JB i read your article with amazing interest and would like to comment as follows as we also get wheels which have been re-built by rocket scientists whom dont follow basic rules.
Our stock arrives shortly as we already sold out of the first shipment.
You dont need to buy a complete groupset you can upgrade DA7900 with the electronic bits and pieces you need,such as RD,FD,STI and of course battery charger and battery and cable set.

Cateye Strada Wireless should not be so expensive,double check with your dealer .
Zang, please check your inner cable and make sure both inner cable and outer casing are Shimano. We tend to find sometimes dirt get inside the outecasing and starts causing shifting problems.
Big H, no we only stock Shimano 40 hole tandem hubs and maybe some Dt which we trying to get shot of.
BIG H, Try and get your LBS to order from us Velocity Fusion 40 Hole rimsmake in Australia which in 20 years of dealing with Velocity have never had one problem .
Sorry should read DURATION, maybe i was thinking about DURA ACE
We are seeking the assistance for the duraction of the Cape Epic Mechanics whom are able to service and repair bikes.
Masood can you imagine how many on-line shops we would have to supply as anybody with a computer would be classified as an on-line shop.
Mark thanks again for the apology and i think you would also be well received if you sent an apology to the shop whom when i discussed this issue with the person in question mentioned that you were even offered the useage of a loan bike whilst your derailer was being sorted out but you declined the offer.
Thanks Don appriciate your remarks.

TCRCARBON thanks for your questions regarding pricing.What i have learnt of recent is that in Europe many companies supplying cycle parts and equipment are in fact sourcing these components thru either a manufacturer which are destined for assembly on complete bikes where by the manufacturer either has no orders for complete bikes and is in financialdificulty thus dumping components in order to get cash.I have also learnt of another method which i cannot put in writing on the Hub as its on a more sensitive note and would cause an absolute stir.Then again there are some sources which buy thru the correct channels but have specials or work on low mark-ups.
stratus5,Please note there is a difference in part numbers for a freehub body model 760/770.After reading your post on the hub i decided to investigate and found we received 25 on the 14/11/08 and the last unit was sold on the 9th Jan.We received 130 FHM760 bodies today and have reordered the 770 model which should be available mid Feb.
Mark i am surprised that you were not assisted with spare parts for your Shimano rear derailer and would like to know some facts.What is the exact part number of your rear derailer??IE RDM970SGS or RDM960 etc etc.For your information we have over 8000 small parts in stock and can assist most claims that we are informed about .You are more than welcome to call our offices or email me directly if you do not receive total satisfaction with either our service or products.
Duty on footwear is between 25 and 30 % so i am sure your Lbs will be able to offer you a better deal. Also check the model you want as sometimes they are old stocks being cleared far below cost.
Dirtbreath, i stand to correction but expect the WHM778 wheelset to be about R3.8K incl.Vat at your LBS.So u saving Airfreight,schlepping to clear the goods,and of course we will back u up 100 % with after sales service warrany issues etc.
Shimano have Thru Axel wheelsets WHM778 which is XT Tubeless and is available thru your Lbs.Also have Slx and Xt Thru Axel front Hubs which are ex stock .
Shimano delayed the production of Carbon Cranks as the new 7900 range was introduced and Shimano were not happy with Tests done and it would have been pointless to produce an old design 7800 looking Carbon Crank.Shimano use Cold Forging and Hollow Tec II to produce their Cranks and find it to be lighter,stiffer than Carbon however
Some Internet sites mention for example XTR cassette without specifing the exact part nomber.Xtr cassettes are available as CSM960 (Old discontinued model) which have been replaced with a new model CSM970.
CNHG93 = 9 Speed chain for either older 9 speed Road Equipment or for 9 Speed Mtb such as XT and Lx etc.
New 10 Speed Ultegra Chain = CN6600.rgds smFortuis, we have a few left in stock. With the unstable current which Eskom are delivering at the moment we have had some problems with the motor brake unit. Tacx have replaced them under warranty and have also had some upgrades to the Software so we hope that the unit becomes more reliable. With the currency problem we beleive that the I-Magic is the best value for money at the moment and gives nearly all the features the Fortuis does.You can download the Fortuis software onto the I-Magic as well.
Thanks for posting the pictures of our JAMIS and Niner Bikes at the 94.7EXPO, we were very happy with the interest received on our SHIMANO/PRO booth and are committed for the future .
