  1. Just an obsefvation - how many secondhand Scotts do you see on the hub as opposed to Giants
  2. No duty, only VAT on this side. If you are not in a hurry CRC by royal & SA postage 10-14 days if no delays or strikes. Otherwise go for reputuable corrier like DHL
  3. no problems - bought a fork. 2-3 weeks
  4. As can I, with the current exchange rate mtb is becoming ridiculously expensive
  5. They have since new routes - http://www.klapperkop.org.za/
  6. I don't even want to start. At the start we turned left intending to ride up the to daggapad (on the alternative route - not the cement path), miems; railway line, oom Piet and then on to the river. I would have been totally lost had I not done some of the VG routes in the past. Some of my mates, visiting VG for the first time, admitted that they would not have been able to navigate the route because of the lack of clear markings. My experience - I Saw signs lying on the ground or showing the wrong direction or even contradictory directions. The river, which in the past has always been one of the highlights coming back to VG, IS BLOCKED OFF!!!! On leaving I noted that there was an obvious, as opposed to the past, lack of cars with bicycle racks. There VG will not be seeing me soon obviously others feel the same way.
  7. Did VG today after a long absence. Dismayed at lack of signage and trials in general. What is going on?
  8. Nie so seer die maak van nuwe pype nie, maar eerder die installasie in die "crown" van die vurk
  9. Sorry, may also be able to do it if you just change spider on the crank - depending on the type of crank
  10. Would need a new crank arm, simply dropping a ring would not do anything about chainline
  11. can convert any bike to 1/2/3 ring crank. swapping the cranks out is more problematic depending on the BB the various bikes take. There are adapters on the market for GXP to press fit - I however do not know the longevity thereof
  12. 100kg, i run between 1.4(frt) - 1.6(rear) on tubeless tyres
  13. If the rear hub gets cacked up in mud again, remove cassette and free wheel body and give them a good clean before riding again. Mere rinsing it off is not good enough, the grime/mud tends to get past and into the mechanism
  14. Like you say, long shot. Do they even make them in XXXL?
  15. Freewheel hub body either dirty or it packed up in which case will mean a replacement
