  1. Thanks Delgado, I am in Joburg (North). What are the chances of putting something else on there or should I just change the hub?
  2. Thanx Boet! Dunno what the hub is - will look tonight and send a pic email tomorrow if you don't mind? If there is no 8 spd, is my only solution a new back hub? this blerry thing is 13 tooth and I cant get a decent workout. I have put elastic bands on the brakes for some more resistance:D
  3. Can do. Will photoshoot tonite and post. Thanks. It seems to have an internal splin - ey type thing, much like the shimano locknut but my shimano tool doesn't fit.
  4. How do I take the cluster off of an old Alpina 6 Spd. I think it is Campag but I am clueless? Want to put an 8 spd Sora on for my IDT
  5. The little green pill - take one!

    Sollys rocks!
  7. Helmets are like bikinis - the less material, the more expensive
  8. Roag is free - you then only pay 75 once of for provincial affiliation.

  10. Scale is cool! If you are in Joeys and want one, you can collect one from me? I have only one ruler spare.
  11. chainmeter.pdf Does but better to work per link. Try this thing, Cut out and stick to a ruler or something. Have a looksee at the little sketch on the ruler and use the 06 BS measurement. I will try it to see if the hub has changed the scale at all but must post it first.
  12. 12 links cant possibly = 12 inches - that gives a 1" pitch chain!. Bike Chain is 3/8" or 9.525 mm pitch. The longer the length of the piece that you measure, the more accurate your result will be. Count the rivets, not only the outside plates and multiply by 9.525. this should give you the length of the piece that you have chosen. Now multiply again by 2% and add that figure. If your chain is as long as, or longer than this, it is elongated beyond it's recommended limits.
  13. Like tar?
  14. polar f6 complete 500 bucks??
  15. :D:D
  16. Train like you got one - and then wait for two weeks before the start. You'll find one or two entries right here! History
  17. sounds brilliant!
  18. FFS, can't get my live feed from Supersport for some unknown reason. Anybody from SS around?

  20. @steve meltzer - appears your reply didn't update! Please requote as I am sure you have something valuable to add to this!
  21. Seriaas, look at Sportsmans warehouse for Avalanche cosmic 24" . My youngster has had his for 3 or so years now and he is one of the bulletproof, ramp, drop off crash type. His bike is a bit scratched but still works perfectly. IMHO best value for money kiddies bike out there. Also bought my 6 yr old an avalanche max 20" based on my satisfaction with the cosmic
  22. Johan, wouldn't you agree with me that the jockey wheels are nothing more than tensioner elements and, as such, should function just as well without any teeth.I accept that they also act as a guide for the chain whilst changing but, this should be able to be a function of a smooth idler?
  23. Netstar offer a GPS unit called Guardian. It is small, has a SOS function and is user traceable via their website. A cool little unit that you can use to track a bike ride as well with an overlay on Google Earth.
