  1. <p>so do we pick the entries up at FPC paulshof or Cyclelab fourways?</p> <p> </p> <p>This says cyclelab and website says fpc</p>
  2. Thanks for the advice I will get a new cable. The cage is bent, it's not the angle of the pic. Will take it to the lbs and see if they can straighten it / replace the cage.
  3. Hi I'm having trouble setting the gears. The limit screws are perfect but I can't get the fine adjustments right. The gear cable was replaced 150km ago. If I start off on the high gears, it changes up and down perfectly form 8 to 2 but once I change up to the 1st gear (biggest cog) then I cant change down again and if I adjust the barrel, it changes down but not up. so am I doing something wrong or is this hanger bent?
  4. wherever you decide to buy it from... don't forget to check for free delivery and if your multitool can fit in it
  5. saddle bag to camelbak to multitool.... if you don't have any of those by now, then you shouldn't be riding a bike!
  6. Awesome. Well done CWC
  7. I've got the 520 peddles and used to love them. That was until I rode in mud. They are hard to clean when the mud dries. Rather pay a bit more and find something more mud friendly
  8. Fuji Tahoe 1.0
  9. 1.77. Switched from a 20" Large to a 19" Medium
  10. yup, same wobble i'm talking about Anyway, the bike rides fine, i've done 131km so far, I just wanted to check if this is something i need to be worried about.
  11. Thanks, Problem solved
  12. I removed the cassette (chain whip and cassette removal tool) and the plastic bit was held with 3 or 4 clips which came off very easily) freewheel. Bike is on a stand, I peddle the wheel then freewheel it and I can see the cassette moving side to side There's no play if you move it by hand
  13. The cassette on my new bike "wobbles". When I say wobble I mean it moves around and it's not straight. I asked the LBS about this and was told that the plastic bit behind the cassette was making it look like the cassette is wobbling. I removed the plastic and it still wobbles Is this Normal? Is the wheel not true or is the wheel bent?
  14. my 1st 30K race. Enjoyed it, wish I rode a bit faster. The only thing i didn't enjoy apart from the cold was the mud that got stuck around my cleats.
  15. Rode for the 2nd time on Sat. Enjoyed it as much as I did the first time. My only suggestion is to move those metal rods that the direction arrows are on. I slipped in some sand and almost got taken out by one. Another person riding in our group also had a close call with a metal rod. anyway, will be back for the 3rd ride soon
  16. Thanks again everyone. Took Delivery of my Fuji today

  18. Sorry I did leave some stuff out. They both 26er's. They around the same price give or take a few R100. R7500
  19. Hi I've decided to buy a new bike and have come down to the following 2 options and need some help deciding. Fuji Tahoe or Merida TFS500??

  20. Thanks I'll try go as much SLX as possible (depending on cost) or SLX shifters and RD with the rest deore. Also should I go 11-32 or 11-34 cassette? I mostly ride Northern Farm and occasionally the spruit or cyclepark.
  21. Hi I'm going to upgrade my 8spd to a 10spd. (cassette, derailleur, chain and shifters) After phoning a few bike shops for pricing, some tell me that Deore is good enough and others tell me that I need to go SLX. I currently have deore shifters and derailleur but want to get the right parts for the upgrade. Will Deore be good enough or should I go SLX?
