  1. Thanks for the feedback
  2. Thanks. I sent them a mail, will see what response I get
  3. Hey guys. Has anyone ridden or tested any of the Vittoria MTB wheels, I can't find any reviews online as they are still reasonably new. I'm specifically looking at the Vittoria Reaxion wheelset, but if someone has ridden the creed's or any other models that would also help http://www.vittoria.com/wheel/reaxcion-2/ Comments anyone? Currently have NoTubes Crest on shimano hubs, but not happy with the crests, as fitting tires is an issue, especially if you have problems out on a ride and need to put a tube in.
  4. Have you tried talking to the people at your local post office? Sometimes their systems are more up to date then the online ones, or the online system hasn't been updated yet and your parcel is actually sitting at your local post office. Try giving your local post office a call, you should find their number on the following link http://www.postoffice.co.za/tools/postofficelocations.html
  5. Hey everybody Thank you so much for all the messages and replies. I'll message everyone who PM'd me in the next couple minutes, I should be sorted, looking at some of the messages. hope everyone has a nice weekend further and happy riding. Regards Bradley
  6. Thank you for the offer anyway
  7. Thank you, I'll send you a PM a little later this afternoon.
  8. I'm actually in the process of getting other mounts, to test myself before offering them to my buyers
  9. Thank you
  10. I'm not trying to start a mud fining contest between different suppliers of lights I'm trying to get a review for potential buyers who want to know how the light handles on a mountain bike, how well it works for single track etc.
  11. Hey guys and girls I'm looking for someone to test and review one of my bike lights, as an unbiased independent reviewer over a few weeks I would preferably like someone who has been doing night rides for a little while now, and has used a few different lights so as to have a basis for their review, someone who rides both dirt and road would be ideal, but someone who sticks to the dirt would also be fine, as most of my queries regarding my lights are for MTB The light I'd like to have tested would be the single LED T6 lights I have, with a 6400mAh battery pack Thanks everyone who sent me messages, have got a few people who would be able to help.
  12. I don't want to cause any fisty cuffs even though Friday is so close. I just wanted anyone who might have looked at the ad and seen the comment know that the battery packs have safety systems in place and won't explode out of the blue
  13. Let me start off by stating the following, I in no way want to attach individuals or turn this post into a mud flinging match. It was stated on my advert that the lights I am selling are unsafe to the public, specifically the battery packs, this is not true as the seller did not contact me before hand to get all the facts and specifications of the packs. here is the stated text and video posted on the advertisement, I urge readerS to read the complete post before commenting etc. First off regarding the safety issue of the battery packs, the individual in the video above was not using a safety circuit when building that battery pack or when charging the battery that exploded in question. Please see below pictures of safety circuit incorporated into battery packs that come with my lights, to prevent overcharging and catastrophic failure here is also a link regarding lithium battery safety for those interested http://batteryuniver...safety_concerns Then regarding Lumens, I do not have the equipment to test lumen output, from what I understand you need quite an expensive instrument to measure it, so as per my advertisement, I have stated what the manufacturer claims, no editing of advert has been done to rectify this. If anyone has the equipment to test Lumen output, I'd be more then happy to see what these lights can put out. Run time testing is currently being done on the lights and an update will be posted with actual test results, not manufacturer claims for those interested. Again, I'd just like to state the battery packs that come with my lights are safe and aren't going to fail unless physically damaged or amerced in water. Speaking to the manufacturers this morning, that SPECIALIZE in battery manufacturing for various applications, and bicycle lights as an additional product, they have not to date had a battery explode, and have an annual revenue of $100 million, so are not some backyard company. My inbox is open for anyone that feels that they would like to contact me. edit: spelling

  16. let me just say, bombs are still a good thing to have in your saddle bag for emergencies as a get home or to help get to the finish. They just shouldn't be used to seat a new tires at home, rather use a compressor or floor pump if the tire sits tight enough on the rim.
  17. The Bomb most likely caused your problem. If you open up your tire, you'll most likely find a booger or ball of coagulated latex. long story short, the CO2 causes a pH change that in turn causes the latex to coagulate. (latex needs an basic environment to stay liquid) alternatively fill your bath at home to the level of your valve and see if you cant find where the leak is, like you would do with a tube.
  18. Maybe contact the distributors directly, they are normally more then happy to answer questions and any experiences I've had with them have been really good. http://www.ballisticbiketrading.co.za/contact/ at the bottom of the page is their contact number
  19. Know exactly what you mean, been riding a rigid carbon ss for about 2 weeks now, took my other bike for a spin yesterday and it felt like was riding on a cloud lol.
  20. The fat valve on the tube that punctured is a Schrader Valve, the thin one on the spare is a Presta Valve, you can use a Presta valve on a Schrader valve rim as a quick fix, but not the other way around, as the schrader valve will not fit through the hole of the presta rim. What you need is a adapter, that screws onto the presta valve, and then you'll be sorted. But yes tubeless would be the way to go, It helps for devil thorns and the likes. Failing that second best would be slime tubes, they work but not as well as full on tubeless.
  21. heal up soon bud, hope you manage to be back on the bike soon. Please lay a charge against the driver in question or report it the the SAPS officially. Hopefully someone in the craziness took down at least a number plate, I know its quite a shlep to do it, but people need to be accountable for their actions, even if nothing comes of it at least the driver will be on book in case something like this happens again in future so that a case can be built against the driver in question. Edit: sorry I see in your original post you the police where at the scene, I'm guessing the paper work is in the pipeline.
  22. And the thread on those fittings fit the brakes nicely? no oil or air leaks when you push the oil into the brakes?
  23. here we go this is what google turned up http://carinsurance.arrivealive.co.za/where-should-mobile-speed-cameras-be-positioned.php

    Old Rags

    Check with some of the cleaning material wholesalers nearby I know they sometimes sell rags in big plastic bags?
  25. I think your best bet would be to contact the Trek distributors directly and find out if they sell or can source the part your looking for. If they can get it for you it would then be up to your LBS to get from the distributors for you, as most don't sell direct to the public, I don't know what Treks policy is. Also maybe give Solomons in PTA/ JHB a call I know they stock quite a bit of Trek stuff, maybe they'll have a replacement fork for you in one of their branches. (012 five four six 02 43)
