  2. We are going to iFafa (on the south coast) this weekend... heard there is a 31km mostly gravel route from there. Is it marked? Any more details? Thanks a
  3. I canceled my Rouvy subscription yesterday...
  4. If you use a pool noodle, sock, yoga mat or any other padding (or nothing for that matter), use a old style toe clip strap to secure and prevent bike unclipping itself... I have seen a couple of bikes that have been dragged on the highway behind cars - not good
  5. Love your work Nick!
  6. But where has the "Wanted" button gone?
  7. I have had a Tallboy 2, 3 4 and 5... every time the best bike ever!
  8. Mr Min? Uncle Jeff? He is still very well!
  9. Either way... the good thing is you can use a derailleur alignment tool to straighten the hanger
  10. I would suggest Helicoil... if they come in that thread size Please keep us updated on the outcome
  11. I had the same problem… the issue is often what to do with the front wheel if you take it off and lateral stability when going off road… I take the front wheels off and mount the fork in a Holdfast fork holder https://solomonscycles.co.za/products/holdfast-all-in-one-upright-bicycle-holder/?utm_source=Google Shopping&utm_campaign=Google Merch &utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=66402 . These can also easily be home made. Then I made these holders for the front wheel. They go next to the back wheel so that you can strap both wheels (and thus frame/fork) together for lateral stability…
  12. Disc brakes above Electronics!

    Anybody got some spare cash lying around? My wife has not fallen for my hints... https://shop.kiddiwinks.co.za/Theme/Technic/liebherr-crawler-crane-lr-13000-42146
  14. Find a proper wheelbuilder
  15. I also think the train in ok Just make sure the bikes can be transported (are allowed) on the train....
  16. You can get these reducer headsets from german online bikeshops…
  17. Well done! I love your attention to detail and appreciation of the finer things in life! Your patience in ordering from Amazon and waiting for parts to arrive is also admirable!
  18. Wet one of the knobbies on the tyre with water/spit or even paint. Do full rotation and measure distance between 2 wet spots…
  19. Apart from the financial benefits of solar over the long run, I feel people who have the financial means, have the environmentally moral "obligation" to choose solar. Generators are noisy and smelly!
  20. Which Tallboy is it and what size?
  21. Not all hubs have a sleeve between the bearing race and the through axle. Some hubs have the bearing sitting straight on the axle and i have found it quite stuck in some wheels. Not sure if that is the case in with this one.
  22. I think the axles are seizing onto the bearing inner races and not the end caps….
  23. I would suggest transporting the bike inside the car, not outside on a rack where it will get stolen or ripped off easily
