are you happy with the Mojito? thats the one iv got in mind.
  14. Where are KASK helmets available in SA or KZN? Does nyone know?
  15. If i were in a car where you took that pic, i would rather have to pass them riding as they are, then pass them riding single file. As they are, you have a quick 5 - 10 meter pass. If they were in single file, you would have to expose yourself to the other lane for at least 50+ meters....
  16. i had a look on the Rockshox website and cant really work out the main difference between the SID and REBA family of forks? I can see that they do Some carbon crown SID's.... but is there any real mechanical difference? It seems to me that the best fork for your money is REBA RLT? can anyone advise me differently? Thanks,
  17. Specialized stock availability in SA is a joke.......
  18. Yes...
  19. as of now Lauren has 75% of votes
  20. I'v seen nothing in the media myself, but it must have been on Sky news, as my housewife sister just messaged me about it?
  21. NBS....(new bike syndrome)
  22. lack of Specialized Stock availability has forced me to move on and away from this brand. Turns out, it's been a good exercise!! I used to think all spez stuff was worlds ahead. Don't get me wrong, it is good stuff... But loving my maxxis icons, sidi shoes, giro gloves".... And loving that I can walk into lbs and buy off the shelf!!! Instead of pre ordering 4 months in advance...... And never getting the call to say stock has arrived...... And when you chase them they say." oh ya... The stock came in, but sold straight away"....
  23. Apparently Cortisone and testosterone.....
  24. Agreed... but, he might have had a runny stomach that he was embarised about
  25. Its fine to run XX.... but like the others say, run sram 1070 chains and cassettes... Likewise with Simano, its cool to have XTR, but run XT chains and cassettes...
