  1. Quality on the Chinese ones can be a slight issue. This one is one of the better ones, steel and welded. I'll drop you a message privately.
  2. Anyone selling one of these before I go new.... no more learning the hard way!
  3. Sure I've got just the QR lever for that in the bottom of a box if needed
  4. Missed all the big boys thankfully, but we did have a decent sized mole snake on the road at the ticket office this morning. The season has begun
  5. Go Teng Tools, buy the 1/4" version and use any existing set you have or can get from any hardware store. Can also buy a 1/4" to hex bit adaptor. A good 1/4" rachet set is never wasted any way The 3/8" set linked is a little trickier to match bits too.
  6. @thebob try Stoke Suspension Works they had a bin of old wrecked Reverbs, if they can't get the parts maybe they have in the bin for you?
  7. Unfortunately not. Only just got my hands on one of those newer C1 posts recently. Have a B1 post as a donor unit, but that also has a connectamajig attachment
  8. Does anyone have or know someone with a Brezzera BZ99? Bought one cheap as chips with a pump snag that need sorting out, otherwise in good condition, so thought I'd take on a project. The previous guy fiddles and took stuff apart, so want to see what they look like under the hood, make the puzzle slightly easier.
  9. Anything will work, but that kinda kit will get stollen! Ride a beater that looks rubbish and wont attract attention. Gears in Holland are few and far between.
  10. Anyone got a spare "Ahead stem" adapter for the Thule Ride along mini? Just the adapter ring.
  11. Road Kirstenbosch yesterday, the garden section itself has just been worked on and all single tracks fixed up and relined with laterite. The Constantia Nek access on the other hand is pretty rough
  12. @droo from Stoke Suspension Works will be here in the morning I'm sure. If he can't help you.... nobody can! The cst viscosity value is the important one to match, not weight printed on the front, as this standard can vary between manufacturers. No harm in using another brand. I've use BelRay on Rockshox and Fox in the past. If memory serves me correctly, Castrol can be used for the 15W in Rockshox lowers. I'll check in the morning
  13. Shimano make a really nice 10 speed 11-46T HG cassette if you on a budget, then you also have the 11 speed option of 11-51T, this will likely need a new derailleur that can do the range up to 51T. Both work on your HG freehub. Think they in the Shimano HG500 range. On a side note, Shimano 11 speed derailleur work well on a Shimano 10 speed derailleur and cassette.... and dare I say it, I'm very impressed running a SRAM 11 speed derailleur with Shimano 11 shifter on my rig. Bit this is another rabbit hole completely.
  14. @Trashy dropped you a PM
  15. Thanks Jono, I'll drop you a PM. Going to get the Mac from Iwan too Knew there was something buried in the 70 pages of posts, thanks! I see there is an old iBert in the Classifieds, bit not sure it will work on my short stem. Feel so bad for the steerer
  16. If you'd had a Fox fork it would have worked
  17. Pack it well and send with PUDO or Postnet
  18. In exchange for some beer money... Looking for a 650b front disc wheel with 15mm thru axle hub (old non boost), otherwise 26" wheel, or even just a hub if I can't find a complete wheel. Want to build up a hardtail tail frame so I can mount a seat and ride with my little one. Got pretty much everything else. Ideal will be mullet 650b on the front
  19. Stem length also seems to be a consideration, the iBert front seat apparently lacks clearance with a stem under 70mm. Rear mount is defiantly kinder on the bike, but not as ideal for the kid
  20. Thanks for the advise so far. Toying with the idea of building up a hardtail 26" (Flowta has a nice AM Ragley frame in the classifieds) got all the other components to get it rolling any way, then I'll have something to mount a bucket type rear mount seat on till she's old enough for something like the Mac seat. @Iwan Kemp I'll drop you a PM
  21. Want to start looking into a ride along seat for my little one, just passing 9 months but my wife thinks she's be about ready in the next couple months. For those with experience, what would you recommend, top tube mount foam seats, rear mounted bucket? Something that would fit my full sus would be ideal... then again, N+1 Somewhere at my folks place is a trailer unit my dad brought from the states many moons ago, top quality but think it uses a QR and I don't have a compatible frame. Seating area also a bit big and cant take along a greenbelt
  22. I might have one, let me check and get back to you. Drop me a PM Fox?
  23. On my last claim, when Discovery called to tell me the outcome, I just asked them to pay me out cash, the agent put through the payment to my account straight away, no questions asked.
  24. Bought a bottomless portafilter for my Gaggia from them. Had great service. Doesn't come with a basket, but they found a triple basket in there storeroom and threw it in for me. Drop them a mail.
