  1. Photo of the damage?
  2. The bike room still needs to be painted. 😂
  3. A wood clamp will hold your headset in place and give you a spot for your handlebar, stem, and spacers.
  4. People aspire to be more than a salesman in a bike shop? They also employ students who move on in their careers.
  5. Try get out to Buffelsdrift bike park for some distance and good climbing. They have a solid 80km route that will be a good challenge. Alternative is SBR which is a road ride with some proper hills. JHB itself doesn’t offer anything spectacular for training.
  6. Aha. When you were looking for the superboost hub I thought you bought the Following V3.
  7. You bought the large that Andre had available right? That colour is something else! Following. New frame inbound and I think we will have the same problem.
  8. How often so you love2walk?
  9. Thanks. I see Epic Sports is one of their listed shops. Wont be ordering from them directly. What is the Omnico connection?
  10. What an absolute ball ache of a company to deal with. Three weeks already to try and get the correct order delivered. Ordered matte, gloss was delivered. They promised to sort it out on Monday. Nothing happening. I hope the product is better than their service. I want to pull the trigger on a complete kit for my Evil but now I’m super skeptical.
  11. What he is looking for is a dual suspension, not a soft tail. That will help with the search.
  12. More people got Covid than walked on the road drunk.
  13. Will definitely come chat to you. Struggling to get my compression dialed in 100%. This HSC and LSC stuff is making my brain smoke.
  14. Depends on where you are, Sprocket & Jack in Parkhurst will also collect and drop off.
  15. Definitely can't afford time off from training at the moment so I'm keeping well away from getting sick. 2 years and counting and still free from catching this thing. I plan on staying negative for as long as possible too. Had my first and second shots and the side effects were mild so I skipped training for a few days to be safe. I won't be taking the booster though. Definitely not needed with the virus appearing to burn out in the next year +- As for training after getting sick. I'm seeing so many people jump back into it after a week or so from "recovering" and then complaining about bonking and heart rates spiking etc etc. It blows my mind that people think a viral infection is completely cleared when the symptoms are no longer felt. Give it at least a month for your body to properly recover before you train again. Had family members die from training too soon. 25 year old in perfect health collapsed in the gym from a massive heart attack. Can't say it is related to getting covid but it sure looks a bit suspicious to me.
  16. SRAmano drivetrains don't always work as well as the internet suggests. Running full SRAM now and all my problems are gone. I wish I knew this R6000 ago.

  18. Honeydew in Johannesburg? Maybe Northcliff Cycles.
  19. Have some Fox ones and the fit is great ION is also really good. Just a tad expensive. Ciovita is a great quality as well and a good fit. Alpinestars also great fit. Troy Lee Designs is too tight around the neck.
  20. Any recommendations for painters in Gauteng? Orange is cool and all but black with a gold flake and pin stripe will be so much cooler. What kind of costs am I looking at? Ballpark.
  21. Agree. That is frustrating. A little skills training goes a long way.
  22. What is your budget? I have a week old M8100 I’m looking to sell for R2000. Otherwise order from Summit. They have stock and great service https://www.summitbikes.co.za/index.php?id_product=1059&controller=product
  23. Agree. I have a bike rhat riders can send 20m gaps on but I can’t. Does that mean I’m a poser for spending the money on it? Sheesh 😂
  24. That was an answer with great advice on starting with a point of reference as to what similar cassettes cost.
