Busy prepping my bike for early tomorrow notice the shocks have come back from service on Friday too soft, I.e just leaning on the handle bars it bottoms out. -30 psi Tried googling - there must be a formula - x kgs = X psi ?

Everybody and his dog is a safety officer these days.
Does it have wifi?
Dis waar, en ek sou hulle nog gery het, maar die onderste een is basies vas. Die groefie waar die "bushing" in loop is grof. Ek voel sommer hoe trek hy 10W, en dit is 10W wat ek nie het in die middag oppad huis toe nie! (Die is eintlik my nat weer commuter, so die arme goed vat maar 'n hammering)
Die Roller Boys wat oppad is behoort my 4 minute vinniger by die huis te kry!
PS: Baie dankie vir die moeite Johan!
The BB on my wife's Silverback also gave out within 500Km. Replaced it (with the same model number), did a few thousand so far, no problem. I had a GT a few years ago and its bb also went feet up within the first 1000Km. Others last forever. I think those ones were assembled on a friday.
Ek glo nie 'n bietjie speling is 'n groot problem nie, hang seker af hoeveel hy beweeg?
Myne lyk so:

Hi Johan,
Ek is op Secunda. Ek was so rukkie terug op die oosrand by 2 groot (Wel, een groot een en een kleintjie) fiets shops en kon nie kry nie, en die 2 bike shops hier in Secunda sukkel ook om vir my te kry. Hulle kry net die nuwe pulleys wat anders lyk as die ou X7.
Hi!
Wie weet waar in ZA kan ek pulley wheels koop vir my ou (2007) X7? Dit is die een met die offset gaatjie in die boonste pulley. Ek is hier in die boendoes, so iemand wat sal pos? (CWC het nie, blykbaar) en ek wil nie CR af invoer net vir 'n stel pulley wheels nie!
My wielietjies het nou 10000 km op, en hulle is sat verby.
Dankie!
Oh, and I think somebody should inform James Randi of this, he might have fun with this one.
On second thought, he is probably all over it already.

Haha! That was funny, well done guys!
Have you tried OKO? I like oko, sealed lots of tires and went lots of KMs.
BeeT' date=' it is not so easy, you ride your MTB in the country, and then get mugged because you are in the veld, isolated and alone.
Catch 22 situation if you ask me
[/quote']
The other problem is that riding in the veld with my MTB is not getting me any closer to work or back home in the afternoon.
If you are sharing a road with cars and trucks then you have to accept that you are at the bottom of the food chain and not ride like you own the road.
Wrong. Cars may have the power' date=' speed, weight and capacity to mow down cyclists but actually they are at the end of the chain. First come pedestrians, then horses (and riders), then bicycles. Cars and other motorised vehicles come last. (Maybe we should go back to the days of having a person walking ahead of cars with red flags to ensure that they don't hurt the first users of roads and tracks. Most civilised countries, and civilised peoples, respect the weaker users of the road (who also happen to be largely taxpayers). Car users without respect? Well, they don't deserve respect.[/quote']
+100.
Game set and match. Mushilele for President.
Summer (Rainy) months, 15W30 or whatever is cheapest.
Winter (dusty conditions) Squirt.
Clean chain every 100Km or so. Works for me.
I am also a happy OKO user (mainly because it is easy to find here where LBS is few and far between) Usually I can get it to seal, I recently had a problem with an old crossmark (non UST) but I just "paint" some liquid latex on the bead, instant seal. (This is with ghetto conversions.)
Ek het ook so gedink, tot hulle my sleg gedrop het so rukkie terug. Nou shop ek maar op 'n ander plek. Die FPC in Duncan straat (om die hoek van Bruce) is nie sleg nie. (Of miskien moet ek se: Sover is hulle nie sleg nie...)
Op daai noot, ek het gister vir my 'n workstand gekoop by Strides Designs, en hulle was verskriklik hulpvaardig. Hy het my afslag gegee, en toe weer petrolgeld afslag toe hy hoor ek kom van ver. Hy het selfs gery en my langs die pad gekry sodat ek nie so ver hoef te ry nie. Uitstekend, dankie! En die is 'n awesome workstand. 
PS: Ek het niks met die ou uit te waai, behalwe dat ek 'n baie happy klient is nie.
Oh my God!! They are not wearing helmets!!
Please, think of the children!
Nou daai vetkoeke was `n bederfie! And that guy on the 56km with his sakkie appels on his carrier! Classic!
I loved that too! Wish I could have gotten a photo, it was a classic! (Sakkie appels on a bike rack. lol) 
How can it be private property when here is a squatter camp right down the road?
Stop for random shouting people (even if they are in some kind of uniform) at your own peril.
With a full susser, the distance between your saddle and the BB stays constant. With a suspension seatpost it definitely changes all the time.
As somebody with knee problems, I can imagine that this is NOT a good thing.
I learned that it is apparently very uncool to wear your helmet in a coffee shop.
(not that I usually frequent coffee shops, or wear my helmet when I ride my bike to the shops. But the situation might arise.)
Anybody want to join the SA Mountainbiker group on dailymile?

Hi Climate,
It seems to be mostly on the right hand side of the left kneecap, if you feel in the middle of your knee, right next to the kneecap, you can feel something hard there, (Bone probably) it is just about there.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the suggestions, I've got a good list to work through now. 
)
Any suggestions on a GOOD bike fit shop? I would prefer somebody who would seriously try to solve my problem, not get me out the door asap.

What, you "scanned" it with your TV remote? Or did you use one of those things they use at Pick n Pay?
The sealant recipe sounds good though.
