Excluding Grip Shifters off course!

I can not even imagine what a tire for something like a Bugatti Veyron cost

Call it quits and you will regret it. Keep on riding, just dont do the stupid stuff. I myself are mid 40's now and I know there are certain routes and tracks that I can do, but I'm self employed and my age means I will recover longer and not able to work if I take a bad tumble. Keep on riding, walk around the crazy stuff and let's keep on enjoying this sport for as long as possible.

Got a pair of Avid Elixer 1 up for grabs. No idea if they are working ( they feel fine) - a client of mine gave this to me. The one lever have some corrosion - see pic. I can not think of anything I need now, so surprise me. Meet-up in Bellville/Durbanville area.

Hey, I like the top tube stem assembly! Just a nice smooth "ramp" up and over the bike - no more hitting your knaters on the stem when you hit a car or pedestrian. Just a smooth slide over and connecting with your whole body! Wish I had this on my bike a few weeks back. Could have prevented some tears then!

This looks like it was worn down at the caliper to so thin it sheared off. Not defending the brand, but it looks like caliper or worn pads.

At this point in time, you need a new bike!

A proper mechanic need to spend time with this bike and have a good look. And he needs to be a patient guy - not rushing to get to the next job. A bike that fell off a vehicle/rack, needs a frame allignment, linkage and basically everything checked.

The angle might be the problem, but am I wrong to think you have very short horses?

Yes, but chainsaws are meant to leak oil when used.

All of these riders are extremely good in their own (but only one) discipline. But no one will ever come close to what John Tomac achieved over multiple disciplines. Some downhill guys of previous eras were very good in BMX as well, but the focus has shifted towards being the best in one discipline - you have to to be the best nowadays. Tomac gets my vote!

Please DM me regarding this.

Just being able to still ride is the best. There are nice stuff like, single track, long downhills, twisty routes, rock gardens, etc. But as I am looking after a lot of beginner mtb'ers, you still see their enthusiasm for the sport and that is the best, just to go ride.

Agree with you. People are way too sensitive and there is nothing wrong with asking "is this bike(s) possibly stolen?"

You can also use the camera and zoom in on the trail ahead.🤣
