  1. Posted comments as a heads up, to other unsuspecting victims, who might be lurking in the shadows, contemplating a rim rebuild.
  2. No Doubt....
  3. Pulled the trigger yesterday on the ZTR Flow EX rims. Took my ZTR Olympic wheelset to CWC and booked in for the rebuild. Today I got a call from CWC informing me that I will need new spokes and nipples as the spokes are 4mm too short. All the calculators I used, showed a 1mm variance between the two rims, no matter what lace configuration used. Needless to say I will now be a further +-R1000 out of pocket. Peeved I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. Thanks Skott5. Didn't notice it while riding.....only thing I noticed was how wide my smile has become
  5. Thanks BigWheelMTB and YUMEYA......mind at ease now Enjoyed it for the first time yesterday
  6. Thanks 2Nuz. Thought it may be the top cap bushing which is worm. Just concerned that if it does this out-of-the box, what will it be doing in 6 months from now.
  7. I recently acquired a new Rockshox Reverb Dropper Post, and out of the box, it has play at the seat mount. If I hold the post and move the seat, it has a little bit of side to side play. I have checked the seat mountings and they seem fine. The play seems to be at the top of the seatpost. Is this normal? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
  8. I had exactly your problem when replacing a stem and handlebar. Turned out I needed a spacer, as my stem was slightly longer, on the steerer. A +-R45 fix.
  9. Speed is your friend.....when you attempt to ride slowly over most obstacles, "Murphy" will take that as a sign that you are ready for a little "lie down"....;-)
  10. Thanks for all the assistance and info JB, much appreciated.
  11. Yup....English-Xhosa dictionary....never know when you need to ask directions

  13. Yup. My sentiments exactly.
  14. After further research and input from various local cycle shops, it seems as if I'll need to replace nipples only. Not sure about Arch to Flow as the erd difference between them is 5mm, whereas Olympic to Flow is only 1mm. Was hoping to use the same nipples and maybe shortening the spokes(First Prize, cost wise).
  15. Could new nipples cater for the 1mm deficit?
