  1. So they have mtb’s but ride road/ gravel????
  2. So then you are on your own? or are you riding with people that still runs 2 x10
  3. Who are you riding with and what gearing do they have? All my rding buddies (all 4 of them ) run 1 x systems and I am yet to "spin out" but then again I can sit at 115 rpm for a while
  4. To the guys who say they "spin out" at what RPM do you "spin out" ? In the groups I ride, we are doing the same speed so either we all "spin out" or we are in the 32 x 10 or 32 x11 (me in this have to do 8rpm more than the others) So I am not sure where this "spinning out" happen you are talking about ?
  5. Not sure why you want to grease to the steerer at all. Grease the bearing interface. Very lightly Carbon paste where handle bar clamps. Every other place on the steerer etc should be dry
  6. That is not real a place to put carbon paste. Rather use a thin layer of grease
  7. Against many here on the hub’s recommendation. I use no soap, chain comes of into some turps. Rest of the bike is washed with water. Hi pressure cleaner with water only. Never had bearings go or any issues. After that I use compressed air and blow dry most. Unlike a friend who used some product to spray on and wait. The rinse 20 min later. He needed 3 sets of bearings in a year. Btw. I have washing my bikes like for the last 15 years
  8. Adjusting the screw is a once off setting. It controls the spring that makes it tighter or looser to unclip. It does not work for worn cleats. But the pedals also get some wear to the point where brand new cleats will still slide backwards and forwards in the pedals. When this happens I take the plate off the pedal and file down the edge where the rear spring loaded part stops against the front plate. 0.00something of a mm. Put back and test. No play......go ride.
  9. If you trouble unclipping don’t file anything. That is for when your cleats slide within the pedal
  10. XT and XTR is very easy to service. Time consuming but can be done. The other ones need a little tool to service unless you don’t care if the plastic get a bit damaged
  11. Plan for it = Cool Train for it = Cool Drop R100k on it as it might happen = hmmmm not me thanks
  12. Was this not the spar owner that told some to "Fu&^ off"
  13. I dont understand what you are saying Where is BC? You mentioned 150 Cov per day for 30 days and then talk about WC excess death of 1200 per week? What does this part mean " I'd guess we have better mask etiquette and not so good healthcare. BC might do a bit better if you improve on wearing masks."
  14. Apparently the risk of getting is on a plane is way less than a restaurant
  15. Air in the plane is not circulated from what I understand, it comes in from the top blows to the bottom and out the back.
  16. I read up about this, and the big difference is when you are waiting in line there is not much airflow The moment you step on the plane there is airflow from top to bottom
  17. TBMTBC has sent at least 4 notices wrt this. This behaviour can have an impact on the club and trails, if we want to keep the trails then please assist by telling your fellow ridier to mask up. Did not quote for any reason Eddy
  18. Guys who keeeeeeeep posting "shut this down and move on" = Unfollow it / dont read it. I find it funny how morne can quickly come post here but when there was an issue with the thing he sold he did not reply to a whatsapp for hours/days. He took that high ground that the buyer should wait he is ready to talk to him "kan jy nie foken regig ni wag tot die naweek ni" He belittled the buyer "As jy slim genoeg was het jy dievurk sefl weer verkoop" He told to buyer to go for it when buyer mentined hub. "Great go vir dit" Then he came here and cried lies lies and told the buyer to post the whatsaps or he would. AND the whatsapp just show what a boks he was . morne, does your whatsapp have a character limit that you can not complete a word properly? It is people like morne that give bikeshops, service centers a bad rap. People like him who will take newbie for ride, charge more than what he should etc etc And those people are our friends, many do not have lots of money and can not afford to overpay for GX upgrade kit by 3k ( another "bikeshop")
  19. Study was for. HCW. Health care workers. They conclude that a medical mask should worn. Same as what the article I posted said. Not sure why you say we are going around in Circles? A statement like yours. “Going around in circles until you read this” on a forum seems like you are saying “Stop discussing it, read this link and get yourself to my standard”
  20. Or you can also post it. You claim there were two sides. Lets see it then
  21. Why must he wait for his money? If you said " i asked for his banking details and offered to reimburse him now, and collect on 7 Feb" then you might have had a little toe stand on. You have 15 year experiece and can not tell a 650B from a 29er? Now I am wondering how many riders that used you are riding around with the wrong internals in their suspension
