  1. For those who are looking for new pedals, they are having a sale on a lot of brands and models at the moment. http://www.cwcycles.co.za/ PS. I'm not a CWC salesman, just saw it and thought I'd pass on the message
  2. That could also work because then you can use whatever grip you want. Thanks for the info, will go check with my LBS.
  3. Ok cool, I'll see if I can get a set of those bad boys! Thanks for the help.
  4. Do you think the Twinloc bracket would then fit onto the grip in place of the grips actual locking ring?
  5. What year model is your Spark? I tried mounting the Twinloc to the handlebar but the diameter of the bracket is to big.
  6. Hi everyone, Can someone please suggest the best replacement grips for a 2015 Scott Spark? I'm not sure which replacement grip would work the best because of the "TwinLoc" which doubles up as the inside end lock ring for the grip. Hope that makes sense. Cheers, Lance
  7. Just saw this on News24, don't have any more information, seems to be a commuter. http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Cyclist-killed-outside-Pretoria-20150817 RIP
  8. Thanks, didn't know I could do that. Will do so now.
  9. I've also just had an experience with a guy that said he wanted to look at my wheelset that I'm trying to sell. We met and he looked at them, he made up his mind on the spot and said he'll take them. I had to meet him later because he wanted to get cash first from the ATM, no problem. Later came and before I could leave home he phoned me and came up with some BS about his card only being able to withdraw R2000, even when the wheels are for sale for R2000. Ok, maybe he needs bus fare or something... All good. The next day he made up some excuse not to meet, and the next day I had to contact him to find out where/when we would meet. Then he tells me that he got another wheel, very sorry. Three days later he backs out of the deal. It's only R2k, but its the principal of the matter. I gave hime a negative comment and he came back with a negative comment on me. So now it shows on my score, even though he backed out on the deal. What now, is it worth making a comment after all when it reflects bad on you in the end even if it's not your wrong doing?
  10. Can you play music from your phone via bluetooth and also at the same time use the bluetooth for your Garmin/Strava device, i.e. Edge 810?
  11. Thanks. No multi plug just yet, I have a solid metal work bench where I do all my cutting and drilling, the multi plug is on that. The vise grip for those pesky pedals is on the other bench too :-)
  12. Thanks for the advise, the one hanging is an old a one that I just didn't want to throw away because it still works ok. The new one is stored in the blue box on the top shelf with plunger removed and in a zip lock bag
  13. Ok, I didn't buy this but I did buy the aluminium, wood and wheels to build it. Now I can work a lot easier in the garage on my bike!
  14. That's what I like about the look of it, it's got a nice clean look when in watch mode, especially the sapphire with the metal strap. Will go check it out at Sportsmans later. Would you mind measuring the face please? I cant get dimensions for it. Last question, what does the performer bundle come with? Do you have to buy the heart rate strap and speed/cadence sensors separately?
  15. Is it quite a big watch? Would it be ok as an all day, every day watch?
  16. Just manage to find the time to fit my new brake hoses and gear cables. It was quite easy as everything is very well made. Nice thing is that I could measure everything and make it nice and tidy.
  17. Thanks for the explanation, I'm a lot closer to buying a set now, just waiting for EVO to get new stock in. Cheers!
  18. Does the wider foot print of the tyre on the ground not add more rolling resistance?
  19. Arrived this morning, and just finished a friendly 30km ride with them. Loving the carbon soles, and they sit so nice and snug. Just need to wear in now around my ankles and I'm sure I'll have many an enjoyable mile in them :-) Edit : Thanks a lot for the great deal on these CWC. Great service as always!
  20. Will do, just haven't had the time to do it yet. The gear cables should be strait forward, just hope the hoses come with all the right fittings...
  21. One question, will the new crank fit in a BB which currently is on my bike? I have the current model of XT Crank on my bike.
  22. When will the first batch come into the country? And what will the approximate price be for the components?
