  3. I am a roadie with OCD , I wash my bike every week , clean and lube drive terrain every week , keeps the bike in good running order I cant handle a dirty bike , thats why I wont do Mtb I really respect you guys. I have washed my bike 3 times after the last 3 rides due to riding in heavy fog and some rain , cant handle that black brake gunk that gets every where Keep it clean guys Safe cycling
  4. I am fortunate to have found a friend who is a machanic in his spare time (he qualifid as one)He now fixes my whole familys cars and is honest , believe it or not , cost is a fraction of "bloody agents" These Agents rip you off whole sale , he (the mackie) has told me plenty stories of guys been quoted outragous amounts for simple jobs , especially women In the defence of the agents they have to pay HUGE rent for their fancy showrooms and premisis , but still no reason to rip off the public , SHAME ON YOU
  5. Just want to give a BIG to Linden cycles I went there to sort out my d'arcs glasses as I broke one arm , was helped by the owner who replaced both arms and when I offered to pay he said " have a nice day" , What a guy , there wher also plenty on young gys eager to help me while I was browsing the shop. Well done Linden
  6. I rate Dunkeld cycles , machie mike is awesome , he rebuilt my bike , replaced head set bearings , really on the ball only had awesome service from Mark ,Merlyn and Jaques all of which are cyclists and have a wealth of knowledge.
  7. About 3 years ago I went to Cajees in fourways to by a moon shine light (topeak) , was quoted over the phone R1500.00 , went to buy it was marked at R3200.00 I told the guy I was quoted R1500.00 and thats what I paid , like it has been said , scary if you dont know your pricng , the unsuspecting consumer will be taken for a ride so to speak , he will pay for our bargaining
  8. WOW WOW WOW , that is HOT !! I wonder what the price will be ?

I recently replaced my shimano ulgera with SRAM force and boy am I impressed with SRAM The ear changes are quicker and smoother , the brakes are brilliant and rerally bite This is just my experience , fell free to add yours. I have not had the pleasure of riding Camy yet I hear It is also Brilliant
