Just be mindful of bearing tolerances, I'm not too sure how thick the coating will be, but the tolerances can be quite tight. Let me know how it goes, Been a project I want to do. Cheers Sam

Ooooooh! Pretty! What's her name?

Dear Meneer RenBurg Please read my PM in the top corner of your screen Kind regards Sam

Just plain old rubbing alcohol, cleans them up nicely and allows you to slide them on, then evaporates off. No residue, no fuss.

I have a couple sets of 26er slicks in my garage Pm me your postal/house adress and I'll send them to you Use what you have, no need to buy anything else, just have some fun!

These are quite good at comparing performance. Personal preferences, not so much... Edit- Not 100% sure on the exact year on these graphs though, so actually pretty useless.

I got several of mine last week too, nothing as fancy as yours, but still very happy

I did the 40k (Age restriction meant I couldn't enter 70) Which I am very glad I did! 25k's in I managed to snap 2 adjacent links in my chain. Needless to say as am a weight weenie and didn't have a power link or multitool with a chain breaker on me as that would have added FAR to much weight and NEVER be needed! Well I most certainly needed one. So I ripped off my chain, stuffed in my pocket, dropped my saddle and made one of these bad boys fit for a 6ft 1' individual 'Rode' or 'Ran' for ten K's like that and then found a nice guy who was more than happy to give me his multitool and power link. Thanks Ben! Fun race, pity a few tech sections got a bit congested but overall despite my push bike, Great day out on the bike.

Thanks, That's a good deal with current exchange rate

Thanks for the replies will call Linden and Complete on Monday, Do you know what the going rate in SA is on them?

Hi Guys, Really running out of Ideas, Im building up a bike and found a crack in my 15mm Rockshox maxle... Net result I need an Axle ASAP and cant seem to find any around. I really am out of Ideas and looking for one to buy, so if anyone has one to sell (new or like new conditoion) or knows if any shops in JHB have stock please let me know. Can any shops in JHB source one for me quickly? Or are these only really availible online? If so who can I rely on to get it to me this week? Sorry to post an ad and forum, really need to finish my steed ... Thanks in advance, Cheers Sam

@Raab what EBB is that? What BB she'll is on the peace? Nice build Cheers

Yeah they do, going past later today will get the numbers as I need some more. I bought a box

Yeah sounds like Ryanpmb may have hit it bang on the money

How often are you tensioning it? (The new chain)

I'm sitting at four weeks and counting with standard delivery, you can be very lucky or very unlucky like myself with standard delivery although for £6.50 you can't fault it as that is cheaper than some local bike online shop couriers I have however heard of people ordering Monday and receiving Friday! I wish

I like the Würth ones.. I believe cheaper than parktool and there is a store in Randburg

Good spot

Veeeery nice little toy for the garage!

JB Where did you manage to pick those up? Sounds like a good idea to me

Here's another one... Popped into my mail box this morning from Rapide: More roadie, but the black ones could pass off nicely:) Not sure on the quality of the Photochromic, anyone got a review to share? They fall within your budget nicely Otherwise listen to these guys... Wait for another ASG special and get a pair of Rudy 's

Sorry called bearing man back to double check...lady gave me the wrong size originally, they are R95 each, so it is a bargain

Anyone got a price from a bearing manufacturer as Bearingman quoted me R184 per bearing excl vat,not exactly a bargain....? Bearing Numbers are 6806-2RS
