  1. Thanks guys, should make life a lot easier for me...
  2. Ok... So, I'm probably doing the Argus on an SS. What ratio do you guys suggest? Its an old MTB, been riding mostly 32-13 but find Kloof Nek in Cape Town is killing me. On the flat sections I'm spinning like a big dog. This is my first Argus as well so I have no idea what to expect. I did Suikerbossie 32-14 and it was more then comfortable. I've got no idea what the rest of the hills are like and so have no idea what ratio to pick.. HELP! Thanks!

    Man, after the lack of interest by Dragons, I'm so over it right now, just glad to be back on my bike again.

    See, thats something I'd at least like Giant to consider. Review the paint application, adhesives etc. If it makes a bike's frame 100g heavier then flip make it 100g heavier, like the old bikes were, as long as quality isn' compromised. Just a suggestion though.

  6. Hi I've got an old MTB running a 6 speed cassette. I need a new chain and magic links. Can I use a 7speed chain?

  12. why would you like to know if its cracked? I'm of the opinion that if its an MTB frame and it develops a micro-crack it'll propogate rapidly, to the extent that it'll be visible within a ride or two of forming. Is it a road of MTB frame. Bear is ind that a lot of NDE/NTD is going to cost a lot. It might even cost more then the frame. I make use a lot of various NDT forms at work and if the rates are anything to go by then expect anything in excess of R15000 for an examination. Is the benefit worth it? Who manufactured the frame?
  13. Yes where do you get that XTC? The lefty costs a lot more to maintain, but is the shizz. How much for each of the bikes? New?

    I'd speak to the bike manufacturer and enquire from them as to the size and nature of the preventative measure. Please just don't cover your entire frame, it seems it MIGHT make things worse.
