Capricorn Posted January 24, 2010 Share DHK: talking about rubber, you know when that tire is coming? my bike needs new rubber front and back now. I had such a bad snake bite today it ripped my tires as well. like i said in a previous post, it's almost as if someone took a knife to my tire. and in two different places as well. bit bizarre.

Capricorn Posted January 24, 2010 Share murray: best analogy of the conditions at the top section of paarl is when you hit that twisty section just after the stump jumps at DH3. it's like very course sand on a hard clay like base layer. Skid city i tell you. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/47422-the-downhill-thread/page/156/#findComment-937176 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted January 24, 2010 Share well, the front i thought was still in damn good nick, until today. it's FUBAR now me thinks. it has weird cuts in it at two different places. the rear is more like a high roller now: side knobs still good, but the middle treads are shot. your choice really. I dont recommend. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/47422-the-downhill-thread/page/156/#findComment-937195 Share on other sites More sharing options...

your_name_here Posted January 25, 2010 Share Hey All. Yesterday myself and about 8 others spent the day clearing a 100% brand new track in the hills between Tableview and Durbanville. We have gotten permission to build on the land at an old quarry. We cleared the first track but their is loads of work to do in terms of digging berms and jumps. there are a few natural features but lots of work is needed. it's been a loooong time since we have had acces to land to build an all new track. Exiting indeed. Oh and all of you youngsters should be ashamed of yourselves for not helping. Andrew Hill who is 58 came out and helped dig.

louis0852 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Sorry for the late reply cap, ya replaced the whole drive-train, crank, pedals, BB, cassette, chain, derailleur, shifter. Then replaced the stearing system, brand new bar, stem grips, brake levers. And bought tyres for this season, just looking for some maxxis minion DH front and rears in 2.7" that is the 60a compound Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/47422-the-downhill-thread/page/156/#findComment-938435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted January 25, 2010 Share hey hey louis. np man  So what's the spec on your drivetrain now? and your cockpit?Interesting you going for the wider tire. What's the thinking? Only thing i'm doing in terms of tires is running a Minion DHF 3c at the rear. I need some longevity over there.
