  1. It works without wires . But seriously: Does the sensor not work on the same principle as a inverter? Hear my logic, an inverter reads the demand and allocates a portion of the battery power to the required load but if the load is reduced i.e. the kettle has stopped boiling it then releases the allocated power and displays the actual value? Am I giving too much credit and or making the sensor smarter than it actually is .
  2. Yes @figjam_sa has bought a belt from them before
  3. You're more than welcome to have them, I will give them to you for R99.00 as they're less desirable
  4. My quote was referring to the 2nd hand market in particular, the moment a brand releases a new or refreshed logo the older logo becomes less desirable and sits longer before it sells. Just an observation based on historical information
  5. Fantastic, thank you very much. I will do just that
  6. So now that we've resolved my bugg bear it is time for me to ask, I am looking for one of those blue dials on a rear shock where the cable fixes to (for remote lockout), those items are quite pricey. Strange thing happened to one of mine: the grub screw broke out of the dial and took a big chunk along with it. Most probably metal fatigue but alas, such is life
  7. So should it be may or might 😁. I am referring to the name of this thread
  8. This is really bugging me, should it not be "may" instead of "might"? Can the grammar police please stand up
  9. I can use the wheels and bear arm
  10. No clue, I had quite a bit going on since I originally found out and actually forgot about it .
  11. So something I've picked up recently, very sneaky from the guys in blue and gold to say the least: I have been with them for quite a few years and recently whenever I will claim the number R10 000.00 gets mentioned a few times. Earlier this year in May I claimed for my Wahoo Kickr 5 (around R25k to replace) and again they only paid out R10 000.00 - the co-payment. Turns out, don't know exactly when this happened but my policy covers up to the value of R10k and if I want higher cover it is an additional cost to upgrade my plan. This means that everything that has been specified on my policy (for which I am paying individually) will only be paid out to the value of R10k (if I understand the consultant correctly). Just a side note, this was not always the case. I claimed for an inverter back in 2021 and they paid out the full amount (roughly R20k) My point: just confirm that the above mentioned does not apply to your policy as well and that this has been a blanket change to all policy holders
  12. You know what this means for all the old logo bikes?
  13. Mine is a true Franken-bike, I can't find a kiekie now but it is a Schwinn Fastback road frame with a wider carbon fork some sweet Mavic road wheels with 38c gravel tires a flat bar and a 2x10 set up. Mtb 11/36T at the back with a road 39/52T in the front. Flat bars, mtb shifters, child seat and a number plate 3D printed by a fellow hubber "Café Racer" .
  14. My opinion: Don't get too bogged down with Microspline and XD. Go with Sunrace or Sunshine or even NX normal HG (Hyper Glyde). You will find that the normal HG 12 speed hubs are cheaper than the XD and Microspline and give you acceptable or even more than acceptable km's. The moment you go with Micro spline and XD you're kinda stuck and have to pay whatever the big mogul wants to charge you
  15. Run the PC1110 on the 10 speed. Those PC chains are normally 114 L and does not work great on an 11 speed 😁. Send me a DM and I will gift you a 10 speed rear mech
  16. What does the sealed bearing look like, maybe I have something
  17. Not to come across like a box Nick but you mentioned that you're busy with a wheel build, therefore the BOOST part sits with the hubs and doesn't matter .
  18. American Classic is lighter than Stans .
  19. I use my watch in conjunction with Fulgaz and it syncs with vitality, syncing through Zwift will give you issues
  20. I am sure a longer screw will create enough clearance
  21. I am struggling or slow or lazy for not reading the post from 3 years ago. But anyway, is this issue on a road or mtb and how many gears? What throws me is the 11/32 which makes me think that it is a road bike but then you mention that you cannot get the wheel to seal. So is the query the fact that the rear mech doesn't want to go all the way to 32t?
  22. Head to your LBS and ask them to give you one. They normally offer one for free
  23. I just specify the unit under my insurance and if / when it breaks I claim through them, why go through the hassle of dealing with a supplier
  24. Have you tried replacing the rotors?
