  1. I hear you, valid point. At this stage it would be cheaper if someone wants to swop.
  2. I saw that they do have axle kits now but its also an exercise in weighing up the costs. Something like this: https://www.cyclemonkey.com/blog/tech-talk-rohloffs-through-axle-a12-hubs
  3. Hi Guys. Would anyone here consider swopping their 135mm dropouts for the new 142mm dropouts? From what I could find on the web these should be standard Tange/IRD dropous and should be interchangeable. I am seriously considering this frame but I need the 135mm to run the Rohloff.
  4. Hi everyone Found this 3d print and got someone to print it, will see if it works this week. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:155513
  5. Hi Everyone Anyone know of of shop that have these available? I need to do a few pedals.
  6. Hi Guys If anyone as any of the following lying around and not being used I'll really appreciate it. - Sram 9 speed shifters preferably gripshift but anything really - any 9 speed stuff - 26"rimbrake rims Currency available: coffee beans, beer or other bike parts.
  7. Hi Guys Not my own build but something I will be receiving as a gift from family. Solid Minger coffee table. Now for my question: so my first child is on her way in January and I have some concerns as to the edges, any idea what to do? Filling it with a copper billet or glass or something was my first thought.
  8. Last years project. Camping kitchen box. The idea is to load the box on the bakkie / suv. When stopping at your destination your kitchen is set up by just flipping down the lid that doubles as a working space / table. Everything has a place including some water so you can build a coffee in a few minutes. Might change the design slightly if I build a next one but I turned out very useful the last few camping trips.
  9. Seeing this thread I just realized I have a Ragley Luxy Offroad Drop Bar in a bin somewhere, perfect for these builds but never got to the project I wanted to do. Anyone want to take it off my hands? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/ae/en/ragley-luxy-offroad-drop-bar/rp-prod54259
  10. Also try http://www.livetrack24.com/ we use it a lot in the paragliding. Live tracking in google and all. And Its free, you can either download the app to your phone or buy the dedicated tracker. Edit: this app does not have the HR features but is very strong in the tracking field.
  11. Hatfield cycles have stock of 28c's, maybe give the a call as well.
  12. Here is what we did last year, let me know if you are serious (about the kuier part). It will be in the same area but different routes. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/79786-bike-tour-for-dec-holiday/
  13. Ok,this is what me and witkop did last year https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/79786-bike-tour-for-dec-holiday/ It was the first time touring and we learn't a few lessons along the way. -Pack everything you think you need out on your bed, draw a line and take only one side, you can really get along without a lot of the crap you take. -You do not need a dedicated touring bike, any MTB that has pannier mounts is suitable. You can get the racks that mount on the seatpost but they make the centre of gravity of the bike much higher, I wouldn't suggest a full suspension anyway. -Take it slow it's not a race, if you see something nice stop and take a photo, and if the sign say pub you should stop anyway. Other brands that specialise in touring: http://www.thorncycles.co.uk/
  14. I might be interested. What dates are you looking at? Direction or any preliminary ideas ito towns/scenery? I want to get my kit sorted and tested before the Dec holiday.
