[Best road bike for 30k budget]

[How to clean carbon matte finish bikes]

if it must be cleaned after every ride, try wet wipes, i use that for my bike after a ride.

[Coffee machine]

Thanks Mark James. The next question will be then, which grinder should i get if go the AeroPress route.

As a trained (in France for 3 years) "flavour/perfume nose", and someone who has done sensory training on coffee, I use an AeroPress. Not sure of the current price in South Africa, but less than R1000, probably around R800. 

 

The quality of the coffee's organoleptic extraction, and sensory profile I get from it is better than anything I have ever done sensory evaluation on (or training). For the same quality level from a machine, I would need to spend R30k+. 

 

Save yourself a buckload of cash, and buy an AeroPress. 

[Coffee machine]

hi guys, i am interested in getting myself a coffee machine similarly to the Breville Barista Express (with grinder). I have tried to read through some of the pages but its overwhelming. What machine would you guys suggest, i have a budget for about R6.5 - R7k, it will be my first machine.

Thought it was just me, and then rerun same items.

Yip, forgot to mention that also.

[Cyclelab / CWC Midday Maddness Sale]

Has anyone been following their daily sales? It happens between 12 and 2pm everyday. I have noticed that most of the items that goes on sale is the exact same price it was before, and after the sale the price remains the same.

[A bike to replace MrNyati's stolen Scott?]

I contacted Crown Cycles in Cape Town. They have a Scott Aspect 950 for R11500 in size small if you are interested.

[Scammed]

i sent you a DM @Cycling Club

 

You can call the bank where he hold his account and say you were scammed, sometimes they put a hold on the account but then you need to log a case at SAPS and provide them with a case number.

[Bike washing...]

I wipe my bike often with a wet wipe, works like a bomb

[Advice needed For Post Bike Sale]

I sat down with my insurance, we looked at new, what I spend and reach a middle ground that both parties agreed to and the premium was based accordingly. Also, every 6 months I go through all my policies and make adjustments as needed. That’s just me though.

I read this article and thought I will post this link here, maybe you should change your insurer.

You really are emotionally invested in this. It is actually not that important to anyone but the buyer, the seller and his agent.

 

 

Ps. And when you have referenced legal or insurance remedies or regulations they have either been irrelevant or just plainly wrong.

 

seems like some sleepless nights too

[Is it just me or do we have a major stock problem?]

yip worldwide issue. I am on an overseas Facebook cycling page, some guys received stock of bikes but said the prices increased by about +-30%

[Am I being unreasonable here?]

its sad though that he is willing to lose potential clients and buyers over a R4k. The cycling community is small, especially in Stellies. All the best RobertWhitehead

Both from "cape town". could it be the same seller? Mmmmmmmmmm

[Advice needed For Post Bike Sale]

what is scary is that you have mentioned this person is a "dealer" which means he has more stuff on sale but you have not named and shamed him / give a honest rating (i am sure that cant damage your case). Another hubber could easily be buying something from him now and also get a raw deal

[Advice needed For Post Bike Sale]

Send specs of bike along with proof of ownership to LBS. Get quote for replacement if lost or irreparable damaged.

Send to insurance and pay premium accordingly.

What am I missing here?

Exactly, im also not sure what I am missing. That's the exact procedure requested from my insurance.
