    Why reply?

    Maybe you can try do a punt - maybe have more luck than punt did. So what was the upshot of that little lot with punt?
  2. I think if a business is purely about turnover then it is very short sighted!!Yes' date=' a business needs to make money to survive, but pushing turnover and neglecting service & ethics, then that business will not last.SERVICE SERVICE SERVICE, in these trying times it is not just about price, but how a supplier deals with you![/quote'] With so many brands to choose from and so many people peddling these items it is now SERVICE or lack thereof that is the decider most of the time. Prices rarely come into it as they are pretty standard everywhere give or take a few rand.
  3. I likes them too. Should be an option in the poll.
  4. Still confused - same story my wife blabbers at me when I ask her. Oh well thanks for trying but......
  5. Yummy??? WTF my wife says the same thing about Christian Bale. I thought yummy was a term used when referring to nice sweets or similar.

  7. had exactly the same thing last week - took it to the bike shop and they sorted it out - something about tightening cones or some such. Edit to fix spelling - dammit - seems to be getting worse. Mutt2009-05-27 06:41:17
  8. I paid R5050 with Cadence, HR & sa streetmaps from expansys. i think it was www.expansys.co.za That was about 1 1/2 months ago. Make sure they quote you on a locally sourced one!Mutt2009-05-26 07:21:21
  9. nope. downloading to where? Use Garmin Connect and UPLOAD. better info than that packaged app that comes with it.
  10. If any shop, not only cycling related, wants to have a relationship with my bank card then at least be friendly, helpful, have at least some of the stuffs I want etc... Having said that I have been buying from 2 Cycle Shops and at the one I spend the most at they know my name and greet me with a smile when I walk in. They don't stock all the stuffs I want so thats why the second bike shop. They don't know me but do greet me with a friendly attitude and offer assistance when you enter their establishment and take the time to advise me on stuffs.
  11. Seems the verso is popular so far. Are you looking to buy new? Monthly payment.
  12. Thanks all for your answers. I have wanted to remove my chain for a thorough cleaning a few time but was worried about rejoining. I will get some more quick links and give this a try! Whats the worst that happens? Should we look for specific ones or are the 9 rand ones fine.
  13. ok - if i carried on reading I would see my answer.
  14. *Mini hijack - sort of* I have one of these quick links in my stuffs - Is it strong enough to take the strain of regular use? I was always of the opinion it was a quick fix to get out of a bnd and back to your home / car. Suppose my question is - Are they really good enough to use continually? (PS. I think they cost me 9 bucks or something - It is 2 identical halves which slot together.)
  15. There will always be something to endanger other riders. Between dodging empty gel packets, mp3 player users, under skilled riders, substandard bikes etc...... Whats the percentage of MP3 player users - it is not too common in my experience. Hell every crash I had so far can only be blamed on my own lack of concentration. Ride away from them and if you cant slow down so they can ride away from you - whats it matter when we are racing for 138th place anyway? I do see the original posters point of view but am getting increasingly worked up over regulation / over regulation / loss of freedom etc. It is starting to get like George Orwell's 1984. Big Brother is watching. Live and let live
  16. vere iz ze gestapo - zis man is exercising his right to make his own decisions!! I don't use one but am not commie enough to try stop others.
  17. i want one too. Years ago a kid down the road got one and all i had was some dhc or whatever it was. I remember trying to persuede my dad to get me a chopper - alas - no go.
  18. I read my buddy's MBUK. much better. and by the way, the subscription was done on the discovery option, hence no free anything. wtf. For normal subs they gave away a deuter hydration pack but without the bladder . Then it is simply a pack and NOT a hydration pack is it not?
  19. ? Is he still looking for change? Word is he is looking for anything but chicken! Oh and a bit of woodwork knowledge.
  20. Yes it is relatively easy to have more than 1 vote but it is a real grind. Mutt2009-04-27 09:01:33
  21. I am lank scared of JHB town. I will need to get there in my car and I am attached to my car - I still want it. Oh and my life and bike too!
  22. and the next on in cresta or nearby is when?
