  1. My X9 came as a medium for my stumpjumper
  2. Same saddle, same issue. Spray some silicone spray into the ends of the rails where they meet the saddle. After a few kms should be sorted once the silicone has had a chance to work in.
  3. Scrubbing brush then Methiolate

    Fizik Gobi

    I have a Fizik Gobi on my mtb and it has developed a creak. Any suggestions as to how I can get rid of the noise? It is only 6months old.

    Spray with Clean Green, scrub, rinse with hosepipe, dry on washing line. Dusty2009-12-21 02:07:59
  6. My better half and I would love to do the ride too.
  7. Can anyone suggest a good cycling computer that is robust enough to withstand the extreme conditions associated with the Freedom Challenge. Features like heart rate, altimeter and temperature would also be good.
  8. Have used both. Pretty much 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. Did find that eggbeaters cleared mud slightly better though.
  9. Pretty easy to service. There is a tutorial on Crank Bros website that shows you step by step.
  10. My bike was set up by LBS. I suffered with chronic ITB. Did the whole medical/physio route. Got Arran Brown's name off the Hub and went to him as a last resort before surgery. He made minor adjustments to my setup and I have never had a problem again. It was the best R350 I have spent on my bike. He is totally professional and I would not hesitate to recomend him.
  11. Did the 3 Towers at Mankele on the weekend and down a rocky descent I lost a break pad. Eish no brake. Have Juicy 5 s. I think that the pads are held in magnetically. Is this a regular occurence? Can it be prevented? Any help would be appreciated.
  12. Can anyone tell me if these rims can be converted to tubless sucesfully? If so, using which system. Many thanks.
  13. I bought the Oregon ATC 5K essentially for padling. It comes with a helmet mount. I have been very happy with it. I googled the make and model and found a local supplier around the corner.(GP) If you do not find one in your area give me a shout. (paid in the region of R3K for it)Dusty2009-07-11 05:38:20

    Topping up has worked for me.
  15. Have same rims and have just fitted Specialized Captains 2.0 and only broke one tyre lever! Captains do not have same rolling efficiency as TTs, but worth a look at.
  16. Methiolate and scrubbing brush does the trick
  17. You can't get a rebuild kit for Smarties. Only for Candy's and above. Just been through the process.
