  1. Plenty rides there. More than most. Speak to Arno at the bike shop. He knows more than most. I am sure he will chime in here. Very lekker place to ride, even alone.
  2. Still no communication from the bike shop. Took three days to uplift the motor from Postnet. Awaiting report back but it would seem they have nothin g to say? Avoiding the issue I think as they charged for 500W and sent 350W
  3. @ouzo and love2fly .Thanks ChrisF The serial number shows a different number to what it should be. Manufacturers confirm this (it was them who told me) and the number was for a smaller motor than what I purchased. Local supplier says the factory overseas cocked up so they changed the casing locally. Don't want to mention the bike shop because they have my motor, loom and display including my deposit on repair. Very expensive repair so far.
  4. Gooday All Is there anyway of checking the size of my supplied ebike motor? I am under the suspicion I have perhaps been undersupplied motor wise but do not know how to check what the wattage rating is. Appreciate any help?
  5. I would certainly never ride the M4! Certainly not at this time of the year. Early morning is worse than at night. I know there are guys and clubs that ride this route but not for me....never again. In saying that, there is a route inland from Riverside to Umhlanga and then you can ride the beachfront, if you can manage to fit in between the crowds.
  6. Thanks Arno, I have indeed. R2500 price for lekkie ring in SA and R1200 oversea including postage and excluding import tax. Need the adaptor to solve all the problems.
  7. I hope the brains trust are able to help or point me in the right direction. I desperately need a Bafang 8mm offset chainring adaptor so I can fit any sized flat chainring onto my existing motor. They are available but I have no idea where or how to get one. I did have a 36T lekkie bling ring but this has gone and bust by very suspicious conditions and a suspect answer. Thanks.

    The Munga

    Is there a list of people taking part? Are the numbers up from last year?
  9. Gooday Does anybody have a wiring diagram for the Cyclec dynamo light/charger controller? The diagram I received from the suppliers is impossible to decipher. I have tried to contact them but I don't think they are in business anymore as they do not answer mail or calls. Hope you can help.
  10. Very true. Beware over festive season as it is even worse at this time. No go for me anymore. I will, say there are no safe roads to ride on with the likes of cane trucks sharing the road with you and dropping cane on the road, etc, etc. Ballito has grown too fast for safe cycling anymore. Beware out there.
  11. Have you tried petrol and a brush to separate the two halves instead of a heat? It will leave a better seal when closing.
  12. Gooday, I have this Novatec CL hub and was wondering if it is worth using it to build a wheel? I sounds and feels fine (heavy) and could even use the driver on a Shimano hub if it will fit? Anybody know anything about this hub? Worth anything or paperweight material? (Tried to Google but no luck hence the questions) Thanks in advance
  13. This looks like Ageratum which is an invasive alien plant!. Terrible things!!! Beautiful but dangerous as they say.
  14. SLX chainring - more than 25 000kms KMC/Sram chain - about 15 000kms Cassette - about 8 000 (Cheapest used) 9sp MTB - I use oil on my drivetrain and clean often. Seems to be working.
