  1. Press fit BB or bearings, threaded rod, sockets and old bearings......I seldom need a bike shop other than wheel trying and for suspension it's Jakes at Shockingly Good Bicycle Service
  2. Agree fully re Jakes/SGB. He's the ONLY suspension guy.
  3. I started a Small Claims Court Procedure for a motor vehicle accident as we were clearly the innocent party and there was some doubt over the other party. They were very efficient, certainly at the outset and it's a very simple procedure that starts with you getting a claim to him that he has x period to pay. After that you summons him and it starts. Good luck and deal with the scamster!
  4. I often see these comments about claiming for a product failure on insurance.....how does that work? I'm insured on specified all risk/out and about yet they will only cover accidental (not incidental) damage ....
  5. I've got the same one .....I constantly get bugged by flies on climbs here in JHB when I'm riding slowly....I reckon flies mistake it for a cow Pat....😆 I kid you not. Nice noble gesture, good on you.
  6. I dabbled in making my own, laser cut and out of the correct material, Matt one side and smooth the other, I forget the name of the material.....I had a contact for printing but that was a favour. Someone who does corporate gift etc printing should be able todothe printing. A decal wont stay stuck due to sun on the black and the curve etc. Better to get it printed. If you need just one blank I might still have one?
  7. Could be that the mech or hanger were already bent as OP had a slippage issue. At the minimum they should fit chain correctly and attempt to bend things straight - not sure they owe him a new RD though....... I know it's not Friday but I tend to shy away when I see a bike upside down 😁
  8. Is that chain even through the cage??
  9. I'm dealing with an issue through Capitec where I paid for something on my card. They can try to reverse it 30 days after via (Visa I think). Not sure about your curcumstances
  10. First service should be free. Another reason to learn to do your own spannering as much as possible but I get that a newbie or some less inclined can't always do that.
  11. Spent a year in the Navy in Durban.....going to Waai Pozi was going home....😀
  12. Thanks Dexter, I'm in Fourways....I'v Ive bought the Marvel stuff from CL. The Birzman is nice, almost rubbery but this should work.
  13. I'm not sure that auto wrapping will be thick enough as I've used that in the past and thus my liking the Birzman bike protection material, unfortunately I've used all of mine and moved house and probably lost the last small prices in the clean out. The Birzman material almost has a rubbery-ness about it that I like as it can absorb s small knock. Gorilla tape maybe ditto. Cost wise the Marvel stuff is not much more so that's where I'm headed I guess. Thanks so far 💪
  14. I've only ever ridden scintered on my Sram brakes. I've ridden OEM and aftermarket and never had noise or effectiveness issues. I fit them then ride them down a bit of a slope, grabbing medium hard for a short distance, then releasing for a bit and repeating 3 or 4 times and I'm done.
  15. If all else fails I might just flgo this route at CL.... https://www.cyclelab.com/product/4003325-mguard-marvel-frame-protection-sticker
