  1. Hi, I have a shop in fourways JHB and we Specialize in servicing etc. Can build u a set of wheels no problem. My price on a Hope/ztr (crest/arch) with pillar double butted spokes and alu nipples about R6k but I can build u a set of Novatec hubs + pillar spokes + ZTR rims for around or under your budget. if u went with brass nipples. Nice thing with alu nipples can colour code also lighter. This wheel set would probably be about 1.5kg or there about. Novatec hubs are sealed bearings and replacement parts are super cheap so will never break the bank. I can supply references if u would like. I have many happy regular clients. Drop me a mail and if u would like a quote or to discuss things further. Josh info@cyclistsworkshop.co.za
  2. To keep the running cost down I generally just do a "lube service" on the fork to keep it smooth R200, and then recommend replacing the dust wipers when there is excessive fluid loss or leaking from them. It is fairly common for them to have a little wet ring but it should not be wet and running down the lower legs.

  4. Personal loan from the bank is an option
  5. A) no. If they are 9speed 105 shifters no issue. All 9 speed shimano road items are compatible B) guessing here but probably R1000???
  6. i can get the 2 bikes for same price. I have to recommend the one for my brother and this is his first bike.... the pressure LOL
  7. http://www.merida-bikes.com/en_za/bike/2012/7/MTB+Full+Suspension/Ninety-Nine+2000-D or http://www.silverback.co.za/2011_website_SILVERBACK/mercury1.htm Which one is the better bike and why? would like some advice on it. (price is not the issue)
  8. No Clue about leg speed - was doing about 20-23km/h on flats - couldnt pedal faster - was hurting LOL
  9. Next year it will be my fifth 94.7 but my first on a road bike. catch is im doing it twice for charity for the Paige Project.
  10. I didnt do it for charity and I am really starting to regret it cos I have had so much response. If anyone is willing to donate please donate to the Paige Project you can contact David Barson <cycle@thepaigeproject.co.za>
  11. I couldnt get a cleat pedal into the BMX crank so in the end modified a spinning bike crank and axle to fit the frame. 100KM in takkies was not gonna be fun on that lil thing
  12. Hi all, on a previous topic a pic was posted of me on a 16" BMX which I rode 2 years ago. I am sure many saw me this year on my even smaller 12" kiddies bike. This year i did a 4h40 on the lil bike. Well done to all who finished 2011 and lets hope for a faster 2012 Many thanks to Educos (Sponsor)and to all the support and cheering along route - couldn't have done it without the help.
  13. Hi, Here is some info. 1) U know they are worn out when the gold wears off - this often happens cos the foam rings are dry. Also sometimes u can see a change in colour but its not too bad so its fine to use however if u can feel the groves and it is leaking it must be changed. The bushing in the fork would also need to be done. Fork should go to Fox themselves for this kind of service. 2) The top section of the forks are generally about R2500 but depends on model and year etc. thats just a round number for the stention. U can expect between R2500 - R3500 depending on mark-ups and cost of parts for ur particular fork! 3) Yes it is a common thing. Bushing should be replaced every 2-3 services atleast. A service meaning that new fluid, foam rings, and dust wipers are replaced. Hope that helps
