  1. Perfect guys thanks. It was Nick that quoted me last year.thanks for the details again.
  2. Hi all, I’m looking for a wheel builder that can source rims and build a 24 spoke, 27,5er wheel set for me. I have hubs already which I want to use. I’m Cape Town based. I was in touch with a wheel builder last year but my email got hacked and so everything has been reset and wiped out, so lost those details. let me know if you know a wheelbuilder. Thanks
  3. I have a Fox 32 grey in colour, 15mm TA tapered steerer fork which I can sell you.Excellent condition. DM me if you want to chat.
  4. Spotted your bike with the rigid fork for sale on Facebook marketplace I'll see if I can send you the link plus the dude
  5. Maybe I have a Fox 26er fork that i havent used much because I changed over to a 120mm It's T/A and tapered.Steerer is 21cm, I think. .I'll have to take out of storage and send u pics

  7. Howsit Can anyone give me links to downloadable GXP or similar files of MTB or trail running routes in the Western Cape can download to my TOM TOM spark 3. I can hold a total of 15 trails to follow. Thanks
  8. Have you tried extra thick silicon grips and bar ends?
  9. thanx guys will try the chain guide thingy
  10. yup running NW. chain doent seem too long Measured the usual way.
  11. I just recently upgraded to a 1x10 with a 32 ring up front and went 11/42 at the rear. The problem is my chain now keeps hopping off my chainring when speeding down bumpy hills.I'm assuming its because I did a conversion and dont have a roller bearing clutch rd. Will a chain catcher work to eliminate this problem?
  12. So just before my weekend ride my Shimano rear brake had no grip whatsoever. I was desperate and had no Shimano mineral oil to bleed into the system, so I grabbed a little shock oil in a syringe and opened the valve cap at the back, pumped a little oil in there until the brake lever felt a little fuller, the opened the reservoir by the lever and added drop by drop of the shock oil and pumped the lever until it felt like i had proper brakes again. I'm sure this oil is much thicker than the Shimano bleed oil, but it worked. Any coments on how this could be detrimental? My brakes worked great and even better after the ride and I rode some hairy stuff. Some thoughts would be great from you bike techy guys. Thanks
  13. And then more schoolkids can cycle to school on a scenic route. It's what we've all secretly wanted. More people on bicycles!!
  14. Time is money. You're paying fo time on the road!!
