  1. I have just serviced by BB due to a creaking noise. I found that the plastic dust cover on the drive side actually comes out of the BB cup leaving a gap of approx 4mm for dust etc. to get into the bearing. This is the second consecutive BB that suffers from this. As the dust cover also acts as the "spacer" between the axle and bearing, there is play on the axle / bearing interface. The bearing is still OK on this BB, but the previous one failed because of this. I now space the gap between the plastic duct cover and crank to stop it from coming out. Anyone else come across this? Any other BB brands (besides Chris King) that will not do this?

  3. Is there a difference in the travel of a SRAM vs Shimano Road Front derailleur (I'm, aware that the RD is different 1:1 vs 2:1 travel..) Having trouble adjusting the FD so that it does shift up and does not rub when in 1st & 2nd on the inner chain ring... Using Force RD and have a Ultegra FD with SRAM R2C Bar End Shifters ?? Thanks

  7. So the past week I bought the seal service kit for the Reba 29 RL Dual Air. After watching all of the videos from Sramtech on youtube and downloading the manual from Srams website, I then aquired the one or two tools i still needed, went to a Motorbike accessory shop and bought all the relevant weight shock oils and grease. The operation went quite smooth and i actually enjoyed the whole learning experience! The shock operates now like never before! Few things I would recommend: Clean working area!! essential stuff you would need, a Pick to remove the old seals, also learn the technique of squezing a rubber seal to easily remove them. Big syringe with a small rubber tube that couls fit into it and a Baby bottle to measure off your oil. 24 size socket! no 10 tube or long socket with the extension arm (this is for the nut on the bottom of the left stanchion, this sits deep because the arm is longer/deeper on the 29er fork Circlip plyers, dont try to remove the circlipp ring holding the baseplate of the airvalve assembly...trust me i tried! record everything by taking pictures with your cellphone as you go along use only isopropyl alcohol(get from the chemist) for cleaning the inside of the stanchion, normal stuff like acetone/ methyl spririts eats up and corrode the allu/magnesium compound. Once you see how relatively easy it is just to take the uppers apart from the bottom, then a more routine cleaning exercise of the dust wipers is a 15min job if you have all these proper tools. The vast majority of shock malfunction happens here!! My dustwipers were moertoe and very dirty and didnt even have much oil/lube in them!
  8. I bought my Trance on 30-05-2013 and about 250 km later the LBS said my derailleur was bent. Now another 500 km further and they want to replace it because it bent again? I have never over shifted it to hard that they have reason to blame me for the fault. It comes out with SRAM X7 direct mount derailleur. Has anyone got the same problem? Any suggestions?
  9. Will a shimano 10 speed cluster work with a SRam 10 speed shifter and jockey?

  11. I need some help on deciding to upgrade and which ROAD wheels to consider...PLEASE HELP??? ***Or if there is a link to another "fred" on the HUB, please let me know, thanx!! I have a set of Fulcrum Racing 7 (training) and a set of SRAM AL27 (for some training and also races)...I know not the best wheels to choose from...he he he. - looking for something that will work well on the hills and on the decents...a balanced wheelset with good bearings and you don't need to check or true every month or 2... - also something that won't break a spoke every 4 or 5 rides...and easily serviced and replacable (if a spoke does happen to break) I am between 75 and 77kg - dependant on the time of the year...LOL Looking at the following wheels to upgrade to (as the budget is limited ) - numbered as from 1 is my favourite, etc. etc. - weights are claimed (per set) and without skewers and rim tape (as I can find them on the websites) 1. Shimano RS80 C24 - 1527g 2. Fulcrum Racing 5 - 1645g (or a budget stretch "Racing 3" @ 1550g)? 3. Shimano Ultegra (6700) - 1670g or 6800 - 1640g 4. Fulcrum Racing Quattro - 1725g (Aero wheels, but heavy?) 5. Mavic Cosmic Elites - 1770g (Heavy??) 6. Easton EA50 Aero - 1785g (Heavy??) = Not sure of Easton's as a few of my friends have broken spokes every now and then?? Any comments on above wheelset please?? or Any other suggestions to consider please?? or if someone has some Fulcrum Zero's, Zipp 101 or 303 at a ridiculously reduced price???

