  1. These people/ resellers are actually ruining the second hand bicycle market. Every well priced bike gets purchased, goes get washed and then put up for sale at 20% min markup. This slowly makes the 2nd hand market overpriced and in the long run starts making an already expensive sport even less accessible to the "bellow average Joe" and as there is no longer a bargain if you keep you're eye open either don't get started or leave the sport.
  2. although you're right but not every bike needs a major overall. You've offered me 50% less of what i was wanting on a road bike that was in borderline brand new condition and priced competitively (dont argue with me on this as i work in the industry and the bike sold in less than a week at the price i wanted). at the same time you're being annoying and insulting when you keep low balling over and over on every decent bike that is for sale
  3. they should be serviceable, my trials bike one also packet up and opened it up replaced the bearing, gave a good clean and regrease. you might need special tools
  4. I'm currently using ONZA Grava and they are beautiful all round gravel bike tire. Crafted Cycles in Port Elizabeth are the distributors. They do black and even do a very cool retro white tire,
  5. if you're the original owner and within 2 years it is covered by warranty.
  6. Unfortunately road raving is on a downward spiral. MTB pro racing has a bigger following than road. The big mtb event's pay for media crew including a helicopter to be there as it draws sponsors and follower's to the event.
  7. From what I heard it was heavy negative racing in the elite men's bunch. Riders ganging up and kept on blocking Alan, Stefan and Reinardt. No one did their turnsnon the front except those 3
  8. specialized epics, pyga stage as they both can take 2 bottle cages both of those you can run 120mm up front to get that more modern travel setup
  9. send me a message please
  10. The reason being is the brand Manager for Signal bikes has moved over to a different company and is now the brand Manager for a different bike brand in SA. Because of this I think they couldn't get the ball rolling to place orders at the factory in a good time frame
  11. My suggestion is afterwards ask a bike shop to wash and box the bikes for them wile they are away
  12. Just order the lockout interface. Your local bike shop will be able to sort you out.
  13. Have a look at the connection pins. Take the battery off and you'll see 2 gold pins that are spring loaded. It's pretty common for the spring to break off inside them. Best is try a good electronic cellphone shop
  14. Try Ridgeway Cycles, speak to Andre he use to do alot of Ironman bikes when he use to live in Port Elizabeth for IM SA. Tell him Jamie from PE sent you.
  15. A TT Bike is a very finicky bike with all the integrations, fairings and getting the cabling 100s
