  1. Agreed, the components you have should not be noisy. Before spending money check: 1. Is everything installed correctly and aligned correctly 2. Are all the bolts tightened 3. Are the pads not glazed or contaminated Chances are pretty good it is the above and not the just the components that is inherently noisy.
  2. 36/14 for a blistering time of 6h50 and a few seconds (That includes an ice-cream stop, a few selfie stops and at least two picnics)
  3. Oval chainring, promise it looks better when it is at the high position
  4. 7th CTCT on an SS. Not really difficult but getting the gearing right and having the right technique is crucial. Fell back to 6E and rode at a very leisurely pace with my girlfriend on her first CTCT. So the wind was not that much of an issue but sitting on a bike for that amount of time gets to you after a while. Hats off to the backmarkers.
  5. Try Chilled Squirrel https://www.chilledsquirrel.com/ebikeconversions/
  6. How about just putting on a crank protector, certainly the quickest and cheapest option. https://www.evobikes.co.za/wolftooth-crankarm-protectors.html
  7. If you do not mind driving out my way I can give you a hand on Saturday. I should have all the tools needed to do the assembly and can show you how and why things need to be done.
  8. Are these the ones you are looking for? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/nukeproof-pedal-alloy-end-caps/rp-prod82082
  9. I think it is Archer components, https://www.archercomponents.com. Their system do look a bit more polished.
  10. Brilliant, that's my type of race. Off to go and buy a set of lights
  11. For the slower amongst us that is looking at the fixie parked in the corner and wondering if this is a good idea or not, what average speed is "cruising at the back"?
  12. This is what I have, also from a build where they did not fit
  13. I think I might have a set like that in a spares box somewhere, will have a look and let you know.
  14. Do you have a pic of the 2 types of v brakes you are referring to?
  15. Seems there was a bit of a weak link in my plan as the below MRI shows........ So instead of doing the CTCT this year I will be getting a few titanium accesories on Monday Yes I did ask the doc if I could still do the Argus, his reply is best not repeated though So till next year gentlemen, it sure was a blast.
