  1. exactly why I suggested going for a RIDE. as a rule of thumb I never race on new equipment (whatever it is) unless I've taken it on a training ride first. So far we have replaced 6 or 8 out of a couple of hundred units, I think panic may be unnecessary.
  2. Judging by the lack of response I think you're right... there is no specific batch number that has an issue But I am advised that if you mount the tyres, and ride them for about 100km, you will know if they are the faulty ones. a "bubble" or "snake" will form in the tyres.
  3. have you upgraded your Smarty pedals yet? http://www.bicicletta.co.za/category_Warranty%20Service%20Page.htm

  9. I think I should rely a little less on the dealers to pass on important information like this. In the future I will send this kind of information to our mailing list subscibers too.

Many Smarty?s that are OEM tend to wear out very quickly or simply seize! Bicicletta have now implemented a Voluntary Upgrade Program. If this problem pertains to you, the upgrade program means that you can hand your Smarty pedals in to your dealer (or post them to me) and receive the following pedal models at the prices listed below: ? Candy X R 280.00 incl VAT ? Candy C or Eggbeater C R 450.00 incl VAT ? Candy SL or Eggbeater SL R 650.00 incl VAT The program will allow you to upgrade from NEW or USED Smarty pedals The pedals must be accompanied with the Service/Upgrade form which can be downloaded at: Service Form Download For any further information, contact Shamus on 083 407 8562 or e-mail info@bicicletta.co.za Shamus2009-11-23 13:57:27

  21. folding tyres on tubeless rims work well as my Race wheels, I run folding Racing Ralphs on my tubeless Crank Brothers Cobalt wheels. as my training/ demo/test wheels, I have 3 sets of Mavic Crossland UST rims paired with folding Nobby Nics, Smart Sams and Little Alberts. These tyres have all worked well for over a year
  22. We have used : wire bead single compound folding single compound folding dual compound, and folding triple compound (Evolution) all with pleasing results. It apears that the most important factor when using non-UST tyres is the fit against the rim. Both tyre and rim must conform accurately to ETRTO A well built rim will fit and seal (seat) with a well manufactured tyre.
