  4. howzit guys So your mtb wheel as it stands ready to ride on on your bike consists of? And if you were to have a buckled rim and were upgrading your rims cause you cant just get one you would need to change? Would the hubs and what ever else they consist of be affected by rim? Can these be interchangeable? Have XT hubs which been told are pretty good so can i keep those and out them into new rims, or do rims come with these? Whats the build up and how hard is it to get all together?
  5. if only you did this in durbs!! or there was someone that did....
  6. wow looks nice congrats on coming over to the real side of cycling, may you never wanna go back, but sweet bike man!!
  7. okay ya, not saying they could have forseen it, but warned us of them being aroud they sure could have!!
  8. haha not much diff you gonna see in a pic im afraid, as i said its not terribly bad, and just annoying that its now gonna set me back more when im not even getting to upgrade to anything in the process.. Before the race they warned us of a few small buck that might be around etc, but never said a word there might be 4 massive wildebeest charging up one of the most narrow section of single track..
  9. Howzit guys So 2 weeks ago did the lake eland super classic, which was am awesome race except for being full on charged on a nice fast flowing section of tight single track with no where to go but bush either side from 4 big wildebeest running up the track. So all 4 of us in a line tried our best to get out the way, fron guy not being so succesful with i think all 4 maybe standing on his rim, spokes bust and tyre popped along with buckled rim, that was him done. i got out the way only enough for the last fat running wildebeest to manage to stand on my back rim on his way past, i wouldnt say its terrible, fifinshed the race, but the whole wheel has a nice wobble to it and just doesnt feel or look great in my opinion. I dont think anything else on the bike was affected other then the rim, but it is slightly buckled or lob sided now and even the main disc is now not running exactly straight through the pads from it. Can this rim be fixed somehow? any chance of it being the same? Do i have to replace rim? Oh rims are alex xcr100d white light wheels if that makes a diff? Shot guys

  20. I've blindly bought a fork from a guy from Knysna with only a hand full of posts. When I got the product is was not not in the condition as he described. It bas 10X better and afterwards I almost felt bad for actually negotiating a better price. And he went out of his way to get it to me. Sometimes you just have to trust your gut. Awesome story mampara!! for the new guys...
  21. But hold on... what about new okes like me i dont have many posts and rather new to mtbing and all the equip that goes with it, but would never rob a fellow hubber or anybody for that matter.. Iv already spent a good R22k over here, R20k in one transaction on my new baby(which was from a rookie with only 15 or so posts) but ya chatted about it emailed, saw photos and was happy and all ended well!
  22. Thanks for the advice
  23. see now if i had 3 flats in 45k's think id kick the bike and walk to finish.. my rims are all set up properly but still deflates after about 3 days back to fairly flat without pumping.. but do love the tread and handling on nobby nics..
