23 minutes ago, Robo said:Maybe been answered but where is Willie Smit riding 2022?
Saw something on Twitter just now about an as yet to be announced Chinese backed conti team, with Willie's name mentioned as one of the riders. (Can't remember the account that posted it)
GCN is showing live, but needs a subscription and VPN to bypass geo-block
Clearly someone who has been around and knows what they doing - saw a warning on a Facebook group for someone of the same name today as well - so not just on here.
Then what exactly is the point of this post?
We don't even know where to look for the missing bike? KZN?
No, an advertiser is selling stolen items, along with a specific bike. Bike does not come up in the stolen bike threads, but was hoping to trace down anyone that may have had such a bike stolen on the presumption if the other stuff is stolen, the bike may be too. But if people start contacting the advertiser, he may catch wind that people are onto him before our wonderful system gets hold of him... hope this makes sense?
Sorry for the vague post, but at this point the police have not acted on the other stolen property, and I don't want to risk the "seller" catching wind as has happened here in the past. hence not yet posting a link.
Is anyone aware of a stolen green Giant Defy advanced - possibly Western Cape area? Currently being advertised along with other stolen goods? I can't see any posts on the forum.
Does the GCN app have the option of Casting to your TV?
OK, just tested and yes casts perfectly

I am open to correction, but think it does. I am using a MiTV android box directly rather and working perfectly!
GCN+ subscription already worth every cent Feed quality has actually been brilliant. I reckon if more Saffers subscribe, they will be able to steal the sole broadcast rights away from DSTV for the big events. Looks like almost everything except Tour, Paris Roubaix and a few stage races will be available for us down south this year.
Anyone know if we we going to be constrained as to what we can see from an SA log in? or will we be able to see the same as UK subscribers?
This is the list of races available locally - looks like Grand Tours, Paris Roubaix and some stage races are highlights only, but it's actually quite a decent list!

For those that seem to have missed it, Specialized seem to have signed World Champ Sarrou! So obviously blew their budget on him...

Other parts in the ad
Ad is not labelled as a System six!!!
DM Me if you recognise this - ad seems very dodgy with incorrect details and lots of loose parts. Seller in Soweto
So, ive googled like made, read tech docs, and cant find a conclusive answer.
I have 11 speed RS505 hydraulic brake shifters on a gravel bike, and its running an 11spd GS cage RD from the factory. Id like to have an MTB RD on there with a longer cage and clutch, to expand my gearing options.
Current gearing is 48-32 front, 11-36 rear, and I'd like to go to at least a 11-40 as a bailout gear for these WC hills... I don't want to change the front gearing, and I'm not interested in 1x.
Anyone know what RD will suit and be compatible?
I think this is what you looking for?

The guys at evobikes would be able to confirm for definite!
Before sending away, try "resetting" the strap by putting in the battery back to front for about 30 sec - sometimes salvages it with very little hassle!

Thanks!
I sent him a message as well - so he now knows people want his stuff!
On Facebook there is a guy named Jack Bruwer that sells a ton of stuff, daily!? Is this maybe one of you? Is he legit? I've never seen anything suspicious, but yoh, he has a lot of stuff.
Once or twice there was something a was interested in, but I'm a bit skeptical to buy over Facebook.
Hallo Jack, are you here? I just need to see your Bikehub profile.
Since he seems to have a ton of postive reviews, sure its safe to post his profile here:

I sold some stuff to Jack the other day - no hassles! And asks fair prices for his stuff. I've never met him, but will drop him a message just to suggest he shows his face here
Sent you a message - I can recreate and make if someone has images / some kind of artwork to work from.
Next in line if anyone has any lying around?
I have a Genesis steel gravel fork to swop if needed.
Me too - Denys wants a Pyga to ride in the Ukraine
Strange, he didn't want the Trance enduro bike, but both the road bikes I had advertised! He seems a little fussy
