  1. You can also put insulation tape round the post as a marker of where you insert the post to. It won't allow it to slip further
  2. but it seems the SL629 is a lower specced bike (besides the carbon frame) x5/x7 components, elixer 1 brakes, recon silver fork, and 12.17kg (heavier)
  3. What about buying one of those small adapters from presta to shraeder and then buy the midas digital guage - I think mine was less than R100. Probably will be cheaper and then you can use on your cars
  4. I See he answered the marriage question - dinner date first
  5. for low weight I hear the DarkHorse wheels are light (1250g for a 38mm clincher, 1300g for a 50mm clincher, and 1180g for a 50mm tubby). And they are very reasonable prices (I think below R 10 000) Edit: and they look pretty good as well
  6. I use the Lezyne v-10 multi tool. One of the lightest and compact 10 piece sets around - works well for me.
  7. I carry a spare link. Very good spare to carry. But only truly effective with a chain-breaker (to break the broken chain to fit the link. It is not a stupid question, very valid one
  8. WOW that's terrible!! Hope they find the scum.
  9. We use the Motorex bike Grease 2000 - Seems to work great *Edit* It is good at quieting the Avid brakes down...
  10. I don't think he means putting the tire on the rim. I think its the seating that's the problem. We have had problems seating my father's tires onto the syncros wheels - we use specialized tires - the tires go very easily onto the rim, and we need to use either a compressor or CO2 bomb to get the tire to seat. don't have the same problem getting the same specialized tires onto stan's wheels - so must be the Syncros rims I have the same problem with my dt swiss 445d rims on my specialized rockhopper - the Specialized tires go on easily (don't need tire leavers) and need a very sharp blast of air to get it to seat. Try having someone lightly pulling the tire outwards, to try to guide the bead of the tire onto the lip of the rim, while you are pumping.
  11. well the scale 900 sl is 8.2 kg, so this will be below 8
  12. I use the specialized ones. They are nice and stiff when new. Have used them for 2 years. But broke one when I crashed and hit it with my knee. But no problems otherwise But also, some bottle shapes fit better than the others with the specialized
  13. I heard that 6 went to hospital from the corkscrew
  14. Ito multitool I have the lezyne sv-10. It is very nice and compact for 10 tools including chainbreaker. It is also light (about 100G) Edit: I have the V-10
  15. One can wish...
  16. I had the same thing on my sid - rubbing on the lowers. Got a wheelbuilder to re-dish wheel for fork - no problems since
  17. I hear the darkhorse wheels are nice and light and are at a good price (less than 10 000 for the set) (not sure exactly)
  18. Well In Kenilworth I have used Crown Cycles and they have been good. Haven't had issues 5 months down the line. Haven't been to bike shops in Durbanville so not sure
  19. I would be quite worried about the last picture. Would worry about that clamp and mountain biking. Not sure if it will be strong enough...
  20. It is. you can choose to have a dual tandem or a triple, quad or quint.
  21. I was looking at S&S's website and came across this... Collapsible full suspension tandem for 5 people... Imagine trying to ride trails on this
  22. Maybach Exelero
