  1. What is consensus on spoke count for gravel rims ? I see off the shelf options starting with 24.
  2. Yes it took over 7 months as there was no stock of their 9000 frameset's globally. Basically had to wait for factory to produce. I used my existing frame as it was still ride-able. The crack on the frame was not catastrophic so fortunately it could still be used, there was an option to have it repaired but I did not go down this road.
  3. Just received my warranty replacement Reacto 9000 frame. Its the 2022 Team Edition. Will post one or two pics soon. Really nice frame
  4. Only gripe against Nextie Rollingstar hubs is that they don't support Microspline !
  5. I have used The Courier Guy quite extensively without problems.
  6. Somewhat, but more on the social side as not many races or events happen down here .
  7. Not sure about single speed riders, however there are a few mtb and road groups also some track cycling that happens now and again.
  8. I see that I have been refunded for the balance of my yearly GCN+ subscription.
  9. Yes from the picture it looks as if a extra 20mm would solve the problem. Alternatively you can try souce the mount.
  10. Did you consider using a bigger rotor , is that a 160mm ?
  11. Try the number for their advert https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/power-meters/7641/4iiii-Shimano-Powermeter +27714821289
  12. I would say that due to exchange rates not many if any brand name imported goods are competitively priced.
  13. Yes but stock is a real problem. Been waiting since March for a frame !
  14. Whats the sizing like on these bibs, is it a case of size up when compared to local brands or equivalent ?
  15. A normal tube patch applied on the inside works wonders. However if the cut is to big it may not work. The savings in time on side of the road and constantly buying tubes still make tubless worth it !
  16. Thanks I seem to have found some spares at Rugged Distribution, It did take some time though.
  17. Could anyone advise who one could contact regarding ABUS helmet spares. Specifically looking for a replacement pad set for a Airbreaker helmet . I tried contact Rugged Distribution via their listed email address but have had no success. Thanks
  18. From what I can recall one can source those pins. Would be an electronic component not a specific SRAM part. It is repairable and ultimately depends on your technical expertise !
  19. You should enable ironing it will assist in the finish of the top surfaces
  20. If you know what the correct duties are you can contest the calculation and they will normally fix it. The best is to supply them with the actual customs code for the item.
  21. Spoke to agent last week regarding my outstanding warranty replacement. Was told they had just received a shipment of bikes and three is still another shipment due. However I cannot comment on what was received or is due. Seems like the Merida factory is running behind production if one looks at their bike availability globally. Especially on higher end models.
  22. Just use what you have and get an aero helmet !
  23. Did a crash replacment on a HJC helemt. Was given 40% off a new helmet.
  24. Suppose this implies that the Polar H10 is the benchmark when it comes down to choosing a heart rate monitor.
