Her location is also pretty cool, I drove through from Hermanus with the family and while i was being fitted they had a nice lunch and the kids had a jol at the play area.

Never been more comfortable on a bike since my fitment....

Chubba I can reccomend https://irmfit.co.za/ - Irma.

CLASSIC

Currently running GX Eagle 1x12 on the DS. Personally I found I needed a bit more on the high end of the cassette for some of my riding. Still have the 1x10 setup on my carbon Zaskar HT (SRAM X9 rear mech, SRAM cassette, SRAM chain and Rapide 32 Oval NW upfront) which I still ride? Never needed the GOAT Link as the SRAM mech coped.

Ran a 1x46 ten speed setup for a while - very possible to do as mentioned by the other guys.

its pretty sad though as he has just started up his shop / retail outlet and I really wanted to support the guy as much as possible, I have sent a number of my cycling mates his way, but yeah I'm dissapointed by them (him and his son). About a month ago I needed to fit a crown race and took it past them to do for me, crown race and fork was in the car and I happened to be driving past, so ANY excuse to stop at a bike shop. His son fitted the crown race with a BB tool (that half moon one for the shimano external BB) and ended up gauging the thing like you have now idea. Looked like it had been on a date with a chainsaw, had a similar discussion as with the ratchet system with his son who said if I wanted a new crown race I would have to pay for it. Conrad was around and overheard us and said it was cool, and replaced the crown race FOC. Anyway, onwards and upwards.

this pic really does make me just want to hop on the bike and ride.... do the things that make you smile and love....

Ok so to conclude, Gavin has just left my place, he replaced both ratchet systems which was very unexpected as I only expected him to replace the broken one. Big thumbs up to Gavin, I am a client for life. Now if someone could explain to me - in like bullet point form - how to edit the titel of this post, that would be great.

i did not notice them the previous weekend, we cycled past there at about 8am on Sunday morning and yeah, the number of unopened cans was insane....

Sorry for the hijack which is slightly off topic, but did anyone else notice the crazy number of Hansa beer cans just after Virgin active on the way up to Emmerentia. The place was littered with empty cans but what I was really shocked by was that there must have been around 40 unopened six packs scattered everywhere. I am guessing a nearby bottle store got hit recently.

Gavin has certainly held the LG flag very high......

C4 Cycles in Randpark Ridge, located in the shopping centre between CR Swart and Ysterhout on Beyers Naude

my IT skills fail me, have no clue how to do that,

a lesson I learnt very early in my retail days, no matter how big or small the issue, no matter how much or how little the customer spends, a happy customer is a customer for life.

indeed, better known as customer service, sadly something that eludes most people in the service industry...

Morning Hubbers, so I sent Gavin an email last night and at 07h30 this morning I got the following response from him: Hi , from what I can see the shoes look in good condition to me. I will be in RandPark Ridge area myself on Tuesday next week. If you give me your exact address I will bring a spare ratchet with me so I can fit it for you. Regards, Gavin Richardson FiTsportslab Pity the bike shop did not adopt the same approach, they would not have lost a customer.

is you mate looking to buy new or seconhand? seconhand, I am pretty sure you will find a very nicely specced bike right here on the hubs classifieds. New, I agree with ScottC-M, a Momsen is you best value for money bike and comes decently specced.

Indeed, but like I have said on multiple occassions, its not about the R50 - its the principle of the matter. I actually wonder how different the responses would be had I not mentioned that I paid R50 for the SIDI buckles??

pic as promised I am sure you will agree that the shoes are pretty much brand new, barring some dust from this past Saturdays race. The two pics of the ratchet system. Please note that the ratchet system on the shoe in the first pic is the replacement SIDI ones I paid R50 for.

in one of my earlier posts, I inserted the response from FiT, they want pics, original invoice, and bike shop details - and will decide if it is a warrenty claim or not. what I make of this is that is the buckle is all scuffed and scratched, then that is possible abuse and sorry but no cigar. will post pics....

RESPONSE: Hi , thank you for your email. We will gladly assist you in one way or the other. All we need to ascertain whether the ratchet is covered under a warranty claim or not is like you said, a clear photo of the shoes, a photo of the ratchet as well as a clear photo of the ratchet system area on the left/right shoe which it broke on. We will then be able to make an accurate decision. Where are you based and which store did you purchase your shoes from? I will also be able to ascertain from the photos which model of shoes you have as the heading mentions 2 different models of shoes...Montana XT3 and T-Flex which is a Carbon model.
