  1. Hi Hubbers, For those of you living in the Fourways area and that would like to object against the building of a Makro store at the corner of Witkoppen and Leslie, please visit www.magaliessig.co.za and follow the instructions to submit an objection to the authorities. Thank you for your cooperation. Ernesto
  2. Ok, it's time to go sleep now...
  3. Like post posts that I can only see!
  4. I can do whatever I want!
  5. Ok, the way I do it I set the limiter screws first before putting the cable. I can't rememer which one is which (+ or -) but what they do is limit the movement of the derailleurs so the chain doesn't go beyond the intended travel. Use a screwdriver to see how far the derailleurs are moving. The first and last gears at the back should be perfectly aligned with the derailleur pulley. The derailleur must not go past it and this is adjusted with the screws. At the front it is similar but since there is no pulley try to align your bigger and smaller chainring to the middle of the FD cage. Again, use the screws to get this right. Then you can put the cables. Before tightening the bolt that keeps the cable in place make sure that there's no cable slack but don't pull to tight or the derailleur will move from it's starting position. After that is a matter of adjusting with the barrels (the one in the RD for the back and the one in the lever for the front). I hope this helps.
  6. If your chain is rubbing your FD you'll either have to adjust the limiting screws on top of the FD (the ones with + and -) or you can make small adjustments with the one situated on the shifter lever (where the cable joins). I hope this helps.
  7. Look Luke, It is actually very safe. If you don't have a map you may get a bit lost at the beginning but nothing to worry about.
  8. Yhey put it there because there's no absolute guarantee that you chain will never get caught between the spokes and the cassette even with the limiter properly adjusted.
  9. I hope your dad is OK, wonduhboy. And a big to the mistery guy!
  10. must be a roady... oi, probably there are other offences done too!
  11. Yeah, I know how you feel. I try to greet everyone. I even greet people on horses and sometimes they greet back (the horses, that is).
  12. Yesterday I saw a taxi hitting a pedestrian on the R55. Fortunately the taxi managed to slow down so it wasn't major and the pedestrian seemed ok. Not a nice thing to watch though.
  13. Welcome to the hub, Gary. I would say enter events with distances you and your bike can handle for now. Eventually you'll get better and you'll have more insight into what kind of bike is suitable for you and your improved skills. Learn about bikes, componentry and prices before you start spending big Rs.
  14. ... and leave your old SA flags (if you still have) in OZ or cops will confiscate them.
  15. Definitely needs correcting. Check your marathon distance. Hey, 5 km is a very long distance for the average Joe
  16. I stand to be corrected but I think that: - Marathon > 5km - Stage > 1 day - Downhill: only 1 way down - XC: any combination of the above - Most popular: the race to the beer counter
  17. Can the tyred be fixed?
  18. Must be the hub server that's located in Boksburg. The time there is totally different.
  19. Never mind.
