  1. Good day fellow hubbers, I'm looking for a replacement rear triangle on a old Pyga one twenty 650 to help a friend 😊 Please prop me a PM if you can assist. Thanks
  2. I would definitely try Road Cycles in Dykor street, Silverton. They have been around for over 50 years and should be able to assist with everything you need.
  3. Good day folks, I’m looking for a Campagnolo track hub lockring. It’s 1’32”x24 left hand thread. It’s for a old track bike project I’m working on
  4. Hi Guys, I don’t respray bicycles for a living but I do cars. I have helped friends to repair and spray frames and have restored la few frames myself. I’m willing to assist to apply a clearcoat. Here’s an example of a 26er I did for my daughter
  5. Nancia was a French company who manufactured steel frames in the 70’s. On some bicycles they used Vitus tubing which had a date stamp. They usually used simplex groupsets. I have never seen one locally though. Lovely looking bike. The cable guide running on top of the rear stay would date it in the 70’s
  6. I was looking for a new tubby. Cycle Lab had one at a good price online so I decided to buy it and pick it up from my closest store. I received an e-mail to confirm they need to source it from another store and that the turn around is 48 hours. No problem. I've been waiting for a week now. Not a single call from them. All the follow up calls and visit to the shop was from my side. The story is: The sales guy that needed to get the the tubby put an order in the same time as his workshop that needed one for another customer. That tyre is now on another customers wheel and he needs to get stock from the supplier. Not a happy customer at the moment. Online sales 😞
  7. 26” rear qr rim with home trainer tyre, free to collect in Pretoria
  8. Good morning, I’m looking for a cover underneath a 10 speed rhs rear SLX shifter. I’m in Pretoria
  9. Thanks Robert, I will send you a Whatsapp. Allie van Niekerk, I can assist, where are you based?
  10. MTB, unfortunately my road bike axle is 126mm and the trainer has a minimum 130mm width
  11. I’m looking for a 11 speed cassette for my indoor trainer. Not looking for anything fancy. Would be grateful if someone can assist.
  12. Hi Folks, I'm looking for a 12x142 thru axle with a 1mm thread pitch. I made the mistake of buying one with a 1.5mm pitch 🙄 Didn't realize there so many different options. Anyone in the Gauteng area that can assist / trade for one? Thanks
  13. I am happy to report that it all ended well. The parcel was expedited and in the locker by 16:00 yesterday.
  14. Thanks for the input folks. I had an e-mail response from a senior manager at the Courier Guy. His respones is: All corrected and parcel sent out for delivery. Hopefully the story ends well.
  15. I recently bought a groupset off BikeHub and asked the seller to ship this through Pudo. I have done this in the past without any problems. I got an e-mail yesterday evening to notify me that the locker where the goods were supposed to be collected was empty. I queried it with the seller who confirmed that the goods were placed in the locker and he received confirmation that it was deposited. I have queried it with the courier company and awaiting a response. Has anyone else had similar experiences?
  16. Can anyone assist with a remote lockout for a front Fox 32 shock? I’m trying to help a friend.
  17. Hi Folks, I’m looking for the Mavic rear thru axle adapter for my Mavic CrossMax SLR rear wheel. It currently has a quick release.
  18. I have been riding with entry level Rudy project swifty’s and the clip on optical inserts. It works for me and is a lot cheaper then prescription lenses.
  19. Wayne Luyt from L8 bicycles also makes this tool. He’s in Capetown but can ship county wide.
  20. I have a busted 26er Mavic crossmax rear wheel with plenty of usable spokes. Happy to give it to you as a donor
  21. Hi Folks, i'm looking for the nut that fastens on the back of this brake caliper. The photo shows the broken one. It's Campagnolo.
  22. Thank you for the info, much appreciated.
  23. Here is by saddle bag, home made. Big enough to carry a spare tube and tools. Small enough not to be in the way
  24. Is there anyone that can help to identify this steel frame? British BB, Columbus dropouts and a distinctive arrow on the saddle post clamp. No stamps or numbers visible on the frame and lugs. Some speculation to suggest Maestro, a local built frame built by Rodney Andrews?
  25. I had the same problem and used dry ice to freeze / shrink the seatpost. I used an old 2l plastic cool drink bottle and cut it down the middle to get it around the seatpost. Taped it up and chipped pieces of dry ice off and filled it up around the seatpost. The seatpost gets a lot colder than using normal ice and I was lucky enough to free the seatpost
