  1. How would it wear evenly when there is nothing touching the outside? And the inside is used for shiffting?
  2. Did you see that Karma opened the can, not me?
  3. I never said that .... But cyclist behaviour DOES influence how drivers see us Here is an excample, the moment I see a Taxi I make sure he can not push in, overtake me etc etc and that is before he even did anything wrong and just because OTHER Taxis drive like idiots.
  4. Seriously ? Skipping a red light and stop street is pretty obvious. I see cyclist breaking the law on my commute DAILY so the chance is very good that the motorist feels like that. I have also had people tell me at work that cyclist are worse than taxis....that NONE obey the laws. What must I say then ? "but YOU text and drive"? How stupid would that bad. I answer with unfortunately you are right MOST cyclist ride like D1cks
  5. Clearly you were typing this while driving.... No capital letter etc.
  6. And so should the other well KNOW pro's and cyclist that were with him.
  7. I disagree, I have asked a Driver to give at least 1m and not pass so close and this was his response " You cyclist dont give F****about road rules so F*** your 1,5M bullsh1t"
  8. WITH your logic, F1 Drivers can speed on our roads because they are pros' and know a thing or two?
  9. So when you are young you are allowed to be reckless? With that logic, is drunk driving ok as long as you are young and reckless? EDIT: Spellcheck
  10. Will do same here, embarrassing at best. But on my next commute when I car brushes my elbow I can assume the driver saw this video and decided ALL cyclist acts like this and not care about my safety
  11. Agreed, lets P155 off as many motorists as we can ..... Edit: Looks like they were breaking the law more than just 3:29
  12. Please let me know once you know, as I have some also and CPT also
  13. if he was truely retired why is he riding those races ?
  14. CSA have no jurisdiction on the event but they do have over the banned rider and can thus extent his ban. Even if KE has retired from racing, CSA is preventing him from riding his bike 9in races (which is his punishment) for a month longer and I think they will extent it again if he should ride another race.
  15. Look here https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/140886-rock-shox-o-rings-specs/ https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/159400-rockshox-o-ring-sizes/
  16. Do some googling I am sure you will find a list somewhere where they give the O-ring sizes
  17. If you fork is 32mm and made in these years. This kit fits Rock Shox Fits All Tora/All Recon/All Sektor/All Argyle/All Revelation/2009-11 Reba/2008-10 SID forks. WRT to crush wsahers, I reuse mine for like 3 services. No need to get new one there is no pressure there, they just seal of that 5ml 5w oil that you put in the lowers before replacing them
  18. I use normal car 5w/40 and it works fine. For o-Rings Do a search to find your Fork o-rings sizes, I think David Marchall replied on the hub somewhere and gave me sizes for 29er fork. https://www.sealandgasket.co.za/products/o-rings/ You want Nitrlie rubber https://za.rs-online.com/web/c/pneumatics-hydraulics-power-transmission/power-transmission-gaskets-seals-packings/seals-o-rings/
  19. No need to replace the "seals" or rather O-rings yet. Just take the lowers of and redo the foam rings (wash them with turps) and oil them up with 5w oil WRT to the lock-out work. that is because the lockout is on the right leg and works with the oil. Now for the air side, and I have see this problem before, open the left side by taking the C-Clip out and pull out the Air shaft (remove air before you start) Now take the aircap off and run a CLEAN rag through the stantion. Now look at the airshaft and O-rings and you will more than likely find the problem 1. O-Rings was sliced / damaged when put into Stantion 2. there is a piece of lint or something stuck on the O-rings causing the leak. Check the top O-ring on the air-shaft and then very bottom one that came out when you took the c-clip out. If the O-rings is cut, take it to any O-rings shop and get a new one for R2 and put it in. Done I buy O-rings in bulk from local O-ring/bearing shop and 20 sets cost me R360 rand. :-) The Rubber wipers and foam rings I get from LBS and it is around R300 per set, but I found that if I do a lower service often I don’t need to replace those for at least 200hours
  20. I wish that TBMTC would build Berms like Conties. Conties berms has no Brake holes, and they seem so stable and you can can take them at speed. Meerendal and Hoogekraal (Faircape, and Vergenoegt) berms are too tight in my mind causing people to hit the brakes in the berm and killing the Berm. MDAL they put some plank before berm so the back wheel goes airborne and locks (othe peole, I dont go fast enough to need brakes) then makes a lekka hole in the berm
  21. I did not select anything from your statement....I said you want to KILL the dog and now you confirmed it. So small Jack russel gets out and bites your kid ? You gonna go KILL it because it should know better? Ok, see your logic carry on.....
  22. There is a difference between protecting yourselft like you say and going and taking the dog out later because of his actions.
  23. I am not saying you can not defend yourself, I mention peperspray. But Robbie mentioned "take him out" If it happens to me and it has, but I was not bitten I managed to keep my bike between me and dog. But did not kick or hit him etc. Just enough "force not to get bitten" However once the owner arrived he got to the hear all about the law etc etc. And that is the part I have an issue with. Take our all your anger on the owner, but if the dog is not longer actively attacking why do it harm it does not know better. I am the 1st person to stop and tell someone that they dog must be on lead even if I am in my car. As I HAD a staffy that did not like other dogs and took him for a walk and some other clots dog came running up, with the owner going "dont worry my dog is friendly" I replied with well mine is not. (was on a lead and now I had picked him up) Then this B1t%$$ said "well then you must not take your dangerous dog for a walk" WTF I have the same right, provided I do it as per the LAW. The same LAW you quoted also PRWEVENTS you from "killing" the dog. WRT to this part I love(d) dogs < You tollerate them
  24. As I said before the dog does not know it is wrong.....however his owner does know. By your logic a kid that does not know any better should be treated in the same way? How many todlers have I seen that goes through a bitting phase? And as I said before, if I ever have to see you "take out a dog" Edit: would love to hear what you would do when a cow, Bulls charges you when riding HK etc? You gonna take them out? Or do they get 2 chances?
  25. The incident I was refering is that we are riding the FARM that be,longs to the owner and dog so we can not expect the owner to keep it on a lead. Legally Please read the SA laws wrt to keeping animals. When it is in a public space it has to be on a lead. This dog on the farm is in its own yard. We can only peperspray the dog to protect ourselfs. With your logic, what are you going to do when on of the bulls on HK farm comes for you??
