Hi folks Does anyone know where(in SA) I might buy brake pistons for older XT (M785)brakes. Either original or these aftermarket ones on Amazon. Tnaks, Rodger

Hey folks Thanks for sharing great thoughts! Started core exercise. Must still look up what 'Bird dog\ Dead Bug' are. heading to physio tomorrow. It is now clear that I have to do maintenance exercise as a way of life. Have many great rides, Rodger

Hi folks I am really enjoying my mountain biking, but every few months I go through a period of back pain. Have had this pain occasionally for decades(am 57). Can anyone reccomend exercises(core?) that support their cycling? Thanks, Rodger

Hi Droo, thanks so much! Done and dusted! The thread in the boss was a bit messed up, so getting the new screw in was a bit of a mission, so I used as large a washer, 3cm wide, as I could find to apply pressure to the boss, while screwing the new screw in. Have a lekker day, Rodger

Hi folks My bottle-cage broke, so, no biggie(I thought), buy a new one, and unscrew the two bolts that screw into the frame. But one of the bolt-inserts, in the frame has broken loose from the frame, and now it just turns. It is the top one in the photo. Grateful for any thoughts/experiences. Rodger

Hi there! Is this all gravel, or is there some single-track?

Thanks so much for all the replies. There is something about asthma that makes one feel isolated, and this is clearly not the case.

Hi Folks Rodger here. I am 56 and ride mtb two or three times a week, for about the last three years, and love it. But the last couple of months have suffered from asthma, about 30-40 minutes into the ride. I now keep a salbutamol inhaler, with me. But it is impacting on my riding and the enjoyment of it. Doing other kinds of exercise (martial arts), seems fine though. Anyone had similar experience? Thanks, and be safe, r

Thanks so much! I am in Wynberg.

Thanks so much! Already feel more equipped to make the call.

Hi folks, I have to replace my drivechain on my MTB, and thinking of converting from my older 3X9 Shimano HG to a 1X10 system. Looks like the 1X set-up will cost at least 1/3 more, and wondering if it is worth it? Any thoughts/advice most welcome. Rodger
