I have a bike with the Shimano 9 speed Ultegra ST-6510 STI Flight Deck 2/3 Speed Shifter, so you do get a mechanical shifter that can be used for 2 or 3 chain rings.

See now OP say levers is 105 and and drive train Dura Ace, so he can check if his 105 levers is tripple compatible as most pre 2017 105 levers was tripple compatible he can just fit tripple crank set and his problem is solved.

Shimano Dura-Ace Gear/Brake 10!speed Shifter Set Model: ST7801/ST-7803 can be use with double or triple chainset.

Op can check, I do not know if Dura Ace is same, but most Shimano 105 and Ultegra 10-speed left shifter is designed to work with both double and triple chainrings by adjusting the lower and upper limit screws on the front derailleur. These "dual-use" or "dual-purpose" shifters allow for flexibility in the number of chainrings, so you can use the same shifter for a double or triple crankset without needing a separate, dedicated shifter.

Maybe this, still available new. Shimano Tiagra FC-4703 Tiagra triple chainset 10-speed; 50/39/30; triple; 172.5 mm.

Do not know if the are available in SA Schwalbe Hurricane Performance 29x2.25 BIk

Fast all-around tire for the MTB from Schwalbe. With its fine pattern on the top and larger knobs on the sides, the tire ensures a low rolling resistance on straight roads while also ensuring a good grip in turns and on softer/looser surfaces. This tire is the obvious choice for the rider who wants good speed on the roads and at the same time has the opportunity to turn in the forest or on a dirt road.

Fix it. After 9000km still 100%.

Carbon chainstay? Where did your chainstay break/crack?

Alternative to gels is maple syrup. Sports gels and candies have been a long-favored source of replenishing fuel lost during endurance exercises. But pure maple syrup has the necessary nutrition to be an ideal choice of fuel for endurance athletes.

I bought the bearing press set from Amazone in the UK for £20. I see they now sell the bearing press set for £29 to £53.

I listen to music and also use the Elite Sterzo Smart steerder for Zwift, it is more fun to take the bends as you would, when riding on a race track . I can duck in behind other rider for slip. The feeling on the bike is also more realistic with the steerder.

Will be out in 2 years. In the Uk.this guy got 11 years. Reilly pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving at a hearing at Snaresbrook Crown Court last October. > “It should have been her right to get home safely”: Driver admits causing death of Hackney cyclist The offence now carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment for offences committed after 28 June 2022, with the change introduced under The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act which received Royal Assent on 28 April that year. Previously, the longest jail term that could be handed down was 14 years, but even in the most egregious cases, that full term was rarely, if ever, imposed.

The teflon wear ring is not included in the basic service kit. It is only replaced with a major service.

With all the basic service kits I bought, you only get the aircan seals. That is the thin O ring that seal the top, the quad seal and the seal that press in at the bottom of the aircan. For any major service it have to be send to the professionals. Problem af air leak mostly the lack of a regular basic service and a lack of lubricant on the sides of the aircan that cause the quad seal lips to wear and cause the leak. The bottom seal is only available from the manufactured with the service kit, but is just occasional the problem of the leak. The quad seal and the thin O ring if needed you can get from Bearingman. They are cheap and if a kit is not available by replacing the quad seal it can solve the leak till a kit can be sourced. In the youtube video the guy point out the parts you have to inspect to see if the shock need a major service.

It is most probably only the quad rubbet seal in the aircan that is leakingv air. Remove the aircan rubber seal,if it is a quad seal or O ring take the seal to you local Bearing man dealer, they suppply all the sizes. Will cost you a few Rand to repair the shox, it is very easy. Lots of youtube video’s. Install with Buzzy’s Slick Honey suspension grease or you can also use some Red rubber grease from Midas. You can order the kit from https://www.tradeinn.com/bikeinn/en/sr-suntour-gaskets-oil-kit-for-shock-rs19-edge-lo-r-rl-r-rc/139754103/p?utm_source=google_products&utm_medium=merchant&id_producte=19379920&country=uk&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8Jj039qAgwMVfZSDBx3YvQwFEAQYCiABEgJ1GvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds. They stock most service kits. I now live in the UK and ordered kits for my DT Swiss shox, Fox and Rockshok forks from them. Problem is the courier cost to SA. But in can be less than a new shox and order 2, or more kits.
