    downhill rubber: shoes

    my feet have been rolling off the pedals forwards not backwards and i've narrowed that down to the lack of feel through the pedals. When i dont feel/able to curl my feet slightly over the pedals i dont really know/feel how much pressure is being put on them. Kinda like riding gloveless if you...

    downhill rubber: shoes

    Udi, funny thing is that my old worn out pair of shoes work better for me, my relatively new sam hills don't grip as well as they don't mold to the pedal and offer much feel. I'm on deity LT pedals so they are pretty thin and they aren't the problem, even have 10mm pins on them which work...

    downhill rubber: shoes

    So what works these days? I've been on a pair of sam hill impacts for a the past year or so and haven't been getting along with them at all. I've tried longer pins on my pedals but still have problems with my feet rolling off the pedals. After discussing it with a few of my friends I've realised...

    Tire cuts from pietermaritzburg?

    Tire cuts from pietermaritzburg?

    Hey guys, need some help looking for pictures of the tires cuts that were used for the SA world cup. Didn't notice many cuts this year but I remember the first year where they were pretty much running slicks front and back?

    Does this happen to Hope hubs very often?

    ****, that sucks man. i have broken two at the same place, it is a very well known problem for hope hubs and the maxle light. did your replacement axle have a slightly longer conical section where the old one failed? the new updated ones are stronger and so far mine has taken a fair bit of...

    Rock shox maxle light is a axle Killer

    has that happen to a set of my pro 2s too. and it was not with a maxle set up. got a replacement axle for the hub and good news is that hope have changed the design. the conical section has a lower taper. makes sense as that is where the highest bending moment of the shaft is.
