Google isn't coming up with any hits as a known scammer, but the Modus Operandi feels similar (he is in America, but wants to buy this bike for his son etc)

Just ignore, scam.

Everything burned down in the jobless/low-income areas. And winter is around the corner it seems(given the weather changes) some people need blankets some need dagga to stay warm.

 

Both cost Mula.

 

They must aquire money to replace the things they aquired before the fire. (Generalizing) 

 

They don't do it by working in anyone's garden because there are just that many gardens to work in.

Overpopulation, lack of job opportunities the way of life

 

Just unfortunate that every now and then someones kid goes for a afternoon ride and never comes home because of these factors. 

 

Any solutions ?

Ek hoor jou. Ek oorweeg maar net alle opsies en gaan nog bietjie kyk. Soek maar net beste waarde vir geld op die ou ent. 

Beste waarde vir geld kom in by after sale service. Nie aanvanklike aankoop nie. N fiets Kan jou 26k kos en klomp issues hê binne 2 maande.

Issues kan op jou geplaas word en nog so extra 12k kos om reg te maak. 

 

Bike is nice maar gaan maar na n local dealer toe wat in jou area gebaseer is en goeie 'local reputation' het.

[GX cassette replacement]

5 hours ago, TPN said:

Hi hubbers,

I am looking for some advice. 
The GX cassette on my MTB needs to be replaced. Apart from fitting another GX cassette, I am considering two other options.

1. Using a SunRace CSMZ91X WT5 10-50T cassette. It uses XD hubs. It's almost half the cost of the GX. I am seeing mixed reviews on this cassette.

2. Replacing the XD hubs with Microspline and using an SLX or XT cassette. This works out simular in price to a GX cassette. In the long run it might be cheaper.

What do you suggest? 

Just go with sram, had a few clients at the Epic with mixed up Shimano and sram parts, the pickups get worn off on odd shifts.

 

Would suggest just bite the bullet, you won't be disappointed !

Jokes aside, there have been a few horror stories of people being impaled by their own or someone elses handlebars. One guy chopped the end of his pinkie finger off when he caught it between a plugless bar end and a rock.

I'd put some plugs in. Just to be sure 😉

[Scam enquiry]

The oil rig person already tried earlier - his gig has been going since 2016. This one is not too different, received the mail from a mail distribution platform with links to an email address he wanted me to respond to. I did not use the link but send a mail to the email address. He responded a week later and now says he is in US until June. Want's the bike for his son - similar to the oil rig guy who wanted for his nephew. So I just wanted to check if anyone else has dealt with him/her. No I wont release goods - it feels very much like a scam. 

Thanks for your response

It's a scam. 

Don't bother.

[Warning about Bike Shop!]

Went to the local bike shop today to go and buy tubes for my road bike. Came with my 4 year old. Was meant to go in and out. While I was walking to the till to pay for my tubes my eyes shifted a bit to left as I saw something shiny but quickly lowered my gaze.

You will not believe what happened next!  The owner had the audacity to bring that shiny carbon road bike in front of me and spent 30 minutes showing me all it's features! He was so rude he even let me test ride it outside. Worst is his son came out and brought a matching kids bike for my 4 year old. 

Both of them even followed me to my car and then helped me load the bikes in my car. I am now in the doggie box with the wifey as I was caught trying to hide the bike in between the fleet of the other 5 bikes. 

Please hubbers I highly recommend wearing your sun glasses in the local bike shop so that you do not get caught out like me.  

And here I was, sitting and thinking someone missed Friday, meanwhile...

 

Excellent dude, would love to take you for a beer and sell you a Cannondale, they have some Good specials haha 😄 

 

Please teach your kids to be like you in this regard dude, we need more people like you !

I also am not comfortable with buying a hardtail, because I previously got scammed by Solomons Cycles with a silverback stride sport. And maybe a scott 970 would be the type of bike parts wise

Bikes Should be Registered with the Department of Transport and Have a Licence like a Car.

In this way there would be a central database of serial Numbers (VIN). Forks Shocks and Cranks serial numbers Could be added to this Database. This would make it Easy to Identify and Trace Stolen Bikes making it less attractive for the current Cartels to steal them. And these Cartels do Exist. There is a Guy on Facebook that told me on the phone that he could get me any Fork I wanted, but it might take a couple of weeks.

I would not mind paying a Yearly License fee if it were to Reduce this Terrorist Act called Bike Jacking.
