  1. Was serviced after Trans Baviaans last year by RBC. Only done about 1500km since then.
  2. Thanks, I’ll give that a try.
  3. I have RS Sid Select 35 which makes a weird clicking sound. It occurs after the at the top of the compression stroke after the rebound has pushed the fork to the top, if that makes sense? Anyone have a similar issue or know what the issue could be?
  4. Your can also try Cycles United Services in Northriding. Used to take mine in there.
  5. Rode there 2 weekends ago, also found it very pleasant to ride. Would definately be nice once it's up and running properly. Like if the old golf club house is utilized and you could sit and have a juice or something of the sorts either before or after a ride. Some nice climbs on the route offering great views of JHB and the surrounds also great bird life. Saw a Long Crested Eagle and African Harrier Hawk. One or two route markings need to be sorted but I'll head back for sure, as it's pretty close to home for me. And it should also be pretty safe to ride, unless the inmates need and escape ride. LOL
  6. Just another shout out to the people at Lyne Components for awesome service. Order place yesterday and confirmation mail sent at 09:30, waybill number sent through at 11, parcel delivered to the office in JHB at 08:30. Absolutely fantastic service.
  7. So just to further blow some trumpets. I've been eyeballing bikes for a while and stock being low all around the bike I was looking for was like looking for hens teeth. I read the forum on Monday about the GMC service. So Tuesday morning I pop a mail through to them, get a reply Tuesday morning. They have the bike and spec I'm interested in but there's someone else also interested in it. They will find out if the other party is still interested and get back to me. Tuesday, lunchtime they get back to me, the bike is available. A couple of mail back and forth with some other details needed. End of the story is that it's been invoiced, paid for and will be shipped today. So thanks to Bundu Ric for posting about the good service and thanks to GMC for awesome service! So all in all very happy camper.
  8. Yeah I think that is what it is going to come to. Not like I use the lock-out much anyway.
  9. Cheers, thanks for the feedback.
  10. Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone has taken the Rockshox xloc full sprint remote(Dual lock out) and plugged it to use as a single lockout remote? I have a Scalpel Si3 and am thinking about ditching the Monarch XX for a Fox. But can I then just pop a grub screw in where the rear hose went into the remote, to seal it? I realise that I might have to re-bleed the unit so that the lever can still lockout for the front. Any Ideas, beside having to buy a single lockout remote.
  11. Quick question. Is there or was there a race registration or is that done tomorrow morning at VG? What race boards/numbers do we bring along? R300 isn't too much to ask, water points and being able to ride in a sizable field where you don't have to worry too much about safety. Beats trying to get 95-100km in on a ride, on your own or in a small group, and having to worry about the safety issue.
  12. The worst is when seeing adults and young kids all not wearing helmets. If as a grown up you think you tough enough so be it, but at least make your kids wear helmets. (Saw this on the Spruit this holiday on a number of occasions.) The problem is not to "Let them be, because they not your problem", because what happens if you come across them after having a serious accident? Do you just ride past and let it be or do you stop and assist?
  13. Okay so does anyone run a 11speed chain on a 10speed cassette or is that a no go?
  14. Unit is reunited with it's rightful owner.
  15. I found a Garmin Edge 500 in the twisty down section in Delta Park this afternoon. If you can give the setup details to ID it I can arrange its return to the owner.
