  1. I need the middle one in the cable kit.
  2. Thanks! Dropper was a breeze to install thanks to a helpful tip here about a vacuum cleaner and cotton wool. Just a bit unimpressed that no stock of the cable routing kits are being brought into the country. Both bikes have ugly open ports now where the dropper cable goes in Odd thing I noticed is that one bike has Orbea cranks and the other Shimano. Part shortage still very much a thing it seems. As for taking the bikes to Cyclelab for anything…not a chance. Took delivery and my first step was to bolt check everything. Guess what? Nothing was even remotely tightened or set. Turns out the bikes never went through the workshop at all. Horrific. Both bikes registered online for the lifetime warranty.
  3. Why is R15,000 off not good enough and considered shafting?
  4. So i have this square peg but everywhere i look i see round holes.
  5. Will update the other thread.
  6. I used a piece of ribbon. Sucked through instantly. My magnet on a string just did not stick passed the welds by the bb.
  7. Trying that now. Never struggled like this before
  8. I urgently need your help hub land. Anyone in GP that i can buy or borrow this cable routing kit from? Need it today please! Text me on o8326o4!59 please
  9. Used to prevent the fork from touching the chainstays of the second bike when on the rack. Like an Imbi but at 1/10th of the price compared to Thuli.
  10. Anyone in Gauteng that is a wizard at scanning and printing a small cable guide for me? Bike came without a dropper post compatible plate and it would be great if I didn't have to drill out the existing one. It is the one in the middle. Will need some custom design work.
  11. One word "airdrop" My life is complete with it. Have ipads, macbooks, apple tv, iphones, etc in the house and everything interfaces so incredibly well.
  12. Looks like it is the MT-201 which gets rave reviews. Lots to do today. - Install 780mm bars - Install dopper post (Can't seem to find the right cable guide kit so a custom plate needs to be made in my dungeon - Install the Vittoria Barzos - Convert to tubeless - Fit the clipsy pedals - Fit cleats to the ballet shoes. Do this x2 for both bikes so my fiance will be doing the tubeless conversions.
  13. Eat what you like, drink what you like, ride road, ride gravel, ride mountain, pick a wheel size you like, and pick the watch you like. An opinion is like a ****. Great to have, lovely to behold, but don't shove it down people's throats.
  14. I’m super impressed with the build quality and shifting performance of the Deore. It punches far above it’s weight for sure.
  15. Exactly that. We looked at Titan but the Orbea just offeted a better overall deal for me. Looks better too. SX completely put me off.
  16. R45000 after the new bars, tyres, and dropper post. 😂
  17. "Is this still available?" and then crickets
  18. Not at all. Makes me go "challenge accepted"
  19. Not quote for us though. 2.25 tyres, dropper posts, 780mm bars, and 120mm travel. Proper downcountry.
  20. People suck.
  21. Ill keep my Fenix thanks. Came from an Apple watch and while it did do a fantastic job I always thought of it as a fashion accessory that recorded my rides.
  22. I'm super happy. The Evil can sit and rest for a little bit now. Can finally get the frame repainted and now worry about not being able to ride for a whole weekend.
  23. Which payment processor? Alert them to this thread?
