    Provided that the the limits and B set screws are set up correctly and the drive train is not worn.

    Don't be a tease...

    If you in CT I'll swap the stuff over for you

    I have a derailleur for you to use as parts. Will need to use your jockey wheels, clutch internals and hanger attachment, but body and cage are still good. Drop me a PM

    Looks good to me, without chips or obvious damage. The important thing is the grind and extraction is still constant.

    Anyone used these guys? https://onlinecoffeeshop.co.za/

    Enduro Seal is a good alternative to Stans if you are looking for a cheaper alternative. Half the price, but works almost as well. There a a couple thread about it. Just a not on the Continentals, I find that a new Conti needs to be washed down properly with soap and water to get the oily residue off that they use in the manufacturing process and to extend shelf life. This stuff does not play well with sealant, even Stans. Mine did not hold air over night, eventually removed it, scrubbed it and refitted and had no hassles after that.

    Thought I'd won the lotto when I walked into cash crusaders and stumbled on a spectacular tamper for R99. Finally a decent one that fits my portafilter perfectly.

    I'm also around the corner. Drop me a PM if you want me to show you around Tokai and the Greenbelts
  10. Alouette3
    Apparently at the wooden bridge at the bottom of Tokai lower forest where it links to the Greenbelt.

    This is the issue I mentioned. That option only shows up when in an actual thread and not on the home page or classifieds section
  13. Alouette3
    Ok, had a look again. That menu option of "My Content" only displays when I'm in an actual thread. Does not show in drop down from Home page or from Classifieds section
  14. Alouette3
    Thanks, option wasn't originally there... but it is now on PC. How do I get to that option on mobile?
  15. Alouette3
    Anything? Finding it a pain to have to scroll through the feed to look for replies to threads I am active in.

    Does any one have any leads on where I might find a Formula RX master cylinder piston kit locally? Apparently a bit tricky. I suspect that the R1 unit will also work. I only really need the u-cup seal and o-ring. Even a second hand unit would do...
  17. Alouette3
    Might have missed it but where do I now find "My Content" previously under the forum tab on desktop or the profile tab while in a thread (not home page) on mobile?

    Look for a 2-25nm unit. My suspension pivots for instance require one pivot to be at 20nm which you can't get with the 2-14nm range. Look around at engineering and tooling shops not only bike shops where your range will be limited.

    Jagwire normally runs R30-35 per inner cable.. Paid R35 last week at the bike shop round the corner.

    So with the price and availability of something like Cushcore, I could just keep a couple spare rims in the garage. Sounding like Foamo is not a very popular option.
  22. Alouette3
    Any new opinions on using inserts? Seems most don't like them on the front. Planning on a set of replacement rims and thinking about running a Foamo in the rear only, as between Tokai trails and my riding, I'm a little hard on the rear at times and will likely run cheaper then replacing rims in the long run.

    Felt like a monkey when I pulled a pair out last time, good to know its more universally accepted then I thought. At least wrapped some leather around them

    What is the official DT approved tool or best way to hold a straight pull spoke and stop it from rotating while working on nipples?
  25. Alouette3
    Will build the wheels myself, one of the more rewarding things you can do on a bike though a proper exercise in patience
