As to why...cost of cassette and chain is a bit high but I can't argue the mileage I've done. Had lots of issues with BB bearings not lasting until I stopped using the wavy washer which I believe is only for press fit BB's...(the threaded BB has the plastic insert on the DS). I would likely go with XT. I've also twice had my Sram Level TLM brakes replaced under warranty but those seem good now. Maybe not as sharp as Shimano but they will do.. A switch is just something I'm considering for now.

Thanks x 2. I'll chat to Cape Cycles re the freehub...

As the day draws nearer when I have to replace my Eagle GX cassette I'm considering converting to Shimano 1 x 12. 3 questions: 1. Yes/No 2. What needs to be replaced and with what? 3. What will approximate cost be? Current: Eagle GX Cassette & XX1 Chain Eagle GX Cranks & Spindle Sram GXP Threaded BB Novatec wheel with XD Driver Thanks in advance

Cool idea. I'm in JHB but see someone's doing in here too...But followed the link and its no longer there....

Couldn't agree more with a previous poster that you really get to see how scheit cyclists are when you're in a car for a change. For that reason I won't drive the Avianto road on a weekend as you get sworn at by riders taking up half the lane with no cycle lane. In the rest of the Cradle too many cyclists ride 4 abreast as if the cycle lane extends to half way across the car lane. Its also getting dangerous to pass some slow (possibly newbies) who ride into the car lane and pay no attention to whats coming from behind. When I drive into the Cradle and come up behind a Cyclelab bunch I cringe because I know its going to be tough to pass and they just don't give a **** about sharing the space. EVERY cyclist should have to drive a couple of laps in their car on a weekend to see what cyclists are getting up to. Why is it that when we get out of our cars and onto a bike we forget how to behave and become so entitled?

Or as a asserted lockring tool which I need to go and buy.... ????

I've long wished that instead of medals organizers donate to value to get kids cycling or some form of excercise and nutrition etc....I have so many medals accumulated over the last 22 years it's nuts...

Now that's a fine idea

Didn't want to raise that....yeah, hectic.. sounded very Columbian....

Last year was a Spanish lady who didn't bother to learn the names and in the interview introduced..."Now we go to the red rider... " ????

Last year Neil did it for me spending half the day complimenting Avancini and Fumic's decision to ride with a hydration pack as though it was the first time any rider had done this and ignoring the weight penalty. Neil just lowers the IQ and speaks to a complete novice rider level....I enjoy Annika and also enjoyed Robbie McEwan last year...I find Gerald overdoes the adjectives a bit and falls into the SA commentators often overdone strategy of complimenting everybody involved too often....yes. compliment the trail builders at the beginning of the session maybe and then comnentate the race objectively. The SA commentators are often just too "nice". Pity we couldn't get the same team ax the MTB WC...but that comes at a significant cost. Like SKY F1....past drivers give an honest rendition thus I would have preferred a more charismatic anchor with just Annika and or another rider.

Is it just me that finds Neil Gardiner's commentary irritating as hell? And oh yes it's Friday...

Sad sad sad Raasbekkie! You ARE the greatest MC I've ever had the pleasure to experience at a cycle race. Miss you already! There is an almighty opskop and jol in heaven right now.....I know you won't RIP....Gooi... ????

Hey awesome. I'll dm you - please reply with your contact no?

Sorry my **** spelling...Ultegra...

My Shimano Ultegra 10 sp 6700 brake hoods are getting a bit tired. Can I still buy or will it be s mission?

I have another rule pertaining to a bike or if the item is pricey...if anyone offers me payment upfront without viewing I treat it as a scam....

Thanks. I'll give the donor one z miss. Not worth it. ????

Rplying to my own thread.........After some research I see the various damper bodies are different part numbers......

Hi just a few q's re a Rockshox Monarch RL and parts interchangability. Can you use the damper body from say a 184 x 44 for a 165 x 38 shock? Is it merely a case of correctlysetting the IFP depth or are they different? Are any other internals interchangeable? The reason I'm asking is that I have an older RL (silver damper body) that I think is either 184 x 44 or similar as a "donor" and have a 165 x 38 (black damper body) that has a tiny nick 3/4 down the damper body and I was considering swapping it out?

They did a full service. They have nitrogen cylinders so my guess is they would have used nitro....

Thanks all, used some Squirt...smoother than I can remember..........

Noticed that my Monarch RL has a bit of play and a slight knocking noise about 1/4 into compression and when releasing the weight. Was serviced recently by Linden Cycles who appear to do many and their service is usually v good. Noticed slight hissing sound when I got it back and that was explained as extra grease in (I think the damper but can't recall exactly). It does it when locked out also ie locks but has about 3-5mm travel. Its now developed this issue and while it was almost a year ago I haven't done huge mileage as I've been riding my roadbike most of the time.

Not asking about your hair! ????

Easy to just phone them.....and if not sure look at a couple of possible sizes.
