  1. I've not ordered from their site, but the phyiscal address and phone number on the Monton site is all Northcliff Cycles details, so i think its just a formalisation of the distribution. I just called and confirmed with them that website sizing is the european fit, but there is a size guide
  2. It doesn't answer your question, so excuse the unsolicited recommendation, but don't sleep on Monton. https://www.montonsa.co.za/products/SKULL-Bib-shorts-Black-Men-p435755048 I chanced a pair about 2 years back and now alternate 4 sets and won't bother with anything else. Bought at Northcliff Cycles. Got to check fit and colours first and even got a little discount.
  3. i did this on a giant escape with 105 5601 shifters. kept the stock brakes for a while until i found a cheap shimano r353 front which is 90mm (so semi mini-V) and a slight upgrade. i will still consider the Tektro 926 down the line. it works perfectly well, considering: the pads need to be close to the rim to minimise lever travel wheels must be true, or will cause gentle rub because of the spacing 38mm tyres needed to be deflated, or v-brake unhooked to remove wheels the stock wheels are a great width and setup easily. i recently changed to a maddux rear (same int width) but is a little wider outer and harder to set the brake position
  4. if you're running the Scoop shallow, but width is an issue, maybe check out the Line. Scoop only comes in 142mm, while the Line is mainly available in the 134mm, but only the Shallow profile (no flat or radius). I've got Scoop Shallow with different rails on all my bikes. Had a Line for a while, thinking the relief channel would be a win. it was torture and i ended up with saddle sores. what a difference 8mm makes. local retail prices are insane - I've been eyeing another off the CRC clearance sale.
  5. i am hoping someone can help me out with a lockring for a cateye light mount. i think the computer mounts use the same thing, so maybe if someone has a busted light/computer and one of these lying around? thanks.
