T-Bob Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) so where is your new ride's review tchjina?!?!? Fark... I thought I'd posted something. Apparently it was just in my mind while out riding and thinking about first impressions. Darn I came up with some scribe quality work in that review. Just never actually wrote it down. Duh. Had a few rides now and actually have some views on the frame, the geo and how it all fits together in terms of what I was planning when I started buying bits and how it ended up.

pista Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Picked these up this morning! Spank Oozy Trail 345 29er rims 30mm internal diameter laced to Hope Pro 4 Boost Hubs with WTB Weirwolf and Vigilante tyres. So chuffed with this wheelset. Big thanks to the guys at Trailwolf for putting this together for me! 20170124_134444.pngThose wheels look great!
BaGearA Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Technically only the wheels are new , but I'lll take any chance to show off this bike ....I mean just look at it. Andrew_Smith, Beesrib, henningvr and 17 others 20
popcorn_skollie Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Sometimes new toys are big, and sometimes they're "end-of-the-month-salticrax" but still tasty..._20170120_073641.JPG Sometimes small purchases like these is all you need to get some new stuff stoke. I bought a pair like these a while back. http://pds.exblog.jp/pds/1/201005/16/52/e0132852_1442989.jpg It might seem like unnecessary bling nobody will even notice. But every time I check the pressures its almost rewarding how satisfyingly well they screw on and off. Those stock black plastic valve caps really are useless.They never really screw on tight enough. And the threads ruin so quickly eventually they just pop off with a generous tug. I have another equally satisfying small purchase.Self locking chain ring bolts like these. Some are torx others are allen. http://www.cyclingtechnology.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/b/o/bolts.jpg But it means that I wont have to use a slipping butter knife when using bolts like these. http://www.jensonusa.com/images/Color-Image/Zoom/5/G00012TK.jpg Suidwes Boytjie, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Andrew_Smith and 3 others 6
Grease_Monkey Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Those wheels look great!Would've loved to have the hubs in red, but none available in boost and XD driver body... but turned out mooi!

mon-goose Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 ok a bit late but my latest purchase was one of these at the end of December http://www.blusmooth.com/mk1-open-water-wetsuit.aspx
DJR Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 One of my suppliers gave me a lovely gift voucher for Olympic Cycles.........and I treated myself to some blue & shiny! Once again, proof that I do not have "everything to do with cycling" like my wife claims. Now Gedore can work on the Landy and Park Tool on the bikes!

Grebel Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Telkom promised me mine would be here on the 17th , still waiting Telkom promise a lot of things but seldom deliver... I stuck with them for a long time. Recently switched to Afrihost. Double the line speed (20Mbs and 4 times the data (400Gb) for R100 a month less So this is my latest purchase: Capricorn, Hairy, Andrew_Smith and 1 other 4

Double the line speed (20Mbs and 4 times the data (400Gb) for R100 a month less So this is my latest purchase: Basically on a similar package as you with Vox. 20mb VDSL + 200GB w/ monthly rollover (meaning unused data stacks up).We currently have just under 500GB for the month and we are paying R599pm.

Best thing. Ours is R725 if I recall also with a rollover. Problem is that I am so used to "managing the data" that we are still using it like that. I think my package might be a bit excessive but I no longer have any data issues... Will see how it goes and adjust accordingly if required. Great thin is that you can change your package as your requirements change
