was wondering when they were going to enforce that - it has been the rule for quite somtime now. For about the last year they have only been doing that when it was consigned to a company' date=' not an indiviual.......thank goodness I'm a customs clearing agent......[/quote'] What's a customs clearing agent and how much should we pay you to do the necessary???

hey Oxwagon, I have a 2005 MC which i have upgraded. I did break a rear chain stay clean through on a ride once. Had it replaced and no problems since. I believe they do have problems with the rear stays breaking though although thank goodness it hasnt happened in 2 years and i ride a lot wilder now. Having said that i didnt even service the rear shock for many years, until recently. I've never had major leaking problems with mine. I dump and repump air in on a regular basis and it works great. Very chuffed with the bike.

Hi, I have a top peak comp 150 wireless bike pc and i have managed to reset the distance . But now i cant get it to pick up anything. I've gone to the web and downloaded the manual but it doesnt say how to start it again. Any help?? suggestions

hear hear Shaun, Better to choose the bike on a frame not on components. U can upgrade your components but getting a new frame is gonna cost. Always frame first. Just saying that cos i love GT bikes

i agree. Depends on what u want to do with the biek? XC , all mountain?? I upgraded to a set of Easton XC one wheels which are suopposed to be 30% stronger than other wheels and ended up buckling them in 2 months. Still i saved tons of weight on the bike just from the wheelset and tyres.

what about the bubbles in the disc brake fluid. doent that move? Just wondering cos they said i shouldnt store my bike upside down.

hey 79-2 is Breyton Paulse on his Scott Genius!!

i think i broke my rear stay, had a major puncture, had to go through major bike renovatuions , all in 3 months. Then i've been lucky fior awhile and now again teh buckling of both my rear wheels on my training bike and on teh all mountain bike. Guess you just go through times when u refine your technique b4 u get more adventurous.

yep..and all emergency services were placed on alert for the day so they definitely knew that the argus was on

hi Cyclistmom, Sorry about your son, hope he's recovering well. In defence of the fire department and volunteers, they all do a stunnig job fighting the tons of fires going at the moment. All fireman are also required to have a minimum level 3 first aid. I am assumig that since noone even looked at your son, they were probably not supposed to be using the vehicle and that they were not fire department personell but rather friends of someone in the department. Having said this i think you do need to lay a charge against them because it gives the fire department a bad name, especially if people are abusing the vehicles. If they were fire department personell, then i wouldnt want one of them rescuing me if they are incompetant- I also volunteer for a rescue organization and we are organised and efficient. So by laying a charge you would be doing the fire service some justice... go for it!!

thanx dude

hey, anyone know who is the best for rebuilding or truing wheels in Cape Town?? Seems like i've buckled 2 wheels and the cant be trued....just want a second opinion from someone really good at it!! Thanx

i always thought a good way of measuring was to stand over the bike, pull it up untill it touches your nuts, and seei f there is a t least 12cm clearance. or else u gonna hurt something.

i hda a frame couriered form East London to CT . It was wrapped in Bubble wrap and cardboard and cost R80 to courier it by the post office.

well seeing as the bike prices of new bikes have gone up 20-30 % i figure if the bikes in reasonable condition and is the right size for u, then it's an awesome bike to get. Specialized bikes ride very well. I reckon u cant go wrong.
