  1. What makes it indoor other than the marketing?
  2. Hopefully I have time to build this weekend. Work is hectic and I still need to get the headset pressed in and the rear brake hose replaced. Hope the hose is long enough because then it is just a bleed needed.
  3. And this why I'm very comfortable owning the Tickr and Kickr. The service from Ikhambi has always been stellar.
  4. Now that it finally made it's way to South Africa after a massive hunt taking 2 months. The latest addition to the Steady Spin household. Photo stolen from Pink Bike but I'll post some proper photos when the build is done. I'm seriously jealous here. Going to be a really sweet bike for my fiancé.
  5. I’m on my third Kickr and second HRM. They seem to be lasting this time round. Definitely looking at Garmin for my GPS needs.
  6. Sorry for your loss friend. Hopefully insurance can get you out on two wheels fast.
  7. Centurion getting hit very at the moment. I know of multiple break-ins in the past month or so and bikes stolen. I assume nothing else taken?
  8. Stretching and yoga is always a win
  9. Built in kick stand on both sides. Very cool bike.
  10. Great deal at Easybike? https://www.easybike.co.za/garmin-edge-130-plus.html?utm_source=www.google.co.za&utm_medium=Google+Referral&utm_campaign=Google+CPC&sfdr_ptcid=40513_617_654969312&sfdr_hash=6c0fe29e1b03397b427bacae62840708
  11. Only ones available for Evil in SA is the Burgtec kits and they are only the 10 delta link bolts. Those are the least likely to break since you never really touch them. I bought from Huk-Tek I stripped a trunnion bolt when I removed the shock to have it serviced. It was torqued to spec and installed correctly. The standard bolts are hollow aluminum...
  12. I opened the package to inspect and it looks like they cut this in-house with a blunt blade. The quality of the film is also suspect to me. Hoping it turns out ok. I really don't want to apply this again once the bike is built.
  13. 69er is reserved for..... anyhoo Personally I would leave it as the good bike lord intended. 26er all round with no changes in geometry. Especially for a new rider. Maybe I'm a purist.
  14. Sitting with a kit from Armour Ride waiting to go onto a very very special frame that is somewhere on a plane from the UK. Hope the application process isn't a ball ache like the service from them. Is there perhaps a local installer in Midrand / Centurion that will do this or do I take the gamble and do it myself? I also bought a basic version of theirs from Cycle Lab that I guess I could practice with on my frame before attempting the install on the lady's frame.
  15. Full Ti Delta Link, Trunnion and Lower Shock Bolts, Front Pivot Bolts from Huk Tek This was not a cheap exercise but rather a necessary Evil to replace what can only be described as bolts made of cheese.
  16. Wait. Are they charging an additional 3.5% for orders processed through Payfast?
  17. Had this issue as well. Thank goodness Hope had stock of their match maker clamps. Also expensive but it was the only solution.
  18. Paid R1,499 for mine in July last year. Bought two and never looked back. Definitely worth the money spent!
  19. A ghost bike is a memorial to a fallen rider. Painted all white and placed in the spot where they passed away.
  20. No need to be worried about needing to be gentle on carbon bars. They are plenty strong.
  21. I have two orders coming in from the UK and US that will take less time than a quote from Bike Addict. That is shocking. This is why I exclusively support Evo and Summit for all local orders.
  22. According to DR he is still waiting for that quote.
  23. Frame is going in for paint so the chainstay and downtube protection will need to come off. What is the best solution to “glue” these back on? I assume some sort of double sided tape?
