  1. See this thread: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/115228-win-a-magicshine-mj880-2000lumen-4000k-cycle-light/page__st__48 Too good to be true? Posting from the above thread: Deal with GroupOn at your own risk, very little respect for honesty in advertising in the South African operation.
  2. What? Both balls? And I'm looking forward to the trip if it means I don't become a uniballer.
  3. Thank God I don't live up north. There are no shacks in the vicinity of Tokai, us Capies are larny.
  4. A bit shy in making it smaller font?
  5. Cancel your deal with GroupOn and they are obliged to refund you 100%. They do this sort of thing often, very low moral threshold as a company.
  6. I'll ask my housekeeper how my shoes are always clean and dry when it's time to ride. Then again, do I really want to know?
  7. Gumtree is not the hub, the 1000 is advertised on Gumtree at R899 (see image above), your website has been changed to R2,199 to make the GroupOn deal look genuine. Hubbers can make up their own minds on your ethics.
  8. Better deal than this one: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/115228-win-a-magicshine-mj880-2000lumen-4000k-cycle-light/page__st__48 Hannes Zietsman, on 02 June 2012 - 08:34 , said: Good point. I need to edit the post on the hub and gumptree. thanks for the reminder. Don't tell me you actually thought all groupon deal where amazing? That Pyro2000 on groupon is a very good deal by the way. H
  9. So you support deceiving your potential customers to sell units? 54% off the actual price is amazing. Normal price marked up to get 54% off yet still pay normal price is a rip-off. I wonder what advertising standards and consumer protection commission will think of this?
  10. Funny how the price has jumped from R1,500 pre the groupon deal to R3,199 on your website to be able to sell at a 54% discount at, wait for it, R1,499. I'm also sure the 1000 was listed at R899 early May, now R2,199 discounted to R999. R1,500 was price discussed in this forum. Here are some photos with the numbers...
  11. When you flett near the servo
  12. Funny how we congratulate a guy on the pain he's about to go through over a 3 week period! Make us proud, hope it's true.
  13. Awesome, the pro with the most UCI wins in 2012, hope he gets onto a protour team. Chapeau Reinhart
  14. 5 photos on a Spesh S-works?
  15. Post Office does not use Volumetric weight for parcel post. They use actual weight for parcel post. Couriers and Speed Post use volumetric weight. I would guess a bike would cost about R200 to post and about R2000 to Speed Post.
  16. No, you are wrong. You will only get compensation if you insured the parcel. If it gets lost uninsured you can't even claim the cost of the postage!
  17. Give them some time? What, to make sure all evidence is removed? Once a parcel fails to arrive at the receiving post office kiss it good bye. We used to use the post office. Parcel size was box size so someone could not just slip it under a jersey, track and trace would say a parcel has been checked out of the sorting centre and loaded on a delivery to the local PO. Never arrives, the driver simply does not deliver it but here is the fun bit, it was given to a specific driver who signed for it but when it does not turn up he has no responsibility. Investigation department would write to say sorry, your parcel went missing. Unless insured we carried the loss. No responsibility on the PO. We now exclusively use couriers after carrying the loss of too many parcels. Unfortunately, the post office is world class in one respect. They steal with the best of them.
  18. OMG! Not only the biggest retailer in the southern hemisphere but also 7 pages of drivel on the hub with photos of shoes no one on the hub has ever seen at prices we can all better with little or no effort. WOW
  19. What? Like getting married to a filthy rich but extremely ugly gut guy? edit: gut
  20. This dual duel may well be more interesting than the dual for GC. edit: 3 way can't be a dual
  21. I don't think there is a cyclist in the world who hasn't been tempted to take a hitch on a hill, it's no big deal that a sprinter uses a team car to get over a mountain. Sprinters have done it for years, it's part of the sport. Maybe Robbie Hunter is wrong to deny it, that's a bigger deal. But so what? Get off your high horses guys, it's pathetic that you think any of us care that you call him Hunter rather than Robbie? He's made it as a pro cyclist because he is uncompromising, not because he's a nice guy. Last year Mr Clean accused Cav of cheating when the rumours were flying about him holding on, let's see what he says about Robbie this time round.
  22. The updates seem really simple. Log on to Garmin mydashboard, plug in your 500, click on update, follow the instructions. Couldn't be simpler IMHO. Nothing can go wrong go wrong go wrong go g
  23. Here we go: The Stelvio
  24. channel 7 is english
  25. Channel 6 is down, 5 is in dutch and working. Sometimes this happens when pirates are involved. I normally keep checking and it comes back during the race.
