I've sent the details to the OP on WhatsApp. Hopefully he came right with it.. 🙏🙏

Probably was insured (Very expensive bike) but either way these guys need to be dealt with or they'll just keep harming cyclists and others. R15000 is quite a sum for 5min of work (Knocking someone off a bike 😡)

Check this out. I think I may have found your bike on Market place https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3512776598955907/?mibextid=dXMIcH

I disagree with your statement here.. As most of us are selling second hand items and lets face it we all have different characters.. ( Example: I advertise a second hand seatpost that has one tiny little abrasion maybe a 3mm long {not a scratch}.. To me the seatpost is in an excellent condition for second hand. But when the buyer receives it across the country his expectation of excellent condition is 100% scratch free { in other words as good as new} .. This kind of thing can go on and on.. So always best to check out the item yourself or have someone check it out for you.. ( My 2c's )

Thanks Patch 100% agreed. Already asked for his bank details on this thread and also contacted him personally asking for bank details. No response though.. Lets hope for the best with this and that he stays a happy rider.. .. Ciao peeps...

So for me the most important lesson learnt here ( Everyone please take heed of this ) is that when selling something to a buyer from another province, the buyer must send a friend to inspect that the item is 100% as advertised. If the friend is happy then the deal can proceed.. Also now understand why many sellers advertise as local collection only.. . I think that's the safest route..? But when you're selling a fairly good deal you also want to give fellow hubbers across the board the opportunity to get in on the good deal and when you don't, they complain.. So what do you do then when they cant send a friend..?

No comms man.. Was just a favour for a friend.. ...

All i can say is that this has been a great big lesson for me.

I'm hating this lockring right now!!!

This is an affordable solution for both myself and the seller.. R500 or even R800 for a good second hand Freehub that will work..

So i should sell my car to refund the wheels then?? fantastic solution. Why didnt i think of that??

Can anyone please give me a guideline for the costs involved in getting a hub that will work or the costs on machining?? I'm certain with the help of some fellow hubbers we can sort this out. Unfortunately my buddy is not a hubber... . I've heard machining costs under R500.. A good condition second hand freehub that will work? ( Cost anyone? ) Would be much appreciated.

Ya. i didn't say he defamed me ( on this site ).. He did however in the whatsapp messages accuse me of cheating him and shafting him.. If thats what you mean? Anyway, as said before if he had let me know within the same frame period of receiving the wheels that they were not right then i could possibly have stopped the seller from spending the money.. but almost 3 weeks later if the money is spent then what can be done.. If neither the seller nor myself have the cash to solve this problem then what..? No one on this site knows what any other person's personal circumstances are so its quite easy for a guy with big pockets to say, just pay the buyer back its not his problem.. So i'm open to suggestions to resolving this issue so we can all be happy..

Yes i understand this.. Where the problem really comes in here is that the buyer only made us aware that the cassette doesn't fit almost 3 weeks after the transaction took place. Surely within those 3 weeks the cash would've been spent. And no i wasn't pushing blame. I stand for my mistakes.. Personally i think this was more of a technical misunderstanding that happened here.. I only sold what i saw.. and i saw an 11's cassette fit onto the wheel set.. And this is where the problem came in..
