  1. All the best. Keep us informed.
  2. Same thing with me, same leg. Had to drive 150kms after the "Race" and then climb three flights of stairs. Took three days for medical to come to the party. Should have gone to your Doc as I walk like a crayfish now.
  3. I am currently using the 9 sp Sunrace 11-40 but it it is not as good as the Chinese 11-42's I have been using. Half the price of the big brands and last virtually the same time ....in my case anyway.
  4. Ball in hip bust off the femur, plated and plates removed. Very lucky to be able to still ride. Unable to walk a km but ride 100's kms. No load bearing.....
  5. Tried them both. No response.
  6. HI All I have recently had to replace a new controller for my mid-drive "500W" Bafang motor. This thing is overpowering and haywire. I would like to have it turned down for distance and not speed. Who does this locally? The problems are: Highly sensitive and motor comes on full power without peddling, even when stopped. Very dangerous indeed. Can reach speed of 60kms hour Distance on battery is halved and gear changes are rough as there is no run-off. Something is going to give? Does not switch of when stopping peddling (Eg, at a stopstreet or opening entrance gate at home) No slow speed Tried the supplier but they do not answer phone, mail or messages.. Is this something I can do myself if I get the cable and program? Thanks.
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. @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.
  10. 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?
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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?
  15. 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.
