[Dropout for an Ellsworth Epiphany]

Looking for a needle in a haystack here ladies & gents. Bike fell over and has bent the hanger (has a small crack in it) have managed to set the gears but its not going to last. Any help will be appreciated.  Photo of the hanger is below. 

[Bike Rack]

Holdfast is a great brand aswell. Spares are locally available aswell. Don't skimp on a cheap bike rack, not going to look pretty heading down the highway at 120km/h and the rack decides to take a leave of absence. 

 

Even check on the Hub for a decent Secondhand carrier

I have made both the "old" version as well as "new" one work on my phone.

I assume Iphone as its available on Android in SA. On Iphone you need to create a US apple account and sign in to your app store with that account. download the app and then you can sign back in to your proper apple account again. app will then work and update as intended

Hi Christiaan can you post a link of the correct app please, I'm using an Android phone.

[Trying to get hold of the Black Spade agent]

Hey Guys. Thanks for the input. Engineer around the corner from our shop, made a shim of the current sized seatpost. Welded the bracket and fits snug. Needs a dash of black spray paint. Hoping it holds until we can find a suitable replacement. 

[Trying to get hold of the Black Spade agent]

Thanks gents, Gert did get back to me and the measurements are different to the above photo. Ritchey dont have anything similar in SA. Will check with Scott Sports and see if anything come close to that. 

[Trying to get hold of the Black Spade agent]

Good day,

 

Does anybody know who the Black Spade agent/wholesaler is or was? Got a customer with a TT Black spade that overtightened the seatpost clamp and it snapped.  Bike is pretty much un-rideable at this stage. Have taken it to an engineer to see if they could repair but its taking so long. 

 

Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

[Titan Cypher RS Expert Carbon (2020)]

I'm in the bike industry and know the Titan guys pretty well. I asked them if i could test out one of the new Cyphers, i got the Cypher Pro carbon. I was lucky enough to have it for 3 weeks and boy was i surprised. The 120mm Reba fork was ample travel , dropper post, carbon wheels, the whole bangshoot. The bike climbs great and descending even better. It really is a great bike and compared to other bikes $$$$ you not going to get better value. Titans after service is great aswell.

[Garmin 510 screen not responding]

My Garmin 510 gave me hassles eventually also buying it off a fellow Hubber. I sent it off to Garmin which they couldn't repair and they offered me a new 520 bundle deal. Think i paid around R2k at that stage which was well worth it. This was around 14mths ago. So the price could be a slightly more...  The 520 is a decent unit and very user friendly. 

[HELP PLEASE - ADVICE ON NEW FULL SUS XC BIKE]

Hi Guys

 

Some sage advice needed please on deciding on a new bike. 

 

Firstly I am looking for an XC bike for likes of Sani2C, Berg & Bush etc. I am 58 and not a racing snake.

My budget is R45k.

I was riding a Silverback Mercury dual sus until the frame broke on /sani this year. weighed in at 14kgs so on the heavy side

 

So I have narrowed it down to:

 

Lapierre SR 629 - R41 500 - on special from the agents

https://bike-addict.co.za/products/lapierre-xr629-2017

 

Cannondale SI 4 Carbon - R40 500 @ Bike Addict - worried about the availability of Cannondale proprietary parts 

https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/cannondale-29er-dual-suspension/products/cannondale-si-carbon-4-2018

 

Merida Ninety Six - XT - R40 000

https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/clearance/products/merida-ninety-six-xt-2018

 

Any other suggestions?

 

Your advice/comments would be greatly appreciated

PM me. Can do you a great deal on a Giant Anthem 1 2018 model.

Try a Shimano chain. With the E-thirteen cassette i found the SRAM chain to wide and caused shifting/grinding issues.

[Trails near Fish River]

Hi.

 

Take your bike with. There is a 2 day race that happens there every year, so there are trails. Mpekweni beach resort which is about 15kms away has some of the best trails/singletrack in the region.
