  1. You dont need an old bb...just a shim that goes over the crank spindle...it then makes it 30mm across
  2. Its a weird crank and getting a BB is a pain. I ended up ordering one from Praxis in the uk a few years back I recently saw a praxis crank with a little shim that made the spindle 30mm throughout i.e. it fit only on the 28mm section...doing this and then getting a 30mm BB might be the best option
  3. Check out the Favero Assioma power meter pedals - these are a great option for road bikes. They are highly rated and if you get a used one for a good price you should be able to sell at a similar price later on the hub
  4. Also check out decathlon. They have some good bags etc and a very good price. They have a nice bag for an extra bottle that can also double up for food...
  5. Courier guy is also great You book the delivery on their website You need to box the item They collect and deliver They cost around 350 rands
  6. its a great event to do. A nice route that is not too difficult and not technical. No need for a GPS - there are a lot of riders and the route is well mapped.
  7. Great to hear about your new endeavour Paul, you are very passionate about cycling and wishing you all the best in this venture!
  8. This is his "License" < Sensitive document removed >
  9. This guy also contacted me on Sat. He seems to be looking at WANTED ads and responding to everyone...be on the lookout...
  10. Has anyone printed a Garmin Varia mount that fits onto Specialized saddles (with the two bolts)?
  11. I have used the Thule ones - the one in your link works the best - you strap the wheels down and the arms hold the top of the bike in place - its easy to use and you can put multiple bikes on. this would be my go to option especially if i were transporting more than one bike and over a longer distance If you are just taking your bike to a starting point, i find that it is WAY easier to drop my back seats and slide the bike in - especially if its a road bike as i dont need to take the front wheel off. I have a little fiat 500 and my road bike fits fine 😁
  12. i am assuming you want to stick to 11 speed? I think the size of the chainring depends on how fast you want to go and the largest cog on the cassette depends on how much steep stuff you intend climbing I think that a 42T up front on a gravel bike with a 11-42 at the back is probably best for most gravel riding. If you want a bit more top end i think a 44 chainring mated to the 11-42 would probably work but you would not be able to climb the really gnarly stuff
  13. You might find that you can go to a slightly longer stem if you use a narrower set of bars (if that fits you) and it you move your shifters closer to you. again there are limits to what can and cant be done but this may assist you if you cant get a stem...
  14. Sounds like you are playing with specialized saddles. They have a tool in most if their shops which measures your sit bones and tells you the equivalent bsaddle
  15. Where are you based? Their shop is in Rosebank next to the mall. You can drop it off there ... If its within the warranty period, then surely you dont need to pay in
