  1. Great advise!!! If you would like to change, go 1 x 11!! Not that expensive and you would have some money left to add to that wheel set
  2. Same here, thought i treat my bike and now sitting with a dull looking fork (Fox)
  3. Exactly what i was talking about!!
  4. I used that on my bikes before, without any discoloration, but thought i getting smart and bought bike wash
  5. I don't know if this was already discussed previously, but I would really appreciate your input. To be very honest, i got a bit lazy and bought some "bike Wash" thinking that it would safe some of my time. Well, it did and worked absolute great, BUT i now notice that most of my black parts (Front Shock) got this really dull look on it that i really don't like it at all. So, i presume that i can polish it up to get it all shiny again, but does all bike soaps do or just certain bike soaps.
  6. i thought of that as well and moved my feet around while peddling, still there!
  7. I have a 2015 Anthem Advance that got a irritating squeaking sound. It is only when you pedal and only when your right foot is close to the bottom while pedaling. Only that specific spot, does not matter how easy or hard you pedal, you can year this squeak sound. When standing on the pedals and bounce with my weight on the bike, there is no sound at all. That made me think that the suspension bearings is still alright. I checked the following knowing that sound travel quite a bit trough the frame: Seat PostHeadset bearingsLoosen Stem and slightly grease itLoosen Seat and slightly grease itCheck all the skewer's front and back, slightly crease them as well The only thing really left is the Bottom Bracket. I did however took the Crank off and the bearing was still 100%. Did anybody experienced something similar and could maybe give advise where to look.
  8. Another question..... Do you require spacers on the chainring when converting from 2x10 to 1x11. XT crank.
  9. Will a 50 work with a original 1 x 11 derailleur?
  10. KZN South Coast......Think Joburg is more flat than here
  11. Yes, my apologies. Actually it is for two bikes. 29er and then my wife 27.5. Currently they have exactly the same group set on.
  12. I like the Sunrace 11 - 50 idea, but unfortunately i am looking at an upgrade kit that comes with an 11-42. Maybe when replacing the cassette, i can change over to a bigger one at the back.
  13. I don't know if it was discussed before, but if it was, my apologies and if not, your advise would be really appreciated. I currently have 2 x 10 (Front Chain Rings 38T and 24T) and Cluster (11 - 36) on my Mountain Bike. I am considering upgrade it to 1 x 11 (11 - 46). I would prefer to have the same ratio of gears as the 2 x 10, but in a 1 x 11. What would be ideal chain ring 32T or 34T. Then secondly.....Oval Chain Rings? Is there any advantage in them or not?
  14. I have an Garmin 820 and a Fenix 5. Is there a way that these two devises can pick up the same activity and prevent it from duplicating on Garmin Connect and Stava.
  15. Anybody that have contact details for Transportation of two bikes from Durban to Capetown for the Argus?
  16. I did actually asked them for the 1000 and they reply that the deal is only on 820 exchange.
  17. Thanks, I did notice that most of the complains are about battery life, but again.....that is people using everything at once.....Navigation, Bluetooth act.
  18. Got feedback from Garmin SA and was informed that my Garmin is not repairable. They recommend that I exchange it for a Garmin 820 with a fee payable by me. Although the fee is minimal, I heard that the Garmin 820 have various problems and that the battery life is NOT that great. I basically have two choices.......I pay and get the Garmin 820 or make a change towards Bryton or similar GPS ..... Any suggestions?
  19. Thank you... I spoke to their support and will courier the device to them today.
  20. Thank you for your response! I already did a hard reset but unfortunately still had the same problem.
  21. When switching on my device yesterday morning, I found this. I don't know how it got like this as the previous day it was still 100%. It is mostly visible when the device back light is on. Can this be repaired, or is it time for a new one. Okay, my pic did not load, working on it
  22. Thank you for you responce, however if you did not want to answer the question then just scroll on....a little bit of patience can sometimes go a long way.
  23. Could somebody please point me in the right direction here. I got a set of American Classic wide lighting wheels (2017) and presume the Freebody is a 11 Speed. I am running a 10 Speed and got the different Spacer rings with the wheels to convert to 10 speed. In the Wheels boks there is two rings. * 0.5 mm * 1.85 mm and then there is a ring that comes with the new cassette as well. So, please can somebody tell me what rings should be used on the Freebody to run 10 speed cassette?
  24. That explain a lot. Thank you
