So i have made the move to a disc brake road bike and absolutely love it. however i have an issue with the front brakes starting to be grabby and squirrely. to better explain the issue: under soft braking all is 100%. as soon as a brake harder the brakes start gripping and releasing as well as making a squirrely squeaking noise. its a bit un-nerving as it makes modulating coming to a stop difficult. i have tried the following: i removed the pads and cleaned them with a toothbrush and acetone. i then very lightly sanded the pads smooth with 320grit sand paper. a rinse in water and popped them back in. they looked like brand new pads again after this.i also used acetone to clean the discthe pads have plenty life left in them - i'd say 1mm or more and are flat without surface scratches.after the above it had to re-bed in the brake pads. for 50 odd KM it was smooth sailing with good brake performance and noiseless bliss! but it soon all reverted back which has left me scratching my head. does anyone have a tried and tested options i could look into?

my garmin has a tracking option. my wife and a few other people get emailed a link every time i go out for a ride. also have the crash detection on. if you stop fast enough it activates - it can be used if you are being hijacked. if it goes off it sends GPS co-ordinates to your designated people of the point where the alarm when off. so they can come to where the incident/crash took place.

go 28mm for the comfort and Gp5000's for RSA roads. good reviews online. alternatively i do like the Vitoria Corsa 2.0's are also really nice. they are expensive, and not quite as fast as the Gp5000's also steer clear of the Pirelli P-zero tires. they are so soft and have zero in the way of puncture protection.

if anyone has a Medium 120mm Blur i might be keen on it

its easy. this https://www.specialized.com/za/en/hotwalk-carbon/p/188009?color=303781-188009&searchText=94021-0005

OrangeSeal is coming into the country soon. i have it on good authority

They are open pretty early. Just don't expect food or coffee. They only serve after 9am. So for me the entire place is a no go

I have an issue with the top part of the site not being visible when viewing someones profile. see the attached. i have scrolled as high as i can. using the latest Chrome browser on mac.

the only reason i am posting here is because of the bug on your picture looking so legit

yep. can go deep in JHB. would not try in in the Cape. my 454's are great in JHB and a nightmare in CT

double post

this excites me. my Wifes Mazda did 125000km on a single set of toyo tires

that is exactly how i have it wired. and with android auto i now just ask google to open and close the garage and gate

i did both my gate and garage with this method. my switches looked different but the concept is the same - i used a dremel to cut my board. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p76OQI5Xx2k&ab_channel=CsongorVarga alternatively but the R600 switch that is made for gates and garages.

jumping off for 5 seconds to turn a fan on was never an option.

Oh this service is gold. Well done!

I believe they are actually struggling to get stock. That coupled with high demand. So there is likely very little they can do sales wise

does CWC have a thread this year?

this is the first year i really truely have no need for anything. it also feels like the first year very little has been done in relation to decent deals - sign of the times

there is no such thing as a 26" deal. maybe 10 years ago. but now they are a trap, parts are going to become impossible to find.

Admin please remove Reason: pornography

that legit?

I've order 2 off takealot and returned both. They both died as soon as any pressure was applied. I'm talking about the cheap R500 odd versions

Yep. the after sales service at Ikambi is the best i've experienced.
