  1. Mark tyre and position on ground...push bike till wheel goes through one full revolution and mark ground where mark on tyre reaches the ground again. Measure the distance between the two marks. Remember to put some weight on the wheel to deform same as riding. Remember even a millimeter is going to make a BIG difference in the final output !!
  2. Tygerberg Mountain Bike club involved ? Me thinks so !!
  3. Mine set at 2085......... you might have to reduce slightly as I'm running 2.2 GEAX which are pretty big and fat ! Check even ere tyre pressure is going to make a difference !
  4. Nuthin' to do with the rim diameter..............its the outer measurement of the tyre! Easy to measure radius or circumference.
  5. Just pulled this off FB......... The World Naked Naked Bike Ride is a global event, and Cape Town is about to experience it's first! Please join us to make a statement... Saturday, March 12 ยท 10:00am - 2:00pm A peaceful, imaginative and fun protest against oil dependency and car culture. A celebration of the bicycle and also a celebration of the power and individuality of the human body. A symbol of the vulnerability of the cyclist in traffic. The world's biggest naked protest: 50+ cities and thousands of riders participate worldwide. Cycle Route: Start at Prestwich Memorial <http://www.truthcoffee.com/find-us/> Cycle down fan walk towards Green Point Stadium, loop and back into Waterkant Street. Turn Right into Long Street then, Turn Right into Buiten Street (corner Lola's) and then, Turn Right into Loop Street, then Turn Left into Wale Street, and finally Right into Bree Left into Waterkant
  6. Toll gates along the route...........the income can be used to keep the thorns at bay !
  7. Tonsil could be the problem. When they go gaga they can poison the system. Get the things removed.
  8. HD GoPro !
  9. Slime bro, slime !
  10. Size of the hole in the rim.............Schrader valve with the larger hole weakens the rim more than a smaller hole would. But then again the lower spec rims have a larger hole for the Schrader and a plastic grommet inserted for the Presta, so the rim is already weakend no matter what valve you are using.
  11. With a hand pump mate ... we aint got garages ere in de mountains.
  12. and tell me a pomp is a pomp !
  13. Check how you pump the tyre....excesssive movement/strain round the valve area while pumpin'
  14. All on the wrong side of a public road !
  15. Just remove the damm thing..............then you can ride again within 12 hrs !!
  16. Richwood area ? I use tt area and down along the power line for training dogs for tracking and searchwork. Unfortunately a bit to close to DeNuun....be careful !
  17. Those security guys at the entrances to the harbour can get difficult at times ( tks to the Yanks !) In theory one needs a permit to go in/through.
  18. JIK =Active agent Sodium Hypoclorite 3.5 % MILTON= Active agent Sodium Hypoclorite 1% Dilute JIK 1 part to 3 parts water and you have ?the same sterliziing agent as Milton but much cheaper. Add a bit of salt (Sodium Chloride) then you the equivalent of Milton (16.5% sodium chloride).
  19. Remember those plastic BP scooters available from BP garages ? Totallly industructable...........or am I now showing my age !!
