They do stock them ... They're just usually out if stock ... So when you can get, buy more than one ...Thanks! Went to a local spaz shop, who said they don't sell them, and that people just use normal tubes. Managed to find a specialized tube at revolution cycles in town.
You know what the problem is with those horrifically expensive tubes ? I land up giving away 9 out of 10 tubes that i buy when out on the trails. I'd be proper hesitant to do so with a R500 tube...Tubolito was R480 at LBS , leaves space for other spares and is stronger than normal tubes , good investment I think
Yup as per previous post, you have to get the Spez tube to fit into the SWAT box... it rolls up smaller than standard tubes but also comes sealed in plastic with powder to keep it dry. Fits perfect and 'keeps fresh'...
My experience with the newer Garmin straps is that they might be more comfortable but they don't last - I've had two where the rubber has slightly peeled off on the end. Apparently even the slightest tear here causes the system to short out. I believe that they will warrantee but only if within the original 1 year period but i didn't try because mine were "1 day outside of warrantee"... Even the elastic component is not lasting very long and you can no longer replace just this - you have to replace the whole strap...
Saw this on FB
I believe cycle lab are open
I'm sure I warrantee replacement is in order - contact your LBS

Bloody hell people, the roadie reference was joke... nudge nudge wink wink... chill out... and no, I've never played golf... been a mtb'r for the most part of 15 years...Why are you assuming roadies are the goody two shoes idiots that complained? Are you an ex golfer mtber?
LOL... [emoji6]... I couldn't resist....Watch your mouth son.
Officially "all public parks are closed and out of bounds"... Crazy and Stupid indeed...
Apparently the cops were in Delta Park last Sunday giving out warnings... Crazy and Stupid indeed...
But this was because of a whole lot of 'goodie two shoes' couch potatoes who didn't have Netflix and Showmax so they were looking out their windows for people to complain about... Crazy and Stupid indeed...
Not maybe a stolen (genuine) bike ?Thanks All,
Yes a very good looking S Works was for sale in Centurion, obviously not advertised, for sale by hearsay and selling other parts on Facebook, however some other poor soul bought the bike before I has a chance to expose this. Hope they realize its a fake.
Pvt msg me - I'll give you a contact to start withHi all,
Im looking for a person that knows the Specialized / S works MTB brand very well.
I have a few frame specific questions regarding genuine frames vs Chinese copies.
Thanks
Why can't I see the link to the post in my feed ?
And don't forget that most retailers were discounting the kickr4 to R18k prior to lockdown...
As per other comments above, I'm waiting to pick up a 3 month old (hardly used) kickr4 for R12k about a month or 2 after we're all allowed out...
And then the new prices will start to be heavily discounted...
Or get a different bike... [emoji6]Chainring size will affect the anti-squat numbers. Going to a smaller chainring will give more anti-squat (less bob) vs a large chainring which will give less anti-squat (more bob). The same will apply for an oval ring. Set the bike up with the correct sag numbers and ride it. Going up in pressure to eliminate bob will also eliminate the benefits of rear suspension i.e: traction and comfort. Pedal bob with a correctly setup bike is nothing to worry about, sure it saps the tiniest bit of energy, but so does friction in your drivetrain. If you absolutely mist get rid of it, engage the bike's lockout, get your shock tuned with heavier compression and rebound valving or get a hardtall
Pedal Bob annoys me and makes me sea sick... Hence Spez EPIC with brain for me... But I think that's maybe another discussion altogether...
I'm not sure that I get the small Vs large chainring concept you explained but I'd be really annoyed if I had to go to a smaller chainring to avoid Bob and then loose massive top end on gearing...
Interesting question and thanks for posting. I just bought a new bike (got in 2 rides before the lockdown) and as such, changed from 2x10 to 1x12 and hence pondered the question as to 34T oval or round. In the end, I went for round as most of my mates and people I spoke to personally, said that the oval either hurt their knees or made zero noticeable difference to their rides. Not one person claimed a benefit. Anyways, as to the BOB issue, I tested a few bikes before I made my choice and found that some bikes, the Bob was inherent in the suspension design, even after pumping the shock higher than recommended for my 82kg mass.
If I were you, I'd up the shock pressure but also try a round ring and then an oval and see for yourself. I'd love to hear your feedback on this experiment (after the lockdown of course).
Everyone using sunlight liquid, clean green or car wash - seriously, look on Facebook for ecologics and make the change - toy won't be upset. I don't own shares in the company ! I'm just super fussy and really impressed with this stuff & it's very cost effective. And they're allowed to sell and deliver during lockdown...
Get yourself ecologics and use this for everything on your bike, kit and round the house. It's brilliant stuff, antibacterial, degreaser, and "green". It comes super concentrated and we use it in different dilution ratios for different objectives.

I take Texa every morning since Jan this year - seems that allergies are worse now more than ever - but also this time of year after the Dec / Jan rains.You can get some Texa over the counter and drink one a day (not as strong as the above mentioned ones - also not too sure that this will help though)
The other alternative may be some compression socks that go up to the knee or just below it?
Long socks is pretty much the best measure for itchy legs though - we also try avoid the thicker grass 1st thing in the morning when it's still wet with dew.
