Mine was used while splitted for 3-4 dry rides. No problems...
If really urgent: I used a thicker one from the coop temporary. It fid not go in, but cut the outer slice of by sliding a boxcutter around the aluminum
I asked stans. It is 2mm*25mm and got today from Bearing Man. Stil a bit loose so I bought 24*2.5 as well to play with. Pity you are in Gauteng. I got loads spare now...
O yes - and i love the missus even more 
Starting tonight at the cocktail function 
Sunday I will be the bike with one black and one white rim. Any comments about red cars with a replacement green door is not welcome 
I will stick to the out of stock story...
There are many people who know a lot about bicycles and they don't add "mysticism" to it.
I think South Africans are easily impressed with big words and huge explanations around something very simple.
I agree on the mysticism, big words etc - but its easy to filter such white noise out without getting agitated. Only keep what is useful to you.
Hugh explanations has its place though .... Momentum, like chains is also simple and all that you need to know to survive is that trains is not afraid of cars and cars is not afraid of bicycles. - still there is loads of info/maths available on it that is interesting for some people to read/understand, (Even though it change nothing on how they use it in everyday life. It is also fair game to poke fun with them.)
Yes and no. The Momsen was only one of many examples. "Opinions" stated as "facts" here would make me doubt the credibility of the author and, thus, the validity of a tome about a subject he may not be qualified to speak about.
So it's your opinion that JB is not qualified to speak about something as simple as a chain 
Wyatt, I hope you don't mind me using this as an example...straatvark, Wyatt and I have butted heads many times on this forum on many issues - as I have with JB too. But, I have never had any reason to doubt his technical nous when it comes to bikes. Basically, the dude knows his stuff. He doesn't strut it, doesn't posit himself as a self-proclaimed guru. Just lets his work and rep do the talking. Sometimes Wyatt and I get on, sometimes we don't. But I would never hesitate to recommend him should someone ask for a bike shop in his area.
Couldn't said it better myself
I get that. We've all posted something online that's wrong. Humility is the ability and grace to acknowledge it, and engage further to learn something. When someone - a lecturer, a boss, an editor, a mechanic, etc - shows a complete inability to do this, I am unlikely to endorse their views on much. Fact is, much as it's important to play the ball not the man, that Johan dismissed most dissenting views on this forum by doing just that: playing the man with snide remarks, condescending put-downs and dismissive posts. Would I buy the book, read it, and possibly give it the benefit of the doubt? No.
And you are 100% right on the evaluation of JB's online personality. (I only found the Morewood/Momsen foot in mouth comment(s) from him when searching him before posting the book - found it rude & the 'sorry' a bit...short.)
But if you not intending to read any book of JB, don't like snide remarks & like engaging to learn more - then surely there is not a lot happening for you in this thread?
Finding time to read that would be a bit of a stretch.
I somehow missed the positive...what is it exactly?
a) That comeback for example was moer funny without getting the author involved. (It made me chuckle anyway...)
b) SwissVan reasoning.
Look,JB's online personality pissed me off sometimes and contribute very valuable advice (to me) other times. I spend 2 days with him 6 years ago and his offline personalty was great. I will repeat the experience any day.
But for discussion the book - is not important if you like or dislike the author's personality.
Play the ball and not the man.
... but if you can convince yourself that you're the only one who knows anything a little knowledge goes very far.
We are discussing the author and Lipstiek Dipstiek, topics we are qualified to discuss. If you have the time to read the book please post a summary here.
A very light-hearted: 'Indeed' 
Please close the fecking thread though, the negative overshadow the positive here
Anyone keen to take a spin around Dublin tonight?
We can go past the Blue Light & Johnny Fox - last guy buy the pints...
Nice, thanks.Coastal Seals in Maitland. 113 Voortrekker rd, in the same complex as Mr Bolt & Nut. If you're further North try BMG in Stikland.
Whoa, NoTube's web support form have a quick reaction.... impressed.
Apparently it is 2mm*25mm. They sell it for $0.6.
Will see if I am can source that size somewhere close in CT.
ps - it is just me that find the front wheel trough-axel a pain in the butt. My 'best fit' transport for my bike is vertical with the front wheel out. Its almost as if I need a third hand to open the fork slightly to get the wheel in - which I don't have and the cause for the O-ring damage.
Does someone know what is the O-ring size that go onto the 15mm Conv for ZTR/3.30/3.30Ti Front Hub? As shown here: http://www.notubes.com/15mm-Conv-for-ZTR330330Ti-Front-Hub-P217.aspx.
I damaged mine when taking the wheel in and out, and need to replace it. Got a couple of sizes from a car/hydraulics spares shop in Outhshoorn the other day, but all seems to 'thick'.
I did contact them per email as well, but might get a quicker response here.
thanks! g
Had a very hot ride today. Spotted my first Rooikat. Impressive. ..
SendThat looks pretty damn close...might just work!
Thanks for the offer! Happy to pay postage on that ...a road trip to CT would be even nicer but doubt the boss would approve it lol!
PM me your bank details and postage cost please
Sorry about text links below - format options gone....the hub technical issues continues...
My wife made the frame a ornament in a tree, hence the weird stretch & background 
Look somewhat similar, yours for free if you would like to try it out. Collect or transport cost is yours.
Anyone have a 2008 GT Zaskar Pro ? I need to find a derailiuer hanger for this frame and cant seem to find the spec anywhere
Frame is the same as in the pic
my 2005 frame cracked and I have about 3 spare. Yours if they are the same - unlikely but can try. Will take picture tomorrow if you want?Emailed them 2 months ago...still no reply
This still happen to me from time to time.
HTTP 502 error on all 'media.thehubsa' requests in Fiddler. So no images or CSS...
Will come and go, once happening it might be like that for 20 minutes to an hour. The resolve itself.
