middle bike in first... tension on tie down is not heavy

Something like this ????? takes 3 bikes pm me for details

have you tried rush sports and their ENDURO range of bearings ????

meguiars make some great polishes ( not cheap tho ) can find at Makro / Midas / Builders Express

hi Best is to have the frame acid dipped to strip old finish off the frame ..... a sprayed finish will give you a smoother & higher gloss finish compared to powder coating . however powder coating will be the most durable

hi there, buy yourself a 2nd crank ( deore ) which has a 48 - 36 - 24 chainrings on it . fit it to your bike and adjust the front derailer to run as close as possible to the larger rings as possible .then you just need to change cranks to suit where your cycling . You mite need to use a 2nd speedlink and one link of chain with the larger chainrings

just phoned GREG will have to check and see if he can get again

hi i ve tried all the shops in the DBN Ptn area

hi yes i have , cant find one in the DBN bike shops

hi sorry , wanting to know where i can get alloy steerer tubes from ???

thanx for the replies think its going to be the michelin tyres that i will use

thanx guess its a flip of a coin to make the choice .they are both fast rolling tyres

Good Morning which would be the better choice of tyre to use in the Karoo 2 Sea race ? choice is between the Michilen XC Dry 2 and the Kenda Small Block 8 . Not running tubeless. i ve never done this race before and dont know the terrain we will cover. thanx in advance for the advice

thank you

hi .... can anyone tell me if Mavic wheels have a weight limit looking at the CROSS RIDE and CROSS TRAIL .

hi there you can get a Shimano Deore front crank set which has 48 / 36 / 26 chain rings on it . your std front derailer should work with this no problem . you ll just have to move the derailer up a little to accomadate the larger chain rings

try south coast cycles in toti .... he had some 2nd hand blade spokes

if you think about selling your old Tora let me know please ....

hi .... fit a pair of SPECIALIZED 26x1.24 slicks or if wanting a bit more comfort fit MICHELIN 26 x 1.4 slicks ..... which ever you fit , inflate to max and enjoy your ride

would not recomend that route... worked a lot with carbon fishing rods and its a no no ...acetone evapourates very quickly . paint stripper does not .....paint stripper is far more aggressive

hi only way to strip old coating off is to sand it by hand .using fine water paper wet pref with some dish washing soap / liquid to act as a lube

sorry .... hijack ..... what price would the SLX go for ?

hi MICHELIN make a 26 x 1.1 as well as a 26 x 1.4 DONT think you ll find the 1.1 s in SA . the 1.4 s are really great and super fast plus they still grip well in wet conditions . i ve got them on my spare wheel set for road training SPECIALIZED make a 26 x 1.24 with built in puncture protection . i find the MICHELINS roll better and more comfortable

hi a SLX 11 X 28 cassette should work fine on your set up . i m using it on a SCOTT with 105 setup
