that post wasn't going to bring the insight I'm hoping for and maybe too far off topic

Good point. All my projects were outside of warranty, so this didn't cross my mind at all! "authorized repaired", then "authorized painter", etc etc etc

I occasionally repair sell cars and motorbikes as a job on the side, so I'm well aware of inflated insurance quotes thank you very much. The rates I quoted are close estimates of what I'd be paying for a repair of my own of that nature.

nevermind

eeeeeyyy, I recognised that road immediately without seeing any cues! That road was stressful and I was just riding my mtb on the gravel dirt back then.

I would be very disgruntled and if my name was posted on a forum with accusations like these, even if they were proven to be true. What do you get out of posting his name (now everyone in the world can track him down) after those fair requests were made? Anyways, what's the car made of under that white paint? Gold leaf? The photos only show some dents and scratches on 2 panels - buy a panel for R2500 and a door for another R2500, R1000-2000 labour charge for assembly en voila. Was there more damage to the car not shown in the 2 photos posted prior? Because they still experienced a close encounter first hand that sounds like it could've been avoided had they kept a safe following distance... A donation would show empathy and sincerity from the company's side.

So what do you call white, indian and coloured people born on the african continent?

Nearly every time you post it's just a massive explosion of anger and entitlement. If your profile didn't say you're in Ireland, I'd suspect you of bashing in the car of this topic. I hope I never come across you on the road because you sound like the type of person that will kill a cyclist before driving responsively, defensively yourself.

I for one appreciate your due diligence in following up what appeared suspicious to you. Thank you for stepping outside of your comfort zone with the best intentions for other people's belongings and your write up was clear cut, answering a lot of assumptions made.

Everything I said in my post before that one. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/183441-giant-bike-spotted-in-parktown-north/?p=3554033 I would expect anyone to confront anyone else that is behaving or appears suspect. For those you validate what justifies suspect in their eyes based on race, they can just move along swiftly. If I'm pushing or riding a bike with my handmedown tekkies, a cap, and dirty clothes, I would expect no less than to be confronted in spite of my race. In fact, it'll be the exact discrimination I'm speaking out against here. Race is literally irrelevant when you look at particular points as exhibited in my previous post. See some, say something. See something, say something!

more direct link of the above: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/09/13/garmin_breach_notification/ Garmin says "This incident affected less than 6,700 customers in South Africa", heck, that's a lot of people!

Godwin called, he wants his wooden mic back. Yes, potentially getting killed is completely on par with rape and child abuse in my eyes - these crimes are despicable and damning. By your reasoning, you'd be upset with having your daughter raped or beaten but if she gets killed its okay. You don't come across as calm and collected as you must think you are? Your messages shouted outrage from the first post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

100% disagree

Hi Liesl. Please start a new thread. This thread is for discussion discovery products and stuff. You'll also get more hits starting a new thread as not everyone cares for vitality

Thank you for sharing those documents It seems like the VA may work out cheaper if you only use Vitality for the cheaper gym fees and not the rest of the benefits. I have some calculations to do! Oh, and I also see the VA specifically mentions Virgin Active RED gyms (up to 50%) which are excluded from the normal vitality (up to 75%), as far as I'm aware of the normally assigned vitality

The heck? You literally quote the part that implies blame on motorist. To copy what you said, "had to swerve to miss the rider in front of us who overtook the other riders and came in front of us". 1. The riders were in front of the motorist 2. The motorist didn't leave a safe passing distance because "they had to swerve" 3. The motorist was driving recklessly due to the implied passing distance in question. Do you also blame victims for getting raped? Children being beaten to death because the parents have anger issues? You also blame the cyclists for being in the road when a car plows into a 1 or even a group of 10 of them right, like how dare they legally use the roads?? You totally seem to defend that stereotype. "I'm sorry mister occifer, I killed these people because I was driving too fast with the load I'm pulling and didn't take the necessary precautions because, you know, braking with a trailer slows me down and I'd rather kill someone than slow down" There's obviously missing facts here, but you need to wake up if you think driving a car in a way that requires sudden swerving when next to unpredictable obstacles is safe practice. I honestly hope you don't have a motorvehicle license because you sound like a danger on the roads and your perception on safe driving is going to be the direct cause of innocent people getting killed.

- no helmet, gloves or any cycling attire - tekkies on clip-in pedals (nonsense, my bike with clip-in pedals is unrideable without the correct shoes as anything just slips off) - 2 bottle cages and rear reflector, so there's been some money spent on this bike, whether it is entry level or cheap in the reader's eyes are irrelevant. This bike could fetch R3000-R5000 2nd hand IMO and that's a lot for many people. - speed sensor visible on front wheel (again, money was spent), which implies the bike gets used for training purposes (in addition to commuting purposes) At the same time, I also wonder and would enjoy clarification as to why the post was made after credentials were "verified"? OP, do you believe they lied about the validity of the ownership? Anyone who immediately jumped to "is it because he's black??", is akin to a backwards human and you need to wake up to 2019. The ignorance and moral high ground rhetoric is weak and disgusting. Most racists I encounter are in fact the "defenders against racism". Lekker walking through life with a mindset limited by horse blinkers hey. When I'm out riding, I look at every bike and compare it to the rider's equipment - if they don't match, it raises suspicion. I appreciate reports like these as when the day comes that I get hijacked, I'll be hoping it's my bike that gets spotted in a situation like this.

I got to the part "had to swerve to miss the rider in front of us" and thought yeah, exactly as anticipated after reading post #1. Cager drivers recklessly, endanger fellow road users when they were seemingly at fault and comes to complain from the backlash of the person(s) life they endangered. That driver ought to forfeit their license, go for rehabilitation and the cyclist to maybe pay for damages. Okay byeeeeee

Not at all - garmin pay isn't linked with the garmin.co.za online shop... I have garmin pay and not the least worried. But yeah, garmin sa has incompetent service from my experience. I'm surprised they even responded to the claim, taking the site down, but not surprised by their "we don't give a feather" warning email!

Mr Capitan, would you be able to elaborate please? There's different types of vitality? I was under the impression that youre either "on it" or "off of it"

I'm helping a friend dust off their older 26" titan hardtail and he wants some minor upgrades done. Does anyone have a lekker 26" Rockshox Reba or similar air suspension fork lying around that they'd like to sell? I see there's one in the classifieds right now, but it is 29"

We can't exactly suggest best practice without a specific bike, but in this case, what Openmind said above is relevant and applies. For any other parts that need grease, anything should work really. When I worked on my bikes in PE I used marine grease (waterproof grease) which I bought at a random motorbike dealer, so still using the same tub up in Jhb. Really, any good grease should do and marine grease if you're finicky.

Normal customs apply. THe R28 is a PO clearance fee as I had to pay the same thing for special cable tie thingys. These are 0% duty items. If you buy clothes and stuff, I expect the 40% duty rate to apply.

Maybe its just be, but I don't particularly like to have to ask for a good price. I'd rather browse every shop I can find and award the cheapest shop with the sale. Advertise it right and you'll get even the most reluctant sales.

If it is cheaper than dischem, definitely a box (of 100?) for my account please!
