Hi Tech Experts, I have a 2015 Momsen VIPA AC https://momsenbikes.com/archives/2015-bikes/vipa-ac-se/ and want to use this on an indoor trainer like a Kickr snap or Cyclops Fluid 2. I will need a Thru axle adapter but cant see how this would work with the gold part on the right side of the bike (See Pic attached). Has anybody tried this? Any creative solutions out there besides buying a new bike?

I am looking at a roof carrier for my bike and see that the Holdfast unit is relatively cheaper than the Thule Proride units. Does anybody use this model and are you happy with it?I currently have a Thule Freeride unit but am not happy with the stability of the bike and the way it clamps the down tube. I have the Thule Wing bars fitted already, would the holdfast trident fit?

Cane Creek Thudbuster without doubt, Have had mine for a year and am very happy with it. If it is properly setup and you use the correct elastomers there is no sag

Thanks for the advice, will try tonight

Not sure how to tell but I think its a post mount type

Yesterday I had a front wheel puncture and after reinserting the wheel back into the fork I now have the inside pad rubbing on the disk rotor.(Shimano BR-M486 brakes) Normally I would reinsert the wheel and hold the brake lever tight before closing the quick release skewer so that the wheel is centered in the caliper but this does not help. Any advise on solving this issue would be appreciated.

Thanks but based in JHB. I can see problems and delays with Royal Mail as I have a postnet mailbox but the parcel will be deliverd to SAPO.nOt sure if the letter will be forwared the postnet mailbox?

Can any body advise a CRC newbie. The Royal Mail option through CRC has no tracking so how do you know when the delivery has arrived at the local SAPO? Will they inform you somehow or do you just take a chance and go past? Whats the typical deivery time to RSA in your experience? They say 5- 8 working days but is that correct? I know the other delivery options are better but the Item I want to order will not justify the extra expense so will have to go Royal Mail.

Thanks for the advice, Ill give the manny methods a go and report back soon

Any One have advice on how to replace MTB grips. I am replacing rubber with rubber (not Lock grips) and this doesnt look like an easy job.

I am also interested in finding out about the Mercury 3. Has any body got an opinion on this specific model or the mercury and 2 in general

I have tried a EVOX low carb protein drink for recovery after a ride and it really made a difference to my training without any weight issue. Try find a low card protein drink

Well done guys, we appreciate your efforts. Lets hope the justice system actually convicts these guys

Well done guys, Your efforts are really appreciated
