You could possibly come in from Kyalami through Sunninghill (through that dodgy road pass Leeuwkops visitor entrance), and drop in on the trail behind ChilliLane?

I'm super tempted to take this stuff to my Ibis Mojo SL. I have the carbon finish frame, and was looking at doing a clearcoat to cover up some of the scratches I have...Thoughts? Perhaps I'll test on a small area...like with skin products...unless someone has an unwanted bunny somwehere?

OK, plan B...doing a print out which I'll stick to the bike shop at broadacres... I'll keep details of times and destination light. People can phone for more details. Don't wanna give any would-be hijackers a head up of the schedule...

HIJACKED (the thread that is... ) Looking for someone to do MTB rides in the afternoon from Broadacres. Looking to do 20-30km starting at roughly 15:00/16:00 aftrer work on weekdays. Fitness level is "MEDIUM" Anyone keen? Later

Exactly what I was after... Thanx

Hi all, I'm keen on servicing/rebuilding a couple of Fox shocks over the next week or so. As usual, Google hasn't coughed up something specific to my needs, so I'm attempting to go it alone. At the time of posting this, Johan Bornman seems to be on leave so I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place with regards to help and parts. Can we start with answers or help on the following: 1) Where can I purchse the service kits and spares for Fox forks and rear shocks? 2) Where can I get the user manual for 2008/09 overhauls / services? I have the ones that explain general maintenance, but sometimes more is required. (oil weights, amounts, etc) 3) Does one have to use the Fox specific oil, or are there substitutes? Needless to say, the motivation for doing this is realising that 4-5 services later I could have bought a new shock if I paid for services at LBS's. Quotes for servicing ranged between R380 to R750 depending on who you ask. This is also releative to what gets done, and the old addage about doing it yourself rings true for things where you can't see what has been done or replaced, especially with costs ranging so widely on different quotes. Any help would be appreciated. (I could be nice and post step by step pichers while doing this if the feedback is relevant and accurate) Regards

Ego... Something we all suffer from. Mate of mine on this same forum broke a rib in the Sabie Classic last year on the first stage. Didn't wanna check it out and wanted to do the night stage still. After a check with the medic, which I forced out of him, they realsed his rib is cracked. Stubborn I tell you...

I googled... Didn't find much.

Hi all, Thanx for the input. Managed to get some shiped from Rush cycles in the end. their service is indeed above some of the places I've had to deal with previously. Much appreciated.

Hi all, I'm hoping someone has an idea as to where I can find some Industry 9 specific sopkes. I have an Industry 9 Ultralite 26" wheelset in red, and over the weekend pulled the chain over the cluster and stuffed up at least three of the drive side spokes. I've been to my LBS (Broadacres) and Linden cycles as well as Mike's bikes and nobody could help just yet... In the mean time, I've sent mail to Industry 9 themselves hoping to get some information. Any help would be appreciated in the mean time. Regards

Hi, I have a set of X9 shifters which are pretty hard to click through (going up gears). Where does one adjust this setting, as compared to some other SRAM shifters I've used they seem to be tight or just plain hard to click? Much appreciated

My baby... Kinda swapped bikes with Shimano 105 Had an '08 Scott Spark 30, but the cockpit was too aggressive.

Hey all, I have a set of Magura Marta SL red brakes. From a bail on the weekend I snapped the hose nipple going into the brake lever. I have a spare nipple, but how does one remove the old nipple and crimp the new one back on? would I require specific tools for this?

Both brake sets are very good. The only major difference as mentioned earlier is the parts availability. I for example snapped a hose nipple, and finding parts locally is a bit of an issue. I'm having to source from chain reaction in the UK on the Magura stuff.

Hi, Sorry for the contradicting post, but yes, as someone mentioned, NOS "New old stock". I mentioned bottoming out and lockout cos I get a really hard type of "clang" sound when the shock eventually hits the no go point halfway through the travel. I don't really know what the exact condition is called. Suppose I could be technically challenged. I have since dropped the fork off for service, and should get it back next week. According to many of the forums I've read so far, this seems to be a fairly common issue on the REBA's, and could easily be fixed. I would however like to know what the possible causes for this condition could be? Maybe I stuffed it up unknowingly? Thanx
