  7. Get yourself some Shimano Ultrega wheels, awesome quality and light enough, RS500 Evo bikes had them on sale a few weeks ago. https://www.evobikes.co.za/wheels/shimano-ultegra-wh-rs500-tubeless-wheelset.html Pretty sure black friday will offer some great deals.
  8. Short of it is, take a look at the video and let me know any suggestions ? The long version Last week I was decided to service my bike, but this time I was going to do the rear bearings because they sounded a bit rough. at this stage this is all that was wrong with the bike. Shimano Ultegra rear wheel https://si.shimano.com/#/en/EV/WH-6700-R Upon having it all apart I saw that the driver side cone was pitted, photo below, No idea where to buy one of those and not having the correct spanner to take off the driver side, I decided maybe this is a job for the pros. Put it all back together new grease ect, took for a ride all good, besides for a rough bearing which I was now hyper aware of. Couple days later I took my bike into the shop, explained the issue show the mechanic the photos, he said it will have to be ordered from Shimano, and booked in for major service, so all bearings get checked. a day later they call, need new bottom bracket and headset bearings, rear wheel is sorted he used a part he had in the shop no charge. now that its back, there is a scary wobble in the rear hub, the shop says hub is damaged, and I wont be able to get those hubs anymore but it wont affect shifting performance and all the bearings have been replaced. After seeing it I took the cassette off, and it looks as if the freewheel body is on the wheel at an angle, or is not in place.. can this be should i take it apart again,, or just leave the wobble.. Any suggestions
  9. Incase anyone needs, the route link that was shared previously only works on the app, here is a web version https://www.strava.com/routes/21090782 Here is the original. https://strava.app.link/lLFs4B0qp0
  10. Nope both offers sealed bearings Shimano XT Pulley Wheels RD-M8000 Precision sealed bearings in both guide and tension pulleys keep drivetrain smooth and friction-free. and that's the cheaper of the two...
  11. Simple question really, is it worth spending extra on more expensive jockey wheels ? is there any difference? Shimano XT Pulley Wheels RD-M8000 vs Shimano RD-M9000/9050 pulleys.R450 vs R165 Quite a price difference, what is it that you pay the extra for? I can't seem to find any info or specs on the jockey wheels.
  12. I agree weight is not the primary gain, I have been on the tubeless road for almost 4 years now, Riding the Schwalbe Pro One 25c comes in at 280g and I only add in 30ml of sealant. I do however clean and replace the sealant every 2 to 3 months. extra maintenance but I get to ride at 5 to 6 bar, and only ever had two cuts that didn't seal. Instead of carrying a spare tube I carry an extra 60ml bottle of sealent and 2 bombs. https://www.schwalbe.com/en/road-reader/schwalbe-pro-one.html The only complaint I have is the price, so keen on trying those Giant tires soon. but also these contis might keep the legendary longevity, which will be a good bonus.
  13. Apologies, yes you are correct, its the Fusion 3 that lasted well.
  14. Hi, I think you are all sorted with tubeless, just thought I would drop a note. I have been on tubeless road for 4 years, been through most of the brands of tyres and sealants. Tyre wise Hutchinson fusion 4 lasts the longest, specialized is the most comfortable grippy, but schwalbe pro one is by far the best tire all round. Sealants. Stans really good keeps the tyres nice and balanced. Schwalbe focused blue is stans with other packaging, Sans race sealent is awesome but needs to be cleaned out every 2 months. Bontrager tlr sealent gets my vote as all round best. Seals better than stans at high pressure and lasts longer. Word of note: as soon as the sealant gets hard and old.. you have to clean it out. And it's a mission to get off the inside of the tyres. The hard sealant messes with the balance of the road tyres at high speeds. Solution is to ride allot so you wear out the tyre before the sealent drys. For cuts I use eaither tyre boots from sportsmen's warehouse. Or really well stuck on tube patches. Never had luck with the worms. All the best
