For what it's worth: And a B.U.M.P. to boot! Will PM you if we think of moving it to a more suitable forum. Happy, er, trading.

You're a cruel bugger. It's cold in the frozen foods aisle! What is this world coming to....

Gold. [When it comes to bling, I live through others... ]

Get hold of Dennis du Toit at Cornerstone Cycles in Paarl (021-870-1465 I think) - they're in regular contact with Cecil, might help?

I've seen a few oldies around - and they're mighty fine to look at... I've had no experience of them however, firsthand or other, so cannot really comment on quality issues etc... John Tomac is a legend though. So don't think he'd easily have something that's rubbish carry his name? At least, that's what I'd like to think...

Thanks for that Mampara/Andre - very useful link! How big was the item you brought in, if you don't mind me asking?

You could also keep a look out for one of the workshops occasionally offered by Johan Bornman - he posts details up here on the Hub... Provided you're sure to get your hands dirty soonish after you've been, you'll get all the info/training you need - and never have to send it away again...

So what do you have?

Had this cranking out over the weekend... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0x6chChxzV0

For what it's worth, I too can vouch for the singlespeed chaps - Jerrard was very knowledgeable and it didn't take too long to get my stuff through them...

Pffftt...

That could work, no?

In a nutshell - try and keep your chain in as straight a line as possible.... Obviously - the fitter you get/more time you spend on the bike, the easier this becomes! Pedaling (especially standing and pedaling) obviously places stress on the chain. Do this at the same time as making major gear changes - or doing it whilst your chain line is very skew (e.g. your chain is on the biggest cog at the back, and the biggest blade in front), can result in chain failure... You will quickly learn to adapt your riding style to what is required.... Not placing undue stress on the chain will result in less failures, but it does occasionally happen - regardless of what you were doing at the time. Consider using a quicklink, and keep a chain-tool (or minitool with one included) in your camelbak/saddlebag for those longer rides. Happy riding!

I'm thinking I've fixed it.... Went up the hill on the weekend, no adjustments required.... Now, let's wait and see if Karma decides to kick me in the n@ts for typing this...

Gaan kyk op die Cane Creek website - dit sal vir jou al die inligting gee oor of jydie ST of LT moet kies. Hierdie keuse sal weer bepaal watter elastometers jy nodig gaan kry... Ek dink die tipe elastometer hang af van wat jou gewig ens. is - maar ek sou nog altyd 'n search doen op www.mtbr.com - daar sal jy heel moontlik baie inligting kry oor watter kleur pas by watter tipe gemaks-vlakke... Lees liewerste wat die ‘firsthand accounts’ is oor daardie tipe keuses, want hulle gaan vir jou meer help as bloot wat die Cane Creek webwerf sê...

Road or mtb or both?

Hey - welcome to the Hub! Presumably it snapped whilst you were cycling? If so - what exactly were you doing? Chains, regardless of how old or new they are, can snap a link if you place enough strain on them if you are 'cross-gearing'...

Silly me - here I thought it was a solar-energy farm....

Hi! I moved your thread to the "Online Shopping" forum - you'll find all you need to know over here - and can start by looking over here for recent orders. Happy Hubbing!

But not nearly enough pics of the frame - that's where her true beauty lies, imo!

Earth, 1990 - taken by Voyager I from some 6 000 000 km's way... [Just in case any of you felt significant today...] See the link here "This narrow-angle color image of the Earth, dubbed 'Pale Blue Dot', is a part of the first ever 'portrait' of the solar system taken by Voyager 1. The spacecraft acquired a total of 60 frames for a mosaic of the solar system from a distance of more than 4 billion miles from Earth and about 32 degrees above the ecliptic. From Voyager's great distance Earth is a mere point of light, less than the size of a picture element even in the narrow-angle camera. Earth was a crescent only 0.12 pixel in size. Coincidentally, Earth lies right in the center of one of the scattered light rays resulting from taking the image so close to the sun. This blown-up image of the Earth was taken through three color filters -- violet, blue and green -- and recombined to produce the color image. The background features in the image are artifacts resulting from the magnification."

I have a pair of the FA Revolutions.... Comfortable enough, but not impressed with the stitching on the chamois, which now requires restitching after about a year and a bit...

Pending certain PM developments... This is for EggsOEWT&T: By the way... when searching for smarties out of Google.co.za, under images, several bicycles make their appearance in the results section, all of which appear to emanate from the HubSA... Wonder why that would be....
