Fair enough. Just wasn't sure. Thanks

Am I going crazy, but was quoted R750 just to pack and box a bike. That's excluding the courier.

Thanks for this, will get a quote today from them

Crazy, 20 years, I've been on Bikehub for 16 of those. I must say, not much work was done during those first 5 years 🤣 Not been riding for 5 years now, all that is about to change. I'm so excited. Always been Caerus from day 1, I use the same alias everywhere (if its available)

Is this just a service that Cyclelab offer or do most bike shops oblige at a cost of course. Need to get a bike from Wolmaransstad, North West to Cape Town. How long should that take? Any any idea of the 2026 costs?

I haven't thankfully got to that stage while bodyboarding yet where I would need contacts. I can understand it while riding though, way too many hazards.

I'm short sighted, so thats fine. I do wear multifocals though. So would probably just get single vision contact lenses. Ive got single vision day 2 day sunglasses.

That's the one thing I also had an issue with: getting the contacts onto my eyeball. I didn't think about the sweat part, is that a common problem do you think for people.

So an update, what I've found so far. Most shops or opticians that Ive been too so far, just dont have a great range of stock to try on. However, I think I may explore the contact lens route, as it seems the most economical route🤔 Just need to be able to get the lenses in my eyes first. That was an issue I had 25 years ago and why I only wear glasses. The search continues.

I think this may be a route I need to explore.

Yeah, Ive got prescription sunglasses and they aren't cheap, but those are for normal out and about wear. Those cost me R5k I've looked at a few options, but obviously, its the cost thats crazy, especially for the wrap around glasses.

Good Day All, They say, with age, comes wisdom, unfortunately, also dwindling eyesight. Need some advise and suggestions for prescription glasses for riding. What suggestions and what to avoid? Thanks.

Shew, some old time Hubbers on here still. Sad news about Tumbleweed. I'm soon to be back in the saddle after a long hiatus.

@Madmarc - Thats kind of what I was looking at doing. Looking for around R5-6k, the parts are where the value is, I think, and it seems, the bike would make a decent gravel bike.

As much as the idea sounds great and very appealing. Right now, I unfortunately have to sell.

My bad, I have edited the pots. It is a Large, Full carbon.

Good Morning All, It's been a while since I have last posted anything on Bikehub. Since Covid, life has not been the same for me, I'm unfortunately a long Covid sufferer, and cycling has had to take a major back seat, and I have been out of the scene for almost 4 years now. I pulled out my old 26" Giant XTR Hardtail Full Carbon ( Large) from storage, it was going to be converted to a 650B/ 27.5" bike, unfortunately, the funds seriously dried up, and I have other priorities. My question is this, is there still a market even for 26" bikes, what would it be worth, if any? Should I sell it as is, or break it up into parts? I just have no idea of the value of any more of the parts, or where to even begin. Everything has been well maintained and looked after, I have attached the bike as it currently is. I also have pics of all the parts if I were to break it up. All suggestions and comments are welcome, please. Thanks, Caerus

Unbelievable that this chat is still going. Big ups to TNT

I must say, I have just had a pleasant experience with the selling of my bike, had a few enquiries, some no responses after initial enquiry, then bosh, a guy got in touch this morning and the deal was done this evening. I hope he has many happy pleasant miles and endless trails on hios new bike.

Still the greatest thread on The Hub, and he is back.....

I'm back
