  1. Ok thanks good to know just a bit of mission put and taking off back wheel with additional washer.
  2. Hi all need advice, got me a set of Easton Tempest 2 Wheels and took it to a LBS to have my 11 speed campy cassette put on. The First LBS sayed it wont work as wheels are not compatible and can't help. So tried next LBS, they add a washer at the back of cassette and there was just enough clearance for lockring to tighten. But when we put wheel on bike the lockring was touching the Frame or dropout and thus wheel not spinning freely. They then added a washer between lockring and frame which allowed wheel to spin freely. It seems fine. My only concern is if this is normal, will this maybe not put strain on frame? Any advice. thanks
  3. I took a 10 speed Campy crank and just changed the chainrings to 11 spd works perfect.
  4. Bought wheels no issues, PM Kiwi he should sort you out, arrnage with him you can proably pick up in JHB if you in JHB.
  5. 100% fake, although those merek parts aren't bad nether groupset. but R10000 offer the the guy R1000... take parts and convert frame to pimping single speed fun B) Love the why it say "Dogma 2" :lol:
  6. anybody got unbranded road bike, personally i love the Chinarello's.... EBAY is KING....got to love the East. The East builds it and the West brands it then sales it for 10x the price..... and says they do all research
  7. Excellent service from CWC, i get my order from then quicker than it takes to drive to local LBS and put up with local attitude. Online all the Way........... LBS just rip off locals espicial in JHB.... Keep up good work CWC.... just my 2cents
  8. CWC does it again, order something late yesturday afternoon. And got delivery this morning.....WOW Excellent service.... Thanks CWC
  9. fake or not, wear it and enjoy...
  10. Intresting advice.. so basically it comes down to a mind game and waste of money?
  11. Hi All Advice please...I was wondering is there a real diffence by upgrading the cartridge bearings on my wheelset (Mavic cosmic carbone sl) to ceramic? Also can anybody advice on what bearings it would take size/model. From what i can tell these are the model numbers but other sources give diffent results: Hub: 1 x 61903 Rear Wheel: 2 x 608 Front Wheel: 2 x 61901 thanks
  12. My suggestion Try the San marco Regale, i had the Specailized Ronin saddle just gave me back ache for some reason my to best saddles: San Marco Regale or Selle italia Max Flight......
  13. also with regards to duties. If seller marks as Gift on shipping no VAT is ussually charged. With regards to Duties, no duties/customs on components (ie Groupset,wheels, frame on its own) i think if you order complete bike or clothing/shoes etc you might be charged. On all my goods i only had to pay VAT,Clearing (ussually about R25)fee on total invoice no customs.
  14. I use Ebay .co.za it then will redirect you to .com or uk but will show all goods available for shipping to SA.
  15. agreed, i built my entire bike excluding frame form ebay..... IT WORKS... Do research on seller, min 95 % good feedback, and pay with paypal.
  16. Let me join the Club...
  17. Have a look at specialized winter specials. http://www.specialized-sa.co.za/docs/specials/1105_Specialized_WinterSpecials_Bikes_PUBLIC.pdf
  18. CRC won't ship outside of EU bought mine from but http://www.totalcycling.com/ and had no issues.. well worth the wait we just get ripped off in this country.
  19. Makes you think what are you actually buying Original or Fake??? And what is Fake now a days as almost everything comes from China I've seen Fake FSA, Pina and Specialized Products for Sale online, and very easy to Import.....I would rather buy Fake then a bike brought in Unbranded with a couple custom "Stickers" and sold for 5 times the Price..... Chinarellos are cool man, read a couple overseas forums and they have a big following. Surprisingly after all my reading the only ones that i have come across that break were the original ones....
  20. Wow
  21. Maybe his a true Enthusiast " scrappy jeans and t-shirt riding it" , forget about eveything else .... all you need is an awesome bike Rather "guy's photo and take it to the cops"
  22. Rip-Off - Cajees Cycle Corner ...... They like second hand car dealership out to rip everyone off...... Marketing strategy for ie CAJEES, WESDENE Cycles 150 % markup and 50% discount....ie you still pay 100% markup on goods
  23. so all Raleigh's going in for Spray jobs..... We can then sale them for 3 times the Price
  24. Agreed i love the "STILL NEW" , NEW is in SHOP with warrenty.... and i love the adds only X months old, but still new asking price .....more than local LBS..... Hub is the Hub Negations should be standard.....me thinks....
