Hi Martin, Thanks for the assistance I think it might come to that, but the crank is not on mt Primary Bike, it's on my 26" play bike.

Hi guy's and gals. I have a Giant Crank with 24mm spindle and there is some play between the crank arms. It's not like the Shimano cranks that have pinch bolts. It has a bolt similar to the octerlink cranks. Is there some sort of paste I can put on the splines to stop the play? The play is parallel to the wheels. Thanks

Hi Stew I would Not look at a FatBike... They are heavy and the wide tyres cause a lot of rolling resistance. What is your Budget? and where do you plan on riding? Spruit, Modderfontein, Northern Farms?

Booking DONE!!! Looking forward to the Trip!

R3285?

This is so sad!!! Condolences to the Family.

Yes and Yes

I am 182cm.

How much do you weigh? I weigh 100kg and would NOT buy a 2nd hand Anthem. I love my Giant Anthem !!! and have had 4! 1st 26" (2005) bought 2nd Hand - Frame Cracked 2nd 26" (2009) bought 2nd Hand - loved it sold on BikeHub 1st 29" (2011) bought 2nd Hand - Frame Cracked 2nd 29" (2013) Bought New - Frame Cracked - Replaced under warranty My 2013 29" Anthem the frame cracked ( at the Top tube and Seat Post). Fortunately I bought it new and the frame was replaced with a 2017 model. The 2017 model Giant has addressed the weak spot at the Toptube and Seatpost and it looks stronger. If you're under 85kg Yes buy a 2nd Hand Anthem - you will not regret it !! if you're over 85kg rather get a Specialized, Trek, Scott Or Silverback. if I had to replace my Anthem and given my 100kg weight, I would go for a 2nd hand 'Trail Bike' with a beefier frame in the lines of: Silver Back Stratos (120mm Trail Bike) Specialized Camber or Stump Jumper Merida 120 600

OK that makes sense, i was wondering how that fell off while ridding.

How do you lose that?

You expect me to read that whole article .... on a Friday nogal... just to motivate to my wife that I need to go riding tomorrow?

Thanks Thermophage, a little out of the budget range and no internal battery. I current have a similar setup with MagicShine 1000lm headlamp ( with external Bat) on my lid and and MagicShine 1000lm bar mount ( with External Bat) on my bars, I bough them about 10 years ago. The lights still work great but I am looking to simplify with the internal Batteries.

Thanks for your input Savage. You can get 18650 Rechargeable batteries quite easily now... i even think that i saw some on the self at Builders Warehouse the other day, they come in 3.7V and 4.2V make sure you get the correct one. https://www.takealot.com/samsung-30q-18650-3000mah/ https://www.takealot.com/samsung-inr-25r-2500-mah-18650-battery/

Thanks Andrew, this looks great, I will add it to my comparison.

Thanks for your input, the 'Orion 1000' has an external battery the 'Ryder Light Concept 1000' has the internal ( and Replaceable ) that i am looking for.

Hi hubbers I at looking at getting a new Bike Light an am considering this: https://www.rydercycling.co.za/ryder-products/lights/900-lumen-front-detail Does any know how wide the beam is? I can't find any information on this on the interweb. I am wanting a Wide Beam for MTB night riding not a SPOT light. I have lights similar to the Marvel Pro 900 and Streak lights but I am looking for a strong Light and Battery in one. Thanks for your input.

I was in BoxMan the other day and saw this... walk in walk out... R145... https://boxman.co.za/product/bicycle-box-dwb-double-wall-board/?v=68caa8201064

The Reba 80mm is too little, you will need at least 120mm fork or 130mm Check the Reba you may be able to convert it to 100,120, 130 mm

Done

This is from my cycling whatsapp group: "he (the cyclist) came from Bayside on the wrong side and wanted to cross over to the cycle lane on the junction. The cars stopped on red, but the bus had green, so the bus hit him head on. Then the bus tried to swerve and went into the opposite lane." As I said, not an eyewitness account - just what was posted on our group. Wow!! Cyclist miss read traffic lights and causes a bus to swerve almost flipping the bus... kudos to the bus driver!
