SURFER

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?

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

My American classic hub did the same. Only needed a cleaning. Not difficult

Go American Classic

Why not service yourself?

Spend the money and buy new chain

sand at koeberg???

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.

What about Fish Hoek!!!

Thanks

Thanks What is the distance of the long route? How long did it take you?

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.

When is the next one in Cape Town. I am tired of the bad service of the local LBS, time to do it myself

How do I get a 29"............ by folding it double

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

I agree, would also like some feedback on Blackspade wheels

Price range?

My son is looking for wheels. He is into racing. His weight is +70kg (not sure). He is starting to nag me about getting deep sections. He say he will pay money back ??? He saw the Blackspade wheels, price not to bad compared to some other brands. I am doing some research before buying, would like to buy the right wheels

Agree with you. 50mm in front and 60mm at back

Want to get set of deep section wheels. What is the best option for front and back? Front 60mm and back 80mm? Also do I go for clinchers or tubbies?

I got XT pedals and they are awsome. When I told my son how easy the XT pedals unclip, his comment was "why do you want to unclipped"

I ride with them and I am no racer, more like a diesel machine, same pace hour after hour. Use them to get lift into town (nice when SE is blowing)and then do my own thing if I cannot hang on. Meet for coffee and get lift back. I see you mentioned gals, we could use more of them.

Cycles Direct rides on weekends (MTB and/or road). They meet at the robot on the R27 between the shopping centres. Normally thet do MTB into to Table Mountain and/or road to Suikerbossie or Chapmans. Stop for coffee at M&B in waterfront on the way back. Give them a call at 021 554 2128. Ask for Gary or Michael

Agree with tight muscles. Same thing happened with me, trained very hard for K2C, with all the cycling and no cross training the muscles in your legs gets to tight. need to go for sport massage once/twice a month.

Why 27/28. Go for 23 or 25
