  1. You would think that this is what they are meant to be doing, anywhere
  2. Are these Spez tyres UST? Do you run them front & back? From reviews Ive read the new range with the black chili protection(thicker sidewall) foldable are 510g
  3. Phone the guy and see what he has to say
  4. Has anyone got a hold of the 2011 Conti tyres locally yet. I keep hearing different stories, one being world wide shortage, the other being the mould had to be scrapped & redone Any news/ reports on the black chili compound yet?
  5. I wonder how CWC feel about sharing a website with these folks.
  6. Those sick bastards, Rodney King springs to mind.
  7. Ok so the upgrade is nearing completion, fork is back from the sprayers and is looking the bomb, just waiting on getting decals done. So with this upgrade I've had a new set of wheels built up as well with hope hubs(new). So my question is do I get a new cassette and chain to go with the shiny new hubs. I bought what I thought was a Shimano rear cassette(via The Hub), but I was given Sram instead , the rest of the groupset is Shimano SLX & XT. Secondly what skewers to go with it? Something light, duarble & anodised. I was gonna go with the KCNC, is this a good idea?
  8. Those two screws are what need to be adjusted, your limit screws.
  9. Im thinking more along the lines of cardio training - something like super circuit with light weights and on the cross trainer, step machines, rowing machine & running. I do understand the cycling specific training and that time in the saddle accounts for a lot as well.
  10. Where in Oz did he go? Looks like I'll be heading that way within the next 12- 18months
  11. I've also been thinking am I gonna get a better workout or training session by doing an hr in the gym instead.
  12. This is something Ive been thinking about. How much effective training can you get in an hr?
  13. Never had a problem on my other wheels.
  14. Was trying to use an old set of wheels(2002) I had, I also didn't like what they looked like and are pretty heavy, but just wanted to see if it would be ok. I was going to have too eventually get another set, so I hijacked the missus new ones as she is too busy with work at the moment to ride(happy days for me). I also just wanted to learn to do it myself, I would rather have the money to spend on other bits & pieces.
  15. Just seen my forks after being sand blasted & sprayed. So much of beautiful
  16. Yeah, definitely. Just having my forks done as we speak, I sanded them down as much as possible only for the guy to ask me why I did it as he will blast it.
  17. Change of tactic, waiting on a new wheelbuild, then will do it
  18. It seems to have made the world of difference, the problem has been brought to the attention of the mighty Hub and been resolved . Everyone one has learnt a valueable lesson, as we all did yesterday.
  19. Any further developments? Is everyone a happy camper
  20. Even the Adidas sneakers that I bought online from the UK(they also have high street shops) only cost me R350 with p&p, vat etc. The guy here wanted to charge me R850, when I questioned him he just says thats what they cost and that I will not be able to get them cheaper even if I imported them. The look on his face when I walked into the shop - Priceless
  21. Whichever way this turns out or whoever was/ is at fault, this will definitely make me think twice about buying second hand carbon parts.
