  1. You can get new rockshock recon gold for R1900, I just got a new reba for R2300, then I bought these for R1k a set a while ago, fantastic brakes http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=47543
  2. I just upgraded my shock, from suntour xcr to a Reba, picked up the Reba from my LBS for R2300 (Big bargin), but we could only get it in 15mm thru axle. Because my bike has the shimano mt55 wheels I can't just upgrade the hub ( no 24 hole hubs to be found). So I just ordered a new MT55 wheel from chain reaction who have a few on special this week. Total cost of the conversion R3500. To change your hub you may need spokes as well, then a wheel builder (if you can't do it yourself, might be cheaper to just replace the wheel and sell the old one.
  3. Check what is in the tyre,
  4. they should seal to below freezing, I have had a batch of sealant "dry up" leaving water only, which did not seal, could be that your sealant was old
  5. thanks, ordered a new wheel last night
  6. ok for the sake of anyone wanting to buy Shimano mountain bike wheels, DON'T DO IT!! You cannot get spares for the wheels if they break, all I am after is a new hub so I can convert the front wheel to a 15mm axle, but you cannot get a spare hub anywhere! I cannot buy a new front wheel locally, (have to buy the wheel set). Luckily Chainreaction is one click away. At least I got a brand new Reba shock for R2300, (how some shops are asking R7000 for the Reba is beyond me), so the conversion is still not to bad
  7. can't find a 24 hole hub with a 15mm axle Looks like I have to purchase a new wheel
  8. Does anybody know if you can buy an adapter to convert the MT55 QR version to a 15mm axle? You can buy the wheel as a 15mm axle, so I am assuming that I can buy the adapter. Alternatively where can I get a 15mm axle 24 hole hub?
  9. Does not affect me, my LBS is cheaper than overseas online stores.....
  10. there is no way they can police this, I don't think it is targeting physical goods that are shipped, as VAT is collected on those items. But SARS loose on things like software, music, ebooks, essentially anything that is downloaded or a web based service. (think amazon)
  11. "cagies" have a 2011 for R6000. Check here http://www.on-one.co.uk/help/guides/rockshox-forks/ but I also called my LBS (Tool Up Cycles) they have ordered one for me, cheaper than On One
  12. was just quoted R6000 for a rock shox reba RL, best price. I can import 2 at that price
  13. Did you see how terrified the kids were with 1000 agro 40 and 70km riders screaming past them?

  21. With only one access road to the Ladder I would say yes, all about the $$. The public have no other way of getting there except via a locked gate and aggressive farmers who will "arrest you". Looks like a good spot for eToll
  22. maybe a dumb questions, but is there another access road to the ladder?

  24. there are people earning as much as 40 million a year, just google "directors remuneration" and the jse listed company, You will be shocked to see how many SA people earn millions more than us plebs. R46k is nothing to them If I was Kevin I would increase the cost by 20% every year until it takes 2 days to sell out
