  1. Only saw this post now. I honestly had no idea that the ec90 was a knockoff Easton product. (Never knew The Easton ones even existed). Just tried my luck on aliexpress, as they looked a nice shape with shallow drop. The specific bars have many good reviews. But lesson learned. I was just lucky it did not completely snap. I just realized they had more flex after my ride???? Cracked on the bottom of the top flat part. Nowhere near a clamp. I just dumped them in a bin and bought proper bars???????? Only positive was that I realized how comfortable bars with a shallow drop are.
  2. Does anyone have feedback on the mileage possible with the sunrace 12 speed cassette for xd drivers?
  3. Thanks, I have moved back to smoove and regular chain cleaning.
  4. What chain lube do you use? I tried wend wax for about 500km on my new gx eagle chain. Already approaching the 0.5 wear mark, so not impressed at all! GX eagle Cassette also done after 3200km. I am going to ride this chain and cassette moertoe and then put xx1 on.

    Last year also did not have a t shirt in the goodie bag. When the entry fee bridged the R1k mark, I just could not justify entering again this year ???? Just too expensive. I still wonder why the fee went up that much though. Barberton classic is next week at below R500 entry fee for the ultra...

    Beers pulling away according to the live tracking. Lead of about 2km with 15km to go.
  8. We are using NZ Shores. Cheaper than most and we have had good service so far (busy job hunting). Looking at about R55k agent fees to residency status for a family of 4. Way cheaper than our first consultation with immigration migration, which would have been over R100k agent fees
  9. Order one on aliexpress for cheap and just wait the few weeks for it to arrive.
  10. Hi I recently bought a sram red crankset and installed it on my Giant TCR advanced pro 0. I bought a token press fit BB 86 and adapter for the non drive side. I used the 1mm spacer on both sides of the bb as in the token instructions. Here is my issue: After tightening the crank bolt, the crank does not spin freely, with a noticeable resistance present. I then removed the wave washer on the drive side. It then spins freely after tightening, but there is a 2mm gap between the BB shell and the crank. After about 40km, the drive side bb cup actually moved outward until it filled the 2mm gap. Then the resistance was back. Is the wave washer intended to keep the bb cup from coming out? This has never happened with my campag press fit bb. Should i just buy an original sram gxp pressfit 86 bb? Thanks

    Do not try anything unfamiliar on the day. I downed the ice cold biogen canned drink at the top of the KOM climb last year, only to let it out again a few km later...

  13. Thanks for the great service so far. Any chance of a Gx eagle or xx1 eagle chainring at a black monday price? 36t, 3mm boost, Direct mount...

    The most painful part is paying the R1k entry fee. Then it is downhill from there????
