when there's more than 1 rider involved... it's a race! Especially when there's people wearing their tightie-pants!

Enough racism. Rather tell me what headset to get for the Mbuzi biggrin.png

 

Chris King if you're feeling rich and want something to hand down to your children as a family heirloom.

 

Hope if you want quality and their super awesome split corwn races that one can install by hand.

 

PS. there's a reason that the famous Angle-set is made by Cane Creeeek. Man those things make an awful noise!

Hope it is then. The 1.5" step-down version.

Will be nice if the last ride leaves at 6..traffic is a pain that time off the day especially if u in a rush..will also be nice to do a bit more riding in the dark...

Agreed, we were riding round and round waiting for it to get dark before hitting the hills in Alberts and the night time section is the best!

I have the bottom section of a 1.5 inset Chris King that would not fit my Pyga if its any use to you.

Not to me directly but I think I might have somebody that will benefit from it.

 

Was it too small?

No, it is a sealed bearing in a press fit cup and the Pyga took a drop in bearing! The bottom section of the head tube needs to be big enough to take the press fit cup which has the 1.5 bearing in it, hence is bigger than 1.5"!

Shane and I tried to move that branch last night but just too heavy! Need someone with a chain saw to help us out.

I sometime see riders with spades and saws strapped to the Camelbaks. Spruit fairies. ;)

Well Jo'anna she runs a country

She runs in Durban and the Transvaal

She makes a few of her people happy, oh

She don't care about the rest at all

She's got a system they call apartheid

It keeps a brother in a subjection

But maybe pressure can make Jo'anna see

How everybody could a live as one

 

[chorus:]

Gimme hope, Jo'anna

Hope, Jo'anna

Gimme hope, Jo'anna

'Fore the morning come

Gimme hope, Jo'anna

Hope, Jo'anna

Hope before the morning come

 

I hear she make all the golden money

To buy new weapons, any shape of guns

While every mother in black Soweto fears

The killing of another son

Sneakin' across all the neighbours' borders

Now and again having little fun

She doesn't care if the fun and games she play

Is dang'rous to ev'ryone

 

[chorus]

 

She's got supporters in high up places

Who turn their heads to the city sun

Jo'anna give them the fancy money

Oh to tempt anyone who'd come

She even knows how to swing opinion

In every magazine and the journals

For every bad move that this Jo'anna makes

They got a good explanation

 

[chorus]

 

Even the preacher who works for Jesus

The Archbishop who's a peaceful man

Together say that the freedom fighters

Will overcome the very strong

I wanna know if you're blind Jo'anna

If you wanna hear the sound of drums

Can't you see that the tide is turning

Oh don't make me wait till the morning come

 

[chorus]
