  1. Thinking R15k give or take 1 or 2 depending Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  2. Been reading a lot. Next question I guess is hard or soft tail. Is there any decent soft in my budget. Would it bottom out due to my weight? Any cons/pros? Thanks

  4. Thanks a lot for the advice guys. Re supermarket that's definitely a no no. I basically bought a Silverback Phoenix when I moved right by majik forest. Got lazy for too long and know when riding it I realise the size is wrong and 26' is not fun... so I gave myself a year still to see if still enjoy riding and as I do, it's upgrade time Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  5. And if i look at 2nd hand bikes (better bang for buck), is there anything in particular i should look at or be careful of?
  6. Thanks for the tip on the wheels. When you say respoke, do you mean actually replace the spokes or just adjust the tension?
  7. thanks, that's the goal... I'm 1.9m and been told i should go for a XL
  8. hi, i also have a 330. never had a garmin but couldn't see myself dropping that much cash. it does everything i need
  9. Guys, I started riding more regularly and realised that my old 26' is not cutting it and need to upgrade soon. At 122kg I realise i don't really fall in the target market so advice from the +size riders (nevermind buffalo, we need elephant category) I'd like to hear what bike you guys have. I was quite optimistic when i saw articles about fattie and plus size bikes, but it didn't really apply I'll look at a 29' XL for sure. I'll most probably change the gearset to ease my pain in the climbs... I'm thinking that carbon will not come in equation at all, as let's be honest saving 1 or 2kg on the bike at cost is such a tiny % of the bike + rider weight in my case. Thanks for advice
  10. have you checked the bryton products? i don't have one yet, but really considering it. https://www.bryton.co.za/bryton-rider-330-gps-device-with-trade-in.html
  11. The main issue for me is that if you forget to point your toes, you will unclip. It seems to only work by setting an angle between to shoe and the pedal metal piece... I cannot imagine that being confortable at all
  12. Thanks. Shoes might be different than parts though... I'll see
  13. on a side note, apart from VAT how much is the import duty on bikes parts?
  14. and do you do bike servicing as well?
