8 hours ago, J V said:Hey! Quick question: are the Selle San Marco screw holes compatible with SWAT or Bontrager mounts? I have a Bontrager Flare RT with a saddle mount (https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/equipment/bike-accessories/bike-lights/bike-light-accessories/bike-light-brackets-mounts/bontrager-blendr-saddle-accessory-mount/p/24663/) and my new Selle San Marco will be arriving shortly. I was curious to know if the mount would fit the new saddle.
Selle San Marco and SWAT have the same spacing of 60mm. Bontrager 46mm

nothing comes close at this price
Can someone who has this light please post a pic of the mounting area. Would like to see how easily I can modify it.

This one seems excellent value with the component spec. I would definitely recommend getting a dropper post for Tokai.
If after a few months you are enjoying yourself and realise a bike with better geometry and better suspension is what you're after, you could sell it for around what you paid and get something like a Merida 120 dual suspension for around R20k.
Have fun!

Its a virtual VISA 'transaction' account; its not a credit card, i.e. it always has to have a positive balance, but I can enter the card details into any credit card payment facility. So its like a prepaid credit card. You also get a free savings account bundled with it, with a 5.9ish interest rate. Its just Discovery wanting you to give them more money to pool.
I phoned them, was told free account no longer an option for me because I chose the paid for account. They’re going to find the recording of the phone call when they convinced me to take the paid option. Thanks Discovery

You can choose to increase this if you want and pay an additional premium. It’s not a new thing though so they wouldn’t have just restricted the cover amount just like that. It would have been there from the start of the policy.
Wrt what was told to you, I get that. But I am just pointing out that it’s not true. You can just open a credit card if you wish. The additional benefits you get with opening the full suite pertains to more cashback at PNP, Clicks etc for healthy foods etc. If you’re not interested in this then I would just downgrade to the credit card alone.
I’m not 100% sure tbh if it is the savings account. But every vitality member gets a free account with no charges specifically to be used for miles and flights. Your best bet is to call them.
I did phone last year and was told I needed the R25 account for the benefits/discounts. Def need to change my account. Thanks

They do have a free account though. So you can just open the free account to access the miles and book flights.
Which is the free account? When I go to pay as you transact, the lowest option is R25 per month. Is it a savings account? I see the savings accounts have no monthly fee. Do you get access to miles and flight discounts with the savings account?
Well done @Titan Racing Bikes the bikes look great!
Just doing some maths.. the DC model using the angle cup drops HTA to 65 degrees, pop on a 130mm fork and we're on about 64.5 degrees. Damn that will be a ripper of a bike (with xc efficiency)
@DieselnDust feel free to get in touch if you're after a super durable option.

yeah that's quite surprising

also: don't Eddie Mercx your designs too much 🤐
you might enjoy this cantilever test...
On 2/19/2024 at 4:24 PM, Kom said:ive probably printed this design a dozen times already - i kept getting stuck with too many tree supports and a k*k finish under the mount.
i stumbled on Cheps youtube channel and discovered custom supports as a marketplace plugin for cura - what a discovery!Cheps custom profiles for cura are excellent too - my ender 3 has a new lease on life!
very cool, thanks for sharing this,

Brazen. That area is rather busy on a Saturday morning.

Not at all heavy
Do you still need this? And would you be happy with white? It’s the filament I have atm

I've mostly changed my ways (when I'm on the mtb)

I don't judge anyone.
Unless they're wearing lycra 😂

Could you have stored some pool acid (hydrochloric acid) or another corrosive substance close to the bike?
Has iptv been mentioned on this thread yet? I don’t use it so can’t really provide much information, but from what I understand it could be the solution to this problem. Give it a google.

Keen eye! The gravel rims are spoken for. There are some mtb rims available
Coincidentally I received some Nextie gravel rims this morning. They look really nice 👌
I know this is not what you asked, but its the hub...
Another option are Ride Concepts. I've been really impressed with them and the pricing is really good currently

Also if you're not racing or needing xc efficiency go flats 🤘

In your first post you mention jumping. I'm assuming you also want to do some "aggressive" trail riding with this bike. If it was me, I'd rather do this type of riding on a hardtail with better suited geometry and dropper post, than on an old xc dual suspension with no dropper.
I spotted this Trek Roscoe that looks in (dare I say it) mint condition. Maybe a fork upgrade down the line when more funds are available.
