The Security is not always there.

Take a buddy with you

I was attacked myself, stabbed, Robbed phone and bike etc etc. @ RiverFields in Kempton Park. November 2017. Never been back there. Still Cycling almost every day. FuXK the Spruit, Cycle Somewhere else. The Spruit is not so Lekker Anyway and Neither is RiverFields.

Everything has a design life. I had a case where the bike shop wanted to replace a steel cassette @ 1500 Km, along with fork seals an brake pads. All components were inspected and found to be OK.

It's in the interest of Bicycle Shops to Replace Stuff Early. They Replace Fork Dust Seals and Cassettes Way too Early. The Foam Rings can be Cleaned as per RS Manual. Let the Consumer Beware.

I never ride faster than 30 Km/hr, Pensioner Riding almost every day and on a budget (LOL).

Merida big 9 10 Speed Im running a Rapide 30 Tooth in front and a 11-36 @ the Back. Perfect 4 Me. Every 5000 Km I change the chain and the Rapide 30 Tooth. Cost was less than 1 K for Chainring and Chain.

Huddle Park Does Not Accept Cash for Payment. You Need to pay with a SA Bank Credit or Debit Card.

Like He Said

Too much oil (more than 5 ml) in the Air chamber Reduces travel of your fork. The same applies to too many volume spacers installed. No Oil in the air chamber makes your fork feel Super Woody after riding for some Time. (Can cause Damage as Well)

https://kemptonexpress.co.za/210679/mountain-biker-airlifted-modderfontein-reserve/ It was on Strava Segment Fast Singletrack to Waterfall I think the cyclist rode into a deep rut and wiped out. That segment of track needs some urgent maintenance as it has some of the deepest ruts that I've ever seen. I hope he's OK.

Seems there was a serious accident @ Modders this morning. Any One Know What Happened ?

Those Maxxis Icon tyres with white writing that come with new Meridas and Scotts and other brands are super *** tyres that are only good for hangind up in your garage or selling on the hub. They got no protection whatsoever and a small piece of glass or a baby thorn will puncture them easily. OEM Tyres they are called 60 TPI . (They are not even good for running tubes never mind tubeless). Serious Bike Shops usually throw them out when you buy a new bike. Last year Kyalami Cycle Tech was selling them for 100 bucks each.

They Should, I been there 2 Saturdays in a row and noticed less riders, say compared to last year.

Once you do a repair to a bike frame you cannot ever sell the frame or complete bike without disclosure to the prospective buyer. Something of this value is not worthwhile to fight in court except if the lawyer / (Law Firm) is working for free.

Maybe he struck a deal !

If you have one of these bikes it might be a good idea to check if the BB is correct.

Nice Bikes but Not worth all the hassles.

The Concern is Real. Maintenance is needed.
