tombeej Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 Tombeej / Ryanpmb Is the 23rd confirmed? I'm definitely in, but I guess we need to officially confirm by paying our deposits, etc. with Meryl. I'm happy to pay for all three of us and then we can settle later. Ryan, what do I need to do - just send Meryl an email with our dates and intended route?

Dates and intended route are already confirmed with Meryl. I was hanging in for GrantC's confirmation. I'll chat to Meryl today and get finances etc sorted. Monark has offered a vehicle and driver to collect us - we can chip in for fuel. I'll start a group to discuss further.

Shebeen Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Does anyone have advice regarding a simple, robust, wired bike computer that accomodates a 29r wheel circumference (i.e. about 2260mm) ? I bought two Ryder 9 function computers (one to carry as spare) and they can't be programmed for a wheel circumference over 2199mm.......? ThanksYou send an email to omnico and tell them about 29ers being the next big thing. ORYou just put in the size of HALF of the circumference and double the distance it says in your head OR(or just put two magnets on the wheel - which you now have).
dirtrider Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 So I imagine we can expect a nice report from you lot to tell us what that bit looks like now etc ?

johannrissik Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Firstly, I apologise to Ryder. The computer has no way of verifying the setting you make, so if you go back to check your setting, it resets to the default. That had me confused. Big up to Tim Carver who responded to my email query first thing this morning. Good start to the week.

Marnitz Nienaber Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 OK, now it's the turn of the lights... I bought a Surge Batwing, nice light light, nice gentle light for "deurnagdiens" but after 7 hrs on Low (which is a nice intensity for long hours) the light said bye bye. (battery flat)Problem is the suppliers imply that it can do 12 hours on low. 4kers! Advice please comrades First of all you and Lehana aren't allowed to ride at night, that's why you are limited to 7 hours run time, if you still wish to continue I will allow a candle with some salt to spare....... Does anyone have advice regarding a simple, robust, wired bike computer that accomodates a 29r wheel circumference (i.e. about 2260mm) ? I bought two Ryder 9 function computers (one to carry as spare) and they can't be programmed for a wheel circumference over 2199mm.......? Get yourself a 26" I've got no problem to calibrate my cat eye with my 26" MTB

Now computer works a treat and we're head-down on our way to Cape Town. Jinne, Marnitz, why didn't you tell me that sooner? OK and so now, please explain the hows and whys off the XT clutch derailleur. Why does it no longer want to pick up the slack in the "returning" chain? Not mine, Werner's.
