Skylark

I'm looking for a 26er rear wheel if anyone has one lurking around, with a shimano hub would be great, I don't mind paying for it and the shipping if needs be.

Whether I buy something from my lbs or Crc and then decide its not what I want and sell it still new/sealed in the classifieds it comes with no warranty, that's a factor whoever buys it needs to think about when considering whether they want to buy the item or not. The difference is if you were running a business and that business is selling grey imports you still have to abide by the Cpa and give minimum 6 months warranty with those new goods, in that regard the Cpa doesn't concern itself with the source of the goods.

I haven't seen this overtly happening in the classifieds, which sellers do that? I don't see anything wrong with it, as long as they aren't implying theres any local warranty if there isn't. When I buy something in the classifieds whether it's as new or 2hnd I don't expect any warranty other than no hidden defects and that the condition is as described, people also seem to sell their new Crc "mistakes", wrong size/colour/part etc, it's new but you buy knowing it has no warranty.

Only read this now, get better soonest Tumbles, stay strong and keep fighting!! Ouch 70 percent burns, the car must have gone up like a fireball, poor dude.

Lol, talk about a storm in a tea cup. I don't think Anythingbut's suggestions that brought on carbon29ers rant was uncalled for or out of order but then again sometimes it's hard to tell if carbon29er is trolling or not. Can't you filter the classifieds to exclude dealers? As Anythingbut mentioned, I wonder if Bike Market does pay his fees to Admin as a dealer selling in the classifieds? Saw the other day Bike Market had 3 pages of complete bikes for sale, a good R100k or 2's worth at the listed selling prices.

You can't, only way is to delete the whole ad and repost it, even reactivating an expired ad hauls up all the old comments again.

Sorry BigTom, I think I was one of those that unfairly judged you earlier in the thread, my apologies.

If I'm hearing you right you are saying that you where first in line to see the bike at the sellers earliest convenience and then Bike Market pulled some moves and convinced the seller to allow him to jump the queue and he bought the bike, like a little bit of hook n crook involved? Despite what I may think of Bike Market profiting off of bikehub's classifieds by reselling stuff straight back into the classifieds if you snooze you loose but if you were fast on the trigger and still managed to get shnaied that's not kif. Then again greed can make people flush their integrity down the toilet, so it's a viable possibility.

You are implying there is nothing else to business but money, definitely for some people it is that way, generally I try avoid them at all costs. Also chill bro, why so worked up, is there maybe something you need to tell us?

Oh sheet, I never clicked, did notice something felt a little deja vu with some of the ads. I think it's fair dice to call out crazy pricing in ads, especially if the seller implies what a good deal his price is. I've appreciated that help from other hubbers before and unsuspecting buyers get taken sometimes. Post a link in the comments to the correct retail pricing on a reputable retailers website. If a seller wants to post in the classifieds then part and parcel of that is to accept that people are free to post comments and if your "deal" is genuine then it obviously should bear scrutiny. Likewise if I see a good deal I'll post a comment as much, goes both ways.

Nice read, makes me wonder why I take the menial challenges I face daily so seriously.

Ah ok so the T-shirts are made in Australia or made in China imported via Aus? I have had absolutely no issue with outside side pockets/just below the waist on cycling shorts/baggies, lower leg pockets on the other hand... waste of a pocket

Baggies look interesting but why put the zip pockets at the end of the leg, that's the part of shorts that goes through the biggest range of motion and hence anything even slightly heavy will be flopping all over the place and making life a pita. What are the pockets designed for, 1 ICE card and 10 Smarties each side? Can only agree, that's Premium Fashion brand VnA Waterfront type pricing, R450-R499 for a screenprinted T-shirt, where is the value add? Unless there's something we not getting like they are made in Italy or have mohair in the fabric etc?

So onward and upward with my ABID clever dripper, I can't play around with the grind as I have no grinder currently but I tried extending the brew time to 5/6 mins and now I have flavour in spades. Very tasty, Aeropress to the back of the cupboard my old friend

Encryption keys?

Plentipotental, how has your experience been with the dripper, not making the coffee the way you prefer? I've been using the Aeropress for the last few yrs, I prefer the ABID dripper process, its more like a tea ritual, slow and relaxed, also easier to make and clean up, the Ap tends to squirt out the sides a little, as they get older also quite difficult to press down(assuming the holes in the able filter narrow with coffee oils). I'm not sure on the results, not as much flavor as the Ap, seems a little flat. I am getting flavors I've never had before, some very nutty walnut flavors are predominant. I'm I've been using iteachcoffee's timings/process, probably not to the letter though! Any tips or hints I can try with the ABID to get a better brew?

Anyone have any ideas on how much Lignum vitae wood sells for and is there much demand for it? It's that very hard wood that was used for bearings in watery environments like boat props/hydro electric turbines etc. Also knife handles, door handles because it's so hard.

Eucalyptus? How would you have planks cut out of the logs and how much would that cost?

If be careful, Iast time I tried riding a tyre past reasonable grip limits I came pip when the tire totally lost it unexpectedly at speed in a corner, after that experience I'll never run pap tyres(well not even vaguely hard or pushed anywhere near the limits), not worth the medical bills. Worn tyres are only good for straight lines.

My ABID dripper arrived a short while ago, not sure what some of the Amazon guys were saying but I can see it's very well designed, nice heavy gauge plastic, lots of over engineering with flutes and support bridges etc, can't see it cracking unless you went full retard. Quality product, can't wait for the first brew, I like that it has a Truth logo screenprinted on it, classy. Barista booklet looks very cool, nice reference to keep handy. Thanks to iteachcoffee!

It's got the looks as well! What's the grinder like?

Seems like potentially a good deal, in the classifieds for R3800, what is this machine like: Classic Gaggia Max Coffee Machine/Grinder/KnockBox https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/229190-classic-gaggia-max-coffee-machinegrinderknockbox/

Not bad then! Do you have a link to their Kickstarter or Website?

I was going by some of the Amazon reviews, granted from past experience they often need to be taken with a pinch of salt so it's great to hear that it's more robust than that, here's to a long life enjoying my ABID!

Will do, should arrive sometime this week, I'd also like to hear the experiences of those who alos ordered it. But considering iteachcoffee's endorsement and all the positive reviews on Amazon etc I really can't see it going wrong. One point I did notice reviews mentioning is that it is a little fragile, one bad drop onto tiles/concrete and you can potentially write it off, something to keep in mind if you like making coffee when drunk or half asleep
