  1. I read up about this, and the big difference is when you are waiting in line there is not much airflow The moment you step on the plane there is airflow from top to bottom
  2. TBMTBC has sent at least 4 notices wrt this. This behaviour can have an impact on the club and trails, if we want to keep the trails then please assist by telling your fellow ridier to mask up. Did not quote for any reason Eddy
  3. Guys who keeeeeeeep posting "shut this down and move on" = Unfollow it / dont read it. I find it funny how morne can quickly come post here but when there was an issue with the thing he sold he did not reply to a whatsapp for hours/days. He took that high ground that the buyer should wait he is ready to talk to him "kan jy nie foken regig ni wag tot die naweek ni" He belittled the buyer "As jy slim genoeg was het jy dievurk sefl weer verkoop" He told to buyer to go for it when buyer mentined hub. "Great go vir dit" Then he came here and cried lies lies and told the buyer to post the whatsaps or he would. AND the whatsapp just show what a boks he was . morne, does your whatsapp have a character limit that you can not complete a word properly? It is people like morne that give bikeshops, service centers a bad rap. People like him who will take newbie for ride, charge more than what he should etc etc And those people are our friends, many do not have lots of money and can not afford to overpay for GX upgrade kit by 3k ( another "bikeshop")
  4. Study was for. HCW. Health care workers. They conclude that a medical mask should worn. Same as what the article I posted said. Not sure why you say we are going around in Circles? A statement like yours. “Going around in circles until you read this” on a forum seems like you are saying “Stop discussing it, read this link and get yourself to my standard”
  5. Or you can also post it. You claim there were two sides. Lets see it then
  6. Why must he wait for his money? If you said " i asked for his banking details and offered to reimburse him now, and collect on 7 Feb" then you might have had a little toe stand on. You have 15 year experiece and can not tell a 650B from a 29er? Now I am wondering how many riders that used you are riding around with the wrong internals in their suspension
  7. Better headsets also include better deals. Cheap ones often does not come with any rubber seal. My Cane Creek came with a very nice rubber dust / water seal ring on the bottom of the headset that does a very good job at keeping water out. On my other bike there was no seal only the ring that the bearing sit on. Better design = more Expensive
  8. OP please give us his hub name also. So I can stay clear of him
  9. Post the add and we can comment We need info like 26 or 29 What brakes Quick release is old tech etc
  10. I dont think you should advertise it yet. Demand your money back and if he does not do this report to Admin, kick him off the hub and only then advertise the fork etc
  11. Seems like the OP has tried. But why must the OP sell the fork and not be refunded imediately?
  12. I must say that have a little lists of who not to deal with in the cycling related and he just made the list
  13. I have seen that being done, but will stop them from now on. Since I have this new info. "get off and walk like me, this is mandatory portage Why else do you think I am walking?"
  14. check if the cell number is the same 072 235 3385 Edit Yes people it is Morne from technoguide He has a website where he listed the phone number above And profile pic on whatsap is same as what OP posted here https://mornevanrensburg.wixsite.com/technoguide PS: Remember what I posted here is in the public domain allready on his website is his phone number. You add the phone number whatsapp and you see the profile picture. 0722353Edit38072230722353385533855
  15. Dude that is BS He pays you and then you send it You had to to PAY him before sending it to you
  16. Well said sir I can not understand when people recomment a gearing to someone else when they do not know where the person rides. What inclines, distance, how much per week etc etc In the Cape "spining out" is much less of a concern that being able to up a 10-27% incline. I often see people from JHB posting that 34 or 36 is the go to ring. Would love to see them climb the cement road on Conties that is loose, rutted at first avg 15% then cement at 27% in a 36T (yes the pros do it)
  17. Tell him he has 24h to refund you and he can come fetch it from you anyway or you can send it back 24H later NAME and SHAME him here I am sure everyone here will agree that we do not want people like him on the hub
  18. In theory = yes But there are a few variables to consider 1. Hard tail You could get away it 2. Fullsus This is where you can do damage. It depends on what RD you have Older RD's had / have a mechanical stop. If the chain was on the shorter side and now you put a 2T bigger ring your RD could get jammed against that stop when your suspension is at bottom. If this happens it is new RD time Some bikes does this more than others so the it also depends bike to bike GOOD NEWS I have done this for me and others. Going 2T bigger = you need one outer and one inner to get the correct length again. Bike shops will have pieces of chain laying around, get a small piece from them and then add one quick link and one inner. Break the chain at the blue arrow and use the quick link on your bike with that black (red circle) and another quick link to the rest of the chain. So now you have a current chain, that end in a current quick link, NOW inner link attached to that then another quick link
  19. All SRAM shifters and RD. RUNS 1 to 1 pull ratioAnything 9 10 11 spd. RD will work with any 9 10 11 speed shifters I have done it. 9 mtb shifter with 10 road RD
  20. Measure from the center of your seat tube to the chain ring. If more 50mm then your chain ring is not in the correct place. Maybe people doing 1 x conversions uses the wrong chainring or does not use the correct spacers Or if you have a long straight edge. Place it against the cog in the middle of the cassette. Let’s say gear 5/6 and you chain ring should be inline with that cog.
  21. To the rider on Koeberg road this morning just before 09:00 1. The law states that if there is a cycling lane you HAVE to use it. 2. I saw you look back for and then chuck a gel down. That plastic packet is what polutes our waters, kills animals etc. The car in front of me stopped and looked like the was turning around, I hope that guy gave you an earfull
  22. More detail. Price or link to add?
  23. I am sure you can make a little extension Alu angle. Drill some hole and bolts
  24. First prize would be that it happens.
  25. Another example of someone thinking they don’t have covid and will not spread it. Mask or physical distance. Arg tog.
