  1. Hi, does anybody know of a reputable person in Pretoria to do repairs on a steel frame that is cracked by the lugs?
  2. Old topic, but for what its worth, i have been using BBB photo chromatic glasses for a 3 years now, work great and priced reasonable. May need to replace them as the lenses are now rather scratched.
  3. Hi guys, is FSA still being represented in the country?If so, who are the agents?
  4. I carry both, bombs and a mini pump. Bombs only for emergency ,pump rest of the time.
  5. These are available locally i am told. http://www.orpland.com/
  6. Shorter rides i dont use my camelbak, longer rides i do. I have a friend who uses his on every ride, i guess everything is in it.
  7. Scum! I see now why some of my cycling buddies carry firearms and are trained to use them.
  8. Muccoff supply a small UV light with there one dry lube, so that you can see how much you apply etc. I have tried engine oil out of desperation on a holiday trip. It picks up a lot of sand and grime.
  9. Was looking forward to it till i had a clash of exam dates.
  10. Im using an XECCON 1000 lumen and quite happy with it, however only heard good things about extreme lights. The ryder series seem quite popular, i thought my xeccon is a re-branded ryder with the battery connection different.
  11. I think RavX makes with a 10degree rise.
  12. When i first saw it, i thought "oh great, repackaged squirt". Then i had a chat with Ruaan, the owner/producer of it. He gave a long explanation on how he developed it and over a few years, he finally had a product he was happy with. I was still skeptical till i tested it out. Great in dry conditions, it applies very nicely and for a dry lube it works surprisingly well in muddy conditions .I used it at the Tygervalley MTB 70KM which was really muddy and it worked well, even after being submerged completely in the first 15km at the river crossing. Have used it on the roadbike too with great results. It must be applied the night before for best results, i tried 5 minutes before a ride and didnt work too well.Great local product and would recommend it as well.
