krl747 Posted August 10, 2012 Share I am looking for a bike for my gardener. He only uses his Bicycle (Dikwiel) to go to the Saturday afternoon piss up and back to my place. I want something reliable that will last when he crashes in a drunken state at 30km/h, falling asleep at the "cockpit". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showtime Posted August 10, 2012 Share Ag nee OP you must be joking with this new offer. Here is some advice for you. Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - CS Lewis Our sport is a simple one.

"Our sport is a simple one": That is what makes mountain biking such an enjoyable sport - it requires the skillful use of technology that many participants are not even thinking about. Like, apart from the difference in price, what makes a carbon fiber bike different from an aluminium composite one, or is their a reason why one should rather consider a dual suspension than a hard tail? Talking about dual suspension, what differentiate single pivot from 4-bar linkage and when does which one work better? Talking carbon, is it important to understand the difference in the quality of carbon used by manufacturers - why is one frame more expensive than another, and what makes one type better than another. Or do I just trust the sales person and be guided by the price. O ja, then there is 3x9, 3x10, 2x10 and each with different gear ratios, or is internal gearing not better? These are just a few pointers emphasizing that our sport is a simple one ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the same with advice from your doctor to keep you healthy and fit, but unfortunately the better the advice the more you pay for it! Why, because that doctor has spent a substantial amount of his time to study to give his patients scientifically validated advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cav' Posted August 12, 2012 Share @ the OP please explain wtf is going on. You offer a service to choose the right bike for R395 and then you ask the hub which bike you should choose. Or am i missing something? TopFuel and DR ◣◢ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enticement Posted August 12, 2012 Share @ the OP please explain wtf is going on.You offer a service to choose the right bike for R395 and then you ask the hub which bike you should choose. Or am i missing something? You're missing something! There is VERY little empirical guidance on how to select the right bike. The "I" in "... what bike should I buy ..." refers to the person reading the heading of the post - it requires some creative reading . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted August 12, 2012 Share This is a load of bollocks!Hahaha You don't need software or a degree to know what good quality is and thats all that matters in a bike . The only advice people should pay for is a professional bike fitting/setup because even an entry level bike feels awesome if its correctly setup for your body/riding style Common sense and the great people of thehub will be more helpful than your software.Ask any one!!!!
