  1. Ok thanks, yeah they don't really reply to emails and when i called it was mostly come and we'll check . and they close at 4.....but will make a plan to get to them.
  2. What do you guys recommend? I see those Karoorack racks are very expensive. I just need something for my carbon road bike, however sometimes i might need to carry my road+ebike mtb
  3. Hi everyone....bump. This is a little confusing, I have been getting quotes for R4000+ Is this the price to extend my towbar a few centimeters? or can someone refer me to a simpler solution?
  4. Can I maybe get something like this in south africa? This is my the back of my car looks like by the way.
  5. Which Thule if you don't mind me asking.
  6. By the way, are there any racks that might work without extenders or sacrifice a bike space? Thinking maybe i don't even need those. I wonder if any shops will allow me to test the different racks.
  7. This is becoming very expressive....I tried to get a quote for a towbar extender and this is what was sent to me? SP140 Xramp 140Mm Tow Ball Spacer N/A N/A 0.00 607.83 1 699.00 9530097 Flange Tow Ball 2 Hole Heavy Duty - Black N/A N/A 0.00 346.96 1 399.00 XKIT Xramp Gooseneck Tow Ball Adapter N/A N/A 0.00 2 607.83 1 2 999.00 Total about R4100 (and thats without a rack,,,,) So now i am thinking Buzzrack BuzzRacer 3 for R6500 , this shoulld allow me to carry 2 bikes. I also called autobar as suggested on top but they estimated it at R850 but they said they need to check...i'll be very annoyed if i get there and they tell me R4000+
  8. bump....thinking about the BuzzRack BuzzyBee 2 . It'll be mostly 1 bike (road,or mtb) but sometimes my dad will join me with his ebike. I think it should be fine, just not sure it i'll need an extender . I can see it kinda tilt also, would be interesting to know if i can still open the sideways door.
  9. Ok thanks, I am only looking at the official jatour carrier , it looks like it can handle a bike or 2.
  10. Awesome, did you get the jetour experience? I am also still waiting to see if i can get specific mount for the spare wheel. Can I still get a volvo carrier for cheaper?
  11. which one did you get?
  12. Hi, So i finally got myself a bigger car, with a towbar and I am looking for a new carrier. I have 3 racks that i'll put on the market as i now need a towbar rack (if anyone want to swap,please let me know). I am not sure if anyone have or familiar with the Jetour T2 , it's a 4x4 with a towbar, 4x4 tire on the back and the boot door open side-wise . I believe nothing beats the thule ones?can I still get one from volvo? anyone know where in gauteng i can get it? Also what will work best with my car? It'll be used mostly for my carbon road bike, but i also have an MTB and my dad have an ebike. 2 bikes rack should be fine. thanks.
  13. Bump, can you share a link please? I would also like to find out if something like this will work or not? Thanks.
  14. Any good specials on shoes? I do mostly road cycling but I like the MTB designs, something I can walk/drive with.
  15. Hi, I need to use my Thule bike rack for an upcoming trip, I don't use this rack often and I think I lost the "clips" that will attach to the car. Please see attached photo. Any idea where I can get those? Thanks
  16. Bump....going to suncity on the 22nd. I would like to do a few rides, prep for the 94.7 , and was thinking to bring my road bike. However the MTB trails also look like fun, how are the MTB trails ,very technical? Been a while since I did a technical route.....
  17. I guess it could fit, thanks
  18. Ideally something for the front (not sure what can fit) for my light/computer and GoPro
  19. Hi, so I have the giant advance TCR with hydraulic brakes, and I'm looking for a gopro mount recommendations. I attached a pic, as you can see not much room at the front, I 3d printed something that I'm too scared to test, and I have the bike light attachment that I can get a Garmin to go pro adaptor. Any thoughts?
  20. So I thought let me check the front tire (it was also replaced) . I put in the pump, and sealant squirted all over the floor.....did they put too much sealant? It was on 5 bars....
  21. Thanks for the reply by the way. I'm stressed enough before the race, and now tire issues
  22. Yeah I don't really have that kind of skill yet... Should I rather leave it on 4bars?
  23. Hi everyone, I recently replaced my tire on the road bike, I took it for a very short ride yesterday , I rode over a drainage usually not a big issue but I started hearing air coming out. Tubeless did it's job I pumped it up a bit and continued. Today I tried to pump it a bit more and sealant and air came out! but the hole got sealed again, I can't seem to get it pumped over 4 bars. I took it for a quick ride and it seens ok but I need the tire harder. what is happening? Did the people who installed my tire did a *** job ? is it best to put in a tube for the race tomorrow? I must say I have this bike for 5 years and I never had to deal with flats or anything tires related,.
  24. thanks for the explanation. I usually , not just for my bike, compare a few quotes before deciding.... As per ChrisF, if it is R750 lever+hose+caliper from Shimano, I would expect a R1500 to be a fair price....
