Yeah, same Dr

Had shoulder issues a while back. Started off with not being able to move the arm when I would wake up, then ended up lasting for 2 days. Eventually turned out to be a calcium build up in the joint. One surgeon wanted to go in and grind it out, went to Shoulder institute in Stellenbosch - they said it was breaking down already and they just flushed it with some saline solution. Hasn't been back again. Apparently it is quite common in women.

First time doing the 60km, was this route the same as previous years?

Cool, thanks Cpt

I need to get a new derailleur hanger for my Ibis (plus a spare), anyone know offhand of shop in Cape Town that might have. Going to do some calling tomorrow but figure someone might know of a place that might have a good chance of having one?

I am looking to find some light weight tubes for emergencies. A good few years back I was able to buy a nice light and compact (when folded) spez tube. Now when I go into the local shops and ask fir a lightweight 26" tube all I get is a confused look. Anyone know if these still exist?

Yep, definitely looks like a cosmetic coating (probably to change the branding) - the inners are 100s - thought it might the snakeskin peeling but I have no idea how the tyre itself is put together.

It looks like the branding was not correct and they sprayed some kind of rubber over it and rebranded.

Just washed the bike and it looks like a section if the sidewall is peeling (not sure if it is from the sidewall scraping something) - the thing is there appears to be other Schwalbe branding underneath? Anyone else seen this before?

Because the gears are skipping at random and only when suspension is in motion it is the gear housing setup. Bent hangers, chainlinks, etc will result in a constant skipping irrespective of whether you riding on the road or mountain.

The problem is the gear cable housing lengths are probably a bit too long/short and is kinking when the bike goes through it's suspension travel. Check the lengths of housing especially where it connects the front triangle to the rear. Good way is to remove air from the rear shock and then check that the cable does not pull when your suspension goes through it's travel - also ensure the inner cable still move freely.

Trying to revitalize my baby 650b conversion until I can afford a new one. Going to trim the steerer soon.

The top one is a clamp used to keep your post at a set height if the hydraulics fail.

William's (when I can get out that way) Action Cycling Have bought from numerous LBS, but always get the best service and sound advice from these two.

If you take the fork off the bike and grip the lowers between your feet and then grip the crown in the center by the steerer and twist it clockwise/anticlockwise you should be able to hear if it is coming from the stanchions/crown join.

I had two older model Fox forks that would creak where the stanchions were pressed into the crown. Apparently it as quite common in their older models. I also had a revelation that developed a creak at the steerer tube/crown fitting.
