  1. Thank you. Max clearance for 650b on my frame is 50mm. Think I will go 45mm as my rim width is a bit on the narrow side.
  2. How do they measure? 40mm as 40mm? I want to go 50mm on the 650b's but that will be my limit to leave some mud clearance.
  3. I can vouch for @Werner_T though!
  4. Seems like he made a duck...
  5. I suppose if you start a thread questioning a shop you kind of answered the question already.
  6. Chat to @Bertus Greeff, he posted in "Boast about latest purchases" thread about buying from them.
  7. POC Omne Air Spin after splitting my previous helmet in three at Berg & Bush.
  8. No mails yet. Check on the website under start list.
  9. Just got my bib number. Also over the training now. Luckily into taper from today.
  10. I tried getting some tubeless ones from the Rook guys. They couldn't source any. Definitely a bit loose in the mud, but did not struggle on rocky section and steep climbs. Going to give them a go at Race to the Sun. I had a mate bring them back from the US. Paid just under R 1800 for both.
  11. After a very long search and a few wanted ads I decided to get these tyres from the US. So worth the wait!
  12. Two wheels trading might still have some Momsen boxes? Pretty sure they use mounting screws. I have a Specialized rubber one. Send me a PM and we can take it further.
  13. Only issue with it, is that it can't stand upright. Using it for last 3 weeks.
  14. I have the Thule Touring S and took it for a 3 700 km road trip last week without any hassles. 3 soft bags fits easily. K-Way XL, K-Way L and a North Face M. Little to no extra drag and no wind noise. You do feel it when the wind is really pumping and I am sure you will feel it a bit more on a Jimny.
  15. Richard Baxter working out of Dunkeld Cycles.
  16. Log your warranty online. Google BOA Warranty claim. Follow the steps as set out on their website. A few pictures of the shoe etc. Receive the dials about 3 days later. Received warranty replacements last year during hard lockdown. No issues.
  17. Did the bike come with WTB Byway 650 x 47? If so, want to sell them if they are tubeless ready?
  18. Thule state it takes 4.7 tyres. The straps are very long. It helps with the fine tuning of the bikes as you can move the bike left or right on the rack and still tie them down securely. DM me if you want some photo's
  19. Enough space in footbed and very sturdy ratchet straps. I am running 2.3 on my MTB and it slots in with room to spare. It actually have grooves for different size tyres. Road bike will fit in the inner grove and a wider tyre will fit in a wider grove and just on top of the narrow grove. I think Thule markets them as fat bike ready. It is very sturdy at the back of the car. It comes with a adjuster on the ball clamp to get it as tight as possible and can fit different size tow bars. There is no play on the tilt attachments. Once locked in it is locked in!
  20. Yes, as soon as the seat posts are out the way it is a breeze to load.
  21. I also have the 3 bike XT3. Can not fault it one bit and agree with the above. Have fitted 1 x XL and 2 x L mtb's on it without issues. A bit of a 'mik and druk' but it's a lot more spacious than any other thule rack I have seen or used. Wheels to drag it to the car also makes it easy. Will have to check on the tilt and clearance. It does tilt quite far down. **Edit: Spelling**
  22. Purely based on your silence. If the matter is resolved, why is it sub judice? Anyway... Happy hunting.
  23. Seems like a no. Also seems like the marketing budget for the financial year have been spent. No more self marketing happening...
  24. My last batch I sent to him using the Post Net in Oudtshoorn if I remember correctly. He drove to go and fetch it and sent me photos of the helmet being used in the workshop by one of the beneficiaries. Safety first!
