  1. Do you only use the yellow rim tape? What about the rubber band over the rim tape before fitting the tyre?
  2. Hope you come right
  3. Got mine from CWC
  4. That means races (for example PPA races) is only for teams? Topic been discuss om Hub before at length.
  5. Cavendish do not work at the front, but still goes for the sprint!
  6. Could you clarify what you mean by out. - the last say 5 - 10 mm (as in the image) or - up to 90% of the full lenght
  7. the attached image is how it is supposed to be. The spring on my hub was more than 80% out of the groove and severally bent. Will post photo tonight
  8. The spring is beyond repair. i have bought the wheels in 2008. Been cycling a lot without problems. Do you say that it is the cam plate that causes the spring to go out of position?
  9. While ago the free body stopped engaging. Stripped the free body, gave it a good clean. Noticed that the engaging "spring" was partial out of the groove (see sketch). Re-inserted the spring. Cycle a couple of times without problems. Yesterday the free body start slipping again. When opening the free body, I noticed that the spring is again partially out of the groove. This seems to be the cause of the slipping of the free body. This time there is damage to the spring (bent). Question is why does the spring not stay in position (groove) Photo is with spring in correct position AC_freehub.bmp

  15. My brother-in-law was having a braai at my place on Sunday. They have a son (7 years). He was playing with some toys and trying to order us around to do stuff for him. I told him (as in a joke) that it is not on, and I will put my foot down. As I put my foot down to illustrate the point, I tramp full into a fresh dog turd. The best is still to follow, I was barefeet. I can still hear the family laughing.
  16. What about Fish Hoek!!!
  17. Thanks
  18. Thanks What is the distance of the long route? How long did it take you?
  19. I will be in Swellendam on the weekend of the DC (not taking part). I would like to do 2-4 hours MTB ride. Do anybody know of any nice routes in this area.
  20. When is the next one in Cape Town. I am tired of the bad service of the local LBS, time to do it myself
  21. How do I get a 29"............ by folding it double
  22. Hijack on Question for Johan (Rockshox Reba race 2008) When my MTB is lying on it's side I have noticed oil leking from the motion control damper (leaking seal) I have heard that the agents will not supply the seal, but only the full unit (costly). I thought that it was only an o-ring that needs to be replaced. Supsequent I heard that it is not an o-ring but a "tappered seal" specific to Rockshox Is this correct? Hijack off
  23. I agree, would also like some feedback on Blackspade wheels
  24. Price range?
