  1. howzit iron - do the race king protection have extra "protection" as such then a normal non ust tyre? Thats a big weight saving and worth thinking about for sure, shot
  2. Howzit Guys, Finally upgraded my wheelset to the new american classic set Now that i have a proper ust set of rims i want to set new tyres and unsure of which to fit - conti race kings? Crossmark combo? Geax - which? Spec 2bliss - are these really tubeless and as good a UST tyre as the conti's or others? Cant handle punctures but want a reliable lightweight wheelset oh and they 26inch tyres
  3. haha okay i see, wondered if i was missing something - so your plain black wheelset - what did they set yo back? Want to build a set the same except plain white
  4. Stickers removed because? what would this cost you?
  5. what would these end up costing you off CRC? sure postage would be free and would you pay much tax or any other fees?
  6. so you reckon stay clear of the cobalts? they look so hot though!! but want a long lasting set of wheels
  7. yeah apologies agent Hope you get your back sorted and we both get more riding time in before hand. Thinking im trying the 60km, chat later man
  8. Howzit Caerus, straight back at you man, hows things? A im too well at the moment, not spending enough hours, well any hours on the bike at the mo but well! Works getting all of me at the mo man, yourself? Check you at karkloof? Staying over for the weekend? shweet
  9. You couldnt be more right!! awesome awesome riding to be had there one bit of advice, when flying down some single track on your own mission - be careful and be aware of a possibility of a few charging wildebeest
  10. ya equates more to the protection of the conti's range
  11. interesting posting here guys, my crossmarks are running smooth and looking at getting two more, anybody know the weight of them? Iv never had any problems with them and sure they lighter then your race king 700grams..
  12. True on the multiple distance im putting off doing my spokes but will have to in the near future aswel! problem is those game specials arent as cheap as they used to be either!!
  13. You lucky to have a connection there man, iv got 17's and really feel the pinch like now when i need 4 more
  14. Dude what car tyres you fitting at less then R500? Shoppig around at the moment and cant get anything other then chinese cr*p for less then R850 a shot
  15. feeling the pinch of mtbing now after bikes just been in for full service and shock service, second ride after rear freewheel goes but the fun on a mtb riding anywhere except the tar - can never be compared to riding on skinny little tyres on the road!!
  16. the way i see it is the gear ratios you experience rubbing in are ratios you shouldnt necessarily be in at any time at once key to remember is to always try your hardest and shift to keep your chain running as straight in a line as possible - that way your chain, and cassette is being worn the least aswell
  17. id go with option A, although for alot of tar riding - maybe look at the crossmarks front and back or crossmark back with the monorial upfront
  18. congrats on a great job done meneer, hope your nearby if mine ever gets nipped - touch wood
  19. ask the oke to stop, and if you could have a look at his ride, im sure you can tell quick enough if its his or not from his reaction. if he seems to know nothing about the bike knock the sh:)t out of him, hold the bike and him till the cops arrive
