  1. Problem seems to be that the pin that pushes the pin out the chain is slightly too thick, sad as the manufacturer claims that it is a 9 and 10 speed breaker? We have tried it on both 9 and 10 speed chains - no luck
  2. Hi Guys, so after buying two multitools with k@k chainbreakers I ended up with two quicklinks in my chain due to a damaged link. Will this be an issue? Oh and I have found a decent chain breaker now! Not a multi tool, just a breaker.
  3. And as always there is some punk with a *** comment, why should we not be able to go out and practice/enjoy our favourite past time - you are missing the big picture!
  4. No, no bicycles allowed on the highway - also no motorbikes with an engine size of smaller than 125cc.
  5. Just wrap some self vulcanising tape around the arms cage - no btl will come out there and you can use any cage. I buy the R 30 plastic cages and have never lost a btl!sms me your cell number for a picture - 083 648 4060
  6. Had an awesome ride, just think they should swop the dates of the Clarens event and the Crater - Clarens wont be as cold and Crater wont be as hot!
  7. Murder wife, claim life insurance - buy more bikes. Park them wherever. No seriously, get a lcd tv - hang on the wall put bike below it, now you can stare at the beauty while watching TV!!
  8. Nice bike, good components - only problem is the weight - weighs over 14kg. I think most of the weight is due to the wheels those Kore wheels are quite heavy. All in all good value for money.
  9. Hi Guys, Does anyone know how far in the cut off is and what the time for the cut off is?(Ultra marathon)
  10. Hi Guys, Does anyone know of a nice camp site near Parys for the crater? Thanks
  11. Hi there, Anyway I can take the measurements off my bike and mail to you?
  12. Really guys? Dissapointed in the land of the Cheetah
  13. I never converted my Merida, just bought a 29er - loving it!!
  14. My pet hate is those idiots who will post :pm sent to make people think the item is sold and they pm you a *** question or offers you a ridiculous price.
  15. get a Scott Spark! Twinloc system is amazing and you wont break the frame!!!
  16. c'mon guys, there has to be a few Sparks in bloem???
  17. decide on the type of riding you will be doing, then make sure whichever one you get - get the right size and have it properly set up!!!
  18. Test drove the Zaskar, did not like the geometry - very relaxed. Also did not like the fork, prefer the specs on the Scott
  19. Have a look at the scott aspect 910, rand for rand very good components compared to other brands
  20. Loads of bad reviews on these wheels, however I have a Spark 950 and have had no issues with the wheels what so ever. I did upgrade after a year to stans rims, purely because I wanted sealed bearing hubs and got a techno lime green set of superstars on the hub that matched the color of the rest of the bike. The only negatives i really experienced was that a ghetto tubeless conversion with insulation tape was very difficult on the Syncros rims due to the deep dish, I had to go buy stans tape which worked like a charm! The wheels are also not the lightest, if you can afford the upgrade - go for it allthough not a necessity it is money well spent!
