RocknRolla

I have just been playing with the post like type button thingies...

Specified as part of my household insurance, last time I claimed was when I drove the wife’s bike into a height restriction bar at a shopping centre. Car was repaired, bike was replaced with zero issues. I do however have a broker that is meticulous, and takes each claim over from start to finish. This is through santam.

So, this is still awesome.\ Probably my most favoritest LP song. https://youtu.be/0xyxtzD54rM?list=PLBiPNxqFKPZKfP4rN-J5jYy94-2mLufQz

There are no free kilometers on this ride. (I say ride, because mortals don't race the monster) If you have suspension take all of it. I did that mini monster climb out of Mountain sanctuary the first time I did this event. Like Knersboy sayz, that was the real tester. Oh, and surprise sand in between grass in the run-up to the monster climb.

Happy Star Wars Day (fellow) Nerds!!!

Cajees.. is that you??

My bike is very cost effective. Tyres maybe once a year (I'm riding a lot more now, so probably once a year. My last drive train I replaced exactly 2 years ago for R1100. Fork Service last year for R800. The biggest consumable for me is beer and sealant. Edit: Like oom Ben says, If I had a "proper" bike according to current standards, I would have to rather take up action tic-tac-toe. All my supposed "bike money" goes towards keeping the missus's steeds tip-top. But it's still not silly money.

used one for years, rated to carry 3 bikes, but could only ever fit 2 mtb bikes. Also, loading small/xs frames are a pita.

Bianca sure is pretty..

The bartering is stupid, just put your price on, and get on with it, the whole “ trying to catch unsuspecting customers “ is bull. Perhaps I should go there and offer some of my magic beans for a bike...or perhaps a goose that lays golden eggs...

I will rather NOT ride my bike, than go to Cajees for anything. Bunch of useless crooks.

Been doing the longer easier stages for xp. I'm close to level 38, but without working out what i need, it still is a while to go. I wish my stages were zone 2.... it just doesnt happen, theres a position indicator on the screen, then you hook up with a lekker group.. then you hang on for dear life to that group.. and then it's a sprint to the finish.... Signed up for the giant crit series.. that'll be interesting...nothing like go till you blow on a wednesday evening.

Ninja's....they're everywhere...

Save your R1k and do what Ouzo says.

The difference between this and lets say a car battery that fails within the warranted period, is that the internals of the failed bicycle part is serviceable. I dont pay to get whatever is broken with the battery fixed, and in this case, neither should the client in case of the dropper post. Sounds like they're taking a chance.

I just had a pantsident.

Unless you have battery or motor related information for this thread, I think your opinion is probably better expressed on the "Do E-bikes belong on the mountain" thread. (Use the search function) as you were...

Looking good!

Didn’t ride outside today. slept late.

Navworld no longer has a service/ warrantee agreement with Garmin. garmin SA handles their own warrantee issues etc from the offices in rosebank. I had a problem with the wifes 520, took it to garmin in rosebank (5mins from my office) and got sorted. it was a simple thing to fix tho. I understand the frustration from the OP, as he is not able to have one person take his query from start to finish. perhaps describe your problem, and we can see of we can assist from there. alternatively, if you want to send your head unit in, I am more than happy to assist as a walk-in intermediary.

So to recap: a surfer from JHB, gets directed to a truckstop in a coastal town , to join a bunch of lycra clad strangers on bicycles.... what could possibly go wrong...

We’re halfway there... keep going

Bet you the handling becomes dodgy, because it's slippery when wet. You'll go down in a blaze of glory though....

Try and get a set of 8fiddy wheels, they are tubeless, but it's quite a chunk of change. Tubes don't bother me, I hardly do adventure trips sadly, and my insurance has a great roadside assist service.

They scratched my roof rails of the car when removing the racks. If they had a key, it was not used.
