  1. So you've been on tubeless for a while now. But resently you cut your tire and had to take out all the sealant and maybe ride with a tube for a while. You got a few punctures and you've had enough. Now you want to get back to tubeless and stop worrying about getting punctures when riding. The cut has been sealed, now it only needs the old tubeless valve and sealant. The question is: What is the best sealant/s on the market that WORK! I have heard op people saying that the best is to mix OKO; Joe's and Stan's sealants together. So if this is the plan of action what is the correct amount of sealant from every bottle or only one brand? What do the pros use?? Altough not all of us are pros, but we also don't want to struggle or lose performance when repairing a puncture alongside some wonderful singletrack in a race.
  2. Hi i'm in South Africa, I will check if my personal info are correct.
  3. JA!! Centurion Cycles bied goeie diens en waarde vir sekere benodighede. Hulle pryse is baie bekostigbaar. Hulle is 'n winkel meer gemik op die familie/ average fietsryer. Maar as jy byvoorbeeld ratte wil instel wat ek te veel MOET doen, is hulle top. Die helfte van die prys as die winkels in die omliggende areas. Ken die bestuurder baie goed. Enige part wat jy benodig, hulle kan dit vir jou bestel. Besoek hulle en laat weet my wat jy dink. Moet nou nie XTR parte by hulle verwag en Full Carbon Cervelo bikes nie, maar hulle voldoen aan my behoeftes.
  4. Is daar 'n effek op jou fiets se ratte sodra jy jou agter wiel af haal? Want as ek my ratte laat instel by 'n winkel en dan daarna gaan oefen en vir watter rede okal die agter wiel moet afhaal, dan begin die ratte of minder sensitief te raak tussen wisselinge of dit spring eenvoudig of loop nie glad op die kasset nie. Wat is die rede hiervoor? Haal ek die agterwiel verkeerd af? Hoe lank behoort 'n ratte-instel jou te hou omdat my ratte nie langer as 'n week korrek wissel en werk nie en dan moet ek weereens geld spandeer om dit weer in te stel voor 'n wedren. Van die winkels het vir my gese dat my XT rear derailer baie sensitief is. Kan dit wel die rede wees vir my ratte gesukkel? Raak rear derailers van tyd tot tyd los vanaf die derailer hanger/ mounting? Ek sal regtig julle raad waardeer, sodat ek 'n beter fietsry ervaring kan he
  5. Dankie mountain lion vir die link.
  6. Hi i'm interested on riding with some of you guys from reds mall. I have not yet been to northen farms and want someone to show me how to get there by bike. I live near reds so i'm in for a group ride. Looking forward to it!
  7. I recently did the tubeless conversion kit for my mountain bike. Last Friday i cut my back wheel on a rock. It is a small cut just less than 1cm. The sealant didn't seal the tire, so 'n used a plug. The plug sealed the small cut allowing me to get home from my training ride. At home the tire got flat, so the plug didn't do its job 100%. I am now using a inner tube just to keep on training etc. Shops told me the tire that got the cut cannot be used anymore. Like every cyclist know, tires are expensive! I am thinking of putting a patch inside the tire. What is the best method on sealing/ closing the cut, so that I can put new sealant in and continue my tubeless without any leaks and not have to buy a new tire?
  8. I currently have a stripped ellen bolt on a FSA carbon pro team issue crankset. What are my options on getting the stripped bolt loose so that I can simply buy a new FSA bolt. Some shops told me the only option is drilling the bolt loose, but i think it is too risky as a new FSA crankset would cost R5500!!! I am feeling some play on the cranks when turning them. I want to get to the BB and fasten the whole chainring and cranks to see if it solves the problem. I would really appreciate any advice. Happy Cycling!
