PHIL BUYS SPORTS

Well seeing as I stood no chance of getting the real deal I accidently got my own SSWC tattoo...

Also ran the hope Pro 2 hubs and loved every minute of it. Only fault I found was that the freewheel body was quite soft and that the cassette bit into it. Attached is a pic. Have seen a lot of these hubs doing that. Also explore the White Industry hubs, awesome!!! Contact is Ruan from SpokeWorks. spokeworks@iburst.co.za

Rocky! Lemme know can organise you one

Also got my GC tickets today. SOOO stoked!!! Not too keen for Die Antwoord opening show but hey suppose it comes with the package...

Check seconds 16-26...

Also read that article, also not keen on converting 26" bikes but not going to say no if my customer wants it... And clearance on these two models are more than enough!!

I am going for the pre-party, beerstops and afterparty, gonna be one SICK weekend!!! Maybe gonna use my Monsterbike...

NICE!!! You riding sswc? perfect machine for that!

I am looking for a nice chainguide any advise on where I can source one? Something like this...

That is beautiful!!! Do you run a tensioner on there or what ratio do you ride?

I've also ran into this problem... The work of a local supplier is to SUPPLY and carry enough stock so we as retailers can supply to the public... The customers doesn't **** on the suppliers head but on mine! To be honest how can you run out of 10spd chainrings, 10spd chains, 10spd powerlocks... We started our own shop with our own capital, no massive corporate sponser/involvement and thus carrying 10/20 items of each chainring or chain is not possible. We carry enough of everything to last us +-a week but if your supplier hasn't had stock for over a month of the basic essentials how do they suppose we keep clients happy... In that case I fully understand why some people prefer shopping from over da ocean...
