  1. +1 My thoughts exactly. If the parts are still original, it might need replacing soon... R7k seems a bit steep.
  2. +1 Cable Tension
  3. Been discussed before: http://www.thehubsa....hl__backtracker http://www.thehubsa....hl__backtracker http://www.thehubsa....hl__backtracker EDIT: Link EDIT: Brilliant idea!
  4. As long as the 'speed' matches, i.e 10-speed, you will be fine. You can even use a SRAM 10-speed cassette with no worries.
  5. Most likely weight. I ride a Tiagra cassette on my Dura-Ace/Ultegra setup. Cheap and cheerful. EDIT: That said, marketing plays a big role. I still run a 9-speed setup: SRAM 9-Speed chain, Tiagra 9-Speed Cassette, Dura-Ace 9-Speed front and rear derailleurs, Ultegra 10-Speed Crankset and Ultegra 10-Speed STI's and everything operates perfectly. Perfect shifting. EDIT: I use a JTEK 'shift mate' to match the 10-speed STI's to the 9-Speed rear derailleur.
  6. Can't help, but also 30 and having a 'midlife crisis'. Thinking of career change etc. Glad to know I am not the only one.
  7. LOL PS: Is he paying you to take the bike off his hands?
  8. SCAM! http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1577412/

  11. Sir Fluffy Wheels
  12. If the price is similar and the quality comparable to internationally manufactured products, why not?
  13. FIA - No action against Rosberg.
  14. Personally don't think Rosberg did it on purpose. He is a good driver, but lacks that killer instinct. Michael S on the other hand... That said, he is still my favourite for the world championship this season. Lewis, on the other hand, is acting a bit like a child at the moment. If he did it on purpose, the FIA will take action. No need to act the way he currently is doing. He is showing that same mental immaturity that has plagued him over the last couple of years at McLaren. It is all a mind game and I suspect that, given his past behaviour, Lewis will come of second best to Rosberg (even though Lewis is arguably a 'better' driver).
  15. Seems ok. 5-Year old bike though.
  16. My experience, also non-drive side: added some thread tape to the BB cup and the creaking stopped.
  17. Yip, scam. The pic of the Vision wheels is from Australia!
  18. Agree 100%. It appears that the new chassis is working much better or suiting his driving style much more.
  19. I see he was last active on thehub yesterday at 14:46. Nothing since?
  20. See: https://my.garmin.com/mygarmin/marketing/register.htm You will need the serial number of the unit (should be on the box if you did not write it down).
  21. Yes, 100%. Excellent Service!
  22. Jongensfontein - great place! I go there quite often. Enjoy.
