  1. I have a solution for the e-bikes. Get them to start just after the pro-ladies in Fishoek. Then they can give it hammer and tongs amongst themselves and not run out of battery.
  2. Weather wise one of the best - and I have done many. Least amount of agro ever like none - unheard of. But oh man it was so quiet - no chirping or badgering just silence And not a single incident. (ok so one guy just fell over in the corner just after Miller's Point - he just fell over ???)
  3. Which hub did you join - clearly not the one I joined or this one ??? Strong words up above - seriously ???
  4. Why do you ask ??? Have never come across it.
  5. Sad thing is that bikehub is a far cry from what it used to be. That is a fact not an opinion.
  6. The one that fits properly. Do not get sucked in by the notion that expensive must be better. Make sure it is approved not sure of the standard acronym. 2nd hand can be dicey but some good deals.
  7. Was it not Johan Bornman who said that if it is not oil then it is not lube ???
  8. Just be aware of copyright etc.
  9. Welcome to LeHub Simba Chippy You won't last 125 days ????
  10. Welcome to LeHub You say "The small amount of research I did suggests that this is not recommended but I cannot think of a reason why it would not work." If it is not recommended then maybe consider the fact that it is not recommended.
  11. The French are just going downhill !!!
  12. Nivarna !!! Allas - but a dream.
  13. You might consider that the chain may come off the ring occasionally (old chain new ring)
  14. Just a by the way - why did you not take it back to the 1st bike shop ??? Another by the way - you could probably ride it as is for a long while if you service it yourself. Not difficult and you do not need any expensive tools. This way you also get to know your bike a bit better. You could find that you enjoy it too.
  15. Just nah !! That's not why he bought the bike.
  16. Give Melkbos Cycles a call
  17. So how many segments have you smashed and how often do you go and do this ??? How many KOM's are yours ??? ????
  18. What worries me too is the bare aluminium where it seems to have been ground and also to top of the picture shows different paint layers. Has the frame been repainted ??
  19. For the 1st month just go out there and enjoy yourself. After that do the same. The rest will come.
  20. You want as perfect a fit as possible and any discrepancy would allow for movement which would cause wear (and tear). What materials the parts are made would determine the rate of wear and the forces they can withstand. The clamping action spreads out better with a good fit so the forces are not concentrated on the edge of the clamp. (Struggling to find the right words )
  21. Don't do this !!! (Sorry kk6gan)
  22. This ^^^ I would say that it is a manufacturing defect.
  23. Now this is the path I would like to see opened up for cyclists but I don't see it ever happening. I think this is City land managed by TMNP. Would the Table Mountain bikers have a contact or know someone??
  24. Would be great to create a new track from Disa River Rd to Longkloof Rd hugging the fenceline. Plenty of space but it would take some work. It would be amazing. It would keep us away from the edge of the road.
  25. Precisely - it seems as if they were all written by the same person
