  1. The "post count rule" is one opinion of a couple of hubbers that are mostly here to enjoy the forum and it's community and 'discussing' everyday matters. This however will not really influence whether an item gets sold if posted by a small-post-count-hubber or not. If something is placed in classifieds, the price is right, and there is someone looking for it, it will be sold. There are thousands of people here with no to little post counts that are looking for a bike or a part or accessory everyday, so the opinion/rule of 1 or 20 hubbers will not really influence whether you sell or not. I've started with this here Hub as a buyer/seller with no post counts four years ago... Sold and bought many items with no hassles while having very little posts. Each buyer/seller to his own. You will probably be safer off buying/selling here with no posts than on junk-tree.
  2. Yes, I would think you can. Lawful Citizens' Arrest THE SOUTH AFRICAN CRIMINAL PROCEDURES ACT OF 1977, ACT 51, SECTION 42, says concerning an "Arrest by private person without warrant": 1. ANY PRIVATE PERSON MAY WITHOUT WARRANT ARREST ANY PERSON - (A) WHO COMMITS OR ATTEMPTS TO COMMIT IN HIS PRESENCE OR WHOM HE REASONABLY SUSPECTS OF HAVING COMMITTED AN OFFENSE REFERRED TO IN SCHEDULE 1 Schedule 1 Offenses » Malicious damage or injury to Property [2|3|5]: EDIT: there are many other schedule 1 offences, but I thought maybe this one could also be relevant. Summary AUTHORIZED TO ARREST » Any South African citizen may arrest anyone who commits or attempts to commit a Schedule 1 offense. » Any South African citizens may arrest anyone who he/she reasonably suspects of having committed a Schedule 1 offense. » Any South African citizen may arrest anyone attempting to escape a security officer, police officer, detective, or national security officer.
  3. On the day entry available?
  4. Definitely no more threads like "So how much weight have you lost since you started cycling"... No more weight loss due to cycling.
  5. Ask here: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/134686-transbaviaans-2014/
  6. I would upgrade them to 29" wheels if I were you... Ok, I'm leaving now. Will be back on Friday.
  7. +1. PM me his details also (if he is in the Cape)
  8. I've had a pair and ran a couple of 5 - 10km trail runs, and one half-marathon. On the trial runs the small rocks did not bother me, the occasional toe-against-a-rock hurt like hell though, especially in the winter night-runs.
  9. In most places around the cape you're going to get to 900m ascent before you get to 30km
  10. Frosty doesn't usually let the pooch sleep on the couch, but its winter and all, so he's a bit more forgiving.
  11. You're washing it with a softner and drying it in a tumble-dryer right?
  12. Think what he's asking is where does he get jerseys with "company ads" or "sponsors" branding other than only the first ascent logo on the sleave for example. Well, most bike shops have their own clothing branded with a sponsor ex CycleLab with Toyota and CWC with, well CWC or whatever. You can design your own. You can join a club, like the lab or CWC etc... You can also get items designed by corporate companies on clearance at velotex.co.za afaik.
  13. yay. In another 4 years when I reach a 1000 posts I'll let you know if I have something to sell
  14. I don't think it's fair requesting a minumum post count before one can post in classifieds, or being a member for while. You can't just force everyone to take part in the mostly useless drivel which is the hub. Lots of cyclists out there are not interested taking part in the internet-forum paraphernalia, but still has something of (literal) value to offer and is aware that Scumtree is dodgy at the best of times. DISCLAIMER: I am only posting to gain posts in the event that a required minimum post count is introduced to be able to utilize the classifieds.
  15. But you just use that 15 minutes to pack the night before ? In effect not winning any sleep...
  16. Nah. Can't see SAPS re-imbursing or even apologising...
  17. Those are lekker bikes! Awesome to play around with on that 140mm travel up front. I'd say R8k-9k'ish.

    Enter Button

    Did you try both of your enter buttons? Sometimes when you read some of the posts on the hub coffee spills out of your mouth involuntarily. This in turn may cause some buttons to brake (break?)... try the one on the bottom right hand side of the keyboard.
  19. Will come lend a hand... new faces welcome?
  20. It's already R45. Upping the entrance is not going to keep people away that doesn't care about the environment. There are loads of people still throwing cigaret buds and coke cans out of expensive SUV's and whatnot.
  21. I lost a bomb-valve adaptor, two tyre levers, and a tubeless-plugging-tool thing at Tokai. Only realised when I got to the parking. Will teach me to ride with a saddle-bag like a tosser. PS- was a while back, though.
  22. Was thinking of lying on the couch and drinking beer but now I'll have to go check it out myself.
  23. Jeez what a coincidence... I'm getting married and that's exactly the amount I need. Don't have a business plan though.
  24. If he works there: opportunist If he doesn't: stupidist idea ever
