  1. Hi, Not stir up or anger the admins. I'm posting this as a question.... I'm looking for 25.4mm straight bars. I have old omega frame I wanna make a single speed. It has a quil stem and instead of removing it and getting the threadless adapter I just want a MTB straight bar ... I'm sure this will work ... Right lol So any shops in CPT I can call up or any hubbers willing to help? Will pay if necessary.
  2. Good Afternoon, Just a heads up when to cyclelab, disassemble, packing and couriering service R700. That's from CPT to Sandton. Thanks for the advice. CYCLELAB was a breeze!
  3. Thanks. Will contact cyclelab in the morning, they seem thee less complicated way lol if not then manual route and boxing will have to work.
  4. Good EVENING, A question I'm assuming was asked a thousands times before, BUT how much does it cost to ship a bike from CPT to JHB? who is the best courier to do so with? and is the method simple? Do i disassemble the bike or do they? Many thanks!
  5. Wanted to know if anyone knows if the rook one is alu or steel? Or was it the rook 2 that was alu ... confused ? I'm assuming the simple Sam is steel only?
  6. Anyone know where to purchase the aerospoke front wheel? 🤔 I remember rook cycle use too but haven't for a while.
  7. Lol 26ers are so perfect to throw around. And I would agree... They are hibernating in old age homes hehe. Glad to read there still some 26ers alive and kicking... With beast upgrades
  8. I suppose I should ask myself is trying to save my 1st mtb worth stacks of money or should I just get a 29er? I love the control I have with a 26er feels like I can jump and turn in an instance. I've even consider getting a dual sus 26er because... It's a 26er lol
  9. I'm trying to resurrect my old Silverback. And definitely need a new wheelset. Priced some tubeless tyres and cheapest are 599 🫣
  10. I've been scanning the hub for a set of 26er wheelsets but haven't seen any.
  11. Good morning guys, Are 26ers dead? Or are parts just obsolete?
  12. So I should probably get a 10spd rear wheel and 10 shifter ... then contact nils for the conversion. I'd attempt this myself but my previous try was unsuccessfully lol ???? thanks for the input gents. Will post before and after pics and also weight ????
  13. Good evening guys. My road bike has had its time... the shifting has become a pain and even after my recent service at a popular bike store the shift is sticky and noisy. I have a rc1000 raliegh, changed the to flat bars and managed to source 3x8 mtb shifters. Question now is can I upgrade the back gears to a 10 speed? And have a single chainring up front ? Also is there anyone in CT doing these conversions? The bike is for commuting around the area and to work. I just thought that if thevshifting isn't work well I could shed some extra kilos and have a slightly faster ... meant light bike lol ????
  14. This video definitely helped me! Almost brought to tears then stumbled upon this.
  15. Hi Guys, So i recently bought a dropper but not having clearly read the AD i purchased it too big for my current seat-post. Does any one have experience using a seat-post shim? my current diameter is 27.2mm and the dropper is 31.6mm.... can a seat-post shim help in this regard ?
