  1. Thanks
  2. Hi I am searching for a Bianchi derailleur hanger for a Methanol Dual suspension. Quite urgent if anybody knows where to find one except J&J, on backorder. Union GH-131 hanger or Hanger 192
  3. Very entry level and not built for mountain biking, Makro or Game bike. Please do not buy
  4. In my opinion the first service is not actually a service but just a checkup if all bolts is tight and gears is moving correctly, brakes is braking and not rubbing. They just check everything and that must be free. Sorry for the OP to pay R300 bucks for a wash and lube.

    The Race: 213km of Gravel and Chaos The Strade Bianche route is more brutal than ever—213 kilometers with 16 gravel sectors, covering 82km of sterrato. That’s nearly 40% of the race off-road. The Contenders: Who Can Challenge Pogacar? Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert won’t be racing. Tom Pidcock as a key threat. Michal Kwiatkowski, and Maxim Van Gils, Marc Hirschi, Valentin Madouas, Ben Healy, Mathias Vacek, Attila Valter, and Davide Formolo. —beating Pogacar on his terrain is almost impossible. If he’s even just okay, he’s the man to beat. If he’s at his best… good luck. Women’s Strade Bianche: A Battle of Champions 136km route, with 13 gravel sectors covering 50km. The Contenders: Past winners Elizabeth Deignan (2016), Elisa Longo Borghini (2017), Anna van der Breggen (2018), and Demi Vollering (2023) all return. Also in the mix? Kasia Niewiadoma, Mavi Garcia, Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, and Olympic road race champion Kristen Faulkner.
  6. 1x12speed Deore Groupset. Nice Bike https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/797550/titan-racing-drone-pro Cheaper option but a good looking bike https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/794953/pre-owned-gt-comp-zaskar-m-bm10370-2023 Both have got decent gears so shifting wont be a problem
  7. I think that is correct, same pad The bib design is based off our second generation Corsa bib shorts, so they carry forward all of the fit and fabrication technology from these bibs. The defining feature of the Cargo Bib are the two side and two back mesh pockets, which offer extra storage space for stowing items you may need on your ride. Perfect for phone storage or keeping energy top ups at hand.

  11. If you go for a bike fit let them just roll the wheels and check if bearings/brakes all is not rough or rubbing. Bearings can also be a culprit even if the bike is new... Good Luck and remember it does not get easier you just go faster.
  12. It wil work, just a heads up if you replace the brakes, if the hoses was cut or too short it will require a bleed. gears will work.
  13. Here is some suggestions. depends where you live, Give your height to estimate a bike size for you Just some suggestions, look for a bike with hydraulic brakes and a air fork. Any Shimano deore gears makes life a lot easier. You can convert the tyres to tubeless yourself as I did with YouTube. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/784912/pre-owned-silverback-stride-10-m-bm10223-2013 https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/790873/gt-avalanche-10-mtb-size-m https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/791159/silverback-alphine-1-xt-discs-rockshox-air
  14. I use Fug It. Works okay and seals. Just need to top up regularly.
  15. You can consider this computer as well. I think it is a bit better than the Magene and almost same price. https://westdenecycles.co.za/product/wahoo-elemnt-roam-v1/ WAHOO – ELEMNT ROAM V1
  16. This one, the last bike you wanna buy https://bike-addict.co.za/products/titan-cypher-120-carbon-expert-se-2024
  17. This looks like a good bike, I would ride this...
  18. If I am in your shoes look at the following, for my purchase it made or break a deal!!! Air Fork Shimano Deore groupset (just reliable better shifting) 10 Speed or greater, other wise you will upgrade in the near future from 9spd Similar to this https://cwcycles.co.za/product/1013359-bike-mtb-ht-alu-slvback-stride-elite-my23
  19. Any of these bikes will ride lekker and will not be too heavy. Depends on your preference, I ride a Giant and loves my bike. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/road-bikes/774825/giant-tcr-large-campaqnolo-components https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/road-bikes/722829/felt-carbon-58cm-xl-campy

    Mtb saddle

    Bike fit is very finicky...suffered from numb hands. Resolved it by adjusting saddle 3mm forward. So little do a lot.

    Mtb saddle

    The Munga

    Big Respect to all that finished. I think the wind is making it the worst and messes with your head.. I heard that it was like a 800km headwind and then some side winds... Kudos
  24. For what its worth. had issues with changing gears on only 2 sprockets...chain would slip. almost as if i had a new chain on a old cassette. lo and behold the hanger was bend out of this world. when fixed was like new...
