  1. Hi guys, Anyone know of a place that rents Road/TT bikes in East London? Thanks.

  3. The O rings on my Stan's 15mm Axle End Caps need to be replaced, anyone have an idea of the O ring size? Thank you.
  4. My uncle who is a farmer and has a very good knowledge of snakes said the same thing but have also checked and they don't seem to be found here.
  5. Almost stepped on this guy whilst running on the contour path above kirstenbosch a little while ago, not sure whether it was dead or alive but I did some very swift evasive maneuvers when I saw it initially!

  9. Found this bunch of keys en route to the blockhouse late yesterday afternoon. Call or message me if they are yours. 0832551255 matblake@gmail.com
  10. This is an email that was forwarded to me by a mate of mine, it is from Interac, who I see from their website are the agents for Continental tyres. I felt I needed to share, please enjoy... Regarding the use of low air pressures in MTB tyres, would you please pass the following on to your dealers and to cyclists in general, to make them aware of the fact that tyres submitted with damage caused by under inflation will be rejected. For guidance, the following should be noted: Assuming average rider weight of around 75kg, the following are recommended pressures for MTB tyres depending on width of the tyres: 2.0” 3.0 bars 2.2” 2.5 bars 2.4” 2.0 bars Under no circumstances should any tyres be run lower than 1.8 bars and that only on soft surfaces (ie beach sand). Tyres which are run below the recommended pressures are subjected to excessive sidewall flex and tread squirm. This will eventually lead to rapidly escalating material degradation of the tyre casing which will then display signs of excessive perishing in the rubber covering on the sidewalls. In cases of extended riding at lower than recommended inflation pressures, the threads in the tyre casing material will begin to separate and diagonal cracks will become visible in the sidewalls of the tyres. In some instances, tyre distortion or bubbling of the tread rubber will occur due to tread delamination from the casing. These are not material or manufacturing defects and there will be no warranty acceptance for tyres damaged by under inflation. Let me know if any further information is required regarding the fitting and use of tyres. I’ve attached a guide for fitting MTB tyres and the work can be tedious. However, correctly fitted tyres run at recommended pressures, will virtually eliminate the downtime caused by punctures, handling issues, and tyre degradation. Cheers Ray INTERAC
  11. There is plenty walking on the Epic, especially if you start in the latter bunches. Sometimes you don't have a choice, its rideable but everyone else is walking so your only option is to hop off and join the club. If your partner is walking its generally easier to walk too, especially if you are pushing her bike as well as yours... Specialized Epic Comp with good quality socks was a winning combo for me.
  12. Sorry man, have two sets of wheels, one for each
  13. I've ordered two already ($100 each) and they include a 16t to replace the 15t and 17t , shipping was free and they arrived pretty quickly, paid customs fee at the post office, so all very easy.
