Grebel Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 I'm not sure if any Hubbers that were at The World Cup that noticed an exhibition stand selling bicycle tools, if so what was the brand name. I've tried looking at the official website and there is no info there about a list of exhibitors or stands which is pretty rubbish to say the least. I can't look at my program cause the missus took my copy. Please Help Just had a look and there wasn't a list of exhibitors in the program.
Caerus Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Just had a look and there wasn't a list of exhibitors in the program. Doh, guess I wll have to call them tomorrow. Seems strange that they don't have a list of them, online at the very least. Did you see the stand I am enquiring about? The tools looked like they were very good quality and just wanted to find out some more.

I arrived late and made my way straight up the mountain. After walking down during the runs, I had to leave early due to a prior commitment so I didn't have a chance to browse. Try sending Clint from Powasol a PM. He had a stand there at the entrance so he might either know or he can speak to somebody to find out for you.

Tumbleweed Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Just texted the organisers and they are called Unior Tools, They look very good quality I saw that stand, and remembed that MBUK did a feature on the compnay about three or four issues ago. Apparently the company has a decent pedigree in terms of the tools it supplies for other industires.

Yeah, they have been around in Europe since 1916 or something, have read good reviews on the tools, they rate them better then Park Tool and a bit more expensive.

Caerus Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 WOW!!!!!!!!! What a week that was .... im still in awe of how well that went off!Thanks to all of you who made the journey to come and watch. Awesome work, well done Can't wait for next year already. I was gonna come say howzit, but you were running around like a madman
nigelhicks Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 I was gonna come say howzit, but you were running around like a madman hahahaha ya thats an UNDERSTATEMENT! ... hahaha - walked the track on Sunday morning before practice to make sure everything was ok ... (just some broken tape problems), but then rolled down after practice before Finals and there was a HUGE hole in the berm before the Bombhole ... so had to fly back up and get it fixed. Otherwise the track held up superbly .... was so stoked!
CAAD4 Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Well done on the superb course Nigel. A dream ending too. Are their just World Champs in August next year?
nigelhicks Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Are their just World Champs in August next year? Yes ... if a venue hosts the World CHAMPS there is no world CUP round at that venue for that year. So Roll on August 2013!
Stretch Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 hahahaha ya thats an UNDERSTATEMENT! ha ha we were chilling at cloud 9 waiting for the girls to come down - then we saw some mad dude (aka nigelhicks) stop at the top, have squizz, and then bomb down
nigelhicks Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 hahahaha ... you should have shouted at me! I'd have stopped for a quick beer.You gotta love trying to ride down a world cup course with a HUGE roll of tape and a 4 pound hammer in your rucksac and then having to hit most of the big lines as well. hahaha
Capricorn Posted March 22, 2012 Author Posted March 22, 2012 Congrats Nige: u did a fantastic job and changing a large percentage of rider perceptions about the track. Speaks volumes about your efforts. I reckon ZA is the benchmark track for world cup level fitness. If u can hack it here: you've got your fitness ready for the rest of the season.
