Titanium

I'd like to think fairly skilled and fit. Ride every weekend - distances vary between 55k and 80k, depending on how I feel. I mostly pedal on my own but need that extra shove to reach the next level. So I guess more training focused. I need to add I am more on the mature side but can hold my own.

Hi I'd like to join a small group of mtb riders in the Beverley/Lonehill area.

Thanks you made my evening. Almost fell off my chair laughing.

AGREED - he operated on me last year March and replaced L3/4 & L4/5 (not a fusion). I had severe back pain and couldn't walk the last 4 days before my op. July 2011 I was back on my bike (gently) and so began the road to recovery. I have done many rides since then - including Sani2C this year. I feel great and best of all no back pain.

Can you convert XTR wheels from Q/R to 15mm thru axle?

Will do - frame is with Cycle Lab Fourways. Going past there later this afternoon.

Thanks for this.

Hi Anyone know who the importers for Merida are? Thanks

Thanks Skylark. Learn't a lot from this experience.

Thanks appreciated.

Eish Rad006 - I've never felt so embarrased. I'll collect tomorrow and we can chat about doing a ride.

Yup, I agree.

Thanks, will be following up first thing tomorrow morning.

Evening I feel massively obligated to do this as I've never felt so embarrased before. I advertised my Merida Team D Carbon frame for a really good price. This evening Eon from Potchestroom drove all the way to my place (Fourways) and after careful inspection, low and behold we found a hair line fracture. What an absolute disappointment. I felt like a first prize chop. Eon, I sincerely apologise for this, especially the fact that you drove so far. I'm lookig for petrol and matches at the moment.

Thanks Grebel - appreciate you taking the time to reply.

Thanks Scotty - I couldn't agree more. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks Mojoman - in my experience this seems to be the trend for newcomers to the sport. Very disappointing indeed as I'm passionate about cycling and always encouraging people to try it out.

Great - thanks for the feedback. Amongst your cycling friends, would you say the trend is more to shop on line?

Thank you for the feedback. Question - if purchasing via a website, what would your expectations be?

Brilliant - I appreciate the open and honest feedback.

Hi The Customer Experience: - I'd like to reach out to the cycling community and call on as many of you as possible to define your understaning of an unforgettable customer experience. Cycling is a fantastic sport (MTB & Road) and best of all you can include the whole family. The sport is growing at a phenominal rate and bikes, spares and clothing don't come cheap. I often read about poor customer service but at the same time there are cycle shops who deliver great service. When parting with your hard earned cash - what are your expectations? What in your mind does it mean to go the extra mile to win the business? Thanks

Very very sad - condolences to the family.

Guys & Girls Really great to see you enjoyed it so much. I work for the big yellow and was hosting one our clients. Do you guys remember Team Slick (the 2 guys who rode with slicks and normal shorts)? No surprise they couldn't make Sunday.

Hi Rusty Riding Kingskloof this Sat @ 7.30 if you'd like to join. Let me know.

Thanks - much appreciated.
