Thanks so much, got some of these and they work perfectly, strong as hell and soft on the frame ????

Awesome, I didn't even think of those, thanks @slickjay007 Thanks for all the advice guys, gotta love Bikehub

Those look pretty good, I'll pick up a set and give it a go. Thanks I see they have these too, might be a little easier on the frame https://www.outdoorwarehouse.co.za/product/flexi-tie-5-in-1-set-one-of-each-size-per-pack/6508 Yup it was cut shorter, 99% of the time its just my bike on it, so not too worried about the spacing

I'm open to all ideas. Might be worth investigating some of the other brands for something similar(and cheaper lol).

Thanks guys I've been looking at a solution for this, at the moment I use a rope strap. But I'd like to get something like this, just not sure where to get one.

Not really a conventional build project, probably not even a build or a project really, but let me show you my rack. So I recently finished building my bike, including a respray... On the first trip out I realized that my current hang-on rack was doing some damage to the bike. I needed a new rack urgently. With a baby drinking(and pooing) all our funds away, a shiny new rack from a showroom floor was out of the question. So I found a decent one, but it was in really bad shape, but hey, it was R500, so it was worth a shot, right? A few supplies: Some elbow grease and a grinder(I shortened the rack to a two bike one instead) All done and believe it or not, the wiring worked perfectly and nothing fell off, so a win in my books.

Hey guys I recently finished rebuilding my 2012 Stumpjumper FSR. I bought it here on BikeHub and initially it was supposed to be a "true the rear wheel and get a NW chainring" kinda build. 6 months(and a few undeclared rands) later and here we are

I haven't been on a bike since 2014, so its awesome to be back. Got myself a 2011 Giant XTC SL. So far I've just tried to make it slightly more uncomfortable.

I recently converted to singlespeed and I'm loving every moment of it This is my girl in her dirty clothes http://photostand.co.za/images/imkst01b69qx1gpd7hy5.jpg And this is her in her 94.7 kit http://photostand.co.za/images/b187816r713qin9nohqz.jpg I doubt I'll ever go back to geared or dare I say, suspension

You reckon it might be time to replace the crank all together?

Thanks, I actually forgot about them, they have been extremely helpful in the past! If it becomes too much of an issue I'll just look at replacing the crank with a more standardized one

Hey guys Hoping someone here could assist me My singlespeed uses a FSA Gamma Drive crankset, it in turn uses a 19mm spindle BB instead of the usual 24mm I've gotten as far as getting the correct part number but I cant seem to find the BB locally Anyone here know where I can buy a FSA BB-1000 19mm bottom bracket? Cheers Wedge Added a pic for legitness

Think I made a mistake in my pant :drool:

A few friends advised me to go rigid aswell, at first I was sceptical but its epic(just check your headset tension after each ride haha) http://photostand.co.za/images/yore5gs980uqei3q7uii.jpg Be a man! http://s.wsj.net/public/resources/images/OB-FL008_russel_E_20100204091525.jpg

I wont lie, I am very jealous! Those Cotic frames are amazing

So with the help of a friend and a few different chains and cogs I got the "magic gear" No more tensioner... ..for now http://photostand.co.za/images/09pt2kk12xwcgf9dtjs.jpg

So on Friday morning I woke up with the k** idea of building SS Rigid mountain bike. Budget being extremely tight(why is the budget always so tight?) I hit the hub searching for wallet friendly parts After spending most of Saturday finding the right parts and assembling it, this is what I ended up with http://photostand.co.za/images/bgotsyn8djswis9yhz2.jpg On Sunday I headed to Hakahana and did the blue route, man was I surprized, what an epic bike this is. http://photostand.co.za/images/8ixxtn8lbf2gour9zrn.jpg Not once did I wish for my creature comforts like gears and suspension(got no time fo dat) Next up would be to strip it down again and paintstrip the bike, also want to remove the cable tabs while I'm at it I also have a few issues with the chain slipping under some heavy climbing, but I modded the tensioner with a bigger wheel that seemed to sort the issue for now Will post again once it looks a little better
