The chain still slaps the chainstay and it sounds painfull. That is the chainguard but you can only use it with a braze on derailleur.

The manufacturers will not drop their prices to R200 for which these thugs sell their loot.

If it has a carbon steerer tube, NO NOT use a starnut. Get an expander bolt, FSA makes a good one. Before you install the cranks, cover the chainstay with tape. Also get one of those chain catcher/guide goodies that's on sale in the classifieds.

But there's only a handful of them.

We don't go to Capetown. We go to Margate where you can actually swim in the sea.

Like you say, you grow up around the beach. That does not mean women. What's that they say about CT being the gay capital.

So that's the reason he is so skinny, she steals all his food.

Justin Bieber is gonna star in the new Transformers movie. He's gonna portray the part of Fagatron.

"beach w@nker"? Why did they not just say Capetonian?

But you know they are like Lance Armstrong. No one dares say something bad about them.

If it looks too good to be true, it's a fake.

It dos not lock completely. It just stiffens up. I use to ride with mine on the "close" setting and only when things got rough doing downhill would I open it to completely open.

They don't sell fakes, do they? Grey (parallel) imports, in the case of CWC, are not illegal anymore.

I thought it was another hi-jacking thread. "You ta or I shoot".

Like I said in the other fred. Replica and fake must not be confused. Fakes are crap and replicas are most times the same as what the pros wear. Sometimes they make it from a lower grade material so that it is more durable but it is still made by the original manufacturers. The TdF "replicas" in the classifieds are fakes, not replicas.

I use to work for the sign company that painted the Benson & Hedges on the cricket pitches. It is alot of work getting the angles right.

Correct. Replica kit is still made by the correct manufacturer, fakes are not. There is a big difference between fake and replica. I've got a fake Springbok top. Have never worn it in public as I'm too embarrassed to. If people complain about the price, then live without it. I can't afford to eat at larny restaurants, so I eat at the Wimpy. If it is important to you, save up for it of worse, buy on the credit card.

I'm for replicas if that floats your boat. But I would will never pay to advertise someone else's products. While I was waiting for the final paperwork on my car to be finalised, I peeled of the dealer sticker on the back window. They are not paying me.

People don't know the difference between replica and copy.

In that price range and cheaper then the Sidis are the Specialized MTB sport. Extremely comfortable.

Remove old cable and feed through new cable. Now remove housing from other (open) end and feed through new housing.

Just don't go too far, too fast. Remember. Even if you still feel fine at 50km, you still need to ride 50km back.

For the past few days in the car I'm stuck on the Sigue Sigue Sputnik Album "Flaunt it".

Why do you have to get use to it? Ride what is comfortable to you.

YAWN!!!!
