since you so unhealthily obsessed with the abilities of others, you best go to Jonkers to see for yourself.

?smiley2.gif until then, feel to free have an opinion. everyone's entitled to one, no matter how wrong it might be smiley1.gif

you remind of those noobs on CSS who are obsessed with KPD. as if that's ever a measure of anything worthwhile..

DHK:wouldn't ?have mattered if I managed to road gap off table mountain. She had a BF. very meh...irrespective.. just giving credit where it's due. She was very good looking. didnt mean i wanted to jump her smiley2.gif pardon the pun.. ?

welcomeback panik. thehub had a massive software glitch that reset all subscriptions. that's why you didnt get any email notifications.

glad your fork is fixed. when we going ?to paarl? I hope there is a shuttle session this coming weekend. Also, why didn't u ride at Jonkers. I reckon you would have podiumed in your category.

btw guys: take a good hard look at LBS hardware prices before shopping off CRC. seems quite a few LBS are willing to go toe2toe with their overseas competition. My recent experience hsa been with Action Cycling, where Marco has been offering some prices, that when compared with total cost in getting it from CRC (taxes + shipping etc), it's just about the same price.

DHK: getting some sun ringle action from Action cycling, MTX 33s. Just need to squirrel away some $$ to get some decent hubs.

talk about hubs, heard some Industry 9 hubs at Jonkers: it was quite different from the Hope hub noise. and VREK loud smiley17.gif

DHK: I havent seenthe track. but spoke with one of the dirtopia dudes that hangs out at Paarl. THey got permission to build from near the gate at the Taal monument. It will have a high speed section that culminates in that massive road gap Panik is referring to, which then flows into a rock garden, and then into a very steep section. sounds very interesting.

 

Btw: if u want some stoke for a 6m double, look at how many heli-lifts they had this year's US Open at the very last double before the finish line. smiley2.gif
