  1. This warrants a Thread on its own man.You got good service at Cajees.
  2. I have a team entry on my name that I have untill tomorrow to pay which i dont need since my mate paid for one already. If anyone wants it
  3. Fieki services shocks for reasonable bucks call him 0735330728
  4. Your comment about hub pricing being high is not entirely fair as the first owner had taken a big knock on the bike and you are merely reselling a second hand bike which the owner was desperate to sell. I sold my immaculate spark elite 29er within 2days for 18k but then again I had ac wheels with schwalbe snakeskin tires on and a carbon bar and I took a knock of about 9.5k on it after 1year
  5. I saw some Enve rims hanging @Olympic Cycles in the week I am sure they could build you a pair
  6. I like the feel of the tubeless tires. i have a pair of american classic tubeless wheels and the Hutchinson tires which is an incredibly light combination. The tires seated easily on rims and I am just using stans. I just pumped it up with a floor pump. I however had problem with the Hutchinsons tires in that their bead collapsed but they were replaced by wiggle under warranty. I also spoke to Talus, and he has been running Fulcrum Racing Zero rims with Fusion 3 (TUBELESS) and Stans for more than a year with no problems. i would like to try the Schwalbe also but gotta ride these finish first
  7. you do not have to collect in person so get someone to collect for you.
  8. Now here is a man speaking who should be worried with the way he and his team were riding @ TDF. Oh , sorry its his swimming coach that made the difference. Maybe Ryk Neethling must become coach of mtn!!!
  9. I presume they are new tires that came folded up? I have on ocassion after struggling put a tube in and pump it up to 4bar to get the bead straightened out and left it overnight. normally its easier to do then
  10. I stand corrected but did Lance not win all his TDF on Shimano rather than Sram? He made his comeback on Sram? And he only swapped his Shimano pedals for look pedals so that he would be able to ride his Teammate`s bike if there was no service vehicle around. Just so we know which manufacturer to boycott or does this mean both???
  11. I have entered my son again for second time and paid the same. Knowing what it meant for my son when he did it @age 11 for first time and for father/ son bonding; it is dirt cheap at R1000.
  12. I have a Craft one which is breathable and far more water repellent than others I have tried. i have remained dry in heavy rains and my mates were all soaked.
  13. Looking to buy some Hutchinson Road Tubeless tires. where can I get them?? Locally if possible and what do they cost. Thanks guys
  14. [ When Crc send stuff to RSA they remove Uk vat and send it vat free.We then pay 14 %vat here only but if you have it delivered in the UK even if you pay from here they dont remove UK vat. I made a mistake current UK vat is 20%. You may not actually be saving that much if duty on a full bike is 15%.
  15. i was going to get a edge 500 from CRC but WWW.easygis.co.za is cheaper although I am getting it a week later cause they had no stock when i ordered.
  16. You actually paid 18% UK vat first then 14% vat when it landed here. so its much the same.
  17. Ratty if you really want one I am sitting on a full basket @ CRC and i can put it in for you.
  18. Yep it is cheaper @ CRC than what i paid for it two months ago. I think CWC had it on one of their Bday sale for about R800 though.
  19. I will second this. Bought one from CRC for my wife and she loves it. Rode her bike the other day and was surprised how comfortable it is. You can get one from CWCycles for a bit more. http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/selle-italia-diva-gel-flow-saddle
  20. Hi guys was there import duty on the edge if you bought it overseas?

  22. I really dont like how Discovery wants to take over your whole life. I am sometimes quite pissed off at the discount Discovery members get at Pick n Pay which are much better than their loyalty card.
  23. Did the same.
  24. I agree with you. On the old bottles there were clear markigs as to how much concentrate you must use to make a liter. It just is not user friendly anymore.Powerade still has markings.
