1 bike, 2 sets of wheels.... Less hassle Yes is 1kg heavier than a pure road bike but you're spoiled for choice across bike brands these days. I went with the Giant Revolt and the geometry is similar to an endurance bike. I choose between 28c Tyres s or 42x Tyres depending on the ride You can play around with crank blade sizes as well.

If the Uber driver is paying you cash... He can collect with pleasure 😁

lets not move focus now boys... why cant the shop supply the most that they can to show that they have done enough to help... instead you move focus to SAPS... Realistically, did someone just walk in as take a bike? Surely the store should take some ownership around loosing a customers property Yes there is no need to replace the bike as the customer has signed the little piece of paper... Store is still hiding behind that little piece of paper though

Signing a disclaimer is one aspect... Sadly your bike is gone Does the shop not have CCTV footage? Would be interested to know if the staff were investigated? Everyone feels f@k@l until it's their bike that goes missing... Then the thread would read very differently If I was you, make it the cops issue to investigate throughly This won't guarantee your bike back or replaced but hopefully it will make the shop owners a bit more responsible to ensuse better security measures

try this one.... Sportsmans warehouse of all places though https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/polisport-s-mud-guard-c1133799?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvcb02aiZ7AIVkOvtCh1fcA_LEAQYBSABEgI0wfD_BwE

Many stores in the south have a donation box available in store. (ie) Olympic or Crown Cycles bot have these and are affiliated to one other upliftment project

Silverback undoubtedly

Depending on the geometry you pref... Have a look at the Giant Defy Endurance Geometry with hydraulic disc brakes

Giant Revolt Extremely versatile. Doubles quite nicely as a road bike vs gravel grinder. The frame allows for 700x45c tyres as well. I've got a 2nd wheel set for the days I decide to be a bit of a roadie. I see that Giant now offers a wider range to choose from a (Alu and Carbon) in the 2020 models

Tried Ryder some time back and wasnt happy with it... Been using Enduro Seal, no issues, seals holes immediately

Giant Revolt 2019 Will take 45c tyres, no problem Holds 3x bottle cages Holes in the frame to accommodate panniers

Been dabbling with these gravel bikes since early 2015... Got told how it will never take off and its a waste I'm of the view that most Hard tail 29er riders should have probably chosen a Gravel Bike as they aren't exactly MTBing. In the same way may people on a road bike would like to have much fatter tyres and versatility other that a max of 28c So really interesting view point that it doesn't work... But for the non-racer both on MTB & Road, does it really matter what the "norm" is? I've read how eBikes are also frowned upon, but actually so what. Cycling like everything else is a personal choice, and so with the accessories along with it. The more options the merrier As long as we have options

So... Right now the Rand isn't wow hence the higher cost These things are largely dependent on the prevailing exchange rate In the event the Rand strengthens, you can scoop up some great deals At the moment its cheaper to look at local specials rather than international websites. But... In a months time it could be different
