Hi Guys I bought my first disc brake bike 2 months ago. Did the Burger Cycle Tour this weekend. As i do not have a bicycle rack, i colapse my back seat of my car, remove the bikes wheels and put the bike in up-side-down. Drove back to George today and when i wanted to assemble my bike again, i could not get my front wheels in. The gap between the brake pads were to narrow. The one pad of the back wheel is also rubbing against the disc. What happened and how do i fix it?

Sorry for asking a stupid question but is 11.4kg good or bad? Seeing that i am about 10kg overweight i have never blame the bike :-)

OK I bought the Silverback Spectra. The Merida 1000-D has the same components except the SB has better brakes and i think better hubs. Saw one one www.jowettscycles.co.za and phoned them for a price. Guy was very help full. The Merida 1000-D was going for R16 000. So you will be paying R5000 for a Merida badge. What big a difference can the frame make. Say it brakes, its got a lifetime guarantee. The Spectra is awesome and rides like a dream. PS. Anybody know of some good shelters. IR broke :-)

http://www.jowettscycles.co.za/Bikes/Merida/TwentyNine/tabid/69/Default.aspx I think this is a better match-up for the silverback spectra

Cycle and sports in George. When i asked the sales guy about why i should buy his merida instead of the SB, the best answer he could come up with is its a brand :-)

Hi I can not decide between these two bikes: http://www.silverbacklab.com/2011/spectra.jpg And http://www.merida-bikes.com/en_int/bike/41/MTB+Hardtail/MATTS+TFS+800-D Spectra R11 500 Merida R9 800 (and they said they will convert the rims and put on tubeless tyres for R700 more)
