I think a bit long but thanks. 

Hey, at least you have a long term option if nothing pans out ............ and a cycle from Tokai to Durbanville should just about be "warm up distance" for you on the bicycle

????????  this is all true. Maybe I should go and see the Munga winners come in. Go pitch my tent ⛺  at the finish. That could be a fun weekend. Not bad thinking Sir.

Surely you could apply to work as a "volunteer" and get free camping, and maybe food out of the deal too ....

Hello everyone, 

I have an 4cycle bike rack that is gathering dust in my garage. Unfortunately the car mount disappeared along with my car. 
If anyone can make use rack they are most welcome to it. The rack can hold three bikes.

Cheers

Didn't want to start a completely new thread for this so hope its OK posting here.

I recently bought a used 12sp XTR cassette.  The spacer between the 4th and 3rd last cog did unfortunately not come with it.

Apparently the 12sp XT and SLX cassettes use the same spacer just in a different position.

Also its not the same as the HG (11 spd) spacers since it need to fit on the microspline freehub body and is thinner than the old HG spacers.

Any chance someone have one of these for me?

Ok finally got my old cassette off the bike:

OD:  36.5mm

ID:  33mm

0.9 mm Thick

Can you please check if you maybe have one.  Anyone maybe chucking an old worn out 12 spd cassette, please let me know.

Your best bet is likely new from Lyne.

Howzit, if anybody has either a 26" front wheel with 15mm thru axle, or a thru axle conversion kit for an American Classic hub, please let me know. 

I have American Classic end caps. No idea what they are but will dig around for them tmw and post pics of them .

I am building my sons 24" parts onto a 26" frame. I have donated my super light American Classic wheels and RockShox Reba and I believe his bike will be awesome.

I installed some well used Formula R1 brakes for him some time ago but now the brake lines are too short for the new frame. I can make the rear brake line work for the front brake but need a new(or used) brake line for the rear brake. I only paid R500 for the set of used brakes and cannot imagine paying R700 for a new rear brake line.

 

Anyone have something more affordable available? A used brake line will be fine.
