OOOOK, so it looks the root cause has been found!😀 The locating nuts(?), circled in red, were switched around, offsetting the whole wheel to one side. This was discovered when stripping the whole axle, and re-assembling it. The wider of the two was placed on the brake side, which moved total wheel over to correct position. Re-aligned brake caliper and it's good to go! Thanks to all who gave advice and info, made us all think a bit!! Apologies for incorrect part names, but hopefully it was sort of clear explaining the problem.

It has a QR skewer. The wheel does not buckle, and I will be checking the dropouts next.

Wheel is not buckled, running perfectly true.

I need some assistance please. Rear tyre is just about rubbing against frame on brake side. I have found that when doing some rougher terrain, the wheel axle seems to "relocate" slightly, causing rubbing of tyre against frame. Although properly tightened and settled into frame location. The tyre size is 29x2.25. The gap difference between chain side and brake side is clearly visible, and is about 2mm from frame on brake side. What can be done to bring the rim more to the center - re-align with spokes?

With winter approaching, I would like to know, which type of winter clothing you wear? I am looking to get a gilet, (Anatomic) but looking for something not too hot, but which protects against colder Western Cape weather. Or would a vest type undervest be more effective?

Been doing both roadie and MTB, but like my photo, my wife reckon I looks kinda cool with the shades and afdakkie! And I listen to my wife.

All more reason to wear a black armband this Sunday. Condolences to the family of this hero!

I'll just stay at home and service what needs to serviced.

If you don't have the legs, you have achieved nothing, was what a buddy told me once on this same discussion of our bikes. Pretty much the same as ........................does size matter

Two bricks Weet bix with some raisins been working for me for a long time. Even with the ex-Argus years, stayed the same, and it worked, with date balls as well on the road.

This is so wrong! I am biting on my tongue to say what I want. Rest in peace Frans and Janine, you have entered your eternal journey! You will never be forgotten! May all of you who were at this tragic scene, also find peace and strength to continue.

The only thing you have to feel terrible about, is the fact there are many more lying on their couches doing nothing, but that is their problem. You do not have to feel a thing, great stuff for doing the right thing, just enjoy the ride!!

I think the nicest sound I ever heard, was that "ting" when the flippin one I had, dropped into the glass thingy in hospital during a "pp" session! When doc saw it, his words...."OK, you can go home now" And yes, do not talk about the pain beforehand leading to this.

Sjoe, dis hectic Cois, met daai pille en gebede, gaan jy dit deurtrek! Sterkte vriend, en dankie vir die gereelde "updates" Dis altyd goed om dit te deel, selfs my vrou vra gereeld hoe dit gaan!

We used a similar tool in the tyre manufacturing industry to smooth out rubber joints during tyre making process.
