Hi guys thanks for all the help, I have managed to get one here in Durban and will be able to put the new one on. But then would it be a bent derailleur that would cause the chain to keep jumping off the jockey wheel or is there something else that causes that ? My derailleur hanger was bent during this race so I will need to straighten it at the LBS but after that, should that stop the chain jumping ?

Howzit guys im in need of some help here, my bike is currently a 2x10 shimano xt setup. My chain keeps jumping off my jockey wheel even though I’ve replaced the jockey wheels two months ago and the chain has cut through the metal plate of the derailleur. During a race today it happened again and damaged the whole derailleur and hanger, so I’m now in need of a new rear derailleur however at the moment I don’t have the cash to go buy brand new parts. Does anyone have an old 10 speed derailleur lying around after upgrading, if so please let me know and I can organize payment and postage fees. cheers

To be honest I’m no expert on riding glasses and don’t own any Oakley so I can’t really compare the quality, but so far they are working really well. The lenses work well and they have quite a firm and comfy fit. They aren’t polarized I think they just have uv protection up to uv400 if I’m not mistaken. I would recommend them as they are a lot cheaper than all the other crazy prices and I feel for R700 you get exactly what you pay for.

I have sent you a pm

If anyone has an old pair of crank brother cleats, I would highly appreciate it, I want to try a set of eggbeater peddles out but don’t want to pay R500 incase I don’t like them. Will be willing to pay for a secondhand set though.

I ended up buying this Rockbros glasses and so far they are really nice, but damn those glasses do look pretty good as well will definitely get a pair of those next. Thanks for sharing

Thanks I definitely think I’ll give them a try, they seem to have really good reviews all around and it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than other options

What’s the quality like and do they work properly?

Looking to get myself a pair of photochromic glasses for mountain biking. The Oakley ones are wayy to expensive but I also don’t want something cheap and crappy that doesn’t work, I’ve found a decent pair on takealot for R800 and wanted to see what the quality is like, has anyone used these rockbros photochromic glasses before ?

Hi Matt I also just received an email similar to this as a response to my bike that I put up for sale. The exact same message however he was using the name Philip Wrightson and email address wphilip2002@yahoo.com

Hi guys This is still going on, put my bike up for sale a few days ago and this guy contacted me with the exact same story about working on the rigs and wanting to surprise his cousin. He deposited the money use Skrill but then reverses the transactions and gets you to pay for pick up fees. Contacted me on this email address wphilip2002@yahoo.com I didn’t pay anything but just be aware of this story, lucky I decided to search his name and lots of articles came up.
