  1. Seems to be a common problem. Also noticed this after having the bike serviced. Sucks, but the damaged is already done.
  2. Anyone know the price of the new Santa Cruz Bronson (Alu) R build in South Africa? Can’t seem to find any pricing.
  3. Are there any shops in SA that stock the Giro Swichblade helmets? From the official site, Omnico is listed as the distributor. I enquired from them but the reply was to get from overseas. Great
  4. Came across this page with micro adventures around Cape Town. Anybody else doing something similar in Western Cape? http://www.bicyclecapetown.org/microadventures/ and the concept of MicroAdventures..
  5. Awesome! That explains it very well, THANK YOU Capricorn!
  6. Phoned around Pta & Jhb, seems like no one stock these Magic Mary super gravity tires? Need one for the Dustin Rudman event this weekend. Would a Maxxis Minion DHR II also do the trick?
  7. Had about 4 punctures/slashes on my rear Schwalbe Hans Dampf Performance 27.5 tyre, mostly from hitting rocks. Any suggestions for a rear tyre that is willing to take a beating and more reliable? Was thinking one of these?
  8. Got a puncture on my rear tyre (Schwalbe Hans Dampf, Performance, 27.5x2.35, Front & Rear) after some beating on the rocks at Helderkruin over the weekend. It's right on the sidewall where the tyre meets the rim. I tried to plug it but the Stans just keeps pissing out. Is it a write off? What should be a good replacement? Something with a bit harder compound / sidewalls? Mainly enduro and Hakahana abuse they go through. Any ideas / suggestions?
  9. Is the Giro Switchblade available anywhere in SA and what is the suggested retail price?
  10. that Trek looks hot!
  11. Anyone been to Faerie Glen Nature Reserve recently? I see on their site they are open from 6am-6pm. Do you need to be out of the reserve by 6pm (do they close the gates) ?? Want to go for a after work run there...
  12. I just received a new bike. My front brakes are very snappy but the rear brakes I need to compress quite hard on the brake lever to stop. It is shimano hydraulic brakes. How do I adjust so that the brake lever "tension" is more responsive?
  13. Anybody know where in Pretoria I can buy a Marsh Guard? http://www.bike-discount.de/media/org/orgb_M/orgid_456/thumbs/108625_1499147.jpg
