Has anyone heard of or know of a place to respray a bicycle frame in the Durban area. Any recommendations?

Hi Johan Is there any way to back out of this topic without getting hurt?? Before i run away, can you recommend a wheel set for my MTB, good quality that wont flatten my wallet completely? I weigh 98kgs. This considering that Mavic dont cater for anyone over 90kg's.

I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD TO STAY OFF CARBON DUE TO MY WEIGHT (98KG'S). I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE MAVIC REP THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE A MTB WHEELSET THAT COULD CARRY MY WEIGHT! MY LBS FITTED A LITTLE BRASS BUSH BETWEEN MY SPOKES AND THE HUB SO AS TO APPARENTLY PROVIDE A BUFFER AT A CRITICAL STRESS POINT. WAY TOO HIGHER GRADE FOR ME BUT IT WORKED BRILLIANTLY, HAVENT BROKEN A SPOKE IN AGES!

Thanks Guys for the feedback. Hope you are all right!

Can anyone offer opinions regarding the setback a complete 2wk training break might have on my fitness? I have been training hard for Hill2Hill (105km). I have 4 wks left, plan to load some mileage over the next 2 Wks but will be overseas for the 3rd!!!! Not looking to take a top 500 place but would like to enjoy the ride......You think thats possible?
