Theunissa Posted December 9, 2016 Author Posted December 9, 2016 Jy is braaf om dit op jou mat te doen... Watse maak sealant is dit daai? ek sal dit nie weer op mat doen nie. Ek het bottle om gestamp en moes skoon maak. Fug it. Dit is soos slime. Ek sit so 120ml in. Ek gebruik dit in my jeep se bande ook. Ek het op die oomblik 3 dorings van so 3mm dikte in bande op agter wiel. Geen lek. Diy kos 120 vir 250 ml Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Theunissa Posted December 30, 2016 Author Posted December 30, 2016 I bought myself a bike thinking that it will be cheaper than offroading. But I've come to realize that it is not that much cheaper. Always need something new. Cycling is like driving a jeep. Just empty every pocket. So beware Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You will find that you start buying things you don't really need just because it was on special????.It's an expensive hobby but it's all worth it at the end of the day. To save a little, try service your bike yourself but watch some bids before you jump into it blindly.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIm not technical at all but today while fitting my new saddle, i saw my one side of my flat pedal was loose so ended up taking it apart, cleaning it, re-greasing and putting it back together without loosing a bearing...hahaha...although, it wasn't without incident. The spanner i was using to take the pedal off slipped and hit me on the bridge of my nose giving me a little bit of an eina...lol

ZakAttak Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Bike maintenance done yourself is one of the most rewarding experiencing one can have. It's like a bond being created between man and machine.... I think that was a line out of a movie or or sounded like it.... ????????

And you know everything was done properly, and all the qr's are angled perfectly, and your bar tape is el perfecto
