  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. I have SRAM shifter with XT brakes, got this item from Amazon. Works same as the Wolftooth. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LDLVSVP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  9. Cycle Gallery in Bryanston or Cycles United in Northriding.
  10. Just a shout out for some awesome service to Ruan at Lyne Components for organising rims for me. So far so good. Then to Jacques at Cycle Gallery in Bryanston for getting the wheels tensioned and trued in a jiffy.
  11. Yeah I think that is what it is going to come to. Not like I use the lock-out much anyway.
  12. Cheers, thanks for the feedback.
  13. 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.
  14. Riding a Scalpel Si 3 2017 model. Might just have to setup the gopro on brackets and clamps to have a look to see whats going on.
  15. Slightly off topic chaps.....so I was looking at the same scenario. Xmas came and with it a voucher which I used to get the NX upgrade kit. I've installed and and am happy with it. To be honest I find the shifting, pretty smooth and silent and the lever action lighter than my previous XTR setup. This could be due to my immense strength build from "playstation/xbox thumbs" However has anyone had any issues with "trail chatter" from the rear derailleur? I find that over bumpy sections the derailleur is quite noisy. Would this be because there is no "lock out" clutch?
