Zaskar09 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Haven't you heard of the "cycling expenditure quotient"? The rule that dictates that the disclosed price is 1/3rd of the actual price you paid for it... That would have worked if she wasn't into cycling, unfortunately/fortunately (?) she is, so she knows what stuff costs. It's all my fault actually, I'm the one that miraculously turned cycling into "quality time" (If you want to know how just by my e-book: "How to take the fun out of cycling"). All jokes aside, the woman is absolutely fearless and manages to do on a R5k hardtail what normal people do on a R30k full suss, which explains why she doesn't condone "upgrades". Apparently, "it's not about the bike". Couldn't ask for a better riding partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 29, 2011 Share ROFL! But, my dear Sir, it IS about the brakes! It's amazing what a difference even a small change can make to their performance. And if it's not working, fix it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaskar09 Posted August 29, 2011 Share I just realised that if it's not about the bike it's definately not about the paintjob either. Will probably go for the SLX, the juicy's are still working (I have become quite an adept at fixing them), it's just the level of maintenance that's getting to me.

Zaskar09 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Lucky man. I'm willing to swop her for a set of SLX brakes if your keen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
