  1. Knowing the overall weights on these bikes would be nice ?
  2. i have just replaced my rear tyre a pirelli cinturato with another one after 13500 kms and only had to put one small plug in it during its lifetime
  3. parraffin in a plastic container with a lid and then hold orbital sander underneath touching the bottom of container works just like an ultrasonic cleaner
  4. very bad puffer jacket sizing as i am a medium all day long in every other Ciovita product, but this jacket is way to big and no small jacket available to swop 😠
  5. i put Karoo foot powder in after every ride and then wash after really dusty/muddy rides or at least once a month or more often in summer
  6. wanted the LLB's from NTN as they are very low friction for wheels especially
  7. trying to find 6902 LLB bearing by NTN here is proving very difficult used Enduro Max on all my pivot points ordered from Cyclelab were resonably priced
  8. def the Shimano i got a pair recently for my commuter bike and they are the bomb and pads are cheap...just browse online for cheapest i got mine for R1100 on SALE
  9. Takealot has 32c @ R749.00 I have to say that my rear has actually worn to a flat strip in middle now with lots of niks & cuts but still holds air no problem after 10500km
  10. Have to say i purchased a new Merida from them in Jan and got great service from Warren via email which is my preferred method of communication anyway as then you have it in writing.
  11. for Holla trails i was Riding Ardent Race front & Rekon race back ( i had a DHR up front but only for a short while as it doesnt roll well on flats as you have found out) Just got a new bike that came with DHR front & rear but had them swapped to Forekaster and Ikon on rear both in 2.35 and will try this weekend to see how it goes
  12. i see you only start getting dropper post on RC from PRO model upwards
  13. Blur TR C S as per this video is 11.97kg
  14. will be interesting to see prices on the TR version
  15. Im on close to 7000km on GX cassette with 1 x GX original chain, just going to ride it till it starts slipping.
  16. very nice but when is Sram going to do something about those Top gears 42-52 gap is just crazy
  17. seems you were spot on, a good cleaning and lubing and there operating like they should sometimes we just forget about the simple maintenance tasks
  18. not a stupid question and after watching some videos i will be stripping mechanism down & cleaning/lubing and see what that does
  19. I have a pair of XT M780 that have done a lot of work and in the last few months i have trouble unclipping. I have put new cleats on shoes, adjusted tension etc. So i am thinking that mabey they are just plain worn out, is there a simple fix for this ( i saw on one blog someone talked about sanding down the metal part to make the shape correct again ) or do i just buy new pedals ?
  20. currently on 7000km on one GX cassette and one GX chain. they both have wear but no slipping yet
  21. So happy i saw this thread Just contacted them and in less than 1 hour the deal is done and some new mounts are being couriered today. Dealt with Adam and that's next level service, big Kudo's to BBT They just arrived on my desk @ 09h30 geez i wish all shops would give this kind of service
  22. I use thin velcro straps and put some spongy double sided tape on the front of the stem but just remove a small part of the covering on DS tape so board just sticks to it. this makes it mount between stem & cables so no rubbing and easy to remove.