  13. So after my first big fall a month ago I didn't ride much. Inspected my bike initially and everything seemed fine, however out on a ride in tokai about halfway up my chain started rubbing up against the front derailer, then eventually in was stuck between gears on the front. I thought it might just need to be adjusted, but upon further inspection, i see that the middle ring is warped. So it's a moment al129 with SRAM components, more specifically a SRAM E400 44/32/22T(i have no idea what that means:) Before I take it in for a service and inevitably have to replace it I'd thought I'd ask a few qs about it like roughly how much it costs what other rings are out there, compatibility, and I would probably need to replace the chain too? I'm not into saving weight so no need for me to go crazy on that front, just trying to learn a bit more since this is the first time I'm getting into the nitty gritty of mtb, this is my first proper bike after all.
  14. Desperately need a rear derailleur for SRAM red. Will collect in Pietermaritzburg tonight. Cheers, Rob 0832261301
  15. Hey everyone! I know this is a bit random, but I've been dreaming and drooling for the past two weeks now on building my ultimate dream bike. It started off by thinking how I'd like to upgrade/ change my bike next. Then I started thinking how I could make it lighter and it all kinda went hay-wire from there. For me, this would be my ultimate race bike. It's based on my current frame, but everything else has pretty much been replaced. Components: Fondriest TF 3 1.2 Frameset; Zipp 404 Firecrest Tubular Wheelset; Ritchey Superlogic Logic 2 bars; Ritchey Superlogic C260 stem; Selle San Marco RegalE Carbon FX saddle; Elite Mejio bottle cages; Sram Red 22 Groupset with Quark Crank; Shimano Dura Ace 9000 pedals; Vittoria Corsa Elite Tubbies; Lizardskinz DSP 3.2 bar Tape and a Garmin Edge 810. Estimate Cost will be around R110k. Estimated weight (using claimed manufacturer weights) around 6.1 kgs (without Garmin, with pedals) http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/3665/7d4w.jpg I'm very interested to hear what you guys think of my build and of course what your dream builds are. It can be anything. Road bikes, XC bikes, single speeds etc.

  18. Hi Guys I'm upgrading to a 29er and have been given a price of R17,819 for a NEW specialized Stumpjumper HT Comp 2014. Retail roughly R21,000, from what i can find online The bike is light (roughly 10.7Kg, no pedals - current bike is 14.5Kg) Goupset is mix of Sram X9 & X7 Just wanted to check if this sounds like a good deal & if anybody that has a Stumpjumper, what their reviews are? Also purchasing the specialized 2013 PRO MTB shoes R2300
  19. The right shifter (SRAM FORCE 10 speed) broke off. Can this be repaired? See photo's
  20. Hi guys, I have a mate in the office that is looking to get into cycling on the tar and he has a budget of R7,000 maximum. Any idea what brand/and or make has the best on offer for this low price range. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that the bike is going to be anything but light, but he can get carbon upgrades in the future. Something with a good groupset and bike design. Can be either Sram or Shimano doesn't matter. Any ideas?
  21. Need to replace entire drivetrain on x0 38 24 2x10 - have everything except 24 truvativ chainring , can I use a new shimano xt 24 that I have lying around. In other words this would mean a truvativ 38, shimano 24 chainrings with sram 1090 chain and 1070 casette. Is it worth it to purchase a new 24 truvativ chainring for compatibility ?
  22. The first thing I would like to say is thanks to all who have supported my efforts in getting my blood sugar under control. You all know who you are. My bike Giant Anthem X 29er, Giant wheels and cross something tyres, Fox RP23 Rear Shock, All XT components except for the XTR rear der, brakes G2 cleansweep discs with Sram XX World Cup, Ritchey Carbon Riser bar, A Ritchey 110mm stem Ritchey Carbon layback Seatpost, Specialized saddle (Henge 143mm) and a Rock Shox SID XX 29er tapered 15mm through axle and a Specialized helmet. And before I forget my old weight lifting gloves. So the ride started well. Out the house HR 75 BPM down the road going like a bat out of hell pulled the 185 XX World cup brake on and thought I was going over the bars. Thankfully I did not. First lesson the brakes are good. Started the first climb not big but heart rate now up to 135 little out of breath but doing well. Gear not sounding so good as I tried to push up the hill a friend riding with me told me small front and small back gear selection not good and large front and large back gears crossing over also not a good thing to do. Second lesson dont cross your gears. Ok been out for about 25 min heart rate at 145 and now starting a long climb up to the top of the village. Stopped 3 time on the way up HR 175 out of breath friend riding with me looks like he is falling asleep told him to check the route ahead, cars going past me people laughing but hey I am having a great time. Lesson three the hill is bigger than I thought. Ok so we are at the top of the village and Eugene said were does this dirt track go to? (Should have said I don’t know) I realised then I was in trouble but as us men do I plucked up my remaining testosterone and said my son said it’s a great way back home he used it many a time on the 4 wheeler lets go back home that route. Fourth lesson don’t think with your nuts and don’t listen to your son’s advice. After getting 90% of the way up kill e man jaro Eugene who has by now been up and down about ten times said he went right at the top and once again my nuts started to think for me and out my mouth came the words you should have gone left (oh why did I speak) Lesson five keep my big mouth shut. Right he says lets go. That is where the wheels fell off. I was in the lowest gear and I was told to take it easy so I pushed like hell it was up hill remember, there I popped my first wheelie and the next thing I felt was my head hitting the ground and I remember looking at Eugene who was on the floor laughing. I was ok but my pride had a dent. Lesson six listen to advice. Ok so off we go again finally I reached the top HR 175 and climbing it was about now I remembered the doctors words ringing in my ears do not go above 110 HR and walk as exercise. We are now at the top looking down across a dirt track between the fields and I can see all the these flashing colours in my eyes and my legs are shaking. Lesson seven always take the advice of your doctor. There is a big discussion about the technical route it went something like which way I said thinking with my nuts the steepest and fastest. Oh boy was that a mistake and it’s starting to go dark. Off we go Eugene in front and me catching him at a rate that can only be described as suicidal the bumps are causing me to see double and me thinking these monstrous brakes if I pull them they will send me flying so what do I do as Eugene takes a left turn I call him a sadistic AH and go off I go into the freshly dug sugar cane. I have never been so happy the dirt just brought me to a grinding halt my HR is off the scale plus the sweat is burning my eye so I cannot see. Lesson eight a mixture of lessons four and five. Still only 1/3 of the way down and I am thinking what now walk or cry well let me tell you this is where I moved into top gear, the thought process was at its peak I was again using my nuts as my brain and because I thought my son loved me and he though his route was great and I thought that I should stick with it and the thought of my dear wife who was sitting at home having a beer my mouth got the better of me and well I said lets race to the bottom and off we went. It was clear from the start my 60 minutes experience of mountain biking was all coming together the suspension going downhill was set at hard the hand eye coordination with the brakes was in tune and just because I could not see in the dark hell what could go wrong. I have lost all feeling in my bum Eugene is now at warp 9 I am close on his tail and thinking am I insured enough. It was then I though suspension should be set as soft!!!! Suddenly out the dark I hear Eugene shout watch out its soft!!!! WTF is he going on about I thought then another command ringing out go left WTF !!! is he on about. Out of the darkness I see a wall of thick bush approaching me at speed and Eugene going off to my left so this time no choice I go left. It was about then I though what was he going on about soft!!! This is the same time I saw this sand approaching my head the front wheel slipping gently away. Lucky for me no damage except once again Eugene is on the floor laughing. Lesson nine brakes are good, don’t cross your gears, hills are bigger than you think, don’t think with your nuts and don’t listen to your sons advice, keep my big mouth shut, listen to advice, always take the advice of your doctor, mixture of lesson four and five. So I make it home in one piece and my bike is fantastic had the best hour and a bits worth of enjoyment I have had in a long time. Lesson ten Get yourself a bike All in all a great ride and I will be doing many more. orsum

