Hi all, jumping onto this topic quite late, but this is something that excites me. I've also been doing a lot of research, and busy working on 2 different prototype devices specifically for tracking my bicycles. Looked at 1 year battery life minimum, and also anti-jamming functionality. We are busy building an Android application as well. I will eventually share more details, but for now its more of a personal project ???? I moved to CPT this year, and have been scared shitless that I might get hijacked. And so the journey started! GSM devices can get jammed, and LoRaWAN devices lose coverage when moving away from the base stations. We also have the issue of bikes getting across the border to neighboring countries. Then both options above are useless.

Yes the guy sounded so trustworthy on the phone calls. As soon as you let your guard down they take advantage hey.

it was R7500

I will definitely be going to capitec today to find out more about him. Thanks guy

Hi hubbers. I recently posted that I need a rockshox pike. A guy called "Andre Venter" contacted me. I always arange the courier myself, that way I know that the product will get picked up etc. So the guy tells me I must quickly send my address as he will drop the shock at courier guy in Kroonstad. I didn't think anything of it, made the payment via EFT even though he requested an instand money transfer to his mobile number. I tried phoning him after I made the payment, sent numerous sms and whatsapps but the phone is off. He made it seem as any normal deal, building trust and then disappearing. The number is 076 958 1348 Because he contacted me, I do not know his bikehub name. Please be aware of this! Never pay anything with instant money transfers. I might be able to reverse the transfer thanks to Standard bank being helpful.

Recently my XX1 cassette broke a tooth clean off. Not from a rock or anything, I probably power shifted or something. But SRAM said they won't be replacing it. And to buy a new cassette just because of a broken tooth is nuts (the prices are just insane). I understand that they want to give the LBS a better chance at making more money, but we just can't afford to do things their way. I sold my bike and will be using the road bike a bit more now (so much cheaper)
