  1. And the non boost hubs (i.e. 15x100; 142x12)? Boost are not what I am looking for
  2. Nope! That is a pity, faced the battle of finding an XL for ages. Oh well, maybe next time
  3. Thanks Hairy. No feedback on my side either as yet
  4. Do you know what they are asking for said XL bike?
  5. Following on from my previous post, I realise pics are way more useful! Below are items I have available if anyone wants them (includes a old wired bike computer, bars, water bottle cages, pedals, grips, small ladies gloves, shoes). It's for collection only (Cape Town). PM me if you're interested in anything - the ultimate preference would be for someone to take it all... And then to add, I have a bicycle that needs some TLC but is still in decent condition. It's a 26er Trek 4300 (16"). Again, for collection only (first come first served for this one)
  6. Hi. I'm in Cape Town. Prefer local pickup as I am wanting to offload the things with min hassle
  7. I have a box of things I am looking to offload if anyone wants it. Saddles, avid v brakes (no levers), riser bar (680 wide), bottle cages, shoes (sizes 11 and 12),grips and one or two other things. Most things are in OK condition. I'll take pics if there is any interest

  9. I'm currently in the active process of going through the express entry route. Have an open offer for a job in Vancouver which I will try leverage. The costs of the express entry route are pretty brutal, nevermind the pending expense of living in a city like Vancouver! But I think it will be a worthwhile experience and opportunity. I will update on my process as I go along
  10. Amazed he just got up and carried on. Crash looked brutal

  12. Alpine Stars kit (although mostly only smaller sizes available) https://www.flook.co.za/shop/alpinestars?utm_source=Flook+Master+List&utm_campaign=dbba6805d0-Master+List+-+03+July+2019+AM+%28Alpinestars%29&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ad71c5162e-dbba6805d0-289295733&mc_cid=dbba6805d0&mc_eid=aab34de7a0#filters,1

  15. If for whatever reason you hadn't spotted these yet https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/365781-crank-brothers-stamp-2-flats/
  16. Sounds to me like you would be better off buying a new rim. I would suspect that joint in the rim would always remain weak, even if it can be repaired
  17. Why not just get a 28t or 30t chainring?
  18. Doesn't look like you're the only one. Here is a recent discussion on pretty much the same topic https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/181239-sweat-band/?hl=sweat
  19. Online stores (links below) or your LBS should be able to get a hold of whichever model you're after https://www.pinned.co.za/shoes/ https://ridewithzeal.co.za/collections/five-ten-shoes https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/five-ten
  20. I suspect they stopped the Terrex Trail Cross once they took over the Five Ten brand
  21. I use the Fox Launch Enduro knee pads. They've served me well and the protection they offer is reasonable. They're solid for slide outs but in rocks they don't offer great protection, although it's better than nothing! Despite the abuse I have put them through, I still have not had any construction failures which is a plus. They are however pretty warm for a long-ish day in the saddle, but I've never found them to be unbearable.
