  1. Website to determine approx value https://www.bicyclebluebook.com/
  2. Be carefull not to be forcefull otherwise you may break it
  3. Most probably hanger if it keeps on skipping. Stand behind bike and look to see whether derailer it is paralel to wheel. If not it is bent. Bikeshops normall have a tool to straIghten it. You can try bending it back by leverging it ever so gently. Just so you know, chances of getting it perfect by hand only very slim. May also not have full spread of gears afterwards and will probably need new hanger afterwards
  4. Can attest to this, have been pulled over myself a couple of years ago with a scissor rackobscuring numberplate and backlights Have sinc eswitched to a platform bike rack with its own lights and number plate
  5. Eish, i am normally paranoid with my bike on a rack on the open road. Keep looking backwards more oftern than ahead
  6. Why not train on old frame; unless you trabnsferred components
  7. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/170842-cape-epic-2018-international-team-entry-to-sell/
  8. Recipe for disastor. Mud are going to be biiiig problem on these
  9. Wheel flex on 28 much more noticeable, especially in cornering in fast turns
  10. My opinion, the more the stiffer the wheel. Extra weight gain is minimal. Also consider at least 3 x spoke crossing. In long run will have less broken spokes
  11. 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
  12. Do like Froome - train with round and switch to oval when racing.
  13. Leave it unless it is still leaking air. Remove at home and top up sealant.
  14. Secondhand - i will offer you R1000
  15. First of all, will you be able to fit a 10spd casette on your current freewheelbody, somehow doubt it if you have an 8spd. Find out whether you can otherwise it would mean that you would need to get a new hub as well. StRts getting to expensive then
  16. If you use same tyre a wider rim will give you a flatter profile to the tyre. Tyre will not bulge out as with a narrower rim. Should not be a problem with 2.1
  17. Groenkloof, saw the branch hanging across the trail, not as if I had not ridden underneath it before. However,forgot to duck this time and ended flat on my arse
  18. Try and get a non- factory towbar. STEELITE - makes great towbars. More than half the price of OEM towbars albeit not as detachable.
  19. one of the more repuatable ones, there are various threads covering this topic. http://www.light-bicycle.com/EN928-asymmetric-rim-profile-carbon-29-inch-mountain-rims.html
  20. Sounds to me as if the wheelbuilder stuffed up. Obviously it goes without saying that you need to have them build by a reputuable wheelbuilder
