finally finished my Scandal, just need to trim some cables

i used wire conti mountain king, converts pretty well, but sidewalls are ultra thin. trick is to go to the garage and unscrew the brass nozzle off the gauge handle. Then wrap some paper around the base of your valve, put the end of the gauge pipe directly over the valve. The paper will seal the connection, more air flowing so you can inflate the tire quicker. I did try kenda small block 8 with out success

on one scandal 26er shimano mt55 wheels rockshox reba 100mm deore drivetrain clark brakes tubeless build cost R10,500 weight 11.5kg R913 per kg

tell you what I have done close to 2000km with the clark brakes, with zero problems. Bleeds easy, stops me quickly, and quiet. I got them for R800 on special at CRC

oops sorry, mine is 26er

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

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.

Check what is in the tyre,

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

thanks, ordered a new wheel last night

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

can't find a 24 hole hub with a 15mm axle Looks like I have to purchase a new wheel

anyone?

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?

Does not affect me, my LBS is cheaper than overseas online stores.....

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)

"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

was just quoted R6000 for a rock shox reba RL, best price. I can import 2 at that price

Did you see how terrified the kids were with 1000 agro 40 and 70km riders screaming past them?

best skill to master? Logical thinking
