  4. 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).
  5. Could new nipples cater for the 1mm deficit?
  6. Thanks Hairy. Trying to save costs, don't mind getting new nipples, but spokes are not in the budget. Spelling:-(
  7. Nice app....just not sure regarding the lacing pattern question though. But, thanks for this info helps a lot. Notice, from the calculation result, that the spokes would need to be about 1mm longer
  8. Can any of you, who are in the know, tell me whether I would be able to use the same spokes and nipples if I want to exchange my ZTR Olympic rims with Ztr Flow rims? I currently have Hope Pro 2 Hubs and DT Swiss Spokes. Thanks in advance.
  9. Welcome to CT. See you on the trails. ps. I'm also an ex Dbnite, been here ten years......and the water is still frikken cold.
  10. What S.I.R Maxxis said and, a good quality Torque Wrench.
  11. I buy most of my Vinyl from musicstack.com.
  12. I am looking for a good/excellent quality LP by "The Gladiators", titled - "Trenchtown MixUp", released on the "Virgin" label in 1976. The CD is readily available, but the LP has eluded me so far.
  13. Even though I do not participate a lot on the forum, I have bought a frame and rear sus(eft), fork(cash in hand), hrm(eft), 2 x wheelsets(cash in hand), handlebars(cash in hand) and rear derailleur(cash in hand). I have also sold a few odds and ends(cash in hand). Thanks to all the hubbers I have dealt with for being honest and trustworthy.
  14. I have bought and sold quite a few items on the hub, ranging from a frame to a derailleur without any problems. Thanks to all the honest and trustworthy people...keep it up.
  15. Well Done! Hope the bike returns to it's rightfull owner.
  16. You would not hold anyone back...least of all me! My downhill/singletrack skills are gr8, it's the uphill skills that I lack(could be fitness related ) If you are interested, I will be riding through Rondebosch Common at around 07h00 on Sat 18th, heading toward Alma road.
  17. Gr8. Will call you. I am on leave from 8th to 15th so will be able to ride during the week as well. Unfortunately, after that it will be back to the trainer during the week, and only ride up to Rhodes on Saturday Mornings, sometimes Sundays too.
  18. Hi Droo I ride from Rondebosch, through the common, past UCT to Main Gate of Rhodes Memorial. Then onto contour path above Memorial etc. Same way back. MTB. Regards D
  19. Hi All I am looking for a Riding/Training partner for Saturday Mornings ride up to Rhodes Memorial. I ride every Saturday Morning, but due to the recent hijacking, am looking to ride with someone else. Thanks D
  20. Seems like Rhodes Memorial is also a Danger Area of late!
