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.

No duties on parts. So VAT and possibly a handling fee

The chain line will be different, of course. But you might be ok with that. Provided you don't run into to any clearance issues it'll work. Try it and if it doesn't work then get a new BB.

My friend and I were discussing this on Saturday. Also "coming to a build day" should not have to be a pre-requisite for making a suggestion. If the suggestion has merit it should be considered.

Does the Giant post cost that much? I was under the impression more like R1500

I believe SANParks received the same email

I agree

Can you remember what the shipping costs were (in dollar)?

Agreed

The amount of alien growth can be directly attributed to the lack of burn. Rode the trail on Saturday and in a way I found it much more fun than before because of the alleyway of trees (could be the new bike, but I don't know). Every summer the trails take a hiding. Look at Snake eyes (AFAIK no maintenance has been done there in a LONG TIME) and Vasbyt (weathered quite well this summer IMHO). You say the final direction of the trail was not to be decided till the burn was completed, could this not have added to the degradation of the trail? I'll make a prediction, the burn will not happen within the next either, possibly even the year after that (AFAIK there still hasn't been a burn by Cobra).
