Hi. I see you obtained a strip of these pins. Was it from the site you mentioned above and was the size correct ? On pic it looks a bit too long, but if so perhaps a larger hole, back insert and spacer on the soldering size ? Anyway I have the same pin problem and will glady pay you for 2 pins ?

What do you think of this gel: Fructose: 38.2% Glucose: 31.3% Maltose: 7.1% Sucrose: 1.3% Water: 17.2% Higher sugars: 1.5%

Definitely look at the Titan Racing specials at various dealers. Best value for money

Thanks for all the ideas guys ! It was very misty the morning when I started, which had me worried re safety, so I avoided the R27 - and I got a lift to Malmesbury where the mist was starting to clear. Decided to use my MTB because of unknown road/shoulder conditions on suggested routes. I went Malmesbury - Hopefield - Vredenburg - St Helena (last bit on the old gravel/newly tarred road) It was a bit shorter than I was hoping for, but I found the road fairly quiet, and the shoulder was good all the way. Definitely will do this route on a road bike next time. The last Vredenburg/St Helena piece was stop and go because of water drainage channels under construction etc. but no problem on the MTB because I rode in the closed lane.

Rubber Latex with a Latex block will work on small deposits like a road tyre. MTB tyres, in my experience, when they need to cleaned, it is usually because there is a lot of sealer to get off. I tried rubber bands (about 80% latex) but it was impractical - and getting a 'block of latex' i.e. crepe is not so easy. (unless you buy bulk latex and cast your own blocks.) But, MTB tyres with a thin latex /sealer coverings are actual not a problem - but thick heavy dried deposits or blobs, will be difficult to get off with a 'rubbing latex block'. The method I use, in a post earlier, works well for me - possibly because the cloth get a fine layer of sealant/latex on it.

Thanks Guys ! Great suggestions, thank you. I think the Malmesbury, Hopefield, Vredenburg, Stompneusbaai - basically the R45 looks like an alternative to the busy coast R27 road. I like the suggestion of going via Malmesbury, Darling and West Coast Park - but I ...time/distance makes this a maybe.

Great thanks !

DM me too please. Thank

Going to road cycle to St Helena Bay. Looks like the R27 is the only sensible direct route. Did a ride out to Yzerfontein some years ago, and seamed to be ok. Any advice on safety or any other thoughts ? Thanks.

I agree with the comments re 3X front means you don't normally need a bigger cassette. If some steep hills are too much for you - and you have a 24 upfront, then a 36 at rear was popular. And , yes, a 36 cassette will fit because of your long derailleur cage. But you could also change to a 22 up front - Still cheaper that changing cassettes. Personally, the cassette in the pic still looks good to me.

Yes. Commentators doing their best - but, that doesn't mean it's any good, Gerald needs a speech therapist, listen to him - cannot concentrate, so he fills the simplest sentences with 'erm' every second word. Cycling needs to find someone better or get him therapist assistance. (And the; it's 'free' viewing comments, are nonsense. )

Hi, going up to Jo'Burg for a short visit; Any suggestions for good fun trails - (staying on kayalami side of town) :- I will be riding alone - so prefer : Very Safe area/trails Lots of single-track Minimum 40km (or more, but under 1000m ascent) (I'm from CT area/trails - so please not suggestions like Steyn-City - made that mistake once on the pre 94.7, mtb event)
