  1. Has any cyclists or (dare I say it) triathletes tried the Airofit or similar respiratory trainer? Probably not for everyone, but perhaps useful for someone who does have some sort of issues with dyspnea. To extend that- has anyone bought one and now no longer uses it? It seems like something that you get for Christmas, use twice and then leave in a random drawer. I'm hoping to buy one of from someone like this- then use also use it twice. Thank you!
  2. I'm buying a bike and trainer from a cyclist in Hartswater, Norther Cape. Having a bit of a hard time verifying that he is indeed a legitimate seller. Thought I'd try my luck here and see if anyone knows a Donald Edward Smith from Hartswater? Long shot, but hey, I've been surprised by the detective skills from this community before. Thanks guys
  3. This is entering the zone of aero-weenie territory, but quite often skinsuits/trisuits don't fit perfectly for tall, skinny athletes. The small ones are too short and the big ones are too baggy. I'm sure many can relate. The question then is if anyone has done or knows of a service in SA to tailor a suit to adjust the fit to the rider? The latest suits have fancy materials and flatlock seams, so probably not a job for the local Edward scissor hands.
  4. In Joburg indeed. I will make the trip to JKM and see what can be done. Thank you!
  5. Will give them a shout and see. Seems like such a pesky little detail to add to a frame design.
  6. I have a Swift Evil Twin full-sus mountain bike frame which I'm trying to build up. It has some clever little threaded inserts for the rear post mount disc brake caliper that are removable and replaceable should you strip them. Now, the frame I bought second hand didn't come with these, so I'm trying to source some. Is this a common thing in MTB's, or likely a proprietary Swift thing for this frame?
  7. Couldn’t agree with you more. All this proprietary crap is really ruining the fun for me
  8. Interesting. I see what you mean. I unfortunately don't have an old Praxis BB, but that sounds like a great solution
  9. No, not standard 30. Praxis uses a stepped BB. 30 drive side and 28 non drive
  10. I've been phoning around like a mad man trying to find a Praxis BB for a standard PF86 frame in Joburg. Does anyone perhaps know of a shop which stocks Praxis stuff? The interwebs has failed me dearly.
  11. Thanks. I tried a 1.75, and it does thread all the way in, but almost feels a bit loose. Not sure if there’s just some wear, or if it’s the wrong size. Do you perhaps know if a 1.5 and 1.75 would at all thread in, or would it completely not work? Sounds silly, but I can’t confirm just with the eye. Too close together.
  12. Unfortunately they haven’t had Swift for years. Quite frustrating that there’s simply zero tech specs online
  13. I’ve bought a Swift Evil Twin frame but am unsure about the specifics of the thruaxle requirements. It’s a 12x142, but specifically thread pitch is a bit of a, well *pitch* to figure out. P1.5 and P1.75 is pretty damn close, so can’t really measure anything meaningful on the frame itself. Does anyone maybe have one or can share some insights please?
  14. Didn't consider the foot on the back wheel technique. Absolutely doing that now 🤣
  15. Will have to see if I can locate an LBS with stock already. Thanks for the help!
