  1. Old hand planers. Free to someone who is interested. Randburg based (Ferndale) Must collect. PM if you are interested
  2. Hi all Is this product available locally
  3. What parts are you looking for? I might have some spares
  4. Around here we call them Ystervark tires! They have so many snot-stokkies them, like quills from a Porcupine Not to worry, a proper plug can last a long time. Or you can leave the thorns in and take a gamble. Hope you have tubeless tires
  5. The upper part of the track has many loose sandy sections, which I did not enjoy. The bottom part is way better, with fast flowing single track and corners. It was around 28km with 100m elevation There are some serious thorns there. I removed around 5 which was about 2cm in length
  6. Received my rear wheel from Lyne components. Fitted first time like a glove. Good service from them
  7. Thanks Judging by this drawing, I'm not sure it will work. How did you damage your rim?
  8. Hi Hubbers Can a loose Mavic crossmax ST rear hub ratchet ring be repaired? The ratchet ring turns inside the hub. My rant I purchased these wheels from a fellow hubber (DevonHolmes) a while a go for a future bike build. Well the time arrived approx 4 weeks ago The rear wheel was sold without a free hub. Then it arrives without a rear axle too! He did not know what the difference is between a freehub and axle. Long story - short, ordered all the parts required to complete the wheel from Mavic (R 2,800), only to find the ratchet ring inside the hub is loose. I did give him an opportunity to respond, maar hy is nou soos mis voor son! Passop vir Mnr Devon Holmes
  9. Thanks for that! My Bad, i needed to say boost hubs, not rims. Understanding woman would be easier that getting a set of non boost wheels, 15mm front through axle with 140mm rear with QR adaptors. I'm from the great North, was in JHB over 2 weeks ago. Went to 7 cycling shops to buy wheels, no one has stock. Fitting a micro spline or XD driver is like asking for the correct lotto numbers! Another Tool that was impossible to find in all the shops was a freaking Vernier to measure axle length. The "mega" shop also sold me a used shimano RD, for the price of a new one off coarse.
  10. Hi Hubbers Is there any cyclists here that has knowledge on rear rim options for a NON boost Cannondale hardtail FSi frame (QR) I recently purchased a new set STANS rims from some "mega" store in PTA. Long story short, they send me the boost version. I was told that Cannondale can only use specific rims that are dished to one side? Is this true? So it should be an A-symmetrical setup? Thanks
  11. Here is some insight from an importer of European machinery. Pre covid: Manufactured steel (components) Euro 800.00/ton 1 year into covid Euro 1,600/ton January 2020 = Euro 2,400.00/ton Currently pre orders to secure product and availability = Euro 3,000.00/ton Pre Covid cargo airfreight : Euro 2.40/kg Currently at Euro 4.30/kg Limited flights also Shipping cost from China increased x 3 with huge delays (Ships and containers) And then, the middleman also has to take his cut. So I can tell you, things are not going to change any time soon
  12. Hy sê jou twee keer, selfde soos Grey en Affies
  13. Maybe if they change it to the 942 Race, they will get it right
  14. Thanks, Ill be in touch shortly
  15. Does anyone know a hardware specialist with regards to Hybrid Grid tied solar inverters, single phase under 8kW? I'm willing to contribute financially for a neutral unbiased consult before I make a decision with a purchase For starters, Victron is out of my budget. I'm also not interested in Mecer/Axpert/Kodak. How do the following brands, Goodwe, Fronius, SMA, Deye/Sunsynk compare to one another on: Reliability After sales service and back-up Are there other brands to consider? I'm also after a customer reference list of installations done I'm based in JHB Initially the aim is to get around 15-20kWh/day from the panels with a 5kW inverter and to add more panels with an additional inverter at a later stage.
  16. What hardware did you install?
  17. Emmarentia. The Sun is getting up later too
  18. I have some Pleco wafers for sale R230 per 150g packet. I purchased the wrong wafers for my LCats. I'm JHB based and price excludes postage
  19. Also check if there is any stray electrical current. Best way to find out is to stand barefoot and put your hand in the water. Faulty heaters and light fittings has been some issues for me over the years Do a 50% water change
