why would you want to put Acera on, add some money and put something like Deore or SLX on it but I don't think it will be a problem to make the 3 x 9 Acera work on it.

The route back is always a mess with peak Sunday traffic and horrible crossings with "marshals"

Not from Kyalami pro cycles...

My Trek Top fuel came out with 170mm Cranks and it is a large, I cannot tell you if its better, but I think they have done some research before the launch, I am still fat and unfit on my heavy dual suspension.

Personally, I think there are benefits but that might be just my feel on the MTB, some youtube analysts would prove me wrong but I prefer the oval on my MTB.

I must be honest, I loved my Scott Genius I had, then, I thought, it's time for an upgrade, bought the latest trek and I am still missing my Scott.

Just go 1x it is much simpler, get a 11-52 cassette, it might not solve your problem but it works well.

Why not Buy it directly From Pro Auto Rubber? I am sure it is going to be cheaper, they are in Boksburg.

You can Change the device in Fitfile tools as well.

one answer, fitfiletools.

Well, here is my bit of embarrassing experience. I had to install a new bottom bracket om my Trek Top Fuel and ended up Cross threading the Drive side, when it became a bit difficult to screw in I thought it was the blue-thread lock that was on it, it was only as mission to remove, clean the threads properly and get it in 100% straight, after some choice words I managed to get both sides in properly.

I agree, I gave away almost a full bottle.

It feels like there is a race every morning around 4:40 am amongst our club riders, if you are in the east rand area.

My grandson, is shy of 2 years old, think it's a bit early.

So I decided to respray my bike during December, here is the Frankenbike, Silverback Sola frame, Handle bars from Rapide, non series shifters, frork from Keanbikes, rear deraler GRX with 11-46 casette, front 42 chainring on XT crank, I even got me a stages power meter on the cheap.
