    Not even a ripple across False Bay this morning.
  2. Thomo
    Bicycle Maintenance Company (BMC) in Salt River.?
  3. Thomo
    Single speed and flats to walk...
  4. Thomo
    Don't know if that's entirely accurate ... LOL But probably nothing to warrant any significant changes to usual gearing. I think suggestions of change are just to have an extra gear to accommodate fatigue toward the end and getting over the dollies.

    Spez, but with the Di2. That said, I'm not too familiar with the Ribble.
  6. Thomo
    When it hits Takealot, it's invariably last stock.
  7. Thomo
    And KMC for those that dare to be different. I was actually random searching for this very thing this morning too...

    This is an issue which comes up time and again on the various insurance related threads. Small print aside (but be sure to read those carefully), isn't insurance supposed to place you in the same/similar position you were in prior to an incident.? I don't see how repairing something to a fraction of it's prior value is doing that. Salvage for repair and sell it to recover some of the insurance settlement if your conscience allows you to do that.

    Embrace it.! Sometimes when the squeak realizes it is no longer annoying you, it just miraculously disappears.
  10. Thomo
    Yeah, sometimes those squeaks and creaks are good for setting tempo, or for knowing when you're teammate is trying to attack you on training rides. LOL
  11. Thomo
    List those you are looking at. May be easier to get guidance on specific bikes.
  12. Thomo
    Were you involved in the incident in Belgravia area.? Don't always know who's behind the hub name. Trust you're healing well.
  13. Thomo
    The only thing that got me through a similar click on the weekends ride was somebody else's bike that was squeaking even louder. LOL Haven't had a chance to check it so probably more of the same tomorrow...

    Thanks for all the confirmations of PMs and Emails working. Needless to say, my post was in no way serious and merely venting as their are apparently many who just couldn't be bothered to respond.

    Cycle Factory used to be based in Montague Gardens if I remember correctly. I think they then went exclusively online. Not too sure what their current operations entails but reasonably sure it'll be legit.

    Most Italian/European bibs are highly rated for quality and comfort (when you've found the right fit): Castelli, Santini, Nalini, Giordana, Endura, Sportful etc Assos is equally good (some will say better) and just a whole lot more accessible in SA.
  17. Thomo
    Must be more difficult selling since PM isn't working. I mean, it can't be working seeing as nobody responds. And I don't think the email link is working either. LOL
  18. Thomo
    No problem. Issues start when increasing the size difference between large and small chainrings. And even that sometimes works just fine.
  19. Thomo
    Yeah, I guess that's what I meant about the two mentioned products. Thx.

    Anybody tried Magic Milk on road tubeless.?
  21. Thomo
    Are either of the SafeSeal or Deed recommended for road tubeless.? Will probably need to have a look at my sealant stocks at some point. Another name that pops up under recommendations is Magic Milk.?
  22. Thomo
    Unfortunately true for many stores.I remember having a frame cracked when a front derailleur clamp's height was adjusted and overtightened. All I got was shrugged shoulders.
  23. Thomo
    Support vehicles were allowed some years ago as a trial. With neutralized stop and feed zones, feeding is less of a requirement/issue in the second half imo. What is very handy are spares on demand in case of a breakdown.
  24. Thomo
    Haven't had any issues, but if it is a problem, perhaps add the sealant before attaching the extender.?
  25. Thomo
    Long valves are rare locally, and when you do find them at the likes of Spez Concept Store, they cost an arm and a leg. Extenders work, but then valve still needs to extend far enough beyond the rim for this.
