  1. "The problem is that the price gap between private label brands and 1st tier brands are too small in SA these days." The price gap has nothing to do with the difference between the private and 1st tier but rather to what they think the market can carry but that's just IMHO - don't think you suddenly gonna get 'cheaper' decent bikes
  2. There were 'cyclists' at Race for Victory with sleeveless and arm warmers but perhaps they were triathletes in disguise
  3. 'know' or 'don't know'? if 'know' then why do they
  4. Under Forums- events https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/92561-event-mtn-national-xcm-8-ride-crater-cruise-106km-driven-by-nissan/page__st__20
  5. I thought only 'kempekkernolia' was made in a backyard .... by Guepetto or something?
  6. I have sewn a few stitches with dental floss and then cleaned just that piece well on the inside and used one of those bigger patches inside with great success. Having said that I got a cut in a 29r Conti Race King sidewall on Saturday about 3cm long, a nearly new tyre trashed ..... That one we also sewed as best we could (yes we do carry dental floss and a needle ...) and then used an energy bar wrapper. Put in a tube and we managed to get the last 20k's home with no problem.
  7. Maybe a silly question but does it have the latest firmware?
  8. SlowOne - I believe it's the PG-990, top of the range EShram cassette
  9. +1, I use Deore cassette/chain and LX(SLX) middle ring ..... I've never worn out a granny ring but Dangerous Dan has
  10. Not sure of the circumstances but just saw this on Tweeta EWNTrafficEWN Traffic RT @ER24EMS: Medical Helicopter landing on scene at Main Reef and Field roads in Boksburg for a cyclist knocked off
  11. and if someone worries about 5g's they got serious issues (except if you're Weight_Weenie)
  12. I have had a situation where a lever rattled because the brake cable had a slight 'kink' and didn't release properly ..... I guess though that if it's both that's not the problem? Easy enough to find though
  13. I always thought it was more to do with WHAT you ate and how often than how MUCH you ate if you were already an 'exerciser' so to speak
  14. Don't know about 'new and old' but I took themn a few years ago, they did speed up the process but as mentioned the heart palpitations and lack of sleep put me off them ....
  15. Of interest to anyone or not I don't but I have a set of Avid Juicy 7's I bought from Dangle Jan 2006 and bled by him, to this day they have not been touched other than change of pads ..... levers a bit worn and they have been passed on to someone else recently but they still work!
  16. Dude how can I be holding your hand when I'd be falling about myself, rather only 1 of us falls in the technical stuff
  17. Just ensuring your safety my friend
