  1. Challenge yourself.
  2. http://www.squirtlub...News2014-01.pdf 2.3Mb Too big to attach.
  3. Regarding the Velonews - Friction Facts test. They did another test this year and our local friend Squirt came out on top. As soon as I find the article I'll add it
  4. ENVY I adore Spain.
  5. I have a green XXL to swop for Green L.
  6. Sorry ne
  7. Do we know what time the batches start. I need to know how much I need to panic about the cold
  8. Cassie . The pictures I took during the process were of which spacer goes where. Really not useful as it lack the context. Here is the bearing puller.
  9. Noted. I'll service the little buggers myself and more regularly now. but time was the biggest factor.
  10. For a bearing puller I used threaded rods and all sorts of washer that I would have thrown away if i cleaned the shed often enough. Replacing the bearings I found sockets to be the bomb. They are the perfect size. as if some one made them for that purpose. I can hide a bearing puller but not a stand. Just kidding she is so nice I'll get both
  11. 2 x 6902 4 x 6802 2 x 6900 2 X DDL1910 Finished it last night. Test drive this morning. It feels like a new bike. How the LBS did not pick it up when they did a check over service 2 weeks ago is beyond me. Anyway. we all know if you really want to know what was done do it your self. Now to get the wife to buy me a workstand for the big four oh.
  12. I would buy a bearing puller for the next round, they are fairly snug. But a threaded rod, and some assorted washers did the job just fine. All 10 bearings for that price. i'll post the codes when i get home
  13. I opened it up. Taking photos as i went along. Crumbs for Hanzel and Grethal. Bearings shot. 1/10 would be reusable. I blame wine2whales day 1 No amount of sewing machine oil would have helped. I fashioned a bearing puller out of threaded rod and sockets. McGuyver music playing in my head. LBS wanted R787 for the replacement bearings. Bearing man did not have any in stock. Bearing Connection to the rescue R186.48. Some of the savings will be spent on beer to give me confidence to finish the job.
  14. Take a good placebo.
  15. Log off. We dont want the virus.
  16. Old Giant Iguana: R1000 Set of pedals:R540 Dropping guys on bikes that cost 20x on a climb: Priceless
  17. I have a Giant Anthem. I creaks like hell. It sounds like the frame is breaking. the upside is i dont have to warn anyone I am approaching. I suspected the bushes on the rear suspension. Iconfirmed this by pouring a littie water on each of these. Then they go all quiet. If I leave the bike to dry for a day or 2 the creaking is back. Can I remedy by a drop of sewing machine oil on each joint or is this going to damage the bushes ? I am not confident enough to take the whole rear off an grease every spot before sani. Oil or not ?
  18. Underberg: Ixopo: High flats Scottburgh edit : Hope the screenshots made it this time
  19. Hypothetically: I have a friend with a few Strava titles on hills around joburg. Does anyone care that he is juiced up ?
  20. Fast partners create unnecessary expectations with c batch seeding. or ? aah well. Let the games begin.
  21. Nice useless info, stats and rankings here. http://www.procyclingstats.com/index.php
  22. Seeding is available.
  23. Who's fault is that ?
  24. Single speed Unicycle
