Have these people gotten hold of each other? @MTBAustria? Theres obviously a case number. The people and serials are now all known. The seller, the people and now parent who bought the stolen goods and its also not so hard to get @CWC Online involved to share info once you let them know they’ve almost unknowingly been made part of a dodgy love triangle.

Its obviously phonetic Othority - as in we have no REAL authority… it therefore indemnifies us from general pitchfork mob dealings and hurt feelings. 🙃😋

The sad part is that the CPO - a bunch of casual cycling forumers - has proven way more capable of finding/exposing fraud,skollies, dodgy deals than actual authorities in many instances….purely by intuition and black belt google-fu.

This. reeks of being caught red handed dealing in stolen goods. If you know about taking bikes to CWC for a service, and know about ebike batteries being faulty, you also know that if you are buying a spez e-bike in Kylemore for 4.5k, you are buying stolen sh!t! i hope people get taught some serious life lessons out of this…

Not gonna lie, i recently had a silly fall (broke my scaphoid), but i scratched my brand new oneup carbon bars across the front as they tucked and slid along the ground. The controls also all rotated on the bars. i now trust them as much as politicians a month away from election day 🤣…

Instructions unclear. Installs no-name carbon bar on downhill bike.

Perhaps then a pre-load issue? Or even some grit between external spacers. If im not mistaken, those transmissions are Dub-wide 55mm chainline, so takes a few external spindle spacers on both the drive side and non drive side. I know my xx1 dubs do. (4.5mm drive side) for 52mm. I ‘stick’ mine together with waterproof grease.

On that frame, likely the “P” word? The wheels-MFG BSA bb on one of my bikes is going on 5y old now. Never been opened. Smooth as a salamander dipped in KY. Remove chain and watch crank spin for days. I have them on all my bikes, including a back up one in my parts bin i found lying on the sales table at CWC one day for half price - like nobody knew what it was. Never grabbed sonething so fast🤣

You’re doing it wrong. The correct way to protest its removal and advocate for its return is just to say: I

Id take the z2

500 cable inner end caps…R100. No need to beg the bikeshop for a few loosies like a hobo everytime. Enough for the rest of my time on this planet.

Came here to confirm the culprit. Was not disappointed😅 anyway, if you have been keeping an eye on classifieds you would have noticed the trend of stuff not selling and prices going lower every second week or so. There are amazing things on here that have seen a reduction in price of nearly 50% since end 2023. Great time to be a buyer for sure. Amazing deals to be had especially if you are building. only advice I can give at this stage is it’s not a great time to sell a full bike. Not even a frame judging by some of the adverts.

Edit: you blinked and missed it

Doesn’t matter what your feelings are towards the brand…truth is they’ll likely sell more of these than SRAM can ever wish for 🤷🏻‍♂️ And then here I am, sold my AXS, went back to XT because i couldn't care about charging a bicycle AND just bought me a Linkglide XT groupset to replace this when the time comes. I’m over paying sh!t tons of money for consumables like a drivetrain. Imagine having to replace the gearbox in you car every 5k km lol. ( probably would still be cheaper than bicycle drivetrain thats the sick part. If we had permanent shuttles around i would run my enduro bikes single speed. Added bonus of more efficient rear suspension. R2k for a chain, 8k for a cassette etc etc…nah, im done.

Silver/raw csixx speedring to complete the look👀

Ok ok.. 40 going on 41 197cm (96cm inseam) size 13-14 UK shoe 87kg XL mtb’s 64cm+ road/gravel bikes Metal head, but i’ll listen to anything good.

Pretty small feet… 👀🤣

First world problems… i buy bikes like I have to buy shoes… Ask what they have in the biggest size🤣 XL/S6 some xl’s are smaller than others too…so i shop for 520+ ish reach If they existed and could fit in frames…id be able to use 300mm droppers lol. Have 210mm one now and it is still ~100mm from being slammed.

@BaGearA ps, csixx cage fitsg waiting on the lg700 casette. That aircon place doesn't stock them locally so did what any normal person would do….get it yourself. Got the mech and shifter locally at 50% off…so far R3000 all in🤣

WHAT!?!? You are in for a treat then if doing the full ps: forest frenzy only gets opened on events. Not ridable on normal days. The rest are. Steep rocky and some flowey fun

And just like that: https://wcenduro.co.za Go go go!! For the full: Training Camps, Freeride>Supers, Forest Frenzy, Revised, Mast>BR1>BR2>Happy Hops For Lite : Training Camps, Freeride>Supers, Forest Frenzy

On that note, this also almost happend to witfontein last year if you recall. (Getting approval to host an event from the city/forestry overlords)

Its after pay day for most (28th) and im sure if it gets pushed for whatever reason they’ll allow entries right up to the morning. Its the worst kept secret where it will be, everybody has known for more than a month. It will sell out again. The council red tape is out of their control and they are expecting approval shortly (i have it on good authority)

Agree, they do a decent enough job on the gram (the only reason i have it) and we try and do our best to circulate around internally and on here. But it is what it is i guess. They still sell out at this stage according to organizers. This one is apparently having some administrative speedbumps related to council permits or something. They are obviously too pre-occupied with politicking at the moment lol. anyway, some new sponsors on board and the previous one at hoogies was well run, even with the unfortunate incident on stage 3. you should come do one again! We can suck together!
