Think I may try make an insert for it, it may weaken the hanger drastically since there is very little meat to work with, but it is worth a shot I guess, seeing as it is pretty much useless now anyway

Hey everyone, my nephew has an old Scott Scale carbon frame, it is quite a nice frame, but he somehow managed to strip the threads in the derailleur hanger, and it seems that it is not replaceable, as it looks to be bonded to the frame, does anyone have any ideas for a repair job?

I only want the #EnduroBro tyres anyway, the rest is everyone else's problem, not mine 🤣

Thanks, because they are R1200 - R1400 everywhere else

Where is the MM selling for that price?

Even bicycle wheels, I can never really understand how a "highend" bicycle wheel can cost more than a motorbike wheel, here we have a bespoke Carbon wheelset for a motorbike, made in small quantities, has to meet much higher safety standards, and is ised in some of the most expensive motocycles in the world, yet is still cheaper than many bicycle wheels???? The mind boggles

I really liked the Maxxis Dissector at the back, but that may be to wide being a 2.4, maybe an Aggressor? Those come in 2.3, never ridden one but apparently they are good as a rear tyre. Other end is a 2.3 DHR II, but I am not sure if that really meets your "fast rolling" requirements Also, any of those 2.3ish tyres are going to be really square running on 35mm inner width rims, but Jeff Kendal Weed says that makes for awesome manuals.... 🤷

Is the bird still at the creek? I have been avoiding that section, but it is one of the most fun parts of the trail, just want to wait till the bird is gone before riding it again

I dont know multipark buddy, but I have multipark 6, has worked very well for me so far, R199 a month and I can ride 6 rides a month at any trailpark in Gauteng

Yebo, slap a 205 x 65 shock and you will have 160mm of travel, there is probably even just a spacer in your current shock that limits it to 57.5mm of stroke, you would need to send it in to have it removed, unless you are skilled and confident enough to do a damper rebuild on your shock. But seeing as you have a Hyrax, it is probably a Rockshox Deluxe, I would maybe fit a shock with a reservoir, eg Super Deluxe/Fox Float X or DPX2 etc

From the man himself I guess

Thaba trails in Alberton has had a couple of the new 140 and 160 bikes on the floor Finishline cycles also advertised a medium 140 6000 on facebook a couple days back, maybe contact one of those shops?

Yes thank you, we came right

Check with triptych resources, last time I couriered a bike from JHB to CPT it was under R600

Good morning everyone, so I am looking to attempt learnig this coffee thing, I have found a Breville Barista Express, from what I have learned so far, they are a good machine to start learning on, it is a used machine, so would just like to see if anyone can give me a heads up on things to look out for? Also, the portafilter is missing, are they easily attainable at a reasonable price? Thanks in advance for any tips and advice.

Go speak to the guys at Tony Impey and Complete Cyclist maybe

Hey, I have this part you need, in the wrong size, but you can make it work with another part, but I dont have that part to make it work, but if you can find the part somewhere else you can get it to work, I also have this other part, it wont work at all, but just thought I should let you know anyway, just incase......

Thanks, we came right 👍

Does anybody maybe have a sram shifter bar clamp?

I am 105kg and ride fairly hard, and make questionable line choices at the best of times, I am running 1.5 in front and 1.7 at the back, Pirelli Scorpion enduro casing tyres no inserts, and it works really well, for me at least....

That is really hard, I would try like 1.5bar in front and 1.7bar rear

Look at rapide.co.za their bars are really good and pretty damn cheap

I really like my Camelbak Repack (hip pack) has a 1.5litre bladder, and nice pockets to hold some far/fast bars and I keep some mushroom plugs and tyre levers in it, in my opinion, it is very comfortable, and I know that I will always have enough water with me

My DT wheels also do this, my old Lyne wheels didnt, I eventually just added sealant and it still leaked, pumped it up again and made sure to shake the sealant around very well, and then it held up much better, but still slowly leaked, after the 3rd or 4th air up it now holds air very well, even switching tyres, it holds perfectly, just need to be very careful not to damage the rim tape when swapping tyres

Maybe have a chat with @RobertWhitehead
