  1. you should be able to find the actual bike picture on the Giant website, look under archive.....
  2. Interesting argument, as he imediately flagged down CHUBB and informed the Police....how can the "owner" say that it was stolen from him? Clearly the goods where taken and handed to the police? Now the only question is, will the bike EVER make it to its owner or will it stay in the POLICE "custody" until they can sell it or whatever they do with un-claimed goods.
  3. Heard something interesting yesterday but I am not sure if it will apply to cycling. Under the new CPA it does not matter where you the good( bought it yourself on Singapour or imported it etc) as long as it is a genuine product ( ie not a fake). The distributor will have to honor the warrantee. Like if you buy an iPad in the UK and have a problem in SA, any distributor here has to assist you. So maybe Specialized will have to honor warenties does not matter where you got the bike. Or Scott, GF etc. Thanks CPA
  4. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what has the crash replacement policy in this case got to do with "grey" You do not have a crash replacement on this product no matter WHERE you bought it.....
  5. Sounds a bit much for what you are getting here..... If R6000 is you total budget then I would suggest that you buy the helmet first then next month the bike, tehn hydration etc can come later. The Helmet is the MOST important thing....then get the bike, save on the "tubeless" converstion and do that yourself....plenty info on the hub (howto's)
  6. If it is shimano then it is the trimming click...have a look at how much the FD moves when you change....normally it the first click is small(trim), then the next one big(move the chain to big ring) and then DA has another small click while you are on the big ring(trim again) Hope it helps. WRT the gears 2 and 3, have your RD hanger checked, if all the other gears are fine then the hanger could be bend or the RD cage itself. That is if the barrel adjusting does not sort it.

    Cable liner

    Yes it worked, but I did not take pics...... Took a new cable and "scored" the outer plastic where I wanted to cut it as I still wanted a little bit of "normal" cable left. Then "scored" the little wires with a tiny file all the way round....then I cut the outer of like Mampara suggested and broke of the the wires.... Now I had a piece of normal cable with only the inner exposed at the one end. Thanks for all the suggestions. Here is a little drawing of the end product. Black lines is the plastic outer Red the metal wires and the green is the inner( the inner is very thin but I am sure it will do the trick.)
