dave303e Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 bike racks need somewhere to be bolted on. Plus so many people think it will save their car in an accident. Sure in a minor bumper bashing, bu anything slightly bigger and you run the risk of chassis damage You don't need a tow hitch, hatch back racks are fine... Re the accident thing, got to love engineers building specific crumple zones and then us going screw that and adding a tow bar to counter it. On this note spare tyre note-Run Flat tyres, no no no nope never not a f***, if you ever see a car with runflat tyres in SA laugh at the owner and buy him a beer because his beer money most likely goes to buying new tyres once a month. Been there, done that, sold the T-shirt to pay for 4k a pop runflats after they bubbled because of dirt roads. Lets just say if I had never owned a car with runflat tyres, I would have the better part of 30k lying around...
Tuxstir Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Not so much a problem now, thank goodness for brake tech evolving, but backpedal brake on one of my childhood bikes. How many times I had to jump off or drive(crash) into something just to stop when flying down a steep tar road when the chain comes off.Funny enough i STILL have a coaster brake hub fitted to one of my bikes.. but Never had a chain slip off....(I don't think its the design of the hub in question here)
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 But MYLES! You can't have the aftermarket subs without some aftermarket wheels! Standard CT caddy stuff this...HAHAHAHA! I need to change the tyres soon, anyway. It's got a set of absolute and utter SHAITE conti world contacts on atm. Fokkol grip, extremely vague steering feel and just... ***.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Those look real good. Just please don't make like a welkomite and lower it....No thanks. I want to go places where clearance is required. Not 4x4 access, but off the beaten track. No ways the one in the pic would have made it down to and out of beaverlac....

Fokkol grip, extremely vague steering feel and just... ***. Those rims look too wide for the tires and why is the back suspension so low? Is it heavily loaded?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Those rims look too wide for the tires and why is the back suspension so low? Is it heavily loaded?That's 'cos they are. It's a moronic thing that some of the "modders" are doing now. Stretch fitting. Essentially taking a 175 and fitting it to an 8j / 10j wheel, so that the sidewalls fan out and it looks like an oversized bowls ball thing. MORONIC. And no, it's cos it's been lowered, and the bump stops have probably been taken out / reduced in size.

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 I'm actually looking for some decent sized steel wheels for my caddy... got some absolute shaite mags on at the moment. Prefer the look of the standard steelies to be honest... I put 17inch Scirocco mags on my Caddy, ruined the ride!!!!I do however have the original 15inch rims if you are interested. Regularly ship things between our Pretoria/Durban/Cape Town offices so shipping wouldn't be an issue........PM if interested.

Long Wheel Base Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Land Rovers with 'one life live it' stickers... Soft tails that only have space for one bottle cage... All mtb forks Teachers that give homework- you are allocated X hours per week to do your work, make it happen, I don't do half my job and then send the client home to do the rest every night, kids need afternoons to be kids... Roundabouts/circles where the number of lanes for the entrances and exits differ and the lack of education for people as to use them... Mercator Maps... Web Mercator projection... Most shopping center parking bays, no we don't all drive small cars... Ok I will control my hands again, they just realized it is FridayWhats a soft tail?
fanievb Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 mag wheels on any car low profile mags on a bakkie (mostly black navara's with GP plates) edit: I see the Mot beat me to it
Grebel Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Whats a soft tail? It's what you get when you don't ride your bike enough...
