  1. Does this happen on all gears, or just the top gear? Could be derailleur alignment, check the limit screws and the B-tension screw.
  2. Can somebody please share Luke from Tranny RSA's details with me? Looking for Transition Bike please
  3. With the wet weather we are experiencing at the moment in the Cape, I am having a little trouble with my brake levers. I am running Sram Guide RSC and when my levers get wet from rain or brushing against wet branches, I struggle to hold on, on long decents. I'm scared I might have a miss-hap one of these days when I need it most. I gave it some though and have some ideas, but would love your input: 1. Stick skateboard grip tape on the lever. Only downside it the wear on my gloves or roasting my fingers if bare handed 2. drill holes in the lever like on my dropper lever. Pro: weight saving!, Con: might affect the lever integrity 3. Rough up the surface with a file/grit paper. What are your thoughts on giving a brake?
  4. Yes, the frame is definitely long enough to take the holy rail and one on the seat tube.
  5. Yeah! Got it from an awesome hubber!
  6. Yes, I have actually purchased a moustache style handlebar and was toying with the idea to go a bit more cruiser style, but I like the versatility to put on knobblies and tear up a trail or 2.
  7. Now I know it has street tyres on, but you can easily run a set of knobblies on here too! Really like this setup and had to share
  8. I'll hang onto your car keys whilst you go riding 😉
  9. Finally did the build of the Medium Black Tigre. Looking really nice in my bias opinion.
  10. This is the best unit to use from lyne and is more streamline and looks good on the bike. https://www.on-lynecomponents.com/collections/the-holy-rail/products/holy-rail-triangle-storage-box-kit-quick-draw-multitool
  11. If you see that travel, the chain guide is more for when Im going over the rocky terrain. Same reason I have a slapsock on!
  12. I converted my touring bike into a commuting eBike. Got it from a guy in Melkbosstrand, its a Bafang motor with all the wiring and controllers you need. Only cost me R12,000 for a 1500W motor, controller and Battery. Runs up to 55km/h easily. But is pretty scary at that speed!! Charge for free at work, so costs nothing to run.
  13. So I have built 2 Tigre hardtails and going to re-build a third one on a black frame by the end of the month. I can really say Steel is the way to go! it does absorb the bumps more than your aluminium hardtail frames. and these aggressive geometry frames inspires confidence when going downhill
  14. This is what their website says, so perhaps its just the discounted rate, but very confusing Local board Allows for trail access on: A2Z (Grabouw) / Helderberg Farm / Wine Lands Cycling Club.
