  1. You are in the wrong in my opinion, you even admit to possibly righting off the rough feeling to old age, if you had been upfront with the buyer, told him they were rough he could have turned the wheels down, but no, you told him they were running smooth to make a sale.... Those bearings are FUBAR, they are not in "perfect" working condition, if that is what you call "perfect" I would hate know what the bikes you build up for people look like, it is actually just shocking.
  2. No ways am I am cyclibg in boardshorts again, at least not any of the ones I have, they become EXTREMELY slippery when paired with bib shorts, was slipping and sliding all over the place, duh duh duh, was a horrible ride that....
  3. So I think the bridge of my nose must just be abnormally large or something, Sutro, Sutro Lite, Jawbreaker, Flight Jacket, Radar EV, I can see below the frame on all of them, kinda sucks, the Jawbreaker and the Radar EV are the best though, Jawbreaker just feels cumbersome though, maybe I must just deal with stuff flying into my eyes 🥲
  4. Pretty sure that even some Ebikers on the hub have been passed by a hobbit on a bmx at some point, imagine the trauma they must be feeling
  5. So you wont be retiring then? Ebikes - 1 Retirement - 0 🤣
  6. Fixed that for you...
  7. Think he means 35mm long with a 35mm bar clamp diameter
  8. This was helpful, thank you 👍
  9. The "total capacity" and how it works to affect things, I know GS is a short cage and SGS is long cage, but what does that do, because both have the same maximum and minimum for the rear cassette, and both can have a 22T difference on the front chainring, so how does that total capacity change?
  10. Can someone please explain to me how this chart works?
  11. I suppose it depends on how you set the pins up as well, I made the pins on the outside of the pedal stick out 2mm more than the inner puns on the stamps The OneUp actually have a convex shape, but they feel good and grip well, so I just ride them...
  12. Have Crankbrothers Stamp 2 large on one bike, and OneUp composites on the other bike
  13. Fit the same, I had EU44 510 and got EU44 Leatt, just keep in mind the laces on the Leatt, they have ZERO stretch, so once the are done up, they are done up, you actually have to have them quite loose when you first put them on, otherwise you will get sore feet....
  14. But none of those are childrens bikes???
  15. I have the Leatt 3.0, coming from 510 FreeRider Pro, the sole is a lot stiffer, they are really nice shoes
  16. Doesnt sound like @droo will be thanking you though 😂🤣
  17. Next question, the 100% glasses look good, but where can I go to try some on? Preferably JHB East Rand....
  18. Glasses falling off has never been a problem, and I cant ride with goggles either, they block my nose and I just hate the way they feel as well
  19. Does not necessarily mean much, a guy I know bought a bike off the hub recently, seller took the bike to a shop to get checked out before selling, shop gave it the all clear, when the buyer recieved the bike he did one ride, got home, cleaned the bike and found a crack in the frame, went back to look at pictures the seller used and saw the crack was there in the sellers photos as well, fortunately the bike shop is honoring the warranty, but still, has to wait a couple weeks for a new frame.....
  20. I would like to try get a pair of riding glasses, getting a little tired of stones and dust going in my eyes, my problem is, I have tried a handful of glasses, but the lenses never really seem to be big enough, so either I see bellow the bottom of the frames or over the top, which in turn messes around with my depth perception and makes me feel rather ill, can anyone recommend a pair that may help overcome this? As a reference, a friend let me try his Oakley Flight Jackets, but those didnt work for me....
  21. Riding his backyard flowline and seeing his snakes, no no, not that one, sounds like a plan
  22. Have not been on the recieving end, but I dod sell a bike last year that had a cracked wheel, I didnt know it was cracked, the buyer informed me, sent me pics, I sent them to the wheel manufacturer, they sent a warranty replacement which I then forwarded to the buyer and payed for the wheel rebuild... I think that is was the right way to handle it...
  23. I am super jealous of you guys that see snakes on trails, I love seeing them, but I NEVER see them on walks or rides, and all you okes who dont want to see them, see them 😒 very miffed....
  24. I also have the Rapide Gravel bars, the 460mm wide one, I manage to get to the brakes quite nicely, it looks a little strange, but they work well, but I dont have much to compare it to as far as drop bars go
