DownhillingKing Posted February 8, 2010 Author Posted February 8, 2010 oh well I cycle up a little hill and was just about able to lean forward and pedal with my feat vertical still the grip was so great!
dman2 Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Vince has got permission to re-open the track on Mola farm in Somerset West. Apparently the track is still there but needs to be cleared before being ridden. The drop in to the gully' date=' the hip and the step up are all still there. We are going there on Saturday to do some track clearing. Any Volunteers? [/quote'] Can't make this weekend but if you pm me banking details, I could donate a few ronds towards causal labour, beers...
patches Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Hey Cap, did you get that sms with tracking number from me this morning? Here's a pic I took lastnight. I was so tempted to open them and see what they look like on my helmet, but I settled for a pic just next to it, haha! They totally make my Thor's look ghetto! haha!
DownhillingKing Posted February 10, 2010 Author Posted February 10, 2010 Man I need a new helmet! Say patches what you doing with your old one
patches Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Man I need a new helmet! Say patches what you doing with your old one ...sorry DHK' date=' I used a borrowed MX helmet before I got this one [img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley5.gif[/img] But hey! I've noticed that quite a few guys who ride way more competitively than I do, use regular FF bike helmets for parctice, and DOT rated ones for races. ...and there's an MX shop near my house that sells 2nd hand gear. pads, gloves, goggles, and ofcourse helmets. The top MX guys use a helmet called an Airoh (spelling?!) It weighs the same as a Bicycle hemet (around 1kg). This shop has a few 2nd hand ones in at the moment. If you're keen, I can find out a price for you?!
Capricorn Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 dude, i loike your helmet thanks for the SMS and tracking number. Soz i didnt reply. I cant take my mobile onto site.Is that the 661 Comp II? it's dirt cheap on CRC, like just under R700. very tempted to get myself one. it looks the shiz. On a perverted level, i would really like the new TLD D3. that is just one supersick looking helmet. but neck brace first.
DownhillingKing Posted February 10, 2010 Author Posted February 10, 2010 No thanks I'd rather not right now I need a new derailer 1st

I've been stuck behind my desk counting valves, specking NH3 vessels, and prepping budgets. I'd take site over that anyday! haha! As for the helmet... I was going to get the 661 Comp II, but I spent a slight bit more to get the Evolution in Legend White. That's why I spotted those VZ's... the white with gold accents... killer match! haha! Evo's are 45% off at the moment... R720. (darn exchange rate... I paid R740, haha). I've heard that the Evo is not as well vented as the Comp II, but I think it offers better protection. Retail price isn't everything, but the Evo's RRP is nearly twice that of the Comp II, but on CRC you only pay R85 more. Gee Atherton used one at that Redbull race through the Rio shanties in Brazil. (athough guys like that probably get given the Carbon versions, haha) But yeah! I love it! patches2010-02-11 01:08:43
