  1. Went to a mica today and inquired, said did not have any but phoned head office about it . Phoned me back and said they would get one for me by Monday and will phone me so can collect. Price R699 So just go to your local mica and order it
  2. Problem with this thread is that if the new shop does not live up to the hype then will go down if flames along with the hubbers hyping it
  3. Red rims and the chainring can stay, else you go another colour and will have to get a chainring to match
  4. I use 2 tie down straps over a beam in the garage and suspend the bike to work on it. Something like in the pic

    One of the comments on a UK paper which am following the over by over commentry. "How many of us sitting here being a bit smug at the Saffers collapse will be spluttering into our G&Ts at 20 past 4 when England are all out for 114, 40 short?" Is a funny old game and if England can get the ball to move around , then am sure the Proteas will be able to!!
  9. This like a Nigerian scam... you wanting bank details or us to deposit some money before you let us know? How confirmed is July 2013, or is that subject to lease negotiations, stock, staff, yada yada??
  10. Most start on 32 x 18, should be easier enough for most hills and general riding
  11. Even before he had the trails to enjoy! Hope for a speedy recovery!
  12. 32x16 and grin and bear it where I need to, but for most riding in joburg is ok
  13. 1 x 650b HT 1 x 26 SS 1 x Road Bike
  14. As you say bastards! Hope you manage to recover it!
  15. Market forces, as others have said, willing seller, willing buyer! As you said, you failed on a buy and are peeved that you see the same item at a sale on a more expensive price... Sorry for you, If you don't like the new price don't buy it and wait, else tell the seller you saw it at that price and offer what you are prepared to pay. You may get it, you may not. You wait long enough you may see something you want at your price. Is often waiting on the hub, bargains come along, some may see this and make a profit from reselling, this happens in all walks of life!
  16. Imported one last year, 9 days from confirmation of order to arrival by courier to my front door. If you order through their website, make sure you set up location as south africa, as they will take the UK VAT off their price and it will also automatically calculate shipping. They also tell you to supply a physical address and not a PO Box as they send by courier. Expect to pay 15-16% as local duties Info on duties http://www.thehubsa....-cycling-goods/
  17. need to paint a shadow of a cyclist on the wall riding the bike...
  18. Ordered direct from On One http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FOOOCAR/on_one_carbon_fork
  19. lots of the questions you will have have been asked and answered here https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/126220-narrow-crank-bolts-for-ss/
  20. Convert your current 26er, get a tensioner and sprocket for the back wheel, remove the shifters, FD and RD and use the middle ring on your crank, buy a cheap 8spd chain and you are on a SS at minimal cost... All the knowledge is in the SS forum....
  21. Buying from China is not illegal? Disclosing as a China copy is not illegal either?
