cant remember exactly how we did it, but something like ....saved ride on bryton, uploaded it to pc, synched it to strave....

do not just pump to your weight, manufacturers have tables that tell you what pressure for what weight, rockshox and fox differ, not sure about suntour..

Ok my bad there was a similar incident at the spur series

If I am not mistaken the brake lever incident happened at the Spur high school series at Harties this weekend

I wont let my son ride to school in the morning the rush hour traffic makes it too dangerous, I drop him and his bike at school. I must say he looks very strange when he gets home , Blazer over riding kit with up to 3 bags hanging off him but the smile on his face is what counts the most.

I joined the hub when looking for a new bike, fellow club members recommended it, as of now I do not have a lot of posts because I am a little cautious that I will get flamed for some or other reason, but I sell stuff now and again. This does not make me a shady person just a cautious one.

thanks capt. my next question is if I put 27,5 wheels on my 26er(checked they fit) will I not have a 27.5 at a fraction of the price, or does the geometry differ vastly

Without being called a troll is there really a difference between a 26 and 27.5, isnt the wheel diameter almost the same with different width tyres

I heard was the timing was AFU, a chappie in my club beat Nolan Hoffman

Hi I am converting a bike to 1 x 9 but am unsure what blade to use, will a single speed blade work or do I have to use a dedicated 1 x blade like race face.

this should not even get to be a discussion the law is the law, however stupid or inconvenient, if we choose to break it then we suffer the consequences, I am pretty sure we have all crossed the line sometime for whatever reason, the fact that we are making excuses for breaking the law shows that we know we are in the wrong, now stop throwing stones in glass houses smile and say I am glad that wasn't me that got caught.

As far as I know J & J Cycles in Pretoria are the agents for Bianchi

I heard that it is a good thing to stand your MTB on the back wheel with the front wheel hooked on the wall as it lets the oil run back to the seals in the fork to lubricate them, please correct me if i am wrong as this is how all my bikes hang.

shock and horror !!! theft in holland? is the rest of the world not the place of milk and honey and only SA the hub of all crime( no pun intended)

to get back to my earlier point I am sure there are many of us out here who want to know, if 2 frames come out the same factory in taiwan or china what makes the one so much better than the other, please understand i think people selling no name bikes branded with a high end name should be hung up by the nuts, but I have been offered a frame by an importer who says there is no difference, hubbers without being condescending give me advice

I have been told that there are only 6 or 7 companies in the world that make carbon frames, cycle manufacturers design and have their frames built by these few companies, but us consumers can buy the exact same frame from those companies for a lot less and we can even have these frames painted to match the more expensive ones, is this true? I am considering bringing in a frame for a custom build, would I be making a big mistake?

I am looking for a roof rack that will fit on a Nissan livina x-gear, I know Thule makes them but at +_R 2500 they are expensive does anyone know of another make and where I could get them Thanks. Andre

Thankyou thankyou, I put a couple of layers insulation tape over the rim tape cut a hole where the valve is, fitted tyre, lubed with sunlight , went up to the garage and viola it seated perfectly first time, went home and tyre was still hard , let it down put slime and pumped with foot pump no problems.

Yes please tell me ( no sarcasm intended) cos once you remove the core the presta valve adaptor does not fit on the schrader valve

Hi please help me with my tubeless tyres, My MTB rims are converted with rim tape and valves ( not rubber rim strips like stans) and I have put on vredenstein tyres many times, they abe bitches to get on but I can inflate them with my floor pump no problem. Recently I bought schwalbe Tubeless ready tyres (nobby nic) they go on much easier but I cannot get them to inflate even with a compressor( at the nearest garage), Can anyone help with advice about soaping the tyre or a strap or any other advice about getting them to inflate. Thanks Andre

Ok it looks like it is not going to work if nobody wants to buy the blade i will be happy to swop it for any 28 tooth blade that can work

Please can someone help me, I have an XX crank on my bike with 42 - 28 Truvative blades. I recently ordered a new 28 tooth blade over the web but when it arrived it turned out to be a 26 tooth. Can I use the 26 tooth with a 42 tooth XX. Please help, If it is decided that the 26 wont work with a 42 then the 26 blade is for sale for R250.

please help I am trying to download data from my polar to PC with sonic link and having no joy, can anyone tell me what type of microphone works and where I can buy one in the Pretoria area. please help I need the Vitality points.
