  1. My rear shock started to leak oil at the rebound adjuster today . Does anybody know who can do a full service on these shocks or even who would sell the spare seals and springs for these shocks .
  2. Does anybody know if we will be able to take our cycles with us ?
  3. It is the same as any market . Go to any dealer and ask for dealer prices and they are going to bend you over . Aftermarket is always cheaper . Chill People .
  4. TUBLESS all the way . I was one of those sceptics about tubless . Did the conversion 6 months ago and have not looked back . I used to run sealant and linners . Did the conversion and drop a kilo of the bike.I have had a couple of thorns through the tubless system but it just seals up as you ride . I have spent more on tubes and sealant than i did doing the tubless conversion . I am a heavy rider and tubes are a no go.
  5. After a good hard ride me nor the bike smokes . Maybe not riding hard enough . Never checked if i smoke after sex either sorry .
  6. check if there is slight free play on the lever for the fluid to return back into the resivoir . Remove the cap of the resivoir so that the inside of the resivoir can climatize to the out side pressure . Some times from traveling to different alltitudes the pressure in the resivoir gets too much and keeps on pushing pressure on the caliper . some small things to try .
  7. I rode the medscheme Walkerville race today . Only did the 40km and ended up doing 46km but the race was really good . the uphills were well rewarded with great technical fast down hills . TO THE POINT : The 60km loop was lead by a lead bike witch was a racing yz450f quad . The guy riding the quad was not wearing a helmet . When questioned the race organizers about this they told me that he is ridding slowly and he knows all the dangers . Sorry to bitch but 60 km on a racing shopping trolly that has a mind of its own . No helmet no race/ride!
  8. My wife is slowly getting into riding and has been riding for a year now . She is looking for a group of women or individuals to ride with during the week . She is not fast and does all the 35km mtb races . She needs some one to train with durring the week because we are a little scared to let her ride buy her self . We are in the fourways /Northgate area . Please PM us if you know of any begginer groups during the week . Off or on road .
  9. I have just fitted a carbon bar onto my mongoose teocali . Not only for the weight but they are shorter They measure 620mm and the old one were 660mm. I did a race on Wednesday and found that the bike was much more controlable , especialy through fast corners , Thick sand and climbing rocks . Any one else notice a difference from shorter bars or do i Just feel better becasue they look better
  10. Sorry to hear it . Its become a matter of when, no more if.
  11. I got the new ride magazine today where they talk about the third screw adjustment on the rear derailer and how the derailer wheel must only be 5-6mm away from the sprocket . I noticed my derailer wheel was about 25mm away from the sprocket and noticed the only thing holding it so far away from the biggest sprocket was the chain . took a chance and chopped the chain and walla it worked . Engineer NO , Doctor maybe
  12. Have posted before about a **** gear change on the rear and took it to the shop i Baught the bike from and they replaced the cable , inner and outer to rectify the problem witch did not help the problem . After nearly pulling all my hair out with this problem I sorted it out my self . I worked out the chain was 1 and half links too long . Chopped the chain and braught the derailer closer to the sprockets . The gear change is now silky smooth and changes perfectly every time .
  13. My wife has a shelf full of different chammy creams . But has found that fissen cream for babies bums works the best and can be baught at any supermarket or shop . She says it helps . Have never tried sorry .
  14. I have the formula hubs with discs on my mongoose . I want to know if I can remove the cup and cone bearings and fit sealed deep groove bearings . If possible where can I find the axle to accomodate these bearings .
