  1. Sorry forgot to mention, it only rubs when in the big ring.
  2. Ok have resolved the ticking over sound from the cassette area, using the barrel adjuster on the rear mech, but now the chain is rubbing against the front mech. Any ideas?
  3. problem is Iv taken this bike on holiday with me, to ride and have discovered the issue now while being away
  4. Hi Guys I recently bought a new bike and have just gotten delivery of it, but it makes an odd ticking over sound from the gears or cassette. Its like its struggling to change but im not changing. It doesnt battle to change gear and it gets particularly loud in the middle gears. Any idea what to do? Its 11 speed ultegra.
  5. Im specifically looking for one that has a classifieds as comprehensive as ours is. What to get a few things for when im there and doesnt warrant buying brand new.
  6. So we have the bikehub, what do people abroad, specifically the UK use to buy and sell? And Rant?
  7. Does anyone have any idea how much it would cost to courier a bike to the UK from JHB? Who is the best to use? How long will it take? Or is it easier just to fly with it yourself.
  8. What is considered regular maintenance?
  9. No idea why my reply didn't add. But Wheel Builder I'm looking for something light and most importantly fast. Any idea on what sought of options you may have? I know that's very vague.
  10. Any idea what these cost? I'm looking for something to train on and the very odd race. Something like the Easton ea70s or so.
  11. Hi guys. Are hand built wheels significantly better than the big manufacturers wheels like Easton or mavic. Where's the best place in Cape Town to have wheels built?
  12. After having sold and bought many items on thehub without a single problem. I am quite bleak at how ethics have dipped. Iv been trying to sell a bike and yes is slightly pricey but it is honestly basically brand new and I am still negotiable. I'm also completely willing for any buyer to come a view said bike no problem, even willing to come out closer to wherever they are. It is due to the ethics of a few "buyers" and more recently my own lack of enthusiasm that I still sit with said bike and my advert looking like a dud as it's been around too long. Had I been slightly unethical and sold it to number 2 in the queue it would probably be gone but I tried to do the honourble thing. Yet I'm still sat with the bike.
  13. To be fair. You can't expect them to take all suggestions into account on their first try. They had to learn from their mistakes. Plus how close was it to race day? I'm sure a certain amount of humble pie has been eaten since last year. And we have time on our side to make suggestions to them. If enough people are willing I'm sure we could organize a gathering to give input.
  14. Instead of complaining about the race. Why don't you contact the organizers with suggestions instead? I happen to know they are riders actually. Not as experienced as many on here but they do want to improve and highlight the sport and the areas in which we play. I know for a fact that they would take considerations into account. So be constructive. Not just armchair critics who think they know more than anyone else.
