Nick

Thanks for confirming. I think we found the offending account. You probably received an email yesterday to warn you. A bit late but thank you for reporting it to help others.

Hi Alec We're looking into it. Have you advertised your bike elsewhere?

In an older version of Bike Hub Pay, there was an external link out to the Triptych Resources bicycle couriering quote form. They'd contact you directly, with payment and arrangements happening outside of the Bike Hub Pay platform.

We don't like to give away too much about our fraud prevention systems but yes, we can do a degree of matching. He can see this thread without an account. The forums are on the open internet.

There's likely one best shape for a road bike. They must be getting close.

Was it something like this? Warning you of a data leak? This means that the password that you are using on Bike Hub as been compromised in a public data leak but it does not mean that the leak was Bike Hub. In Safari, going to Preferences -> Passwords. Apparently there may be a yellow warning icon with more information. Websites like Have I Been Pwnd? can also give you a clue to which service the leak originates. Not that it helps much, your password is out there. It is usually strongly advised that you change this password on all the services that you use it on.

It requires a few more characters to be typed. I'll make a note to make that clearer or reduce the requirement.

Thanks! A search with a space between the words is bugging out the homepage search. I'll log the issue. In the meantime, searching within the Forums appears to work or the search box in the menu above. Admittedly, the best way to search the Bike Hub forums is often on Google. To limit the search to Bike Hub only, include site:bikehub.co.za (or for the forums specifically site:forum.bikehub.co.za) with your search term.

Where on the site are you trying to do the search? I popped the word "Giant" into the search box at the top of this thread and the homepage with no problems. But there's definitely a chance we may have missed something elsewhere.

The entry fee block is there. For this particular event, I created the entry. I simply don't have time to find and list all the finer details. I tend to only fill in the required fields. The hope is that the event organiser will do the creating and complete all the details. On your second point, events can promote themselves by: Creating an event in the Events Calendar - it's free (this also creates the forum topic). Engaging in the forum topic. If they want to promote the event elsewhere on the site, the details are all here.

They closed up shop. I haven't heard of anyone taking it over.

Your first point of call should be a Giant dealer or the local distributor. If that fails, the NeosTrack is based on Bryton's Ryder 530. It's a long shot but these screens may be interchangeable if you can find one.

You can hit the report button. No need to look the other way. As Matt mentioned, there are at least two Forum sections dedicated to people asking questions about their purchases. If they need help, tell them to post a question there. The advice they get at least be specific to their needs. It should be far more efficient than refreshing a thread all day in the hope that someone might happen to answer it for you. But again, these solutions don't satisfy my petty points 1, 2, and 3.

Be honest, that thread was never primarily about helping newbies and keeping the Classifieds clean (and the same goes for the advert comments before it). It's about a small group showing off what they've spotted in the Classifieds. This inevitably involves frivolous nitpicking, ridicule, and bullying. All of which is (poorly) hidden behind the pretence of community or having a laugh. This behaviour might be encouraged in other places on the internet but we have a vision for Bike Hub where it is not. There are existing solutions to all the perceived problems that work exceptionally well. We've explained them countless times. But they meet resistance from a few users. So why? I think it's because of the following factors: It is private (no kudos). Pettiness can be ignored. There is no mob. As mentioned already in this thread, there is some merit to such discussions but it does not come close to justifying the glaring negatives.

Grant that you need to be logged in but it appears that you are; you can check and update it here: https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/settings

We've considered it and do acknowledge the added security it brings but we're not convinced that a Bike Hub account warrants the added protection versus the complexity it adds for both us and the users. But always open to reconsidering if things change.

A few things that might ease the experience: Save your email address to your keyboard's predictive text (I assume you're talking about mobile here?) If you regularly use the same browser, don't destroy your Bike Hub cookies. You'll only need to log in once a year. A password manager can autofill the fields for you (your browser probably offers something similar).

We did it for two reasons: For us, it simplifies any development around user accounts going forward. For users, there is one less variable in the login / reset process when they have issues with their account. It's a significant load on our support and streamlining is welcomed. Are you having issues logging in?

By slapping a UCI sticker on an event doesn't automagically make it a desirable thing to race. There are far more prestigious events on the gravel calendar. It's also going to be interesting to see how many gravel racers have the desire and funding to travel to all those events to win something that no one seems to regard very highly (yet). Perhaps a Trek rider or two 😉

I've changed the title as it seems everything gravel racing has been discussed here and is continuing beyond Matt's BWR result. I hope that's ok, @MongooseMan? I know it takes away from Matt's result a bit (no reason he still can't feature). Perhaps a dedicated thread for his racing career (across all disciplines) will work better.

Order has now been restored. Thanks for nudging us to finally get this fixed.

Glad to hear that you're back up and running.

Hi there It appears that you have two accounts. The one you are currently logged into has no adverts. I'll send you a direct message with the details.

Wow, having to press a button to get five more riders on the list each time gets tedious 🙃 Minimalist bliss: https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/giro-d-italia/overview

As per the rescinded letter they sent to the non-offending rider; 50 to 100 Swiss Francs and a 1-month ban.
