  1. why would you say Rambo? are you Rambo? no i haven't been bike jacked and don't hope to be. i have been mugged though at magnolia dell in pta in daylight by a few locals. i got out of that. On the bike the difference is the speed involved and where the hands are. society is becoming increasingly violent and brazen and this is the concern. also i mentioned once one is off the mtb when you have control of your hands and things have slowed down if they're still coming for you that's my point which you chose to ignore and went on your macho rant about shooting every pedestrian.
  2. ya for me its if you have been knocked off the bike and they take it- it is insured= then still come for you then you need the f/arm for self defence. these okes can be cruel drugged violent etc not everyone thinks the same or has same morals. not all cultures are equal tha'ts bs far left theory being proved wrong in europe daily. anyway.
  3. well how do you know they do not wanna murder you? they do not care- they will kill you for your bike- the long sentence? you just said courts are full and they get a wrist slap so what long sentence?
  4. AGREED- pet peave of mine as I love nature trees animals. Urbanisation needs to keep green lungs intact- in the USA they keep central park intact just an example- sad to see the green areas inside a city become smaller and smaller.
  5. Guys any advice as to whether it is worth getting the entry level Insta360 Nano?
  6. Pity you had to experience this. I have bought and sold many items on Bikehub and FB MP and I believe in honesty and good pricing. I sell items quickly due to good/value/low pricing and accurately describe the items. Anything brand new must be unused or kinda used once. Else it is not brand new or new- it is used. They misled you IMHO which is not cool. Karma sorts out people like that. A red flag for me is this "my wife only wore it for a few training sessions"- that tells me it is neither brand new nor new- it is a used item probably worn for quite a few sessions. The marks on the strap (after you received it) bear this out - however the scratch on the screen is a biggie and this watch is NOT new in any sense! that scratch should have been clearly indicated in the ad and with a pic of the scratch. Whoever the seller is, thumbs down.
  7. I tried the Garmin Instinct Solar- just wanted to say that it does charge the battery on this model, it's like a functional battery solar gps G-shock watch.
  8. Okay thanks that is helpful- I wasn't able to find that information So it seems I'll be okay sticking with these hubs, thanks guys for the comprehensive info!
  9. So specs should be- F- Giant Tracker Performance Boost 15x110, sealed bearing [R] - Giant Tracker Giant Sport QR141, loose ball What I got instead is: F- shimano FH-MT410 R- Shimano FH-MT401
  10. So I bought a new bike and the specs of the bike online said the front hub is a sealed Giant unit. In the bike shop I checked all specs except the hubs for some reason (trusted the web specs). Then I see the front hub is not a sealed unit and not a Giant hub either. (The rear hub is also not a Giant hub, different to the web specs) Dragons sports are the guys to contact and Gavin Salt tells me they made a running change and on dragon's website it is stated that the front hub is a non sealed unit and not a Giant hub. I didn't even think to check dragon's site beforehand to check for specs. Kinda disappointing. Gavin basically said it makes no difference and if I want a sealed hub I must wait until next year and then there may be rotor compatibility issues. Any thoughts on this from anyone who knows more than I do? And how much better is a sealed hub?
  11. Wow,.. Talk about karma.. sheesh... Modderfontein used to be called a Nature Reserve The signs and wording now just say Modderfontein Reserve The word Nature has been deleted... They also have removed many of the larger animals out of the reserve...
  12. Rode green today, been extended to 22km with the addition of the river section - awesome. The river section has extra distance too which is great. Nice ride. Well done.
  13. ...and sewage!

  15. So its a real oke. With a real workshop. Who just happened to forget the difference between a 650b and 29 fork. Who just happened to forget about the thru axle. But was happy to take your money and then send the fork and is happy to mess you around for days. This is 1 dodgy oke, he must refund you and then you send him his fork.
