ChrisF Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Well done gents! I have said it before but TMTB must be an organization with some of the best service and organizing I have ever seen. Picked up my board this week and realized just how spot on they are again. I bought in December, and went to Bloemendal for it. Got to choose our numbers. Ended up with a numbers matching set for Maritz (dependant) and myself. PS - IF you want to remove the board between rides .... SportsmansWarehouse sells "pump straps". VERY handy to use these velcro straps for the boards. BUT, you must ASK for it at the cycling department, the straps are kept in the back of the store .... Hairy, DJR and Andrew_Smith 3

ChrisF Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 R15 each (R30 per bike) hardly worth the effort of getting velcro from the hardware store and trying to make something up myself .... DJR 1

Mopkop Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Chapter2 Tere, Her name is Terry. I didnt have time to take on the road pics as yet but I have been riding her and she is stiff AF!!! Power goes where it needs to. Please forgive the white saddle, I am looking around for a black perch. All in 7.72kgs as on the pics, I need to fit the red cassette still and that should knock about 150g and the possibly lighter pedals Maori artwork on the downtube Just a pity I do not have the fitness to do her any justice Pieterlab1, LOOK695, JanJan and 13 others 16

ChrisF Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) Uhm ja .... not a glamorous purchase ..... Took the cassette off and got a shock to see just how much gunk accumulates inside the gears !! Went out and got the "thin brush" to be able to clean the gears without having to remove the cassette - Edited January 13, 2018 by ChrisF Reme Le Hane, BenReaper, Andrew_Smith and 3 others 6

Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk Gave Maritz's Momsen a service. Me cleaning the chain and gears. Maritz washing his bike ... The "thin brush" really works nicely to clean out the rear gear set ! The "brush" removes most of the grime. I had to use the serrated edge to scrape out a couple of tough items. Small screw driver would certainly do the job, but this tool really makes the job so much easier. PS - made a nice wooden structure to hold the rear wheel at an angle - in order to be able to wash and brush the rear cogg without getting cleaning fluid on the brake disc, and running down the rim. I still clean the brake disc with alchol before putting it back in the bike, dont want chemicals getting onto the brake pads. gazzacpt, seven and BenReaper 3

BenReaper Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Finally found a decent second hand dropper seatpost so cheap I couldn't let it pass.Tried it out for the first time today and although it feels really weird I'm sure once I get use to it it's gonna improve my skills and flow quite a lot.
