  4. Hi all If anyone have issues converting there easton wheels to take 11 speed campy cassette. here is the soloution http://forums.roadbikereview.com/easton/campy-compatibility-easton-r3-hubs-truth-277006.html I ordered me a C2V2 hub of ebay as it workout alot cheaper than Local prices. (Basically half the price) and done conversion as per weblink above. Works 100% no spacers/washers required. Takes about 5 minutes and can be done at home no issues. thought i would share.
  5. Love that chinese version, i guys difference is OEM Specialized stickers cost R30000 or more Babse were did you get frame?
  6. agreed
  7. How do i measure the OLD, bit to technical for me but i can measure and come back to you?
  8. Came accross this post apparently it sorts out the issue on easton wheels, you basically need to change the body to a C2/V2/C3 cassette body. http://forums.roadbikereview.com/easton/campy-compatibility-easton-r3-hubs-truth-277006.html
  9. Ok thanks good to know just a bit of mission put and taking off back wheel with additional washer.
  10. Hi all need advice, got me a set of Easton Tempest 2 Wheels and took it to a LBS to have my 11 speed campy cassette put on. The First LBS sayed it wont work as wheels are not compatible and can't help. So tried next LBS, they add a washer at the back of cassette and there was just enough clearance for lockring to tighten. But when we put wheel on bike the lockring was touching the Frame or dropout and thus wheel not spinning freely. They then added a washer between lockring and frame which allowed wheel to spin freely. It seems fine. My only concern is if this is normal, will this maybe not put strain on frame? Any advice. thanks
  11. I took a 10 speed Campy crank and just changed the chainrings to 11 spd works perfect.
  12. Bought wheels no issues, PM Kiwi he should sort you out, arrnage with him you can proably pick up in JHB if you in JHB.
  13. 100% fake, although those merek parts aren't bad nether groupset. but R10000 offer the the guy R1000... take parts and convert frame to pimping single speed fun B) Love the why it say "Dogma 2" :lol:
  14. anybody got unbranded road bike, personally i love the Chinarello's.... EBAY is KING....got to love the East. The East builds it and the West brands it then sales it for 10x the price..... and says they do all research
  15. Excellent service from CWC, i get my order from then quicker than it takes to drive to local LBS and put up with local attitude. Online all the Way........... LBS just rip off locals espicial in JHB.... Keep up good work CWC.... just my 2cents
  16. CWC does it again, order something late yesturday afternoon. And got delivery this morning.....WOW Excellent service.... Thanks CWC
  17. fake or not, wear it and enjoy...
  18. Intresting advice.. so basically it comes down to a mind game and waste of money?
  19. Hi All Advice please...I was wondering is there a real diffence by upgrading the cartridge bearings on my wheelset (Mavic cosmic carbone sl) to ceramic? Also can anybody advice on what bearings it would take size/model. From what i can tell these are the model numbers but other sources give diffent results: Hub: 1 x 61903 Rear Wheel: 2 x 608 Front Wheel: 2 x 61901 thanks
  20. My suggestion Try the San marco Regale, i had the Specailized Ronin saddle just gave me back ache for some reason my to best saddles: San Marco Regale or Selle italia Max Flight......
  21. also with regards to duties. If seller marks as Gift on shipping no VAT is ussually charged. With regards to Duties, no duties/customs on components (ie Groupset,wheels, frame on its own) i think if you order complete bike or clothing/shoes etc you might be charged. On all my goods i only had to pay VAT,Clearing (ussually about R25)fee on total invoice no customs.
  22. I use Ebay .co.za it then will redirect you to .com or uk but will show all goods available for shipping to SA.
  23. agreed, i built my entire bike excluding frame form ebay..... IT WORKS... Do research on seller, min 95 % good feedback, and pay with paypal.
