Does anyone know who might stock these. I'm in the Midrand area.

I'm really hope they help solve my braking issues. My hands are taking strain and I get really nervous going downhill because of it. I can barely get two of my fingers (index and middle) on the levers to brake.

Coming down that Krugersdorp hill I was finished - nerves completely shot

Thanks

Anybody have some experience how to remove this as normal soap or handy andy does not work. The residue became quite hard from the temperature I think.

I'm new to Presta valves and am struggling to get the valve out in order to slime up the tube. (One step at a time, tubless will follow...)

How the flip do I get the vavle out? I tried a long-nose pliers but it felt like I was going to strip the valve and ruin the tube.

Any Operating Experience?]]> Mon, 06 Sep 2010 11:26:51 +0000 http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/82023-presta-vavles/ http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/82018-converting-a-cannondale-lefty-to-fit-a-standard-shock/
I want to convert my Cannondale Tuarine so that I can fit a standard Fox Shock on my Taurine.
Does anybody know where I can get the conversion kit from to do this.

Tried my best, but just could not do it. (Ok, I know I'm a bit "slow", but help me in anycase) ]]> Mon, 06 Sep 2010 05:59:23 +0000 http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/81960-polar-files-upload/ http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/81954-vitality-points-polar-while-using-garmin/
I have registered on the polar website and added my Discovery details as partner.

Now, how do I get to upload my workouts into this site?

When using SportTracks there is a plugin that can be used to convert the garmin (.tcx or .gpx or .fit) files to polar (.hrm) files.

Polar seems to use Weblink or WebSync to upload files to the website. But in neither of these programs I can find a way to point the program to a location where my files are stored... like a browse button. These programs are looking for the polar devices, which I don't have.

Is there another program that must be used like the Training Centre sofware for Garmin.
Must be a sclep using Infra Red with these devices anyway...]]> Mon, 06 Sep 2010 05:33:27 +0000 http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/81954-vitality-points-polar-while-using-garmin/ http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/81952-industry-9-wheels/
I'm hoping someone has an idea as to where I can find some Industry 9 specific sopkes. I have an Industry 9 Ultralite 26" wheelset in red, and over the weekend pulled the chain over the cluster and stuffed up at least three of the drive side spokes. I've been to my LBS (Broadacres) and Linden cycles as well as Mike's bikes and nobody could help just yet...

In the mean time, I've sent mail to Industry 9 themselves hoping to get some information.

Any help would be appreciated in the mean time.

I'm just wondering if there isn't such a thing as a set-forward seatpost..?? I'm converting my old road frame to a TT bike and need the saddle quite alot forward..

Do you have to get a smaller frame or can I turn a set-back seatpost the other way around to make it set-forward..??]]> Sun, 05 Sep 2010 17:38:04 +0000 http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/81933-set-back-seatposts/ http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/81932-set-back-seatposts/
