my 2 Cs. The second hand market reflects the absolute bloat and greed of the cycling industry locally. Before i’d spend my hard earned bucks on a overpriced or overvalued bikes locally i’d rather import one from Merlin or import the parts and build my own. for 40k you can build a pretty decent setup. Merlin - 105DI2 (15k) perhaps source a frame on the hub and negotiate a proper price.. Even consider something like Winspace. All in all, you’d end up building something really cool, new and in budget. DM if you need any tips. https://www.merlincycles.com/wilier-garda-ultegra-road-bike-2023-266663.html

Anyone know how I can get around the import block for SRAM?

Tarmac SL6. Hands down the best bike ever.

Hi Guys. I need a tension spring please! if there is any dead Sram Rival, Force or Red ASX derailleurs gathering dust, I'll gladly buy and be very very grateful

Thanks bud. I eventually ended up buying a OSPW.

It’s unfortunate just for MTB at the moment. I need the road equivalent

Hi guys. I have a broken cage on my RD, does anyone have a dead 12 speed force or Rival ASX rear derailleur I can strip for the part from. Will pay in ZAR or Uber Eats of your choosing (PS; Cape Cycles doesn’t bother stocking the part apparently..I’m honestly so over this import monopoly)

To be very honest I broke a SRAM charger to cannibalise a pin. Perhaps if you can find a technical specification of either the charger or the actual mec.

hi bud. its ULTEGRA R8020. this is a Impossible find in SA it seems

A massive thank you for the reply, but these are slightly different in design and unfortunately will not work

Hi guys, does anyone have a broken left Ultegra or 105 hydraulic shifter they’re willing to part with. I need to cannibalise it for the bladder. Mine has a bad leak.

Winspace has been good to me thus far from a performance POV. I bought a Hyper 47 pair for the road bike and a 38mm gravel pair for the second bike. Highly recommend you check them out. ceramic bearings, carbon bladed spokes - 25k mark A friendly word of advice, do not go hookless. Do your own research:)

In the same vein hubbers should be realistic on the asking price. We expect really stupid prices for second hand goods. Let the attacks begin keyboard warriors

I can’t agree more.

DM please
