bye bye cassette, most recently my chain lasted 800km's, and then when i put a new chain on SLIP SLIP SLIP. I do however think the problem was riding a worn chain which killed my cassette. So, now I have a new chain and cassette as well as a chain checker!! I check the chain all the time and as soon as it hits 0.75 - in the bin. Hopefullys this saves me some rands and cents in the long run

I used to watch his shows religiously as a kid!!! Dont u remember the noodle ad??? didnt he throw one on the roof...............what a drunk as well ahh man what a loss to society

So in conclusion (for me anyways) 1. XT rims 2. UST tyres (not sure which one so recomensation welcome) 3. Sealant Thats all I need??

r tubeless ready rims far superior?? Im not keen for ''burpig'' and all the other horror stories ive ready about! sealent then performs the same function as slim in tubes??

r those XT rims tubeless ready????

rad006 i gather u have a lbs???

nothing?

I've been riding my hardtail for nearly 1000km's and the back tyre is starting to look a little smooth. So..... Everywhere I look and everyone I talk to is using tubeless. Is it really really worth it?? I have'nt had any issues with some slime in my tubes and good old tyre liners. I dont have tubeless ready rims so I would have to get a strip. One last thing, I live in Gauteng, what are the opinions as to the best tyre combinations for the climate?? Thanks!!!!

correct

Hey all, The couple that got knocked off the tandem are membes at my shul. He is a great guy, and an excellent cyclist. Always encouraging me to take up cycling and join a club etc. As far as their injuries go, they are not so serious ie no serious broken bones and all that kinda stuff. They do however have cosmetic injuries, alot of scratches and scrapes especially on his face. They will PG make a full recovery! As for the fool in the hyundai......well circles are round.

Good afternoon to all, Myself and a few mates are going to be doing our first Triathlon at the end of October. Its part of the BsG series and includes a 600m swim, a 20km ride and a 5km run. Not exactly the ironman, but I still think I should train for it. Does anyone have or know of a place where I can get a really basic programme?? Any help in this regard will be appreciated, even if its got to do with race day etc. Cheers

Not sure if you've done any reasearce but there is a term for it called handlebar paulsy. Basically its from nerve compression in you hand when resting on the grips. So you have tried bar end??? You get these grips called ergo grips or something like that. Basically the grip is not 100% cylindrical but flattens out toward the end of the grip, and provides more surface area to rest your hands on. Those plus bar ends should sort u out. Remember to change your hand position as often as possible.

The mavic shoes are apparently salomon shoes with a mavic logo on them. I bought the entry level shimano's for 900 bucks a while back and they are fantastic. Also easy to walk in for those portage sections. I to have wide feet, and these have been fine. my 2 cents

excellent

Thanks parabola. I did exactly what u recomended without even seeing ur post first!! Stripped and cleaned out the whole thing. Never had silicone spray but used Q20 which should do the job. I have a double bolt x mission and its not much better, maybe i should get something better?? Anyways rode around the garden and its all gone!!! Now i must just pay extra attention to that area when cleaning after riding!!!

So how did you fix it???? I weigh 90kg's so im roughly the same. Do i need to go on a diet??? hahaha

Dont have another saddle unfortunately Im assuming theres no way to take a seat apart???

DaveT I have a selle italia and im of the same opinon. I also thinks its coming from there!! Tried to get some q20 in there but no luck as of yet. Gave it a good cleaning and greasing last night but still no luck. Maybe a new seat post???

Its so irritating. By the sounds of it you've also had no luck. Have u replaced the seat post??

Hi all, I have a hardtail MTB. My seat/seat post creaks every time I go over some bumps (pretty much most of the time) and its darn irritating. Any suggestions?? Ive given it a serious clean and sprayed some lube into all the little crevices. Its an X mission seat post and does'nt appear to be ne piece. There is like a head piece which fits into the post. Maybe its that?? Any suggestions would be great. Not in the mood for spending cash on a new one. Cheers

It could backfire though, coz if u by urself (which u should'nt be), he'll chase ur @ss down and panga u!!! risk & reward???? or you could chase his @ss down the road and panga him. but what if there are two of them??? geeees the trials and tribulations of being a south african gotta love em.

I thinks that very feasible!! Excellent idea Let me know me when you have a demo model available. Ill definately take one!!

Well they look like great bikes, and when the need arises, and the balances look good ill get in touch. Best of luck with ur new venture. Im sure you gys are gonna do great!!!!!
