    I am in the fastener business, have been for 33 years, do not hit stainless steel fasteners with a hammer on a nut over the threads to move anything, you will damage the thread pitch eventually. Damaged threads on a SS bolt screwed into an aluminium frame part....not good. My family are in the bearing business, manufacturing, installing, inspecting and so on for 45 years, do not remove bearings by putting them in a vice and hitting the bolt with a hammer. Do you have your car exhaust repaired on the pavement? I doubt it but many people do, 10 times or more. Cut the bearing race until it is almost through to the bolt, cool often during the cutting process, tap on the race lightly with a hammer using your vice or a solid steel block as a rest until the race splits open, that's the right way to do it for those interested.

    Yes.

    Do not do this. Sorry V12man, all that will happen is the outer race will separate from the inner race and balls leaving you with the inner race still stuck to the bolt. You may damage the bolt for good measure as well. Best advice is to cut it off with a Dremel as suggested. While on the subject of servicing bearings, I have just replaced all my suspension bearings on my Trance, R 630.00, sourced from Bearing Vision, all bearings top Japanese quality.

    Excellent news, more for us who stay! I'm staying for now, re building a business, too damn old to get in the NZ or Arsestralia but mud island is an easy in for me + I have a son there. Good luck to all of you setting sail for distant shores, hope it works out for you, cant say I'm not a little green.

    Stage Tankwa 2016 01.jpg Are those cables running under the BB supposed to be that far from the frame?

    Hope the batteries for the motors the cyclocross riders use will last the distance.

    Fantastic. For me, a week end warrior this is the answer because it takes the hassel out of which works with what. And to be honest at my level a top of the range group set will not make me faster. Might make me feel great until I shell out for replacement components.

    Let's go, Yolande rides warily down the street, With the shades pulled way down low Ain't no sound but the sound of her feet, Chain and gears ready to go Are you ready, Are you ready for this Are you riding on the edge of your seat Out of the start gate the bullets rip To the sound of the beat Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust And another one gone, and another one gone Another one bites the dust Hey, I'm gonna get you too Another one bites the dust How do you think I'm going to get along, Without you, when you're gone You took me for everything that I had, And kicked me out on my own Are you happy, are you satisfied How long can you stand the heat Out of the start gate the bullets rip To the sound of the beat

    The best parts of these types of threads are the 1st two pages, you get the basic outline of the sum of the thread, and the last few pages where it has degenerated into a slanging match between bikehub members. Kinda like a Boksburg nightclub on a Friday, a punchup in every bottle of foaming diesel. Or a verbal abuse in every thread about a pro bike rider getting bust. I'll stick with "they all do it" and not be too disappointed when the story breaks about my favourite of the day. What will we come up with on Friday?

    Was always going to be a tough ask to beat last years kit. Those black and white stripes with the black and yellow Q/hand were easy to spot in a sea of colour that is the pro peleton.

    Question: Would I be better off in wading boots? Do I buy them sized to wear with a neoprene sock for the possibility of using waders in winter? Thanks.

    Dullstroom over the holidays. 2.4 kg's. Now to get into a river. Next challenge is to go down to Rhodes later in the year. Any suggestions on how to go about learning to fish rivers. Have a 1 wt as well as a 2/3 wt to start with.

    Reading this thread is interesting, let me ask a question which may help answer a few posts regards price comparisons, and also because I'm curious. When an importer receives a shipment does he receive complete bikes or a frame set with separate components as complete bikes are subject to duty and not bike parts?

    Bit late don't you think?

    Can of chick peas, can of tuna, both drained. Cherry tomatoes, chopped. Baby spinach leaves, olives, feta, olive oil and seasoning. Lucky I hate pies and pizza.

    Any reputable auto paint shop/panel beater will mix the color for you. Not sure why Pyga are not sharing?

    Dare I ask what is the box?

    He continues to entertain me long after I thought he was done and dusted. Fantastic race, VR at his very best. Classic no holds barred final corner. Bravo.
