Under the consumer protection act is the customer entitled to a refund?

Esoecially when you're drooling over it back home! 🙂

My Dad is about to turn 101. His last Argus was at age 91 odd. The record for the oldest Argus competitor is held by another guy but his was on the back of a Tandem, while my Dad at 93 pedalled himself around the peninsula on his Trek 10 speed roadbike, so to me he holds the record! Not many of us will be able to match this..... I think he still did a 947 2 years later.

Like they say, to slow down you use the back, to stop the front? I use both and 3 years ago when someone strung a wire fence across my favourite twisties I swear I locked up both wheels before hitting the fence and going @ over kettle..... I like to use one finger per lever (oh boy, never admit that on a public forum) but there again, thank God so does my Urologist! Signed: A Prostate Cancer Survivor

Or an arrogant, lazy LBS like I experienced....🙂

About 8 or 10 years ago I bought few-weeks-old Scott 10sp roadbike that had done literally 200km, from Cajees for about 7k. And I could pay it over 2 months ... A year or so later I sold it for R500 more than they were going for new....if you were from Fourways and bought a mint black Scotty from me....sorry....but I REALLY look after my stuff. Trek USPS 5200....I paid R15800 and 2 years later sold it for 16k.....those were the TRUE bubble years when Trek SA (Anton and? forget their name)couldn't unpack the containers fast enough....😬

My sister in law goes through cassettes and chains rather rapidly....too much assist and not enough cadence?

I'd LOVE to know the LBS. You're sure it's not one of those roadside exhaust repairers with the gas bottles and car Ramps? Frightening. I ride Sram Level TLM which were replaced TWICE under warranty. My (no longer) LBS used to answer my question as to why the rear brakes didn't have that bitey feel on the lever like the fronts with "it's due to the longer hose". I learned from YouTube and bought the Sram Bleeding Edge tool and they now feel identical! Good Luck! 🙂

And you know how you've treated it vs the great unknown but I hear you.

I'd be super scared to buy a used e-bike....imagine having to fork big bucks on a new battery soon after? Are warrantys transferable? I doubt batteries get more than minimal cover? These days warrantys are against "manufacturing defects" which is such a grey area and difficult to prove.

I'm liking the above drill method. I use Enduroseal and gave albeit with some elbow grease used Benzine but it's dangerous stuff and apparently bad for your liver through skin contact.

By mini you mean you've compressed it?

Thanks. I had flat bar from Rapide but didn't like the sweep which affected feeling. What benefit would the riser provide? PS: Wide flat bars look cool.....🙂

I have a circa 2015 Adrenalin 29" and am considering trying the trend to a shorter stem to see how it will affect handling, primarily turn in, if at all. I understand that stem length is a comfort or bike fit thing but also that as per my 1st stem which was was like having a long "tiller" in front of your steerer. I have gone to a 65mm stem with a Deda flat 780mm bar which feels fine but would like to know if even shorter, say 45mm would be "too short"? Is head angle a factor and particularly on my slightly older bike which is pre- the modern trend of longer, lower, slacker? Thanks

So sad man, if that's what happened it's going to mean the children lose another parent, well for a long time, maybe forever. I've not been a fan since he walked off the tdf and I've seen him quoted as admitting he has a short fuse. Apparently there's door cam footage so the truth will be known.

As per above, did you try putting battery in upside down to reset?

I hope it IS just a tragic accident but given the time of day (around 20:00) and what's now being alleged about bonnets and door handles, you need only refer back to some of his temper tantrums and and the landscape changes. Whatever emerges, the death of a mother, wife, sister, daughter - is tragic beyond belief.

I think that the bubble has burst and that the shortages we experienced were due to extended COVID catchup and the war in Ukraine to an extent, yet many in the market tried to say shortages were due to high demand. I'm not buying that and I don't think the local market as in bike shops has cottoned on. I'd hate to be a bike shop trying to sell bikes right now to pay the rent......Add to that the fact that Cyclelab who have deep pockets seem to want to distribute most of the brands makes it even harder......

Combination of above posts. APPARENTLY if you put the new battery in too quickly, the sensor can get an overcurrent or whatever passes for that in something so small. Rectified by putting battery in the wrong way around to reset and try again. Had a family member have Ant+ stop working on a Wattbike/Garmin strap (BlueTeeth were all present) only to find pairing as per instruction manual didn't work and had to use a method from Google.....

If you wipe it with a clean cloth and the marks are still there then I'd say there is a major problem. I would park it and get the bike shop to solve under warranty. My new RS fork had a lot of stiction and appeared to have less oil than it should from new so anything's possible?

couldn't agree more. See below thread....

I'm not understanding, did he get out the car and plan on throwing the rock at you? Unprovoked? If so he's a complete mental case.

Had a baddish one on my last Ride....big truck passed me and with deep dish wheels it was a nervy second ...

Also a good idea to cut a tiny peiece off the end of the hose to make sure the new head fits before buying, as we know, all hoses are not created equal! 🙂

I've had 2 pumps fail in that when pumping my road bike tyre to around 7 bar the head pops off the valve. Some fixes suggest replacing the o ring but no joy. I found this pump head at Decathlon and despite being skeptical it works 100% and it's good value at R159.00 considering the price of a new pump.
