  1. Attack/Robbery this week at the MTB track in Kempton, Monument rd, Glenmaris! Take care!
  2. defiantly excessive. there should be no duties on bike spares and you should only be charged VAT and handling fees (R20 - R40).
  3. Just a heads up... Museum auction on Saturday. There are some bikes up fro grabs. Have attached the pics of items available on the Saturday only (cause that's where the bike stuff be). https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nbyfy8xc1irdz58/AAA07a7ejBEPAHJ7zOpf1GFLa?dl=0 http://www.oldjw.co.za/ https://www.facebook.com/events/588742197999789/ Rescue a Ride !
  4. Left Nut....given! Much respect...! Also much jealousy....!
  5. What I did.. Strip the bike. Take the frame and stuck post to the vice... turn upside down and wedge the seatpost in the vice as best possible using a cloth to protect (might be able to clamp closed on the seatpost depending on the type). Spit on hands.... Now with 1000 times more leverage force the frame left and right. Keep at it, the give gets more and more .
  6. proudly 3 years DSTV free..
  7. Garmin will not replace the battery and doubt you will find a replacement anywhere in SA. If you want to continue using the unit I guess your only option currently is ordering an aftermarket one from china... http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wholesale-GPS-Battery-for-Garmin-Edge-605-Edge-705-1250-mAh-new-free-shipping/1670599747.html?spm=2114.30010308.3.2.9X556Q&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_9,searchweb201644_1_505_506_503_504_301_502_10001_10002_10017_10010_10005_10011_10006_10003_10004_10009_10008,searchweb201560_5,searchweb1451318400_-1,searchweb1451318411_6451&btsid=16499917-a9ea-4065-a54d-f56db88f75dc
  8. Try the free money... Then trade for real.. https://www.easyequities.co.za/
  9. Personalty, I think this sticking is due to gunk buildup on the piston that just makes the slide action of the piston and barrel worse over time. Not Ideal but for the M785 I would do a full mineral oil change as often as possible. To the peeps that had the failure.... Did you use Shimano mineral oil only or another makes / weight? Would be interesting to see if it may be a an issue with the breakdown of either oils or not. I used 10w and 5w oils and only after the failure have I tried using only Shimano....so will see what happens over time.
  10. BikeWhisperer also gave me the advise on this fix and works a treat.
  11. Hold my beer.....
  12. Clamp the post in a vice and start wrestling! Took me and the steel Momsen frame about 40min of sweating and swearing to twist a thomson post out....
  13. When 3 LBS in the East Rand don't have shift cable outer of any kind......
  14. Drooool...
  15. Pretty! But please change that seat post clamp bolt! It will rip you a new crack!
  16. 89 Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra in Team ADR colours..
  17. Sound like an O-ring has failed or turned on the air sprung side.
  18. Have to agree with you there!
  19. It happens every year! Seem to pass the same teams over and over again without them ever passing you....
  20. FinishLine have them.
  21. Try on a pair of louis garneau's. They are also a bit wider than Sidi.
