  1. https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum/user/2-admin/ Thanks, would be great if you could.
  2. Not yet, will do but if you want to take the initiative feel free.
  3. Just don't forget when you try it out.
  4. Im sure the chap doing the sticker bomb frame could cover that very nicely.
  5. Sound like a loophole for fraud if you ask me, with not having original documents in front of you. I could be wrong as well. In saying that when I got my plate made they asked for no details at all, I just told them my reg no and they made it.
  6. If I wanna buy from the Germans I'll use Bike24 Add them to the online international shopping guide, there is a thread
  7. You were worried about the Tattoo artists coming over, now you declaring your love for the domestic
  8. I thought I was bad, but that my friend takes the cake
  9. I've not bought anything from CRC or overseas in ages, everything has been bought local. The rims I bought were cheaper her then overseas as well.
  10. Not anymore, seems the online guys have brought it back to being very competitive. My DT Swiss Revolution are R650 for 36 spokes locally(CWC) and I'm paying R700 for 72 spokes at CRC. Shop around, it saves you in the long run.
  11. So I get a reply from CRC now, Thank you for your e-mail. To lace front and rear Hope Pro 2 Hubs to 26" 32h NoTubes ZTR Crest rims you will need 264mm and 262mm spoke lengths, this is based on a 3cross spoke lacing pattern using 14mm nipple lengths. The configuration is as per below: Front Disc side - 262mm Front Drive side - 264mm Rear Disc side - 264mm Rear Drive side - 262mm Kind Regards, This is now the same as the first wheelbuilder. Would it be the nipple lengths that are causing the differences perhaps?
  12. I just paid less at a LBS for my new Assos bib shorts then any of the local online stores. Which I was very surprised about. In saying that you still need to shop around, as you would be comparing LBS to Online, Online(local) to Online(local) or even Online(local) to Online(international). Some things will be cheaper here, all depends on the relationship between shop and supplier. I don't think its a matter of trying to rip us off, they still need to make a profit don't forget.
  13. Tuck & roll, tuck & roll Bones heal and chicks dig scars
  14. OK cool I'm in, Wooo Hoooo Super excited now, should be a cracking day, and I don't mean bones.
  15. Hi Nigel, Did you get my email I sent to you about my confirmation? Thanks
  16. So I just called Maverick Cycles who have a champion wheelbuilder there, and according to him, I will need 260mm & 262mm, same as Stan's No Tubes measurements. I asked about the "stretch" of the Revolution spokes and he said it makes no difference for any measurements. So any suggestions? The Maverick guys built my first custom wheelset and not had any issues in over two years.
  17. Is it possible to get some close up pics of the clearance you have? I would like to know what its going to be like in muddy conditions for clearance.
  18. Strange one, I have now got a reply back from Stans No Tubes "Our recommend lengths are here http://www.notubes.com/literature/Stans_hub_spoke_chart_2012.pdf We use 260 & 262 for this build when we build it." There is now a 2mm discrepency between Stans and my wheelbuilder( 262 & 264) Who is right and who is wrong?
  19. When I had all four teeth removed I was riding again after 4 days. Depends how you feel though.
  20. lol, one to many whiskeys me thinks.
  21. Im going with standard 26" Fork & frame, don't think Fox have released there 650B forks as yet and with what he mentioned about the BB being raised is telling me 26" frame as well. I could be wrong
  22. Been there, done that for my nephews birthday party Never again
