what tires you using ?? that could also be the cause?

that is a kek LBS I would advise find a better one..

joh..hard to decide..i think guys im just gna use my current black jacks ..intill they worn out..then mayb get a mountain king for the front.or monorail..mmmm hard choice

i think some soap or something got in there...so today i was just riding in my yard and doing stoppies the whole afternoon and seems to be helping .. the power is starting to come back..

u guys doing this again any time soon?

any1 still doing night rides in pe??

ekse joe? your tannie make chicken samooosaz?? i smaak one now?

my bike took me to the kitchen at 3.05 am where i reset my rear derailler saved me R45

oh ok but now long do resin pads last? i have dont about 200km on my bike?? the breaks not feeling so sharp as they were.

ja but on the disc it says "resin pads only" but fook that .. coz resin pads not so lekka..looking for pads that will give me more stopping power.

sorry..i think i have the wrong disc..but my disc says "resin pads only" now is that just a marketing thing to get the user to pay forking R290 for resin pads..so u rate i can use any pads??

do they sell to the public?

Hi all i am wondering why i cant use other pads and can only use resin pads on my disc?? i have these discs http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/shimano-sm-rt62-disc-brake-rotor the reason why im asking is i washed my bike last week and now the breaks are not as sharp as they used to be. Im thinking of replacing the pads so was wondering why cant i just normal pads??

i think sum1 who has that money for a deposite would rather just buy the wheels themself??

exactly..if you realy appreciate your bike you will take care of it...just coz its a plaas bakkie doesnt mean the boerkie doesnt wash it and love his bakkie. (not being racist)

thats the one im using...im not using duct tape..(the thick sticky orgasmic stuff everyone uses.)

i think its my weight that helps me..i ride a singletrack every weekend almost it has all kinds of terrain..(sandy loam, loost sand, dirt road, mud, and a rocky decent but u see i weigh 59 so i skip over the top..my tyres dont realy dig into the ground and shoot up stones..but on my downtube i got normal black installation tape and that seems to be working fine.. but i dont wash my bike with anything that could have a slight chance of scratching it..ie i first wash the dust off 2 times then made soapy water mix then gooi that on to loosten any other dirt...then wash very carefully with a soft sponge.(those yellow and green ones for the dishes but i only use the yellow side ) this might give you no help at all.. but hey it works for me..

nothing wrong with having a nice looking and nice smelling bike

any btw if you have a black frame on your bike..put a strip of ducktape on the underneath side of your downtube there by your front wheel then you wnt get so much chips ... i dont ride like a moffie i just look after my bike even tho it costs less than a third of what most of you guys have..

dude you cant take chips out with polish ur need something like rubbing compound to take chips and scratches out..thats the only way ja u can try that **** they show on tv but this stuff has been proven to work and doesnt false advertise .. i have used the product for over 2 years and i can vouch for it..

thanks dude the stuff is called no-wet http://www.nowet.co.za/product_information.htm realy good stuff my father inported some and if u want to try it drop me a pm i realy recommend it..

my bike took me around the block and gave it some tlc today.. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/93245-polishing-my-bike/

just to let you know it took no effort at all..and took about 5 min to do..

jip it does it stops dust and dirt from sticking to the paintwork. the polish is not silicon based so it doenst attract dust ..thats how its different to all the other polishes..but its a polish but its not for taking out scratches just providing a protective layer that protects the paint..and stops dust collecting..in other words its sex.
