Hi Don't know if this is the correct place to post this... I am very new to cycling and only started out 3 months ago. Went to a bike shop and bought myself a GT Avalanche 3.0 brand new and off I went. Now 3 months down the line I took the bike to a different bike shop as where I bought it to get a full on bike setup done. (as the shop that sold it to me just adjusted the seat a bit and off I went, so much for helping the new guys out) Now after doing the setup I need to get a new seat post as my seat needs to be moved more to the back and higher than the standard post can go. I asked the guy at the new shop but if I have to buy a new seat post doesn’t it actually mean that the bike I bought is actually too small for me and he said it could be. I did ask the guy that sold the bike to me what size I need to get and they still ordered me a large one as they didn’t have stock. Now I’m riding the large and I’m 1.85m tall, don’t know if that helps anyone. Also the reason I went for the setup was I am getting the worst pain in my neck from cycling and we came to the conclusion that it was a bike setup issue hence why I went for a proper setup and now all this. What am I to do? Should I just buy the new seat post and move on or will I develop further issues down the line (will this resolve the neck issue) because the bike isn’t actually the right size for me? Or is the bike the right size and the guy from the new shop is just taking a chance to sell a seat post my way? (highly doubt that) Must I go to the first shop and demand my money back as I think the CPA will back me up here as I did ask the shop I need a bike to fit me and I was literally there so they should know what size I need! If the frame is too small I wouldn’t demand a new bike or my money back I just want the correct size so I would settle for just a frame change and keep all my old components. In the end of the day I just don’t want to screw myself up because one guy didn’t know what he was doing when he sold the bike to me, if that is the case! Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Dankie,

Jy moet my n mail drop as jy weer stellies toe gaan ry - ek sal nogals nie mind om saam te gaan nie. moet begin langer afstande doen vir die burger in desember!

More Staalwater Caledon 30km

Het sopas vir hulle gemail want ekt ook net een nommer gekry en blykbaar het hulle nie die MTB nommer vir my gestuur nie want ek doen net road events. (Ek het nog nie n road event in jare gedoen nie net MTB) maar ja hulle pos nou die MTB een ook vir my.

I've bought from them 3 times and this is the best service i've received from an online store. Even kicking kalahari and takealots asses! My one order even came on the same day i placed the order!

I'll be tackling my first as well!

Nice Vid!

I did the short route and got lost a couple of times and what i heard from the other riders its the same story. Weet nie of ek weer sal terug gaan vir dit nie.

Ek en twee vriende kom doen die 20...

Okay ek gaan nie gaan nie. R200 sodat ek en my girl 10km kan ry! Ek koop eder my eie brandewyn en gaan ry by Schapenberg vir R40. So much for supporting my home town...

Ja will see how it looks on sunday morning...

A friend of mine got a descent merida just a few weeks back for just over 2k. The extras on the bike if he had bought new would have cost almost 2k. I bought a GT Avalanche 3.0 new 7 weeks ago for 5k but it was for an insurance claim and had to get it from a shop otherwise i would have bought second hand as well.

I am thinking of going to check this out. im an "oud grabouwer" and this will be my girlfriends first ride so we were planning on checking out the 10km.

Gaan maar settle vir die 18...

Hydraulic and only for front! The only other thing i noticed the computers cable is running down the front brakes hydraulic cable...but i can't think that that would have an impact.

Ja i found cwc after i bought the bike...and with new CPA laws i can strictly speaking return it and demand full refund - but lets not go there just yet! i'll try and get the bike back to them asap and hopefully they can sort it out for me. thanks for all the advice people!

Its a MTB and it is on the other side than the discs. Its about half way down the fork. I did try and move it the sensor yesterday and got it closer than 5mm but still the same thing happens. Im laying towards the cable break as it takes a while after i release the brake to start monitoring again...

5 - 6 weeks

LOL i highly doubt if helderberg cycle world will do that...they charged me for my chain that broke after i had the bike for only a few weeks. But i guess i'll have to take it back! net nie lus vir hulle "ons is beter as jy" houding nie.

Bike still brand new only done 100km on it...it happens every time i brake even if i only do a little. so im guessing it does not make contact anymore.

that sounds good to me but now to explain this to the guy that told me that i put too much tension on my chain (and thats why i broke it ) is another story!
