Chicken or the egg ? You are riding it and no one can be more you than you

Gedore are thin alternatively we have hand ground sockets on a grinder before

At DylanFH Hats off to you for coming on this site and asking what you have. I feel that shows intent to do a great job and wish you all the best in this undertaking .Biggest problem is to listen to people and HEAR what they are looking for. May your branch go from strength to strength

Tyre taken to LBS Who were rather concerned. Continental not interested so I phoned Ray of Continental in JHB Who admits to seeing a lot of rub strips tearing away from the tyre wall. Promptly informed me under inflated told him that at 2.1 bar it could not be underinflated,then told me my brake blocks could have chafed the tyre ,Dear Ray I have disc brakes, Wheel rim must be rough or chafed not so ,wheel must be out of true not so . Dear Ray I now realise what I did wrong I BOUGHT CONTINENTAL as this is the second tyre that has failed in the same way on two different bikes with two different riders

Today we had a second failure on a Continental tyre both have torn away at the beading resulting in blow outs one was a Mountain King and the other is a Race King 2 months old +_100km tyres inflated at 2.1 bar .Walls seem very poor and weak at the join to the beading . Has anyone else had similar problems tubes are used in them

Otero,s do not have many fans

An eeze out should work can buy them in sets at a tool shop .They have a tapper and an anticlockwise thread which locks in the allen key hole when turned anticlockwise ,at other times you can grind a pyramid tapper on the hardened steel of an old ezee out and that also works

Have four sons and cycle with all four and have two grandsons methinks his theory sucks

And so whats unusal about that

At pauloc we have got tired of approaching Tread cause at times they dont even bother getting back to us .Looks like i kicked a hornets nest here

They have tried the post office one awhile back .We deal with paintball equipment and never have a problem with the post office other than time delay on the odd occasion .Changed address to a P O Box which did not work.Funny Postoffice seem to have fancied all our copies

About 2 or 3 months ago i posted re the non arrival of Tread magazine subscription was given many explenations etc .The problem still exsists and has not been rectified . Once again the magazine was on shop shelves about 2 weeks ago and subscription still not received. NB not a single subscription has been received this year without a lot of bitching and moaning . We are at our wits end with regard to this problem . PLEASE DONT GIVE ANYMORE EXSCUSES BECAUSE THAT IS ALL THEY ARE. This problem needs to be rectified as it was a gift from one person to another and has been far from that