  25. Right so the frame confusion has been resolved and i know what im getting finally so will be paying for it shortly and it will arrive sparkly and clean as my Xmas present to myself. BUT now the issue is PARTS! What to use. I have the following parts available: Brand new 2012 Shimano Saint 9spd cranks (with no ring so can easily make them 10spd) Brand new 2012 Shimano Saint 9spd shifter and derailleur (not the clutch one) Brand new 2012 Shimano Saint Brakes (the older shape not the new short lever) http://www.sicklines.com/news-images/shimano_saint_m810_grouppo.jpg Brand new 2014 SRAM X0 DH specific clutch derailleur, shifter, chain and cassette http://www.tbsbikeparts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/sram-xo-group-set.jpg Then Used 2011 Truvativ Descendant GXP cranks Used 2013 Shimano XT brakes (the new shape ones) http://www.ridemorebikes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/truvativ-descendant-cranks-clear-taped-skin.jpg http://www.wigglestatic.com/images/shimano-m785-disc-brakes-zoom.jpg So i am now wondering what to put on the new bike Although the Saints are old I like the cranks - but i need to weigh them compared to the Descendants. But the Descendants have done 3 years of work, so maybe the saints are better even though they are old?? Then the 9spd vs 10spd issue - i would like the clutch and the X0 groupset, but the saint feel amazing even though its not a clutch rear mech. Then the brakes? I could just use the Saints even though they are the old shape as i know they work really well, But i currently use the new shape XTs and they are awesome. So either - just use the old shape saints OR Sell the saints (already have an interested party) then buy new saints and transfer the XTs onto my Trail bike??? Hmmmmmm Your guys thoughts??? I am leaning towards X0 Groupset with Saint Cranks and 10spd ring, with new Saint Brakes (if i can get them without having to put in any extra cash)
