  1. You'll have to send it away, either via your LBS or direct. We can do them, RBC can do them, and Spez in Stellenbosch will get it if you send it in via a Spez dealer. There may be others, but whoever it is will need a vacuum bleeder and a few special tools, so your average workshop will come up short. As mentioned, if you've worn anything out and it's older than about 5 or 6 years you may battle to find spares, but seal kits are readily available.
  2. As @thebob said, a new air spring will do the job at a fraction of the price. I have the thing you need, PM me if you're interested.
  3. I was there about a month ago, one or two sloppy corners on the red route but otherwise in pretty good shape.
  4. The speed trap on Kloof Nek should get a few pictures a week. Not easy to set the camera off on a bike though, and I've never heard of anyone actually getting their photo in the mail.
  5. Most Li-Ion packs are 18650 cells, so any decent battery repacker should be able to do this for you. That said, it'll be difficult to confirm without opening one up.
  6. Looks like a Session.
  7. Thanks @dasilvarsa. @Nic Brigando on a build like that I'd definitely recommend a new steerer tube, we can fit one for you.
  8. MTB pedals encounter rocks at pace pretty often. Definitely wouldn't consider putting a 20k pair on my bike.
  9. Get Stoked have some pretty decent specials on RideConcepts shoes if there's something in your size. Otherwise Ryder have a pretty decent pair available. Proper flat pedal shoes have stiffer soles, better grip and a reinforced toe box for when you inevitably kick a rock. Well worth the investment (and they are an investment) compared to skate shoes or cross trainers.
  10. Unfortunate, know of someone looking for a medium.
  11. Mail Garmin SA, they'll know if anyone has. I haven't had the best results with them actually replying to queries, but YMMV.
  12. Ridiculous, but still...
  13. I can, thanks. Both with supply and install. The V2 can be had with a threadless carrier as well, although you do lose out on some of the functionality and the storage capabilities. OP - shout if you'd like to know more or order something.
  14. But it's SCIENCE! You even get faired ones now, so you don't sacrifice aero for chainbendyness gains.
  15. 👆
  16. @MarcHD could probably point you in the right direction.
  17. Yep, it's an air spring swap. Got some very well priced DVO forks in stock as well if you're looking. 120 - 140mm, 34mm stanchion.
  18. If you can, go to a place that stocks your brand. It'll be much easier for them to give you a quote.
  19. Trust the YouTube mechanic at your peril.

    Possible scam

    Bikehub Pay. The end. If the buyer doesn't agree, no deal.
  21. Line the back of your bars up with the front of the crown, making sure the stem lines up with the tyre. Easiest way I've found, and I've done a few...
  22. Magura levers are fine if you don't overtorque the clamp bolts, bleed them every 6 months, and don't crash. Most issues with them are caused by #1 - more than 2 Nm and you'll crack the piston cap.
  23. Wheels off Hex key in the bolt about 45 degrees clockwise from the crank Crank on floor (rubber matting or similar between crank and concrete) Stand on hex key Remove crank
