Gooday Does anybody have a wiring diagram for the Cyclec dynamo light/charger controller? The diagram I received from the suppliers is impossible to decipher. I have tried to contact them but I don't think they are in business anymore as they do not answer mail or calls. Hope you can help.

I agree 100%

Very true. Beware over festive season as it is even worse at this time. No go for me anymore. I will, say there are no safe roads to ride on with the likes of cane trucks sharing the road with you and dropping cane on the road, etc, etc. Ballito has grown too fast for safe cycling anymore. Beware out there.

Have you tried petrol and a brush to separate the two halves instead of a heat? It will leave a better seal when closing.

Gooday, I have this Novatec CL hub and was wondering if it is worth using it to build a wheel? I sounds and feels fine (heavy) and could even use the driver on a Shimano hub if it will fit? Anybody know anything about this hub? Worth anything or paperweight material? (Tried to Google but no luck hence the questions) Thanks in advance

This looks like Ageratum which is an invasive alien plant!. Terrible things!!! Beautiful but dangerous as they say.

SLX chainring - more than 25 000kms KMC/Sram chain - about 15 000kms Cassette - about 8 000 (Cheapest used) 9sp MTB - I use oil on my drivetrain and clean often. Seems to be working.

I have heard Republic is closing down the shop side of things. There is some good news in that Toni Pedro will remain in his workshop for the next two months and then move into his own premises close by. This is great news because Toni is highly regarded as the best bike mechanic in Durban. I have experienced this when he did some work for me which no other mechanic in Durban could do ( I have tried most of them). Since then, he is my go-to person when I have messed up in my attempts at home mechanic endeavors.

Yes indeed. The older you get the cheaper Redshift becomes!

Let the truth be spoken.

Thanks Droo, Too old (reckon I could be one of the oldest on the Hub???) to break chains under load but point taken in all seriousness. When top bike workshop people reply I have to listen.

Has anybody tried any of these chains? Looking for advice and recommendations as these are half the price? If they last half the time of a Shimano/Sram chain then they could be worth it to me? Any other suggestions will be appreciated. Thank Chain.file

I absolutely agree! It has always been like that it seems. Used to ride there often. Prince Albert has more to offer for one day when a couple of tired cyclist ride through.

Me too. The instructions above seemed to have worked.😀

Great bloke, incredible insight and and always offering advice and suggestions when asked which made me think he had a heart of gold. Sorry about his passing......RIP
