  1. HI all technical hubbers i have a half an acre of land to play with being my garden unfortunately half of that half acre is taken up by my living place (house) so in the other half which is basically an over run veld at the moment i want to build a northshore trail that i can ride without having to worry about disturbing the neighbours at all hours of the night (hehehehehe secret training) so if anybody can help me out with building a track in a quarter acre of land i will be eternally greatful (sp) i have a few ideas but need more payment will be availability of turtles secret park anytime anyday!!! P.S. i am being serious!!!!!!
  2. if you want it to last set the contrast very low turn off all alarms and backlights and then only use your functions that you will need so you will need to switch of the second bike function and all of that as well if you worried about battery life then rather save up go for the 705 the battery life is triple that of a 305 when charged fully in the first place
  3. Pity you couldn't be at the ground for the match... Was funny to see how the numbers dropped from day 1... They saw this hiding coming! Well done to Dale Steyn!!! What a world class bowler! Not only a world class bowler but after his first innings run chase a first class batsman!!!!!!! great job Dale Steyn
  4. ? Have you somehow managed to put a Biopace ring on one of the cranks? Nope funny enough they had used FSA chainrings that were made for a compact crankset on the captain chain and in doing so they had overtightened the chain with the cam and due to the pressure or torque (not too sure which one is correct to use in this instance) after a few rides the rings had been deformed into an oval shape causing a tight spot in the chain
  5. I had a similar problem with one of the tandems i serviced a while back when you turn the cranks does the chain in any way become loose or does it stay stiff through the whole revolution??
  6. maybe just clean inside the brake lever there might be a bit of dirt or contamination that is preventing the piston from moving freely
