Steady Spin

MO is the follow you with the car and either block you and jump out or they run you off the road. The bakkie pulls up and takes the bike. I think a blue fiesta was mentioned in Centurion. Couple of posts on https://www.facebook.com/groups/134361270058168/?ref=share

Sorry to hear. Same MO in Centurion. 3 guys in a car attacking the cyclist and a bakkie loading the bike.

A happy ending! Cell number in the original post.

Especially for this specific 1st Friday of April

The evolution of a dropper post.

Any specific reason for wanting an oval? I had endless issues with rubbing on my Evil with an oval and went back to round. Just sized up and took two extra cement pills in the morning.

DM me your email address and I'll forward the one Trailtech did for my Evil.

Will appear bigger on a 30mm due to the tire profile changing slightly as the rim gets wider. I know there was an extensive topic on here somewhere covering the effects of rim width on tire profiles. It is minor though going from 25 to 30mm. Still noticeable to the trained eye.

More proof? Jeepers this guy has no shame. https://www.linkedin.com/in/taun-bewsher-47436321a/?originalSubdomain=za

If you needed more proof that the Africranks potential scam (https://www.facebook.com/Africranks) is also very very suspect just look at the snack packs posts on the Facebook page One of them is specially made up for Taun himself.

2.3 for me but on a 30mm rim they sit nice and fat. Loving my Specialized Butchers. Who cares about uphills when life is all about “roostin’ & boostin’” 😂

150/170 hits the sweet spot for me.

Nothing new from CWC to be honest. Bought a brand new fork with a cut steerer and flower nut pre-installed.

Sold a frame and some components this week. Everything was scrubbed clean, frame was worked over with a cutting compound and resin polish before a coating of paint conditioner was applied. My orders go out in “minty fresh” condition and I expect the same.

Ended up chatting to Biket.co.za as well. One store that doesn’t drop ship. They had stock and it is on its way to me. As for the “they all do it” i’ll have to disagree there. We can leave it at that.

2 calls, endless attempts on the live chat and promises made that they will call me. You would think after paying extra for overnight shipping they would have been on top of the order. Should I call every single online store before placing an order to confirm stock? That is not how ecommerce should work. Frame shipped out this morning. A friend managed to help me last night.

Having a big issue with East City Cycles as well. Ordered based on stock status showing "in stock" and paid for overnight delivery. This was 24 hours ago and in theory should have been delivered today. I'm still waiting for the warehouse to phone me and tell me they are out of stock. I shudder to think how long I'm going to wait for my refund.

Received their email this morning to notify me they are also out of stock.

Was about to say the same. Swopped a BB out last night after 2 years and it was smooth as butter.

Wheels MFG - https://www.summitbikes.co.za/index.php?id_product=1167&controller=product You won't look back. Fully rebuildable as well.

Buying and reselling makes you a dealer and dealers should pay to list their goods. So many flying under the radar. One in particular that has hundreds of ads but still not listed as a dealer. Thats a real problem to me.

Build complete. Fox suspension SRAM GX build Lots or OneUp bits

Thanks for all the feedback and offers to help. Appreciate this community!

On the same model. It basically disappears while you ride. Extremely comfortable for something that looks so slim and hard.

Managed to find a good Samaritan that can help me after work today. Which means the LBS only needs to replace hoses and bleed the brakes on Friday.
