  1. Hey all you talented cyclists! I'm looking for a bicycle valuation certificate sample document if anyone could maybe help? Even if it's just a copy of one you have received recently ... TIA Ben
  2. Mine was that his wife wanted to start cycling, I dropped the price quite a bit thinking I was helping someone out .... only to find the bike for sale a few days later for 3000 more than I originally wanted! It was already a damn good deal for a very very well specced 26" bike 🤬
  3. One of those things that doesn't sit well with me in a 'community' like bikehub but hey its been going on for a very long time and I was once the 'victim' ... haven't sold a bike on here since then, rather sell it amongst people I know
  4. In many years of riding tubeless tires I've never considered plugs 'temporary', on the rare occasion they don't hold pressure or fall out I've made another plan. Otherwise they stay in for the life of the tire! Just me?
  5. Is not great but cars are still using it ... even today a small Daihatsu of some type went over.
  6. Not something I'd put on a bike I ride lots though, probably on my potter around the neighborhood city bike ...
  7. 'I rode my bike today, what did you do?'
  8. He reckons I can have it middle of next week ... will be sure to post pics of the mod. The 'other' pics I'm hoping not to have to post!
  9. He said he'll cut off the 'arms' and just put 4 back on in the right place? I mean if it's not 100% round doesn't matter ... we ride with oblong blades anyway😜
  10. Jissie ou bloody coffee through the nose and everywhere 🤣🤣🤣🤣
  11. Tired of looking for blades for this strange BCD .... getting my alu welder/fabricator mate to change it to 104BCD Maybe it'll work, maybe not?
  12. The same as people are sort of impressed if you've done it as long as you don't tell anyone 🙊
  13. 'Mechanical sensitivity from the rider' ... have to steal that Overlooked by many a weekend warrior!
  14. I don't care what y'all think, 2011 was the toughest 🤪
  15. Surely you jest 😳
  16. A thing of beauty and then some flowers that arrived in South Africa in contaminated horse feed during the Anglo Boer War. Yesterday, today is a miserable day on the Highveld 😞 #UselessInfo
  17. There was a time when it was a 'pleasure resort' ...
  18. To my mind a gravel bike much like a single speed is a mindset thing, you either get it or you don't ... Clearly its not a mountain bike and I know many say you can do just about anything with it but I prefer to use it for mostly proper gravel and decent jeep track ... doesn't mean that I don't get the occasional bad patch but it's generally not that long and bearable. Yes it can be tough on the arms and shoulders and stuff but the feeling of covering a lot of ground over gravel surfaces can't be beat, to me anyway. There are of course those infidels that use some sort of suspension fork and stuff but what can I say 😜 As an aside I'm over 60 and not far off 90kg's and I still love my gravel bike and ride them quite a bit "THE BICYCLE HAS A SOUL. IF YOU LOVE IT, IT WILL GIVE YOU EMOTIONS THAT YOU WILL NEVER FORGET."
  19. Not sure I'd be keen on a games evening invite from these folks 🤔 Beaten the weather for a while now .... it'll have its revenge I'm sure!
  20. Back in the day YellowSaddle did posit that it was because wet rubber 'cuts' easier ...
