Both Copperhead and Dirtypot are right. 3mm offset for a boost bike but be sure to check if your chain is long enough to accommodate the bigger chainring

My personal opinion is to go for either the Scott or the Giant. Giant: Better suspension, Carbon Wheels Scott: 3 point remote lockout, we know the frame is good thanks to Nino. I’ve got the Anthem, my brother has the Scott and we’re both very happy. Happy choosing

When I stop at a coffee shop on a road ride, it gives me piece of mind to loosen the front skewer on my road bike. That way if someone tries to move the bike, the front wheel will fall out and most times they won't know how to put it back before someone notices something is up.

Thanks for the advice, you've made some very good points in saying it wouldn't be feasible for the lower priced items and that I might get sent on a wild goose chase to no avail. For the lower priced items, I think it would only be feasible if the item for sale in Cape Town was significantly cheaper than it would be in your respective city. With regards to running around to know avail, I think there is always a chance of being scammed so I'd rather the outcome be me going to a Postnet and no one shows up as apposed to someone being scammed out of thousands of rand. Hopefully enough other people use the service to cover the costs of if this does indeed happen.

Hi all, So I had an idea and I just wanted to run it by my fellow Hubbers to see your thoughts. Here it goes I am quite active on the marketplace, looking for nice little upgrades for my bike as well as selling off any items I don't use anymore. I've noticed that I tend to look for more local listings as the whole process of the sale is easier and the chance of getting scammed goes down significantly. I know that the Hub is a lot safer than other online sites with a rating system in place but there is always that element of doubt with unrated sellers, especially with a sport as expensive as cycling So I thought, there must be some sort of service that can protect us in the case of an inter-provincial sale.. Turns out there isn't much. I have heard of a "vault" on Gumtree that holds the money while the product is being shipped, but to my knowledge there isn't something like this on the Hub. Anyway so considering I am still a student and that my riding doesn't take up all my free time, I figured why not do the run around for people wanting to buy cycling related products in Cape Town. I would essentially meet up with the seller, check that the product is as described in the listing, accompany them to the postal service and just make sure that the item is posted to the buyer. I tend to get overexcited with new projects so I have already uploaded an advert in classifieds under - "entries and services" - "other". The fee would be mostly for petrol with a little bit added to help maintain my cheeky "I think my bike deserves an upgrade" lifestyle Let me know your thoughts or if you have any advice. Thanks a million

I have to jump in on this as well, Giant durbanville really has got a good thing going! They recently helped me with a bike sale, looking my bike over and sending it off to a lady in Bloemfontein. Big ups to Leon and his team.

RIP and strongs to the families
