  1. Watch all 3 races live the weekend at this site for free. https://cycling.today/ . Just switch of advertising blocking.
  2. Twin Webers
  3. It is 1981 2 litre GTV.
  4. With a single support leg, with the rotation option, I can also add a tilt option and height adjustment option with adding the tool racks as ChrisF suggest will make it the ultimate work stand.
  5. Thank you for the advice, I like the idea of the pipe concrete in to to floor and then a single support in the centre that fit in to the pipe. It stand permanent at same place, but I will still be able to move it out of way if necessary.
  6. I am going to change te support legs to a flat 6mm steel base plate design that have a slightly v bend in centre to add stiffness and the sides of the support base will then be only 6mm high from the floor. Will all so chamfer the edge so the tripping will then not be an issue.
  7. I have built this prototype work stand to repair and service mountain bikes. I can strip the whole bike to only the frame, when the bike is on the stand, the handlebars can be supported when removing the fork, the fork can be supported when removing the handlebars with the stem to remove the fork. Pedals left or right side can be locked to remove the pedals or to lock the crank arm to toque Sram crank arm bolt. The Bike do not hang on the seat post or swivel around while working on the bike, no clamping to carbon top tube, bike is secure and sturdy, can apply the necessary force to remove screw in BB while bike is on the stand. The stand use two types of base supports for different types of frames, but the base support can be change in a few seconds. The attachment to support the bars, fork and lock pedals is quick to fit or remove and can be adjust. The stand can be fold close or open a few seconds to store.
  8. Shimano also have it problems. it's crazy how those XT hubs are failing. Read: Shimano 1x12 XT Groupset problems?
  9. Bike fit in Sandton cured the knee problem my wife had. So that was money well spend.

  12. Only problem with my ALFA GTV my bike do not fit in it.
  13. It's the design of the rear linkage. VPP, Maestro, 4 Bar, Horst Link, etc. that makes all the difference. Giant Maestro and Merida is a really nice setup http://forums.mtbr.c...kes-808605.html
  14. Picture of worn cassette teeth compare to teeth of new cassette
  15. Shame poor you , Who care what you think did you won a stage on the epic or came in the first 20 of a XC world cup race, if not you opinion is a Zero for us.
  16. http://www.hilux4x4.co.za/alucab/canopy.jpg Build monocoque (structural skin) trailer frame with rectangular tubing to size for 6 or 8 bikes, cover with aluminium sheets, to form luggage space, divide luggage box in 6 or 8 compartments with door for each compartment that can lock on side of trailer, think drop down door will work best, fit bike rack on top of monocoque frame. Each rider have his own luggage compartment.Not necessary to lift lid to get to luggage. Saw bakkie with aluminium canopy using this concept. see http://hilux4x4.co.za/diy-canopy-steel-frame-aluminium-cladding/
  17. After quietly launching 27.5-inch tires last month, Specialized did the same today with their first Stumpjumper FSR Expert Carbon EVO 650B.
  18. I have a Raleigh RC7000 alum frame with Carbon rear stays and full carbon fork in mint condition medium size 51cm. I am 1.71m and a 54 is to big for me. You can have frame with carbon saddle post, handle bars, ritchey carbon seat post, ultegra BB and ultegra front derailer, neat water bottle holders and saddle all in very good condition for R 1600.00. The RC7000 frame can be very close to the RC3000 carbon frame weight wise, for a additional R 2300.00 I will add a Easton Vista wheel set also in very good condition.

  20. Myprodal is a good pain killer that contains ibuprofen Ibuprofen (International Nonproprietary Name) ( or from the nomenclature iso-butyl-propanoic-phenolic acid) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for relief of symptoms of arthritis, fever and and reducing inflamation Cataflam is a Diclofenac (marketed under many brand names, see below: number Trade names) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) taken to reduce inflammation and as an analgesic reducing pain in certain conditions
  21. If you want to ride Argus, it is now to late for any longterm cure take Cataflam and enjoy the Argus. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/89137-cataflam/  Cataflam (diclofenac potassium) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

  22. We checked at LBS and 650B Kenda 2.0 Karma tyre have a higher profile than some 650B 2.1 tyres, we measured and found there is also a difference in width between the difference makes of tyres. All 2.0 is not the same width between the difference makes. Check the profile as there is a big difference between different makes of 650B tyres. We measure the circumference of a 29 tyre, 26 tyre and 650B tyre. The low profile 650B tyre was close to a high profile 26 tyre and the high profile 650B tyre measure about halfway between the high profile 26 tyre and the 29 tyre. So if your frame cannot take the higher profile 650B tyre it is maybe not worth to do the conversion.
