I tried an email to them today so hopefully I will get some feedback. I also mailed Debbie and the response just said that there has been no scan on said item but I must keep trying

So do you think it still hasnt been scanned after nearly a month?

I am in the same boat here! I ordered an item off Ebay in May and if I check the USPS website, it says that the item left Miami on the 19th of May. It has yet to be scanned in at JIMC and no one can tell me where it is. Anyone have any advise? I have contacted USPS and they say it has left the country. I have contacted SAPO for a local tracking number but they say it has not been scanned yet I have been to my local PO and there is nothing there for me I am starting to think it may not arrive?

This is an amazing bike! David is also a real passionate builder and has skills and techniques that are amazing

I was lucky enough to take one of these for a spin at the show and I can tell you that it is amazing. The geometry makes the bike feel nimble even with the slack-ish head angle.

Where can we get PS2 from in JHB?

If you have some time to drive to a few spots, there are trails just outside of Kenton-on-Sea as well as a nice loop from Cannon Rocks to Alex and back (60KM odd)

The flash is an awesome bike and the lefty completes the package. Once you ride a lefty, every other fork is sub standard. I would go for the one that has the bet components because everything is pretty much the same across the frames

Pratley steel quickset will fix it while you wait for the part to arrive

I have done roughly 10 000km on a set of 540s and they have never let me down. I had to replace my cleats the other day because they had worn down before the pedals

Do you have an invoice from the seller? What is the reason for them holding the package?

Have a look at the wolftooth direct mount chainrings

I couldn't agree more. The design seems to be flawed, especially when it comes to the master cylinder as it seems to be right against the bar when clamped. If it is overtightened or bashed it seems to leak. This was the case with mine. I had a set of Louise BAT's for 3 years and never had to bleed them or fiddle with them at all... I presumed it would have been the same with the new models

I had the same issue with a set of MT2's and MT4's. They repaired my MT2's but said that the MT4's were destroyed. I have never had issues with Maguras and now had 2 bad sets? I dont think the local service department is that clued up to be honest

Contact Dorpie if you want a Titan at a really good price. He has some awesome bikes at excellent prices

After pulling my trusty steed out of the garage this week after having almost 2 weeks off from Sani2c, I found that it had acquired a bit more dust and dirt than usual. I assume that this is due to me being lazy and not washing my bike after the ride, so all the dirt from the beach, drive home and general dust has coagulated around my chain. My chain, chainring and cassette were terribly dirty and they had a thick gunky trim along the entirety of the drivetrain.I decided to use a new product that I was told about by a friend - Cleanextreme foam chain degreaser.All I had to do was hose the bike down, spray the degreaser over the chain while turning the cranks and then leave it for a few minutes. The foam sticks to the chain doing it's magic and does not drip into any bearings or go anywhere it shouldn't.After a few minutes I hosed it off and the drivetrain looked brand new.I highly recommend this product because it works so well!I bought mine off www.kitted.co.za but I am not sure if they still have stock.

I am going to do both bearings as suggested above. Thanks again

I managed to get the black nut off and I got to the bearing. It was completely dry and needs to be replaced. Thanks for all the help guys! Much appreciated

I don't want to sound like an absolute noob, but how do you take the freehub off?

The other end is just the threaded axel. There is a rubber dust cap? and below that is the bearing. See image below as well as the exploded view

I have looked to see if the axle can take an Allen key but it is round, so that's not it. I tried with a small clamp but I am scared I mess up the threads of the axel. I will give a vice grip a try at some stage today and see if that holds it. When I do get the nut off, how do I remove the bearings? Thanks for all the help thus far

It is definitely a nut but I have nothing to counter rotate against in order to turn it off

I have realised that since Sani, my rear hub bearings are grinding and have pretty much seized. I have decided to fix this myself since I pretty much do everything else on the bike without hassle but the hubs have me stumped. Firstly, I have never done a hub bearing so I am not too sure how to go about it. Secondly, It is a Sram X9 rear hub and there is no info on it online besides an exploded view on the Sram website. I haven't been able to find any videos on YouTube, not have I found a tutorial on the interwebs. I have disassembled the hub to a point but cannot get any further. I cannot seem to remove the black nut pictured below. Can anyone give me some pointers, or better yet, a tutorial on how to remove X9 hub bearings. Thanks!

Not yet, will they sell to the public directly?
