  1. Those Jimny's has excellent 4x4 capabilities, and here in the Eastern Cape with the wild coast on our doorstep. it makes it quite a great car.
  2. MissionS, you seem to have some brake issues in your life before. Thanks for the tip, will definitely do that and see how far it gets me. The picture used was not from my bike, but one from the net just to illustrate that there isn't any cup and cone washers
  3. Sho, Froomey will need him.
  4. Dont worry, you're on the hub helping. Everyone is a hero!
  5. Thanks guys, I cant ride another baviaans with this issue.
  6. Cool, thanks a mil. Ja mine doesnt have any washers.
  7. I believe he was hit by a car?
  8. Copy image, then paste image
  9. Will go around tomorrow to get this sorted, thanks chaps.
  10. Okay, looks like this. http://fulminata.ru/images/stories/life_bike/life-bike-5.jpg
  11. Hahah, I'm from the avid appreciation club
  12. Makes sense, but how do I go about this now? The caliper will be standing in the air if I put anything underneath it.
  13. Not sure how to word it, but when tightening the bolts, clockwise, it moves the caliper on the bracket(caliper towards the rear wheel) and I can hold that brake in as hard as I like, it still moves, as if there is a groove that the screw wants to go into.
  14. y did you have to ask this question? they are avid XX
  15. I've pulled that brake with a bobejaan spanner boet, not working. I dont have any bushes or spacers either, I have tried using my fingers and tighten but still this doesnt help, because at first, when I press the caliper, it moves the rotor a bit and secondly, when I tighten the bolts, it still moves on the bracket.
  16. Hi Gents, need some help here from the tech guys. Okay, first, I'll admit, I also own a mtb, for those who didn't know. Long story short, I cant get the rear brakes to center. The bike stock comes with 140mm rotors, however when I bought it it had 160mm rotors and the caliper was bolted onto one of those 140->160 thingies. I've taken the calipers completely off, tighten them again but as soon as I do that, the whole bracket underneath the screw moves the caliper against the rotor, with a half a turn back it rectifies itself, however it moves again when I ride. and I have constant friction between pad and rotor. I've given up riding with my 29er for now, and riding my trusty 26er without issues. So please advise what else there is I could do. Thanks, have a great Friday and an absolute brilliant weekend.
  17. Nothing wrong with those imho.
  18. watched it last nyt, nogal siek how he pushes and pulls the other okes. I understand now why Robbie Hunter was so trigger happy, I wouldve given this chap a few klappe myself.
  19. Just ask Ryder Hesjedal, He rides them beeeeg
  20. I've got a set of Vectors, swop them weekly between bikes. Easy to set up and works perfect.
  21. I just had a lemon cream cookie with my coffee, it was delicious.
  22. I sucked on roller blades as a kid. One ride, one broken wrist. I went back to back yard tackle rugby
  23. Maybe some escapees can get away over the last two speedbumps?
  24. We need more commentators like the one in the Giro. I also think that's why a few people are battling to get into the groove of the TdS.
  25. I love you guys, always making me laugh and bring tears to my eyes. Please, love meant above is only platonic. I like girls. hahaha, like the one from Texas.
