    I've learnt that I feel like a poephol regardless of the tyre width every time I do that 😂. Sometimes the feeling is so bad that I pretend to not notice my mistake until the new owner points it out and offers to fix it :oops::whistling:

    Did exactly that last night on the 4th tyre I fitted.... I made the neighbours blush with my choice of language.

  2. Did he send you a copy of his ID or works on an oil rig? 
    Wants to send a courier to collect etc.

    Whatever you do don't release the goods unless money is cleared in your account.

  3. Anyone up in Centurion that also rides solo most of the time and looking for a friend to ride with?

    I mostly ride out to Harties and back via satellite road and through the cradle. 

    Nothing fancy in the garage and I’m not a speed demon with an insta360 on the tail. 

  4. Ah FFS man. 

    This one hit really hard. 😭

    Rest in peace my friend. We had many a good conversation in all the years I’ve known you. 

    Keep the rubber rolling wherever you find yourself. 

  5. Spent over R2000 on a fit with a well recommended fitter. The stem length changed 10mm and the saddle was raised 5mm. 

    Made no difference to the comfort of the bike and didn't resolve the pain issues I had. I was also promised a copy of all the adjustments and my measurements. Multiple followups and nothing. 

    I ended up adjusting everything myself and the bike fits like a glove. University of YouTube for me before I trust another snake oil salesman.

    Thank you for video but it is not working been turning the lock to all the ways it seemed like it is either stripped or bad component???

    The locks on any bike rack is garbage. Can be broken in seconds. 

    Get a good lock and chain to secure your bikes. Thank me later.

    The seat post is a Merida Comp TR. No adjustments were made by us, and thanks for the confirmation about grease, lube and spray.

    I must add that last year after a year of ownership the bike was booked with Cycle Lab for a major service stating that both the suspensions needs to looked at and assumed that the dropper post will also be looked at.

    The mechanic contacted my wife stating that a major service was not needed and the both the suspensions looked fine. At found it strange at the time but left it there seeing that they know what to look for. I have made it my mission to aquire much knowledge as possible over the past year of what is true and what is not true.

    It seems now that the post is dire need of a proper service and adjustment.

    Go to a real bike shop.

    Okay. I just assumed, because the guys are dressed in Mr D clothing, and the bikes are MrD branded that they provided them to contracted riders, unlike Uber/bolt which is more focused on individual contractors doing the deliveries.

     

    The amount of times a MrD branded oke with a bike delivered an Uber Eats order is quite funny. 

    These okes deliver for every possible service they can. 

  9. If you bought the bike new then the shop normally offers the first service for free. 

    This is so that all these little niggles can be sorted out. 

    Not abnormal for indexing to go out slightly in the first 250km. 

    Chat to the shop and if not an option just unscrew that little barrel adjuster while riding until the shifting smooths out.
