  1. They actually caterpillar. I will dump the wheel rather as I am cleaning out garage @ moment
  2. think so also but shimano rims are just @ expensive to buy.
  3. Do you guys know who could safely repair this rim if @ all?
  4. hi anyone know if one could past from kalkbay side to lakeside today?
  5. I think the shimano RS10 wheels are not built to be 11 speed so they not gonna work. You can put a 11speed campy cassette on a 10 speed campy freebody without re-dishing the wheel which is an option for a wheel which has a shimano freebody for which you can get campy freebody. There is also cross-compatability between sram/campy/shimano cassettes on the back wheel irrespective of which of the 3 groupsets shifters, RD etc you are using.( check Lennard Zinn on velonews) Mavic 10 speed wheels easily take a 11speed cassette since they always had an extra spacer on the freebody. i just did this. You could for example just take a 10speed shimano set of mavics and pop a 11 speed sram or shimano cassette on it and run it with you campy.
  6. I am 175 and have a 52S C59 with a 100mm ritchey stem. And it works fine and I am not overstretched @all.It is a totally awsum bike The 50s could theoretically also have worked with a much longer stem. I would also think it would be easier to sell a 52s than a 50s secondhand as it would easily fit a greater number of people.
  7. I believe the knock off`s are already on our roads. Keep an eye out for M10`s with Fast forward wheels going round the peninsula.
  8. Sorry Cippo to schange topic slightly but have you seen Orca 2015?
  9. This really good advice. if you still sick then just don`t ride I would say that Corenza c, coryx and med lemon is not a good idea as they can further induce bronchospasm rather use non-aspirin flu preps.
  10. A Tiagra chain will also work cheaper @R299 http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/shimano-tiagra-cn4600-10sp-chain I would just put a dura ace chain on. I am sure even a 9000 chain should work
  11. It will be worth the effort to drive to Westlake branch to have your bike serviced by Shafiek ( shock and wheelbuilder extraordinaire) who will be based there now.
  12. <p> <br /></p> Of course! I stood on Turfhall Road for one to pass and acquired it for free!!! I got it from Complete Cyclist in jhb as you okes said on this thread
  13. Howzit dale? I have been riding mostly with my son. The Quarq was "sold" then buyer got cold feet when he had to hand over bucks and I got tired of all the stupid offers.
  14. Looks like I am gonna burn in hell. Gonna still go for setup thus have not finalized stem and fork height yet.
  15. Then its gonna have to be DA 7900. Campy record is so expensive and its not easy to get your hands on. will post pics when done
  16. I finally got myself a bike worthy of replacing my orbea. Unfortunately no money for campy. so its either gonna be dura ace 7900 or red 2013 which i have already. which one of the two?
  17. yes, where is registration? bound to be chaotic if only at boschendal
  18. Looks like guy abandoned race and gets out of way fellow riders in left shoulder. He walks on right shoulder facing oncoming traffic if memory serves me right from primary school that is the right way. He then takes a freewheel down a hill. Geez what's the big deal? Who would not do this if your bike is busted?So it never occured to you to stop to check if your fellow cyclist is ok? Instead your only thought is to get home to post on the hub to stir ****
  19. THe OP chooses to publically complain instead of contacting them directly. CTG takes his concerns seriously and call an meeting. The OP does not attend and surely CTG members were inconvenienced also.But he is now still gonna send his version to the PPa which makes we wonder if he was actually interested in hearing their side of the story and to engage in a constructive manner.
  20. Maybe the OP is not used to riding at the back but he was there not me. I have often been pushed to the side by all kinds fast moving groups. Sometimes they were caught between me and trafiic but not always. The attitude of some of these cyclists makes you swear.
  21. My one friends was stolen in ocean view and ended up by a “buyer” in lotus rivEr and he had to pay to get his own back
  22. looks like just another unsecured lending deal. They normally nail you on interest rate and screw you on insurance linked to finance
  23. Try Fiekie levy 0735330728 he is in ottery.
  24. V12man offered me a wired powertap sensor for free then duly sent it to Cape Town and did not even want postage money. There are still lots of good hubbers out there. Thanks a lot man. I appreciate it.
