  2. This story has a happy ending, Arshard the owner of Solomons has contacted me and will be refunding me in full for the frame, the parts that were supplied that were of no use and the labour. I intend to remove the post once this has been processed.
  3. I have a tap set for crank arms but I am in Durban
  4. Hi Guys i am appealing to everyone to try and come to the party here we are trying to get 2 bikes, from BMX or whatever is available, for two 14 Year Olds from disadvantaged backgrounds who will utilise these bikes as transport combined with health and wellness. They are devoted footballers, these youngsters have made a promise to themselves that they want to be they change they want in life and in getting these bikes will help them to get to and from training daily. Their parents are unemployed and wound up in circles of substance abuse. We are appealing to everyone to come forward and see what we can do to help. They are in the Johannesburg area. If you could help at all please contact Sam on 082 803 3866 or Clayton on 083 227 0429. Many Thanks

  6. This is possibly the best rotor cleaner i have ever used, it comes in an aerosol and is basically squirt on rinse off. http://www.multitergent.co.za/3rd-party-extensions/virtuemart?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=8&category_id=3 their other products are also awesome, give them a try.

  9. Hi All, i thought i would keep everyone up to speed with one of the latest trends in the cycling world and now through the winter months is one of the best times to jump on the wagon. I have been doing pilates through the summer months and my stability on the bike is absolutely incredible now after these pilates sessions, again it does depend on the trainer but private classes and not those offered in the gym are awesome to keep you up to speed. I am currently in Durban and pilates is offered everyday barring the weekends by my instructor and she really does plan a good session. It helps with recovery after hard sessions, definately improves flexibility and most importantly builds your core where most of your power gets lost on the bike through absorbtion with a weak core. Go on give it a try. From as little as R50 a session.
  10. In Joburg contact Richard of Cycle Fit ie, richard@cyclefit.co.za and in Durban contact Clayton ie clayton@cyclingcoach.co.za
  11. The lateral stiffnes would be comprised mainly due to the non bladed spokes being replaced by straight gauge spokes, this can and will be counteracted if building 3 cross whereas the normal spoke pattern is 2 cross and radial, as well as the bigger flange diameter. the powertap Sl comes in a 20 hole version so no reason why it shouldnt work. You may want to double check the spoke length on that other post but from my calculation it will be 287 and 285 mm for 3 cross.
