Quick 3kg lost this morning Hate to be a downer, but that tyre looks like it's on backwards.....

CAAD4 Posted April 9, 2017 Share They are bullet proof. Now do that nice Italian frame some justice and slowly get the rest of the Italian groupset.... WP_20170407_08_38_09_Rich.jpg A set of Campagnolo Khamsin Assymetrics for my trusty old Fondriest. Really nice quiet wheelset that just seems to roll forever (even though they're the real cheap Campagnolo wheels) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRC might suck some of my cash soon, the 105 cassette and chain rings are about 60% worn out now, so timing is getting better by the ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipV Posted April 9, 2017 Share What is it, where and how muchhttps://www.giant-bicycles.com/za/control-tankIt's a tubeless inflator. You pump it up to 100psi, you plug it in on your wheel, open the valve, and hear a very satisfying double pop as your ture seats with no drama.I got mine at William's Bike shop for 750zars.

(to load the tank obviously) and for 26-PSI/1.8 BAR, its not really fine enough at the lower end of the gauge.Spent the day stripping and remounting tubeless just cause it was so much fun. And it travels nice too.....Duct-taped Coke bottle with its frustrating valves and pipes in the bin! DJR and PhilipV 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lekker for travelling as well.I was looking at the Trek pump combo as well, but I have a lekker pump already. I may have double checked sealant levels in a bunch of wheels that I knew for a fact had enough sealant. Because: psssst-Pop-aaaahh. capediver and Hairy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanD Posted April 10, 2017 Share My skate shoes have been showing signs of wear underneath from the pins of the pedals for a while and decided a new pair is in order. After getting the wrong size (same shoes for sale in the classifieds, bargain price ) , I ordered the right size. Hope they as good as everyone says.
