  2. I am looking to replace my old Edge 1000 with the new Edge 1040 Solar. The battery is not lasting. The price from Polar Rosebank is quite Harsh!! Anyone know where I can source one from cheaper?? Lord gun in the UK with VAT is about R5000.00 cheaper. Have not added import duty.
  3. Dexter, I was about to post the same thing. Toilet doors wired closed; other full to overflowing with no water anywhere.
  4. Go look at the topic on SRAM/ CRC and you will see how to get arround the block... hint... wish list.

  8. Hi FDP, Some advice please! Having downloaded the zip file when I try to open it I get "The Disc Immage File Is Corrupted" What am I doing wrong? or how do I correct this?
  9. I had my Edge 1000 replaced by Garmin after destroying my original unit. The new unit has a memory card for maps. All I am constantly being told by Garmin Express is to download routable maps of Europe! Has anyone downloaded Tracks for Africa onto their Garmin edge units before? Would be great for the bush rides we do.
  10. LordGun out of Italy has very sharp SRAM pricing and their service is quick.

  15. Hi by chance has anyone got a 10 speed free hub for an Easton EA90XC?? Fingers crossed Alastair
  16. I weigh 72kgs and run Rocket Rons on wide lightning at the front at about 1,6 bar. No burping or washout. Must say the combination has totally changed my attitude to sand ... what sand!!
  17. I have had my Chris King bb serviced by my local Bike Shop: and they have managed to remove and re- install the bearings skew??? why they removed them I am not sure - I have the C King greasing kit and used it regularly - but they are now have to be replaced. Who can I buy a new set of 73mm threaded Chris King BB's from? C King offer links to a number of shops is the USA but would appreciate some direction. Looking for sharp price and reliability.
  18. When I build my bike I went for a Thompsons Elite Set Back seat post. This gave me an ideal position and weight distribution on my Santa Cruz. I am now keen to get a dropper seat post, but do not want to move my position forward. Do you get a set back dropper post? I'm thinking probably not as it would limit the amount of tube that could drop.
  19. Just saying.... 70% of brake force should be on FRONT. Learn to modulate the front brake using one or maybe 2 fingres.
  20. With all the training you wife has done can she not find a partner to do it with her??
  21. You need to ride more.... thoes tires still look brand new!!!!
