  1. Are you sure it is going to be the "cream" ?? Friend of mines daughter was placed 1st in her category in the Western Cape but due to being the only cyclist from her school she does not qualify, check the western cape results for Chloe Parker! Some local schools brought girls who could hardly ride a bike just to make up numbers so their better riders could qualify, surely if you finish 1st in your category you qualify to go to the finals?
  2. Why not just fit a Mono rail front and Crossmark rear tyre, great on the loose stuff and hardy enough for the tar?
  3. Running XT cluster 11-42(removed the 19 tooth), 3 blades in front 22-36-44. You name the ratio and I think I have it. Great when I feel lazy and have left a few roadies what just happened on the road.
  4. Contact Taryn @ Global Marine Systems 021 5551574, had the same problem and they sorted it out.
  5. Majik forest should be safe to ride but is riding alone safe? I was bullet proof until I came off and had nobody to assist me
  6. Stupid question maybe but why would you want to change from a 3x10 to a 2x10? Weight saving is maybe 200g and personally I would rather have the wider selection of gears, with 2x10 you are going to loose out on ratio's ?
  7. http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/05/download-garmin-705800810.html ,not saying I used this, but it could be your answer
  8. Will have to be a 29er...
  9. Screwing the adjuster out at the shifter will move the derailleur further away from the frame of the bike. If you do not have enough adjustment at the shifter well then yes you are going to have to adjust at the derailleur which becomes a bit more tricky dependant on your mechanical abilities.
  10. Adjust the cable, screw will only stop the derailleur from moving too far ,it wont move it further, that is the cables job
  11. About the same weight as you(92kg) and have had the Sola 1 for 2 months now and love it. It came with 3x10 and I have changed the small blade to a 22 tooth, makes the bike a pleasure to ride up hill. You will not look back, just do it!!
  12. As a novice I bought the Mr Prices spinning tackie which has the holes underneath for the cleats. Used them for ages with no issues except that they are a bitch to dry, bonus is that they are comfortable to walk in with lots of grip and if your girlfriend is new to cycling she may walk a wee bit.
  13. So 262 postings later and many a month later you get what you wanted and now you don't want it. I am way past debating(fighting) with you so hopefully you do not take this the wrong way but if you believed in what you are fighting for then why would you shy away from the meeting, who cares who is there or were it is being held. Go to the meeting and put your feelings on the table, you may have been right all this time. Hopefully you do not take this message the wrong way because I seriously believe a person should fight for what they believe in, if you are proven wrong well then you need to put it behind you and move forward in life
  14. Personally I think "King Crispy" may be "King Limp Biscuit" which would explain his attitude but well that is just my 2c worth?
  15. Try Global Marine in Milnerton 021 5551574. Not sure if they have technical person but they are agents.
