Captain Fastbastard Mayhem

Nothing like a bit of indicisiveness to make you look like a tjop in front of 3 very scantily clad women... Good luck, mate! Personally, I'd go with the latter choice...

I've gotta get some new hubs for my XC bike. Current ones are toast thanks to someone putting cv-joint grease in them during a service. Caught the FAIL when I serviced it myself, but now the bearing races are so pitted it's shocking. Wheel is pulling to the left when braking, and the QR is helluva tight. The spokes are fine, as is the wheel. And after I've just bought a new crank for her, thanks to the original one not being put on properly and almost breaking... My wife is gonna kill me.

Your avatar - it sucks.

That's awesome. Nice find, Nigel...

You want to buy them, or you want them to help the salesman sell you a car?

Jo... that is kinda difficult. Like riding through a mangrove swamp. I've hiked through a few of those and they're not that easy to get through! That's a race that you could use Surly's tires...

Now that could be an interesting rivalry... Arguably the strongest xTerra competitor against a proven athlete. Both possessing never-say-die attitudes and oodles of talent & experience. Bring it on...

Caad - were you kakking off like the cat in your Avatar?

With whips and chains?

ROFL...

Agreed, eccentric one.

C'mon fellas! He's still breathing! "no, Del Boy... That's just the wind"

I'm getting my bike back from the shop tomorrow... Can't wait to ride with the changes! Upped the front travel to 120 from 100 and put a new crank on after the old one broke... Hitting the forest in the pm. Just have to remember to steer clear of boulders/DH1 due to the logging going on...

Yep - nitida & Delvera this weekend! And a Majik challenge. Plus someone said something about a discounted minor service?

Pronutro? No... I had mine this morning.

Lol... That's an interesting thought. I shall ruminininininate (i.o.w - I shall ruminate long and hard)

Agteros - I've requested Topwine's posts to be ignored on my profile. Fight was never there, as far as I'm concerned.

Seems as if I hit a nerve... Unfortunately, his history of personal attacks stems from quite a while back... TNT - how will I ever cope?

Resorting to personal attacks again, I see. 1, 2, 3... Ignore posts from this user. Enjoy life, top whine.

Bwahahahahahahahaha! I can just imagine the call to help-desk... I can't see my desktop...

"I will accept his apology, but"? Contradictory, much? Either you accept it or not. Yes or no. No space in acceptance of apologies for yes, but. The but was already a addressed in the apology. Either you can't read, or you're being wilfully inflammatory and are trying to elicit a response.

FFS, FSA. Admin posted an apology. he did it, because he though it might be relevant to us, as cyclists, who are looking at savings on... Oh, yes. Bicycle servicing costs. Shock. Horror. He might have been wrong, but I actually would have used it had my bike pnot already been in for a service at another LBS. Because I would have benefited. There is an apology. Either accept it, or back the hell off and stop flogging a dead horse. Admin has already said that any similar e-mail will never be sent out to us members. Personally, I don't mind this sort of thing. It's relevant to me. no information has been given to a 3rd party. Grow the hell up, dude. I'll give you a free tip here: hold "shift" while pressing "delete". Instant, permanent delete from your mail server.

Damn. The new trail is going to have to be renewed just a few weeks after insertion, it seems... Not to mention Boulders itself.

Who the hell is junior? Seriously though? No dbl posting for me... I bring enough mayhem as it is... Edit - that junior! Rofl! Not me! Ask pain or shine, Capricorn , chubba, the wes, admin etc. I sure as hell ain't Chris jnr!

FFS... Does nobody here know how business works? I sell 1 item to you for R 10 (ex vat) and my margin is R 4 per item. If you're prepared to buy 10 of said item at once, I will charge you R 7.50 per item instead of full R 10, as a result of the bulk purchase. I would still have made R 1.50 per item, giving me a total profit of R 15 for the sale. My profit is still more than I would have made, as the buyer is convinced to buy more due to the discount structure. Shipment for 10 items is cheaper than shipment for 1 item. Even if shipment = 10% of item cost (75c per item in this case) And Vat = 15.4% (calculated on cost Inc shipping) = R 1.27 per item therefore total cost per item to CWC = R 9.52 (landed) and RRP (ex vat) is R 10 per item, I still have R 1.04 (R 10 + 15.4% VAT - R 9.52) that I can add to the sale price of each item to get the same price as you would have been charged at CRC directly. That means that I still make R 1.04 profit per item, and you still get it cheaper as the freight charges to me (using bulk carriers and large shipment amounts) is far lower than the freight cost to you. Does that make it easier to understand how an agency arrangement such as this would work?
