  1. 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.
  2. If the Uber driver is paying you cash... He can collect with pleasure 😁
  3. +27828022183 Give Irma a buzz.
  4. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/watches-and-wearables/491639/garmin-forerunner-35-polar-m400
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. try this one.... Sportsmans warehouse of all places though https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/polisport-s-mud-guard-c1133799?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvcb02aiZ7AIVkOvtCh1fcA_LEAQYBSABEgI0wfD_BwE
  8. 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
  9. Silverback undoubtedly
  10. Depending on the geometry you pref... Have a look at the Giant Defy Endurance Geometry with hydraulic disc brakes
  11. 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
  12. Tried Ryder some time back and wasnt happy with it... Been using Enduro Seal, no issues, seals holes immediately
  13. Giant Revolt 2019 Will take 45c tyres, no problem Holds 3x bottle cages Holes in the frame to accommodate panniers
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. Bummer. Probably worth leaving us leaving a set of flats an pedal tool in the car ????
  17. ????Finally. Will definitely be doing this????
  18. Sadly this happens Troll him and bad-tag any/all he's ads if he ever gets to use Bikehub again He will soon get the picture
  19. Parrot Zik 3's... Got a pair of these and works very well
  20. Watch out at Masepumela (spelling) just behind Longbeach Mall, Sunvalley, Fishoek. But buddy got mugged at about 3pm yesterday. Guy confronted him at knife point and took he's cellphone. Loads of pedestrians and vehicles passing at the petrol station. Fortunately unharmed and survived with he's life and bike. Suppose people out there are just so used to this type of thing thus become desensitized to the reality around them. Be vigilant out there!
  21. It really depend what you want to spend Some of the cable versions are really good and as effective as the hydraulic brakes. That said, hydraulic range varies considerably as well
  22. I'm riding the Giant Anyroad 2017, very relaxed geometry. 40c tubeless tyres of the OEM wheels ZTR 29er wheels, where swop between 32c or 28c tyres depending on the intended ride. 50/38 crank, with 11/32 cassette. 10speed. Excellent all round bike Also have the Giant Fastroad.(flat bar). Somewhat similar but different. Both can handle the dirt & give the roadies some horns as well. Giant have a few gravel bikes in reasonable spec Anyroad (aluXX & carbon frames) Fastroad (aluXX & carbon frames) TCX (aluXX frame) Have a look the Comax versions in all 3, just under R30k
