    OKO

    Hi, Can anyone tell me where I can buy some oko tyre sealant. I am in the roodepoort area but cant seem to find it and really want to try it out. Let me know Thanks
  3. I have had the same problem with my Hydrapak bite valve, but I have had a problem with the bladder connection breaking too. Can you possibly let me know who you contacted both in S.A and in California as I would like to make contact with them
  4. Show me a roadie move out the way for a car in the cradle. What a joke
  5. Is anyone going to try make these?
  6. Not to sound stupid, but what can you do with the points?
  7. Are there any patents regarding the discs?
  8. I will def. look into making a site. I have asked for routes on the hub before but got little response. If there is a big enough need I will set up a free site.
  9. do you have a route in .kml format? Is there anyway to bypass riding on that road section?dalem442009-11-06 01:21:36
  10. I know it's digging graves reopening such old posts but is there any chance you still have that gpx file? did you ever do the route?
  11. Thanks for that! I was keen on making a South African only MTB route site. Do you think I would be wasting my time?
  12. What is the difference with the cage length and with rapid rise? What does this mean, as I am looking at buying a new derailleur but have no clue as to what I am looking at. Are derailleurs also specific to the amount of gears they can handle? Thanks in advance
  13. I checked the headset and it is not the same as the one on the link you provided. Considering that I have had the headset for 3 years, it hasn't been bad. To me, the headset is still ok but will have to look into sorting the problem out before it gets more damaged. (if it is damaging internals) Any things I should look out for with regards to steerer wear and such?
  14. When I checked the bearings the didn't seem damaged at all, however I will take the whole lot apart again to clean and re-grease them. Is it bad to take it apart too much. I have a WTB momentum comp ST threadless headset. It looks like both bearings are identical and I have never changed them. This problem seems like one that has developed over time. Any ideas on what to do?
  15. I have checked the wheel bearings and they are very smooth. Regarding when it happens, It only seems to start the shuddering noise after a couple of km's and its only when I steer. I am almost 100% sure that it is the steerer in the tube. What will be the best remedy for this? take it apart, take the bearings out, clean them and regrease again? Thanks for all the help
  16. I have checked the steerer and there is no play whatsoever so now I am back at square one with this irritating noise. Any ideas?
  17. I went for my ride today and the noise is still there after a few km's. If I lift up the front wheel and turn the bars, there is no noise so this makes me wonder if it is the pressure from the bearings on the steerer. Is this possible?
  18. Thanks for the info, I have since opened up the headset and re greased the completely dry bearings so I imagine that this was the problem. I will be doing a ride later today so I will give some feedback. Thanks again
  19. I have a strange noise coming from my headset, the strange thing is that I only hear it on long rides. It sounds like its shuddering and it is rather irritating. Is this a symptom of headset bearings needing a re-grease?
