You can take a medium or you could get away with a large

So basically the slowest gear of a 2x9 will be between the 2nd and 3rd slowest gears of a 3x9 and the fastest 2x9 gear will be between the fastest and 2nd fastest 3x9 gear

I'm running 29-42 with a 11-34 casette. If you're not riding lots of steep long hills then you can get away with 11-32 Check out the chart below. The one colour give all the gears for 22-32-44 and 11-32 casette and the other the gears for 29-42 and 11-34 casette.

I thought your pedals looked out of place. Why not some eggbeaters. Then it would be 9.4kg

No, everything stays the same if you get a double crankset. You only change the limit screws on the fd.

Was a size 20 spanner, but I can't come up with a witty name right now.

Just a thread with some homemade tools for emergencies. Last saterday afternoon I needed to replace my casette before the Sunday race. So here's my chainwhip stewie9112010-06-01 10:43:21

So here's the results. The whole inner lining is loose. The top picture is of the tyre turned inside outstewie9112010-06-01 10:36:44

I've also wondered. Maybe some bikes are better balanced that others

Easy Mampara. Proper lube - What you prefer. Ask your bikeshop to recommend one. (What I like about a wax based dry lube is that you can touch them and your hands won't be all black.) - Shouldn't have said that

Nice Tarmac. That looks like aerozine cranks. Which ones are you using and how big is the rings for the 29er

Use whatever you like. Sunlight/diesel/clean green The more important part is to properly lube afterworths

I opened it yesterday and parts of the inner layer has come lose. Will post pics tomorrow night. I doubt a bottom-out happened, as I run my tyres at 2.5bar and I weigh around 69kg.

sign up for the isuzu 3 towers. Heard it's good. I'm doing it this year

Well done. I set up my gears according to sram guide that comes with it and it is always silky smooth. I don't even take it for a testdrive afterworths. Bikeshops is suppose to do this, but they don't always get it right.

R330 vat inc from crc Locally I think they cost around R550. For me crc is better. I mean, what's the chances of a defect tyre anyways. And we go through a few tyres a year.

Will have a look at OKO. Now, the question is what do I do with my front tyre? Throw out the stans and use OKO or throw out the tyre. I don't want that happening during a race or ride

So, it's a throw away? And I can't blame anyone but myself

I quickly went back to the bike and the tyre has a bigger twist and has a bump towards the outside. I deflated it to about 1bar, because I'm afraid it will burst.

NOt exhaust or photoshop. Tyre was just fine 2 days ago and I didn't touch the bike from then

Don't know - Tyre seemed to have same pressure as sunday. How do I fix it. I did unflate it and it seemed fine, but when I inflated again, it got back to this.

Also heard that, but I thought stans was the one without amonia, which is obviously wrong, cause I checked 1 min ago.

Delamination is my fear yes. Only time will tell.

Tyre still has plenty of life left. Will open it up when I have time, to see what goes on on the inside. Luckily I have a mountain king to put on.
