No Heath Robinson ( ? ) way , like drop it in water . If it sinks its okay . If it floats , it is not ?

Is there a quick way of checking if there is still adequate life in those " 2032" coin type batteries ? Say from a heart rate monitor or cadence sensor.

The ANC regime can sort it out , as they " leave no stone unturned " in all their " investigations " . Which suburb of Roodepoort ?

Mr. Tumbleweed , 47027 posts ???? Wow , my Kroon. How much time have you spent on thehub?? Only trying to get to my 100th

What is next from these EXPERTS ???. That I should have used the word ADVISE and not ADVICE ?? ?? I put it to you............. Aaag , I rest my case . Ha ha

My remark is not leveled at Mr A. but at some of the other EXPERT Hubbers that , in general , now give the sort of advice that you expect from your grandpa . I was not shafted. The price I paid , plus the fact that the BS refused to give a guarantee on the secondhand bike ( as they do not normally deal in 2nd bikes ) was within my risk tolerance.

This discussion thread is now full of Knowalls. A am from Jhb and bought a Pina MTB ( carbon ) from a reputable BS in Limpopo . They sent me MANY pics of the bike/frame except a pic of the crack in the frame. It was a risk I took and accept.

I have always had excellent service from them. However , when I needed to contact them i.r.o. an order for goods that were not in stock at the time of placing the order , I failed to contact them as the window on their website is not user friendly . The fields that I had to complete were not accepting my details , like order confirmation no. , etc .

I have not read the article from the beginning. However I am surprised that ASG is not "driving" this issue of fakes , let alone grey imports

Like the 60 means more "strands" and one layer and the 45 are thicker but less strands and 4 layers and stronger ? Oops sorry , your first reply did not open up completely the first time !

Pinarello Dogma carbon is 60HM1k. On the Pina MTB , the carbon is 45HM4K. What is the diff. in layman's terms ?

No response . Zuma must be the chairman of the company that owns the shop ??

Don't worry. The anc regime leaves " no stone unturned "

Why are MTB always ( or just about ) sold without pedals , like it is used underpants ?????

Not trying to score some brownies, but it does give one great satisfaction to think that a lot of us contributed ( in my case , small ) to this lovely being

Could this be the reason the 4th stage was not televised on Dstv last night ( 22.30 ). Maybe Dstv should also be penalized

Is it just me or are those smiley faces ?

Have entered. The SASOL air will give you more VOOOOMA (not)

Here in Gauteng , there are some " Chine Shops " that specialize in electrical gadgets/equipment. You can buy LEDs over the counter. I am sure you also have some " China Malls " in CT. Try them. The stuff originates from China anyway.

Game , Set and Match !!

Your name says it all. Refer to my comment on post #18. And it is not even Friday yet ???

'Skies my Kroon ,maar dit wassie ekkie. Decades of motorcycle riding has taught me that applying the back brakes until it locks , is a sure way of ruining yourself and the bike , let alone the " trails "

I also ride a motorbike ,but because of VERY effective ABS , I have never had the problem of the front wheel " washing away " .The same can not be said for the MTB.

Why do they normally fit the larger diameter brake discs on the front wheel ? The rear brakes are used more often ( with my riding style anyway ).

Arrived last week and not opened yet. Are you waiting for Christmas in June ? Ha ha
