jrussell Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 cool no problem anyway i gotta go, ill see all you okes in two weeks time! im off to the cedarberg tomorrow at 5....Happy riding!
DownhillingKing Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 Hey any of you guys got any tyres you don't want that you can sell to me for cheap?
DownhillingKing Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 Capricorn will you be hitting tokai again this weekend? I want to go down and try out my Giant.
Capricorn Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 ok, reset my sag, and the other settings. Will give it a try tomorrow. also, I think the Murray bob looked uneven cos i think he was using the rear brake. It's a long travel bike, so if the rear is compressed without locking the front, the front will just roll not resulting in the fork compressing along with the rear. Engaging the front brake instead results in both shock and fork compressing in tandem if u bounce around on your seat.
Capricorn Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Hey any of you guys got any tyres you don't want that you can sell to me for cheap?gaah!! i actual gave away my high rollers the other day. no sidewall damage, no punctures, still a lot of tread left. oi. Jason: you can fit the hub yourself. It doesnt require special tools. If you can fit a headset, then this will be a cinch.
Capricorn Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 DHK: not sure if I will be able to make it on saturday. maybe the afternoon only. But sunday is outta the question cos of the unicycle DH world champs. Going to Paarl on sunday instead, hopefully hook up with that dude on the hardtail we were talking to on Sun. Apparently, there are two or three routes. All fairly quick runs. will be interesting. probably gonna crash like a mofo
DownhillingKing Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 You gave away your tyres to who???
Capricorn Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 some random dude who saw it lying on my porch. i left it there after i came back from the LBS, but forgot to take it inside. I got a sudden case of severe laziness when he asked if he could take it for his bike. I shrugged and said yes When u going to tokai DHK??
DownhillingKing Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 As soon as I work out how to fit my bike in a fiat panda. This weekend I hope but I'am not allowed to go unless I got with someone
Capricorn Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 get a bike rack. Well, if can only manage sat afternoon. let me know. I will try to make my way out there. Need to get more saddle time, and more importantly, need to figure this damn front wheel washing out story. Had a damn sketchy moment today. really thought i was about to have serious washout. Clock was sitting at 50-odd kph. would not have been funny...
DownhillingKing Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 Ja well I'am hoping to head down there after work at 2:00
your_name_here Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 DHK: not sure if I will be able to make it on saturday. maybe the afternoon only.

All fairly quick runs. will be interesting. probably gonna crash like a mofo [img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley6.gif[/img] I think I am the guy on the HT you were talking to. I might be going to Spanish Farm on Sunday but if not we will deff go to Paarl. I will keep y'all informed. you might have to org your own shuttles cos we usually shuttle in my mate's vito. it can only fit 4 bikes. Paarl is the bomb. 3 tracks and a tar shuttle road. What more could you ask for? Don't say a ski lift.your_name_here2009-11-24 03:24:53
DownhillingKing Posted November 24, 2009 Author Posted November 24, 2009 Um never ending downhill like in the one ad on TV. My Giant DH team still up for sale 10k
Capricorn Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 hey hey YNH: . what's your name? soz, sunday was a bit of a seriously bonehead day for me. I'll shuttle as best I can. hopefully someone else will have a spot for a lift up. Paarl might be a complete sumbitch in terms of heat this weekend..
Capricorn Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 yep. forecast for cape town this weekend starts at 29C max for Friday, and going up. 31C for sat. good lord. I bet Paarl is going to be the center of the sun... please tell me there are water points along that track, or at the top...oh wait. u did mention a coffee shop.. hope they have ice coffees
DownhillingKing Posted November 24, 2009 Author Posted November 24, 2009 Yoh it going to boil in paarl! I also want to go ride there never ridden myself just watched guys ride there.
