Does the bigger front ring make climbing easier?

What would be the ultimate uphill climbing setup be?

I read 32T on the front ring. Here is a pic of the back cassette http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v285/GeeMobee/RearCassette.jpg

Will I struggle to tackle a mountain with this setup?

Happy to report back that I have acquired most of these items listed. Thanks for all the help and happy riding to all!

Now, when I'm going up a hill, do I want the chain over the biggest cog or smallest cog? Are they even called "cogs"?

A Jamis, of which I'm growing very fond of.

I did giggle!

Hi Hubbers, No prizes for guessing who's the noob! I bought a bike and it came with this setup. Any takers for helping me decipher what the gear setup is? I'm rather enjoying it. Gary

Thanks, so the bombs are for inflating the tubes inserted when the possible side wall tears or bigger punctures occur. or, just re-inflating the tubeless tyre when there is a loss in pressure.

Hi BH, Thought the bombs will mess with my sealant? G

What is the consensus on this one: SKS Infusion TT Telescopic Mini Pump http://www.vbike.co.za/infusion-tt-telescopic-mini-pump-75051/

Hi Hubbers, I dont have a pump to inflate my wheels (running Tubeless) Which one is the one to go for and what pressure should I be looking to maintain? There is such a variety so I am leaning on the expertise on this forum. Preferably, I would like to buy only one pump. Cheers Gary

How do you do this?

Cool thanks, will google some youtube vids to see exactly what to do. You say I should do this every 2 months?

That is impressive! Is that what I can expect from most tyres?

Thanks, what does this entail?

Hi Hubbers, So I bought a bike which has a tubeless conversion. What maintenance is required on these to promote the longevity of said wheels? Also, if these tyres get worn out and I need to replace them, would this mean another R1200 for the Tubeless setup? Noob here, so all help is appreciated. Cheers Gary

That's why I love this place... I was turning it the wrong way! Left pedal loosens and tightens the opposite to what my parents taught me. It's all sorted and now my flats are on! Cheers G

Hi Hubbers, I'm in the process of changing to flat pedals but the left side cleat is giving me a headache and won't budge! Any idea on how to remove this trouble maker? Gary

Just got back from there... they offered me the same deal and had one in stock. However none of the bike racks fit my car so I had to walk out without a new bike. Then spotted a deal on this here piece of heaven and it looks like I will have a decent 29er by the end of today. Can I get a whoop whoop? G

I'm new to this game. Something like this maybe, new is R8500... second hand should be around R5-6k ? http://www.vbike.co.za/momsen-al329-2013/ http://www.olympiccycles.co.za/uploads/db0f8a0971604b13b57cfa8121956697-05042013-115242.jpg Frame Race Tech 2 - Alloy 6061 Butted Tubeset Fork RockShox XC30 Turnkey Lockout 100mm Chainwheel SRAM S800 44/32/22T Bottom Bracket SRAM PowerSpline F.

Hi Hubbers, Been looking for good deals for a while but it has been quite frustrating Not a huge budget at around R5-6K. Where are the deals? I stay in Randburg and been looking for a hard tail (Medium) with some decent specs. Help me .... :-) Gary
