  1. Found it-
  2. There was a roguemechanic youtube clip showing the quicklink riding high between sprocket teeth.
  3. Using a chain-check tool. But you can explain the finer details to me when I come visit in about 2 weeks time with my new mtb frame to build up and my road bike for a service. I'll leave the Shimano 10-speed quick link on for you to see.
  4. The sexy DA cranks are definitely on topic Do I need to edit my post? Or does your edited post resolve the off-topic issue?
  5. Oops, it's late, sorry about the S word! Do we have to get overly technical?
  6. Somehow distributors are supplying Buycycle at comparable prices to CWC, so it can be done! Well done Chris!
  7. Comes with the 7900 chain I think. But the pins work better. Looks like the quicklink wears prematurely with dirty conditions. My chain has been making a horrible noise lately. Checked the chain wear, and it was stretched only over the quick link! Googled it and found a few other guys with the same problem.

    Prestige Ulltra

    Won't get our entry fees back but would be nice if the organisers would at least give us some sort of discount for the next race.
  9. Turned out to be a nice sunny afternoon in Joburg. Sun still out, blue sky, but raining again!

    Prestige Ulltra

    So, who actually raced this in this weather? Was so looking forward to hitting the Olympic distance hard today, but this incessant rain was a major turn-off. And my wife and daughter definitely didn't feel like sitting in the car for a few hours.
  11. Loving my 310XT. Although it doesn't give accurate tracking on the swim, with the software update it gives fairly accurate distance when you check your splits afterwards. I find it locks onto GPS signal faster than my 305. It's a nicer shape than the 305 too. I've got the quick-change strap so can use it on my bike stem too, and fits the same mount as the Edge500 (305 bike mount only fitted straight on the handlebars.)
  12. This sucks. So much for my triathlon this morning
  13. Anyone else ordered from Bikeinn? Cool website I hadn't seen before for online shopping. Think I might be visiting them more often...
  14. Bought the neutral Edge 500 no extras for R1800 all incl. last week from CRC.
  15. Finally found some reviews! The shifters look like a bad idea, but can maybe modify my X.0 shifters to use with the Recon 10 speed cassette on my 9-speed drivetrain. http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?p=6612509#poststop http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=581678
  16. http://www.recon-harry.com.tw/products.html still looking for a review... A friend should have his here in the next two weeks hopefully

  18. About 5 orders this year. Hopefully it stops there!
  19. You're still ok - The competition starts on 25 October 2010 and ends on 30 October 2011.
  20. has anyone been able to find out more details on this stuff? reviews?
  21. Anyone seen this stuff? Looks cool! Upgrade to 10 speed for 145euro. No need to change to 10 speed chain or anything else (9speed chain lasts longer). But I can't find any reviews or more info on it anywhere... http://www.jpracingbike1.com/www-jpracingbike1-com-english-bbNaaaiva.asp

    Hope rotors

    I'm using Hope Mono Mini Pro disk brakes and need new rotors. I've been trying to find the difference between the Hope Mono Mini/M4 Floating Saw Disc rotor and the Hope Disc Mono Mini Pro Lightweight rotor, with no luck. Anyone here that can help me?
  23. JB's the man - took 3 dents out of a ZTR355 rim for me
  24. These newer rib cages are great. I think they cost about R200. But you still have to have the right bottle/cage combo. I find the Bontrager bottles fit best - the indented lip is in just the right spot. I also put some extra silicone in a few spots to make an even tighter fit.
