  1. F_R_A_I_L was sounding kind of bleak recently & he hasn't posted in a while... anyone heard from him?
  2. Didn't anyone tell this olffie1 oke that he can't just tune okes here until he has at least 500 posts???
  3. I have been thinking the head tube angle & possible stresses could be an issue...
  4. I have a spare GT Zaskar carbon 26er HT frame. It will take a 650b wheel at the back. Could I put a long travel (140-160mm) 650B fork on the front and use the bike for enduro? Or would I be wasting my time?
  5. Yes- no problem, very safe...(IMO) Only thing to worry about is running out of skill on the blue routes... Other than that- best riding in JHB. Maybe PM NSBB to see if he can guide you on a mid week outing...
  6. There is a guy call Bogus on the Hub that does carbon repair- send it to him and it'll come back brand new. Shouldn't be an expensive repair. I have 2 carbon frames that were repaired and they haven't given me a days problem. Then either sell it ( & disclose the repair), or build up a 2nd bike. Option 2 is always best- you can never have to many bikes!!
  7. Who would you insist on a replacement from?Silverback would surely, and imo rightfully, say the damage was caused by over tightening the front DR. So either the bike shop cause this, or the owner. Not a manufacturing defect. To the OP- I would say that's not cosmetic, so either sell it voetstoots, or get it repaired and build a spare bike...
  8. The support driver is normally a mate or family member... When I did it, the wives were the support drivers and it worked well...
  9. I stared for 2 minutes waiting for it to be a gif... It wasn't. So I stared for another 2 minutes just to be sure ...
  10. I think you'll need to do 20/21 laps to challenge for the solo won nsbb...
  11. Paul who used to work at Pro Cycles in Benoni has now gone on his own. Company is call PG Carbon- based in Benoni. He has repaired two bikes for me- no problems to date...
  12. Great!!! He should do it on his unicycle
  13. NSBB- I will be there so if you need a backup cooler box storage plan- I'll be more than happy to help...

    Some help

    Groupset & wheels would be the decider for me...
  15. Freeway is illegal. I don't know why some cyclists out there think this is an option.

    Easy out

    You work for the SA company that has had one of their products on the moon?
  17. Not always. It is the most popular, but I am in the LED lighting industry and we sell both Constant current and Constant voltage drivers.
  18. l Would it not be Constant Voltage instead of Constant Current...?
  19. You heard them! Bogus or nothing. Thread closed.
