  1. Today coming down from Pinetown, +/- 12:30pm there was a female in Lotto cycyling gear behind her pace car on the M13 near the N3 split to Durban.The car had Limpopo plates on and the hatch was open. Unfortunately no team branding on the car. She would have been in the centre lane at some stage before the split. Cars doing 100kph.... don't know how that will work when she hits the hills. And we wonder why motorists see us as a menace.
  2. I'm looking at spraying my white fork black. Will it discolour the original finish when I peel it off? I sprayed the clear on a silver Trance frame, after peeling it off it looked a bit yellow but after a clean with parafin it look fine.
  3. My NS Eccentric Steel in with 26" wheels can also do 27.5". Lots of fun and comfy. Just wish I had more talent!
  4. Hi all, about 3 mths ago the day after an indoor rowing session I experienced pain in the elbow. About 8 yrs ago I had the same problem with the same elbow. I've been resting it ( not always possible), icing twice a day and used Diclofenac and CataflamD on 2 seperate occasions. Still no relief. Pain on the point of the bone on the outside of the elbow, down the forearm and it looks like I've lost some muscle on that forearm. My grip strength is poor. Where to now - GP, Physio, Biokineticist? I'm in Glenwood, Durban any referral or advice appreciated. I was thinking about Kings Park Sports Medicine Centre. Thanks Guineapig.
  5. Rapide no 30T only 32T - I've got that one Evobikes - no stock Lbs - generally not too sharp. I prefer to support hubber online stores.
  6. HI, anyone know where to get a 30T 104BCD NW chainring - locally?
  7. Hi, I have a RS Sektor DP 150-120mm, the fork won't reduce to the lower travel. Can anyone recomend someone in Durban. Any advice is welcome. Thanks Guineapig
  8. The acids and harmful compounds - will they cause any corrosion? I was also under the impression that the frame would develop surface rust which prevents further corrosion. Thanks to everyone for adding to the confusion
  9. Thanks for the feed back. Always interesting to see the differing opinions. Being in Durban I will do a protective coating even though the bikes live in the house. Any local suppliers of the products mentioned, besides Tectyl? Once the frame arrives I know I won't be able to wait for an import. Half the joy is in the actual build.
  10. Morning All Hopefully I will be receiving my NS Eccentric frame this week. Before I build the bike should I Tectyl inside the tubes or does the Chromoly 4130 only rust on the surface? Thanks Guineapig.
  11. Good day all This the 26" fork. Any first hand knowledge would be great. Is this any good? I found one review only, on Bikeradar. I like the travel adjust option but can you adjust the travel on the fly? - This is what I'm hoping. Or do I have to stop? Would the RL Solo Air version be better? It does not have the travel adjust though. Thanks
