excellent, thank you

I havent been in the area for a while and was wondering if the road between Hermanus and Stanford is now suiotable for road riding now that the roadworks are done?

Any opnions on the Ryder KMAG road pedals? Struggling to find any reviews online.

Looking to buy pedal washers, need 16. Can't seem to find them online in SA. Any pointers for sourcing the online or a bike shop in Cape Town that may stock them? Thanks

And the winner is Jewbacca. Dodgy left Speedplay pedal. Swopped it out for another one and quiet bliss on this morning's ride. At least every component on the bike is also now correctly tightened and greased. Thanks for all the input.

Have eliminated that, new wheels and skewers fitted

That was the initial diagnosis, the cups have been removed, checked, refitted according to Colnago specs. New BB bearings also fitted. I have been assured that everything is in spec in relation to the BB and cups.

I have changed wheels, that wasnt the issue.

mostly pedalling, occasionally while coating. Havent noticed if it is still there standing, I guess that would eliminate the saddle and seat post. will check it out. Thanks

The strange thing is that you can definitely hear it when you pedal, and occasionally while I am coasting, so it seems to rule out the BB area. Not the cable ends but could be a pedal issue, will ty swap them out and see if that helps. Neville was the last guy to work on the bike and it was silent when it came back, took about 3 weeks before the noise reappeared. I will probably take it back to him. Thanks for the input.

I have a Colnago V2-R which is a stunning machine. However it has developed a very annoying ticking sound. the bike has been checked over extensively by 2 reputable bike shops. Both times the bike came back silent, but the noise appeared again after a few rides. No one has been able to say definitively what the source of the noise is. All bearings, headset, BB, cranks bolts, etc. have been checked. I am looking for a recommendation for a mechanic that can get to the bottom of the issue once and for all. I am based in the southern suburbs, Cape Town. Thanks Evan

Thanks, rides like a dream

Just built up

Not sure, but would like to stick with Campy bolts if possible.

I am desperately looking for 2 chain ring bolts for a Campag Chorus 11 speed crankset (2010 model). the one bolt is the one that attaches to the crank arm, so longer than the other 4. Part model number is FC-SR100. I have been quoted between R800 and R1200 for a set of 5 bolts. I a hoping someone has some lying around or an old trashed crank. The pic below shows the missing bolts. Thanks Evan

I actually worked for the SABC for 18 months. The ineptitude is widespread

Any else think that the TV covergae on SABC 2 was awful. Camera work was dismal. I think we missed a very good race Well done to Malcolm

These also work great - http://www.use1.com/products/spin_stix/

Peru August 2009 - top of a 2000 metre descent. Brake pads were trashed. Temperature change of about 15 degrees between top and bottom.

What are the rates for sessions?

Having a touch of insomnia, so browsing the news site and I stumble across this gem - http://www.fin24.com/articles/default/display_article.aspx?Nav=ns&ArticleID=1518-24_2472073 It appears Eskom is going to thank us all for using less juice by raising its prices further. Go figure

Thanks for all the replies - JB is going to sort it out for me

The LBS set it up, I dont really trust them to sort it out, so want to look elsewhere
