Eish, then I'm one lucky guy. I was caught at 150km/h on the way back from the Berg(N3 to Durbs), got caught on a uphill of all places. Was expecting a massive fine, which the cop showed me would be R1500, I told him the story of me seizing my engine on the way up to the Berg and how much it was going to cost me to sort out(which is true), he asked me what I could afford to pay, I said R500 as I was guilty and apologised for my wrong doing. Now when a cop asks you how much you can pay, I was expecting a bribe. He then said to me how about R600, so I said how about R400. He then looked at my Bantam bakkie, asked me what I did for a living then said to me, stop speeding & then let me off. Phew - some days it just pays to be honest.

Ive got a SLX 9 speed cassette that has had about 500km mileage, the current parts are Shimano Acera(not too good). So i was thinking of a new XT crankset for me, so she would get hand me down SLX crankset. Then get some 9 speed 2nd hand shifters from the hub. Im just worried that the cheap & nasty 8 speed cassette will damage the freehub body(Hope Rear Hub) and cause problems later on. So may need to spend the money now, but dont really want too. I think I convincing myself

Ok cool, thanks for that. Will PM him

Ive thought about it, but the parts a not that great. Its definatly an option.

Anyone?

I'm busy trying to upgrade the wifes bike bit by bit. Its currently an 8 speed GT, I wanna eventually convert it to 9 speed. So firstly I'm having a set of tubeless wheels made up as the first upgrade,Its what to do next that gets a bit tricky. So I have a couple questions.... Where can I get red nipples and Dbl butted spokes from? CWC doesn't have anything in stock at the moment. So is there a hubber/ another online shop besides CWC & buycycle that can help?I cant afford to do the whole conversion at once, but since I'm having the wheelset done, should I get a new 9 speed cassette for the wheelset build, will that work with a 8 speed setup(shifters & crankset?) Or should I just stick with the current 8 speed cassette & setup? What to do, what to do Any suggestions/ advice would be greatly appreciated

Been this morning down to beach - No go unfortunatly, hence my idea. Its a DVD & poker day

Good point, damn the voice of reason and spoiler of fun Guess its safer to surf the interweb

I was thinking of putting an old bicycle helmet on, grab the old bodyboard and go river boarding. There is a small standing wave forming. Ive not seen these high river levels since the floods in the 80's.

Most electronics sales people are useless when it comes to product knowledge - Drives me mad.

Bwah ha ha

Nice one, on the smoking free Was it wet weather while you were riding cause that can also make them squeek

All part of the process, it should get better as the pads "bed in" Also maybe take them out and rub them down with some sandpaper, they may have become contaminated with oil or something along the line. If not, the pads can always be re-aligned very easily

Did the wife appreciate the effort and notice the difference? Im in the process of building the wifes new wheels too, Im more excited about it then she is

I just wish it would stop raining in Durbs 5 - 7 sunny days in one month. Its starting to take its toll on the bike with all this mud

the hub, it is good

If you feel bad about a sub, imagine how I must be feeling after a pizza and a whole tub of ice cream last night
