amasendeinja Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Bought the May issue of WMB - for the standard unholy rip-off fee of R120, splutter, cough, wheeze - mainly due to an article called "50 products that changed mountain biking". In the same article they had a timeline also mentioning top achievements in MTB racing; Paola Pezzo's Olympic Golds in 1996 and again in 2000 being among them. I forgot just how good she looked on (and off) her bike!!
CAAD4 Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 So other than the fine looking ms Pezzo, what other 49 things changed mountain biking?
amasendeinja Posted May 31, 2011 Author Posted May 31, 2011 So other than the fine looking ms Pezzo, what other 49 things changed mountain biking? It's 50 things, I sure as hell am not typing them up! Here's a few: Starting with the first Kelly/Fisher MTB in '79, Cunningham's 1st heat treated Al frames in the mid '80s, Oakley eyeshades (those things that looked like a skimask), Shimano indexed gearing mid '80s, the first "multitool" the Colltool in '89, Camelbak in '89, Rockshox Mag 20 first really tunable fork in the early '90s, etc. Right up to ODI lock-on grips in early '00s, Progressive's 5th Element shock as the first platform shock and last, but certainly not least SRAM's XX in 2009. If you want the rest, buy the mag...

Wyatt Earp Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 She was odd looking for an Italian chick.She looked at her best in her Gary Fisher gear, and Ok'ish in her Specialized gear, also in the 2000 games there was the controversial crash between her and Fullana which put Blatter in silver and Fullana in the bronze, to this day it will be argued that she did not deserve the gold medal on the day.

amasendeinja Posted May 31, 2011 Author Posted May 31, 2011 Goeie ou dae Where did you buy the mag? ANC... er sorry that was voting, I mean CNA Grudge buy, no matter how good the content looks! R120 for a mag that costs £4.20 in the UK is insane (I do take pills for it ). Consider further that the June issue is on the UK shelves on 5 May already, but the May issue only gets onto the shelves in the CNA by around mid to 3rd week in May. So I figure that the bastards who import them buy the old stock from the previous month from the UK publishing house - probably for £1.20, multiply by 100 and sell it here, so idiots like me will (sometimes) take the plunge! Scum I say.
