I agree with holy, what a fantastic Initiative

what awesome pics - thanks DD

MTB or Road ?

okay problem sorted without having to buy new pads Read an interesting thing in a local mag recently & decided to give it a try. Its probably old news but......I didnt know it until i read about it take water sandpaper & put it on a smooth surface & run the disc pad over them to sand the glazing that has occured over time off. Gently does it though cause you could dramatically reduce the lifespan on the brake pad cause it sands away like no ones business I then tried it out & man oh man, it feels like ive just walked out the LBS with a new set of wheels So if youve experienced the same as me try it & even if your brakes dont feel the same as when they were new do this...... It will make a mojor impact on your stopping power & once again make it smooth & feel brand new BNG Out

i also found that a normal green dishwashing sponge worked wonders, the rough side that is & doesnt scratch the hell out of the metal but does the intended purpose

I cant belive not more people are jumping at this oppertunity. Its a bloody messy job but fun nontheless. If you dont know how, then get it done for free or just about. You pay between R400 & R450 for that you know where as you could just be paying for new seals/washers major bargain in my opinion

ive been a seller ( sold shifter/brake combo ), struggled to get the money for that but did eventually as there was a valid explanation which i wasnt aware of until no99, i actually turned the parcel around & had to repost it. My fault for sending before payment but mostly ive been a buyer & have had nothing but good service from all the ppl ive bought from. Things looked as advertised & things were done as discussed with me so really i cant complain ive got a lot of stuffies thanks to hub sales - as they say - One mans junk is another mans treasure although you still pay lots for that treasure but its a damsight cheaper than the LBS

Johan has been around the block a couple of times you know takes hat & runs

no it works like a bolt & nut structure & doesnt screw into the frame but rather into each other through the frame I think/hope i will be able to get one but it just looks like such a neish bolt that i dont want to buy a new hangar just to get the said bolt

So i get home nice & ealry yesterday & quickly get to into cleaning my bike which got negelcted over the past week for a good scrubbing take the backwheel off to get into those nooks & crannies but before tha could happen my entire derailer falls like a rock. On closer inspection i see the hangar is still attached to the derailer but not the frame. Lucky for me ive got the old goose frame still hanging in the garage & poach the old hangar bolt off there. Think i could have seen my aaalie quite bad should the said hangar lose grip on the frame as the skewer bolts onto the hangar Anyway what i wanna know is, is this fairly common or just an anomolly Oh & one more thing, will i be able to buy another hangar bolt from the LBS do you think ?

hell freakin yea I also want a rooi roomys fiets, pity my bank manger doesnt think the same way i do otherwise we'd be awesome friends

too true about the accidental occurances that happen, but that was the answer i was looking for. Im speaking metaphorically & in an ideal world. 18 months is more than good enough for me I just wasnt sure on the compound of tyre, soft or hard. Good wearing or not.

perhaps a goose. They are IMO very good bang for your buck esp when it entry level

sho she is pretty, many happy miles

hmmmm if thats bent you gonna have to replace the hangar, sorry im not concentrating, been up since 2 this morning. I dont even know where youd even begin to look for a new goose hangar. Perhaps try the disties they might be able to help

well my XT long cage fitted on my goose when i still had it. Heres a pic to show you

sorry one more question but this is just for interests sake what type of mileage can i expect out of of my race kings

Philip - Quick question though How did the steerer tube snap, break, crack. Its just curiosity as ive never heard of that before or is it a common occurence & ive never heard of it before

nice pics there holy, See your still on the bike at least

ahhhhhhh sweet. thanks for the info, really appreciate it

K so i wanna buy some race kings. 1.Will they fit my rim - I currently run 1.95 kendas 2.Will it fit under my fork legs arch. reason im asking is that they look like they have quite a big sidewall or it possibly could be that it might be an optical illusion 3.What does 2.2 indicate on the tyre - Is that the profile of the tyre I need your help plz, plz plz

This was doing my home route yesterday. WOW it was slippy but ooooooo so much fun. Then stopped by for a brekkie at the Maxis in Silverlakes with the wife & folks

Hmmmmm kowus, nice. Is your bakkie here at work ?. Might wanna pop round & take a look at it now now if youre still gonna be in for a while

dont rub it in, here at the office till 15:30 & then off home for a quick ride. Dog training early tomorrow morn so a cool ride is out of the question. Definately wanna ride Sunday & i dont care who says what
