  1. Stolen: Cannondale Caad9 2010 Where: Mowbray, Cape Town, Western CapeCustom paint Sram 1x setup with Absolute Black Bontrager wheelset Wahoo elementGet further details about the incident in the Stolen Bikes section.
  2. I would second this. I did a frame with Canned 2k paints from an auto body shop. For the base coat i just used rustoleum primer and paints - with the 2k stuff just as 3-4 layers of clear coat. (has to be used within 24 hours of mixing) ...worked very well! Little tip - Letting the can sit in some warm water for a few minutes really gets the viscosity perfect to prevent bigger droplet splattering for a nice fine spray.
  3. Ive done a 1x sram setup for my road bike. 50 tooth up front, 11speed Sram 1x rear deraileur with clutch and a 11-36 cassette works wonders. Sram cassettes also have a good distribution of gears, shimano cassette jumps between gears feel somewhat uncomfortable. Works great, havent missed the front derailleur ... Especially while watching others struggle with front shifts????
  4. Wasn't thinking, sorry...Instagram has some videos and some more posts to look at: https://www.instagram.com/swaycycling/
  5. Hey Madmarc, I designed and developed the SwayRocker system. I am in the process of developing an upgrade for this. its a bit challenging, but hopefully I can have a solution soon - so ill keep you updated on this...seems a few peope are keen to see something similar. Our system uses any standard old dumbell weight, which mounts inside of a routered 'pocket' under the deck to make sure the top is clean and not cluttered. There is space for 2 weights, so you can mount up to 5kg (2x 2.5kg) in order to balance things out. They are also adjustable, so you can really fine tune this to suit your specific trainer setup and balance point.
  6. Same for me. Have you gone to fetch your order? was under the impression that they arent doing collections during level 4?
  7. I normally do either rinse, or wash it with some light soap. Might give them a shout and see what they say. Thanks!
  8. Hi Guys, Has anyone else encountered rusting on the Tickr belt clips? I took mine off yesterday, and noticed that one of the 'button clips' have rusted and broken completely off. The strap is just shy of a year old now, so i expect normal wear and tear, but a complete failure seems odd?
  9. :clap: Awesome Job! Well done! Badge is
  10. CAAD 9 Pending.........
  11. Thought id share some Aluminati love. My CAAD4. 1x Build
  12. New Scammer Alert. Same old "want to buy as a present for a cousin, but i am offshore on an oilrig" Shpeel. Edward Johnson - email: diamondlite2010@gmail.com Anybody know how to spam a scammer?
  13. Anybody have a small SCOTT Decal lying about/know where i could get one? +-3cm or so 'tall' . I am respraying an old scott frame, and would like to preserve a small portion of the existing paintwork, and integrate the logo while at it.
  14. they should close up their website too. online store still looks like an active site
  15. Any new news on this? Website is still running, but no response on any calls or emails?
  16. isnt that the old paris?
  17. deraileur is needed aswell i think...the pull ratio and stuff changes in my understanding so wouldnt work with a 9 spd der... not sure though
  18. only if the design isnt corny and cliche...needs to be something catchy or clever/intresting ...
  19. we tried it on an xc bike last year sometime at my LBS, and it screws up the handling, because the contact point on the ground is wrong. theres like a sweet spot where you get the right type of rotation, which the bigger wheel negates. hard to explain though. looks like a DH bike, all big infront and all
  20. took mine out today lunchtime at groenies!! awsome stuff...just somehow managed to kiss the single track coming off around a fast corner haha...good times...hope you get your bike soon man
  21. i made my own mount that goes from the lower part of the fork over the disk and lets you mount your sensor there > will post a pic later, but alot like the adapter in that link... works a charm
  22. damn what a vid...love the editing!! keep it up, brilliant stuff
  23. well i bought mine without even a test ride...had to get it on backorder and waited almost a month and a half to get it. but was well worth it, and definately feels better than the specialise comp 29er i testrode. and it looks awesome haha...get everyone looking at you whereever you go!!
  24. lefty is like the shizz!!! weight just under 11 kgs, with tubeless conv... do have elix cr brakes on though so slightly lighter there.
  25. driver did nothing wrong there...cant expect them to see evry little move you make and move over whenever we expect them to.
