  1. Hope this helps. acute mallet fracture dorsal base of big toe in the distal phalanx
  2. I have broken my big toe this weekend. Waiting to see the doctor tomorrow but x-rays confirmed the fracture. As always dr google says that I can keep on cycling if it is on idt and stiff shoe. Will confirm with doctor tomorrow but anybody else have any experience?
  3. I have a disc brake road bike and seems every time I do my training on my trainer and put the wheel back I get disc rub. I use the brake pad spacer but doesn't help. Even get it sometimes on the front wheel and I don't even take it off. Do you also experience the same issue when you have to replace an inner tube?
  4. Maybe you should also go the police open a case and get his back account locked. There are only so few banks and it will catch up with him eventually.
  5. Thisnone ofnthe reasons we need the comment section back on the classified sections
  6. I aslo had a incident with him and gave feedback as well. Bought Shimano shifters from and only fitted it 2 weeks later as I was waiting for my handerbars. Left shifter did not work. Had to send a video so that he can send me a new one while waiting for a warranty claim. Booked Pudo and nothing happened, followed up for about 2 weeks and gave up. Definitely avoid doing any business with. He should be blocked from bikehub as he has a couple similar names on bikehub.
  7. TCR doesn't have intrgrated brakes so you will be limited by the frame. It will depend on the year of the frame if it can take 25 or 28mm. Remember you can add 2/3mm to a continental tire to het the sizing. I would rather fit Pirelli tires as they measure 25mm as indicated and it is alot easier fitting them as well and replacing an inner tube.
  8. I have RED version, is it fair to downgrade me to the Force eddition?
  9. I recently had an accident on my roadbike where left hand shifter got damaged. Problem is that SRAM RED Etap 2x11 groupset was discontinued. Question is that AXS has replaced the Etap and I am hoping that both shifter to be replaced (at least) because the design and size is different. Received 2 qoutes and both qoues are more than 66% of insured value of the bicycle. Any advice or hubbers that had the same issue?
  10. I am 44 years old and the fitter I am (VO2 above 43 even better above 50) the more my Asthma is under controlled. I also try avoid dairy as it flares my Asthma attacks and also being over-weight doesn't. Salfates also have a negative affect which is common in some spices and beverages. I am on Monte-Air, Symbicord ( 2 times per day) , albutamol inhaler (during rides). Fox-Air and Singulaire doesn't help me but speak to your docter and try different things. My 2 cents
  11. Yes road shifter with MTB RD. Casette is a road casette
  12. Struggling to find a 11 speed long cage RD for my road bike running a 11-32 casette and was thinking if a MTB RD will work. Any recommendations on which MTB RD will work? Shimano groupset
  13. While doing some intervals it fekt llike my heart was ebating outside my chest with a weird tingle sensation throuhout my upper body. HR jump from 142 to 159 within 2/3 seconds, This was my 10th interval. 1 min at 325W FTP at 270 W Does anybody have experience with this or advice?
  14. I sealed a cut caused by a piece of glass on a road tire (and inner tube) with Tufo carbon sealant. It hold 8 bar without going flat. Bad news is that I was unable to separate the inner tube from the tire after I finished the ride. Lol.
  15. Thanks for reaching out. I will find out if the deal is still available
  16. I also need help from a hubber tha can assist with a non cycling deal that is in Centurion. I will gladly pay for your time. Parcel needs to be verified and shipped to me via pudo.
  17. Hi hubbers. Need someone to help with a non-cycling (tennis racket bag) deal in JHB South Robertsham area and must ship item to me. I will pay for the shipping and for your time as well
  18. I would go for Tofu tires and use there carbon sealant as backup. I used the carbon sealant (only after a puncture) on a normal tube and tire and it sealed at 8 Bar.
  19. Sometimes during races when the attacks are extreme it feels like my heart is beating out of my chest but legs feel fine and feels also if my HR is stuck at 180. I have to stop pedaling and use my asthma pump in order to het my hr under controlled. Normally when the pace is to hard you get that burning feeling on your legs but no issues with my hr. There is 2 different feeling and with the stress ekg (walking for 2 min) at 150HR is hardly a test where my max HR is 186 Just want peace of mind. Last thing I want is to have an attack like my 1st and end up on the ground while biking.
  20. My doctor discovered that I get SVT and abnormal heart beats. I want to do a cycling test where I can push myself while my HR is monitored and to see if my cycling is adding to the problem. Does anybody of a institute around JHB or PTA area that can assist?
  21. If it was your bike, would you insist on a new seat post? I am willing to let the shop try to repair it but then it must not be noticeable. If you can see that it was repaired I feel it must be replaced. Am I unreasonable?
  22. Will it be an issue with the extra sealant in the rim?
  23. Unfortunately not as I am holiday but another well known brand
