People are sick

Enticement I'm doing my first Epic next year so I'm trying to get as much free advice as I can get from experts like you. So could I please ask that you write in English not management consultant speak? Thanks in advance.

I'm having more fun on the Chinese takeway fred

Back off Dangle - now is not a good time to get competitive with me!

How about answering the question? I'm genuinely interested to know how you handle returning good to China, how the shipping logistics, claim process, reimbursement and/or new product supply works. I'm sure I'm not the only one here who would like to know. Thanks

Oh dear - I forgot schools are still on holiday this week and based on your reply I can only assume your marks in English class are on par with Malema's woodwork marks. Sit down with your English teacher on Monday and ask her to explain the difference between the indefinite pronouns "others" and "everyone" and what comprises a theory. If you feel like returning to this thread after that and continuing this conversation on adult rather than juvenile level, please do so.

You're too funny. I broke a Giant frame after 3 years of racing it and I had a new upgraded version sent to Jozi, from CT within 3 days. Do a search on this here Hub and you'll find others with exactly the same experience.

Care to give us some detail of when and what you've claimed on?

Your cycle was on the weekend when the race didn't go your way. It's my turn this week - OK! Now leave me alone I've got other people I want to pick a fight with before everyone logs off and goes home.

Dangle the Drifter - starring soon at your nearest Mattress World. Free Cabanossi and Stewed Prunes for the first 50 entrants

You leave skidmarks on the sheets!?

Oh - does that mean you re-route blood vessels?

Stewed prunes are better!

Huh?

I have no doubt the irony of that statement is completely lost on you.

Nice welcome to The Hub from you lot! The OP's name says it all and instead of saying "It doesn't matter" (kinda what Pieterg said), or "What height are you" or even "The bigger wheels may be more forgiving on the technical stuff" you respond with juvenile sarcasm.

Jeez bud just trying to help out - go do your own research if my answer is Chinese to you.

Yes - ask your Giant or Momsen dealer

LOL You win.

You can buy a blank alu frame delivered from China to your door for R600? Really?

Nope

The lifetime of the bike. I broke a first generation Giant Anthem after 3 years of racing and Giant gave me a new 2nd generation Anthem as a warranty replacement. Edit to say the lifetime warranty applies so long as you're the original owner of the bike.

Oh dear more assumptions. A Chinese blank does not necessarily cost 20% of a local frame. A Giant XTC 29 aluminium frame weighs as little as 90% of these Chinese carbon blanks and cost around R3 000 - 50% of your "cheap" Chinese frame. A Giant XTC 29 carbon frame weighs a lot less than 90% of these Chinese carbon frames and costs around R9 000 - 33% more than your "cheap" Chinese frame. And here's the thing - both frames have lifetime warranties and if something goes wrong they will replace your frame within days.
