  3. Speak to Robbie at RBC in PE Bought my seals, bladder etc from him when my charger damper started leaking and didn't fully lock. he has plenty small spares that might help and you don't have to buy a kit.
  4. Howzit Yes, that would work for seating tubeless tyres. Compressor is also handy to blow any excess water away after washing

  6. Howzit I bought the silca hot melt from privateer https://privateer.co.za/product/silca-secret-chain-blend-hot-melt-wax/ also the drip lube https://privateer.co.za/product/silca-super-secret-chain-lube/ went to cash converters and got a new slow cooker for R200 bucks. i've done about 7 chains, drivetrain stays clean( i use it on my mtb and road bike) and i am OCD about a clean bike! i bought a spare mtb chain so i do both mtb chains at once, rotate and do the waxing on both at the same time, saves time as the heating/initial melting takes some time but after that its quick. I used parrafin in the plastic container to clean(shake method), then degreaser and lastly the acetone as per silca's recommendation. so far I'm happy with the results and the drivetrain stays clean. No more chain scrubber or degreaser when washing the bike so it does save some time. apparently it also extends the live of the drivetrain but still to early to tell...

  8. Thanks madmarc I also reuse quick-links, will give the Sram link a go
  9. Howzit everyone Wondering if someone can help. when splitting a campag 10spd chain for the 1st time, what link can be used to join the chain again? i believe one cannot re-insert the pin again, so was wondering if there is a quick link available that wil work. after the below article i'd rather ask for help and avoid a broken chain on the side of the road https://velo.outsideonline.com/road/road-racing/making-it-work-campagnolos-new-10-speed-chain/
