  1. Hi there,i have a 2017 Specialized Diverge and I saw that the 2018 model comes with a future shock progressive suspension. Does anyone have an idea where I can get the suspension? Would it fit on the 2017 model? and how much would it go for?

     

    Sorry I'm new to this so I'm looking for some advice.

     

    Thanking you in advance

    See if you can find one of these, I have one, but can't find more in SA.

    Mine is 5 years old and still feels better than the S version.

  2. Quick question:

     

    If a team rode the 2013, does both the riders get an enty for 2014 or is it still just one?

    No , They will block that option

  3. Sealed hydraulic unit so no adjustment, or am I missing something?

     

    Where the hose leaves the lever there is a alloy adjuster at the join. Try turning it anti clock wise one turn then test one turn then test.

    If all fails to improve then turn back again.

    If this does not help,the X Lock lever needs to be bled.

  4. Thanks Zilla. I don't have a bleeding kit but will get it through to our SRAM service centre on Monday, just a bit frustrating seeing the new 29R standing there waiting for me...

     

    Have you tried just adjusting the barrel adjuster a bit . These levers dont work with too little or too much presure.

    fiddle with that a bit.

  5. Ok, So I got my bike back yesterday, the tyre reads Schwalbe Racing Ralph Pline (performance line)

     

    What I have gathered from all this is that I will be riding at 2.5bar front and rear, at least for a while to allow the tyre to seat properly and will then gradually decrease the tyre pressure. Thanks for all your help!

     

    They are seated and will not seat better over time.(sounds like the kind of answer a poor shop gave you.)

     

    Performance Line is the cheapest of the Scwalbe tyres.The ones that many bikes are fitted with out the box.

    They are NOT great as tubeless.In fact ,they are not rated by Scwalbe as being compatible with any tubeless system.

    You will however find many guys trying,some with more success,but at 105kgs,dont take the chance.

     

     

    Ditch them in favour of the Snake skin version.

  6. I was the disgusting ass that dared to charge riders R100 for a wash and lube at Lighthouse.

     

    I started at R50/bike but was told by a few riders that this was too cheap,it was these riders that suggested R100 per bike.

    I then went on to charge R100 per bike and I only washed 72 bikes,finishing at 8:30.After which I went on to do mechanical repairs,replacing BB's cables tec without charging these riders ANY Labour for the repairs.

    So if you think I was there to "Rape" MTB enthusiasts or to get rich quick,think a little further.

    The Lions Club is a charitable organization,Hermanus Cycles is a business.We offered a service at a price.Your choice.You made yours BeerBoy,now let it go.

  7. Darn, only 2 weeks?

     

    Let's see, my warranty claim is still not sorted out, 13 months down the line... How awesome is that?? :(

     

    Whatever you do, just don't by a TREK! :thumbdown:

    We had the same with Trek

    exactly 12 months after the claim was approved,they sent the frame to another shop as they we NOT HAPPY with me.

    I had been spreading rumours about their poor service.
