  1. Try Bridge cycles, they used to have a good collection of mavic spokes. Best to take a sample to them.
  2. Clint built a set of pulse rims for me, can highly recommend him and the Lyne rims are bulletproof.
  3. Yes Thanks, Could unfortunately only afford one though, so only the wife gets the upgrade, 🙃
  4. Anyone have one of these lying around, Cable Adjusting nut from Shimano 105/Ultegra/DuraAce 7000/8000/9000 Road Rim Brakes. I bought a set on the hub and one adjuster was missing.
  5. https://www.easybike.co.za/garmin-forerunner-955-black.html two of these?
  6. Have you tried contacting Melkbos Cycles, Maybe they can help get hold of the seller. Thankfully Carbon can be repaired so if it is a crack then i would image 2-3K to repair it.
  7. Who needs the second water bottle, when they've designed a reservoir in the frame!????
  8. https://www.on-lynecomponents.com/collections/the-holy-rail These work very well
  9. i managed to get a fizik saddle back together using hot water, but also put the rails in the freezer for an hour or so.
  10. i might be wrong but i don't think there is any change in geometry between using a 165x38(95mm) rear shock with the adaptor(extension) or running a 184 x 44 (120mm) other than a small amount more sag. so i would think it could only be better to run the 120mm on the rear.
  11. What year is it? i have a 2014 SID World Cup that i converted to 120mm by changing the air shaft. if it has the graduations for the 120mm travel on the sanctions then you definitely can convert it.
  12. The Max has 130mm of rear travel and uses a 190 x 51 shock with the offset bush. i converted the other way from the Max to a 'MiniMax' by downgrading to a 184 x 44 shock and using a 120mm fork.
  13. Almost forgot the Pic!
  14. Anyone using Eagle 12speed Drivetrain on a Stage frame with the +5. i'm having issues setting up my drivetrain, the chain is a bit noisy in the highest gears, there is some interference with the theeth of the next cog, if i backpedal it gets caught and jumps. i found the info below on the woolftooth website https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/pages/boost-chainline-and-chainrings " If you are running 12 speed, the clearances are so small between chain and cassette that you MUST run a boost spaced chainring with a boost spaced bike. If you don't, the chain will "tick" on the next bigger cog when in the smallest 2-3 cogs on the cassette." Does this mean it would be better to run a boost ring upfront, and put the effective chainline at 47mm (52 less the 5mm offset) this would still be 2mm less than a standard boost setup chanline. The effective chailine is currently at 44mm (49mm less the 5) Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
  15. Any idea of what this Alpina is worth, would like to sell.
  16. I use a Small Bag for my phone Cash etc and A large bag for my spare tube plus tools Made from 26 and 29 tubes. Currently have the following in the Large bag Tube(29er) Super thin. Multi tool Quick Link Chain Breaker Sram torx driver. valve key. Bomb and nozzle spare Valve core. glueless patches Small bottle of lube. The bags fit perfectly into cycling pockets and the rubber grips well so no chance of them falling out. Large bags are R90 and Small R50
  17. Mate of mine had his PYGA stolen in Parow yesterday. PYGA One Ten 29 size large Raw aluminium Wheelset: ZTR flow with Schwalbe Nobby Nics and Red Hope hubs. Drive Train: XO cranks 3 x 10, XO front and rear derailleur, XO gripshift Bars: FSA 750mm , Seat post Rockshox Reverb dropper post with WTB speed saddle Fork: Rockshox Reverb dialled to 120mm Pedals: shimano XT trail.

  18. Anyone have a GPS log of the Citrusdal MTB route? Hoping to go and do some riding there soon.
  19. easy to change, i converted my 9sp mirage to 10sp.
  20. 42mm of rain predicted for sat! damn.

    Karoo to Coast

    I am looking for someone to take our bags up from Knysna to Uniondale on Saturday. We will be cycling up on Saturday.

    They provide a truck that takes bags from the start to Finish in Knysna, Just drop them off in the morning before the start.
  23. Thanks Johan i'll probably rebuild the front with Revos later. @Splat : 731g Front , 824g Rear That includes Tape and Valves. Brass nipples were used.
  24. I have just bought a set of Stans Crests with American Classic Hubs. the bike shop built up the wheels using DT Comp Spokes (2-1.8-2) on the front wheel The rear drive side is also comps with the non drive using Revolution (2-1.5-2) Any comments on this build, i thought that the front wheel would have been built with Revolutions as well? They also mixed DT and Sapim spokes on the front wheel, i assume that these spokes are very similar so i guess it makes very little difference.
  25. Arch EX are now slightly lighter at 450g
