Sepia

During the wind and a day before the wind and age hit me....hard.

I will never use them again so open to offer. Silver colour with scuff marks.

I am using friction shifters with Thumbies on a Jones Bar and and is the best gear changing I have ever experienced. I used the same setup on a Mary Bar witch was also good. The Mary Bar is now up for sale if anybody is interested. Nothing beats a Jones bar for touring in my opinion.

Me too. You will not be sorry. Do it!

My experience with Enduro after three months of topping up. Granted, not a road wheel but gravel. Too liquid in my opinion and the Ammonia smell is really significant. Stans works for me.

I concur. I have been using a Redshift stem for ages and it is really a great product. One of the better buys I have made. I will not ride with anything else (especially if you are old and decrepit)

This!!

Cheap at the price! Best bar I have used, (By far)

My Comfort bicycle. It is not a race.

Whilst in Prince Albert, I got caught with a puncture which would not seal and popped into Prince Albert Cycles for advice and Arno just fixed the tyre immediately and gave me a cup of very decent coffee. He also offered, without hesitation, to keep my car while on the road. (Thanks again) Needles to say, I came unstuck properly after 100k's plus of my 400km planned ride and had no option but to call it. I had a headwind ALL THE way and used 2nd and 3rd gear only so I was really in survival mode. Against my inner will, I gave Arno a call and requested assistance. He had a meeting later in the afternoon but again without hesitation immediately said, Stay put, I am on my. way." He saved my bacon. A humbler, kinder person I have never met before. He has done some huge rides both local and international and does not part with any info unless pressed. It was a great pleasure meeting him and finding out about all the repairs he does for charity and the characters who reside in the town. A truly noble man in PA and if in that area, pop in and have the best coffee PA has to offer (really!!)..........and the stories he can tell you! A humble soul and I thank you, my learned friend. So, if any of you guys become unstuck in this neck of the woods, contact me, I would love to Pay it Forward.

Exactly the same thing happened with my 800. Took it apart and worked it from the inside. Wish I saw this thread earlier.

Spoke too soon. My already replaced 1030 has now packed up and is unreliable. This will be the 7th time it has been back to the agents. Before I slate the product, I would like to give Garmin another chance. (Maybe it is from the lack of use as it is still "new")

My 1030 is more than I need and is still working perfectly. Hope it stays like that. Only had one warranty replacement.

Thanks Slowbee, used to hunt Rhebok on that mountain. Walked many a mile with my dog and on horseback. Brings back many happy childhood memories. Did a cycle trip from Tarka via this area Bedford and Cradock the other day. Just had to do it albeit with a tear in my eye on every hilltop.

Local would also be lekker!

Tsolwana, old family farm it was. Then they stuffed it up!

Woodoc, smooth as glass, with or without shine. Yellowood, definitely clear 50?. (Heat resistant) Seal with three coats Woodoc clear sealant and light sanding in-between and three coats 50 also light sanding in-between. Use a decent brush. Woodoc interior or exterior (more UV protection) wood food once a year with a sponge and it will last a lifetime. Don't play around with pieces like this. Fantastic! Have done a couple in my life and they still look new.

I see a red door and I want to paint it black.............

Another vote for Velobrien. And they are in your area. Had three done by them, no problems apart from cost.

I agree. Good on you Cois!

Funny!

I stayed in a small town near Kroonstad once...... Sunday lunches after church was something to behold. Oh, to be young again!

Thanks, got it now. There goes my time......

Me too!

Think of you every time I swing my leg over my bike. Your attitude will beat this. Get better, NOW!
