Capricorn Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Jrussel: pm me your email address, then I can send u pics. Also, empty your inbox. plskthx
Guest OldFlow Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Hey MT! Awesome quality pics. Think we'll make you official photographer! I'm fortunate to ride with some awesome laid-back guys but we never get to "see ourselves in action", so we'd really appreciate if you would forward the rest of the pics to us. I'm the guy on the Enduro, Jevan was on the Diesel and Werner is the fit bastard on the Reign. jrussel - thanks for the nice words! Last week I was with Werner and Donovan, both on their Reigns.... We're not really downhillers, more all-mountain/freeride boys who like to "earn our turns" by sweating the hills too.... We're cheats - we're all running double chainrings with bashguards up front. See you on the mountain soon & hope that eye is doing better! Jack is welcome to join us for sessioning some jumps, corners, whatever - we all learn together hey....

Did this Werner ride a Green Morewood with Zebra/Tiger stripes and has a friend that rode a Kona Stab ?
Brad@TheRiot Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 The derailleur 105 what that? sounds like somthing off a road bike Indeed, it's a road derailleur. It came on the bike. Guys use them because they're short cage. Most MTB derailleurs that are available locally are long cage, sometimes medium cage. In terms of Shimano, before shadow derailleur came about, a road derailleur would have worked as well as an older mtb short cage derailleur. As I said, got Saint shifter and derailleur on the way. No more sh*t.
Capricorn Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 curious brad: your perceptions of the delta between SRAM and Saints on the drive train?

Pappa Bear Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Hi Guys, Do any of you know what happened to the DH track at Gilooleys in JHB? Where can we ride DH in Gauteng other than Helderkruin, Klapperkop? Cheers!

I've uploaded the rest on to flickr. Just click my sig - see the Tokai set - click all sizes to see higher res (800x500). My bandwidth's a bit low so hope these will do for now. The full res orig ones are huge. Just let me know when you're in Tokai and I'll burn a CD or summing.

DownhillingKing Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 I have a 105 that doesn't have a bike to go on is it worth trying it out or is it just a waste of time
ratherberidin' Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 worthit,, in my opinion the road deraileurs work like a bomb,,, havnt had any hassles with mine yet..
jrussell Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 The Scott Nitrous Upgrade: phase 1 complete (crank, BB, bash guard and shift guide)
jrussell Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 haha thanks phase 2 is a bigger fork (Marzo ) and a front 20mm hub, (Hopefully soon) and then 3 is new derailer's, shifters, re-spray.....and a new seat (next year or as things break, depending on much cash flow)
Brad@TheRiot Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 I have a 105 that doesn't have a bike to go on is it worth trying it out or is it just a waste of time What are you currently running?
