    I've bought a new to me (used) bike. I will be selling my old bike. There are 2 things I am considering keeping from my old bike and would like some advice please. Old bike: Stans Arch MK3 alloy wheels - about 10 months old, great condition Old bike: GX rear derailleur - spotless, still basically new - 250km done with this derailleur New bike: Lyne Amp 30 V2 alloy wheels - around a year or so old, good condition New bike: XX1 rear derailleur - has scuffs/scratches, unsure what mileage I'm a 100kg rider, XC and trail mix. Is it worth keeping the newer GX vs older XX1 derailleur considering the unknowns about the XX1 - does it matter? Will there be a discernible difference in performance/shifting? Wheels? I know the Lyne have a good reputation. Haven't had issues with the Stans so far. Can I get some opinions from the more experienced hubbers out there please? Thank you.

    Late today I received a WhatsApp from BikeMarket with an apology for the lack of reply to online enquiry and an offer to send what ever pictures I wanted. Got a lot of pics of the bike, 2 x videos and a voice note. I feel they have redeemed themselves with respect to my original gripe Just wanted to give update to my experience with BM.

    I am thankful for the forums and posts like this. Saw a bike in the classifieds (and linked to Bikemarket website). A few pictures only, all show the bike looking pristine. I use Bikehub direct message and ask for details on damage/scratches. Message ignored despite them having read the message and been online multiple times since I asked. Online chat via their website, same result.

    Thank you, I had no idea where Dylan disappeared to, stoked to find him!

    Picking this thread up again please. Over The Bars used to be my go to, they were literally a few hundred metres from my driveway. They shutdown in December 2019. Current recommendations please? Is Mark trading from somewhere else now? Thanks

    Did you land up getting hold of anyone at Easybike? My 2 emails sent over the period they were closed have gone unanswered.

    You didn't, but by bringing up the ODO specials here, he went to the website and found a special on headphones which he ordered

    Fit went well this morning with Deno. Several adjustments and changes made, looking forward to riding with the improved setup.

    I specifically asked him about MTB, he said yes, so I'll see. The other chap most recommended here (Clayton) has moved to NZ.

    Thanks for this thread, I've made a booking for Thursday with Deno

    I considered them, but ultimately went with the 65t's. https://www.tomsguide.com/us/bose-soundsport-free-vs-jabra-elite-active-65t,review-6310.html

    Mate of mine had an issue with his 65t's, local agents couriered a new pair directly to him

    Cool, no problem. My wife is on a pair for 8 months now, no issue. Older stock apparently. The issue with the stock that is now circulating is they suddenly don't hold a charge. Light shows charged (blue) but the moment they're unplugged from USB they die. Something about bad component on pc board.

    I eventually gave up on the Method Wireless. 3 pairs in as many months. They've got a technical issue with them and will eventually fail according to Skullcandy SA. A recall is being considered the last I heard. I bought the Jabra Elite Active 65t's and never looked back, so comfy I sometimes can't feel them in my ears and sound quality is incredible.

    This. As a relative new comer to the hub and classifieds, I've done 2 transactions so far that went very smoothly. I rated the other party, but nothing in return. My classifieds profile remains like a new born as a result.

    Howzit all, after a 2015-2017 (I think those are the years, mine's the 2016) Spez Epic FSR derailleur hanger please, if anyone has one laying around. According to some online sources, one off a Camber, Levo and Enduro of the same years are the same part. Thanks.

    Their last insta post was 2 days ago saying stay tuned for birthday specials and that's it...

    I had a pleasant registration experience. Longest wait was about 5 minutes in the queue for the goodie bag. Actual race number etc there was no queue. I waited longest in the queue for the tills to pay for some stuff I picked up from Cyclelab, but that's nothing to do with registration. Considering the CL sale, it's probably the largest variety "expo" you're likely to find.

    Which brick and mortar stores (Durban) can I find Five Tens to try on etc? Thanks
