  1. Nope they too busy laughing at the off-roaders fighting about wheel size.
  2. The thing with sinkplaat is it makes you tired...its relentless and doesnt stop...its isn't big bumps or drops...but thousands of little ones....the big drops, rocks and what have you are a breeze because they are not continuous. People often think those are the ones that will hurt the most, but they are nothing....its sinkplaat that will kill you on a rigid. Oh and for the rear....easy one to solve. Built in material suspension...aka steel. Again no pivot servicing and just enough "travel" or lets rather say compliance to take the edge off the bumpy stuff.....all you need
  3. whahahhaha ja. Kom ons se net ek sal nooit die crater cruise met my rigid doen nie.
  4. Yip they are quite popular so you will be able to offload if its not for you... I also prefer it because of the acceleration it assists...making the bike overall lighter as well as having no give when you hammer down from standstill is very lekker in very tight stuff. DJ84 actually sums the harshness up...it fatigues you on long district corrugations...
  5. Also here is some tips on making the rigid front a little less harsh ESI Extra chunky grips....must have Big volume tyres...if you can and frame allows 2.4...
  6. Jcmeyer built his geared niner with a rigid fork and yes its super light. Yes it helps alot on the hills especially but also on some tech bits believe it or not....because your front is so much lighter you can lift the front easily over obstacles and also navigation feels more precise. You also dont have any maintenance issues...the fork will always just work like it should. Also because there is ZERO give(even lockouts move a little on suspension forks) all your energy is transferred into forward power. Here is the catch...it is harsher than if you had a suspension fork, no doubt. It is something to get used to but it happens quite quickly to be honest. You will have to choose lines more carefully but again, this will happen quickly since its must. I say go for it. My SS is setup this way and its my favourite bike, if I had money to change my geared bike to a rigid, I will do so...long term plan of mine.
  7. Agree Pictures or they dont exist...
  8. Nice thing about ergo trainers is that if you set a target wattage...lets say 220 watts...it will adjust the resistance to accomodate your cadence fluctuations
  9. Cool....just thought I would share what I saw....
  10. They still trading...stopped for a coffee at the europa next to it on our Saturday ride. Not busy though
  11. Will 40mm more make you 3min gap legend....NO Will 80mm featherweight, tupperware make you sit on Nino's wheel....NO Buy what you will ride the most, can afford to purchase AND maintain. Then pull the trigger on the one with the nicest colour scheme Easy.
  12. Wahahhaha remember to type in special font when you making a joke.
  13. ah that it should do...well the ipad does...under settings you just toggle which 3rd party tools to sync to(trainingpeaks and strava in my case) and boom, they upload to the cloud as soon as you finished your workout
  14. I wouldnt mind pitt and farrel....reckon they can do the edgy, psychologically moertoe cops. Roll on season two. I won't lie, the kids angle was quite disturbing even more so with the fact that I have a little girl. Made my stomache churn in couple of the scenes.
  15. mmmm when you say link...am I right in saying you want to shoot the lights out ito cross functionality ie. Purchase a program on training peaks and it then sync's between that and virtual training where you ergo trainer will then automatically adjust its resistance based on the interval session you doing I don't think so at the moment, although the ability and appetite is there. I upload to training peaks currently via the virtual training app, but in reverse....haibo At the moment you will have to go into virtual training and manually create these workouts like you would for sufferfest vids so the ergo will kick in and resistance will force you to sit at X Y or Z watts.
  16. yea....heard season two have different leads...in a way the two fed of each other's brilliance. Wonder who the new okes will be. That spaghetti monster still gives me the heebie jeebies. I will bekak myself if I had to run into him on a solo ride in the woods.

  23. Overheard in brakpan a few weeks ago. "Al vra hulle R1000 vir n bottle brannewyn...dis nog steeds n bargain."
  24. I can dig that.... Ignore what I said....this is the answer.
