  1. This is what I use in my shop:- http://www.torquetool.co.za/product/professional-torque-wrench-automotive-ratchet-models
  2. Max torque on most bikes = 40nm (cassette, centerlock rotor, BB cups) Recommend reversible rachet for BB cup and pedal
  3. Same here. Also made it VERY clear that WE are under no obligation to sell at listed prices. Must say that was before the tough times
  4. We will be camping at Hlalanathi . . . . and really looking forward
  5. Any one recently done the trails round Hlalanathi, The Cavern, Mont Aux Sources. What's it like?
  6. When buying a torque wrench make sure that it can torque in both directions (clock/anti-clock). You need this when tightening BB's and pedals
  7. List which I use daily when servicing bikes. Torque Settings.pdf
  8. Watch out for this. Result of the little bearings taking rondom paths inside the body. Major forces at play!!
  9. Hot bath in 80% paraffin wax & 20% bees wax. Best lubricated and cleanest chain in town.
  10. This works for me
  11. EV-HB-M667-2821B_v1_m56577569830677323.pdf
  12. Synthetic motor oil (5w40)?
  13. Bearing removal not recommended.
  14. Few things which will fix the pig: True rotors Deglaze rotors and pads Clean with isopropyl alcohol Ensure calipers fitted to "clean" frame (no paint in between) Apply thin (very thin) layer of copper grease between pad and plunger Do the bedding (run-in) procedure If still screaming, strip service calipers and bleed system
  15. I put it to you "Thou shalt not take a hammer to your beloved" and we all say "Yes malydi"
  16. ISO ref sizing O-Rings Sizes ISO No.pdf

  18. These days, unfortunately, are long gone.

  20. GEAX Saguaro - rear 6300km, front 7400km
  21. Once buckled 10mm+ always a slight wobble
  22. Latex-based vs ammonia (Stan's). Read the Maxxis instructions, latter should not be used
  23. Nice link. This has really changed my mind/trust in Shimano.
  24. Any idea who the Shimano distributors are?
  25. Lock ring torque to spec 35 - 40Nm
