The larger bearing should be a 6805 2rs same as the shimano, etc. external bb. The smaller one is 6902 2rs IIRC.

I've ridden Neverland a few times, it's quite fun a bit short though. One day decided we would ride along the hiking trail/contour towards Orangekloof, was a bit of portage involved but pretty cool. Also possible to ride from East Fort up towards Blackburn Ravine.

Pretty sure it's still there

Not a bad idea this. Also check out on-one.co.uk, they have some decent CX frames there too

WRT widening the chainstays, Google "dimpling chainstays". Speak to a frame builder about how difficult it would be to put on disc brake or cantilever brake tabs. David Mercer put a disc brake mount on my old Diamondback. Not so sure about putting disc tabs on the fork though

Cool. Usually I'm the one asking guys to ride at ridiculous o'clock.

Next time you're in the area. Give me a shout

Gonna check it out tomorrow

I won't post a pic of my stash then

Lol You guys have made me thirsty. Now the decision is between a Windhoek or Johnny Walker Black Label

Johnny Walker?

Good point Straighten the hanger, BUT install a new one. Keep the "straightened" one in your camelback just in case EDIT: Reminder to self, get a spare hanger

Technically the max. capacity of the long cage is 43t and the medium 35t. The only time you'd need a full 43t capacity is if you are severely cross-chaining. i.e. large front & large rear (42t+36t = 78) as well as small front & small rear (24t+11t = 35) (78-35 = 43) If you say more used large chainring and 2 down from the largest sprocket (42t & 28t = 70) and smallest chainring and second smallest sprocket (24t & 13t = 38). Even this is fairly extreme IMHO. Then the capacity required is 33t, which medium will happily cater for. In practice, I buy what I can afford/get hold of. Wanted a medium cage shimano clutch RD, could only get a large so that's what I have, works great.

Yes

Been looking forward to this but going to have to give this a miss due to Mothers Day

Ming trying hypnotise me into giving her a piece of my peanut butter toast.

That's what the post office is for Let me know if you don't come right

Looking closer is the mussel shell part of it or just being used to hold it

Is that real or not possibly a hoax?

I think I saw one at Bridge Cycles the other day. What size is the seat tube? I'll only be able to get there next week at the earliest, so let me know if you don't come right

Will try to be there

Thanks for the feedback

That is a good idea!!!

I've never paid more than 15% and an admin fee if they've opened the package.
