  1. Hand in the pedals and get Shimano pedals to match your cleats. I had crank brothers for many years before I saw the light, great pedals but they have to be serviced regularly

    Completely agree- I went through a few years of egg beaters which involved a few services. SPD’s just work- never any problems.

  2. 150 in the first 9 and a half hours or so ... Once the rain, lighting and mud came it was an absolute mess. My son's derailleur hanger destroyed on his gravel bike and my freewheel jammed we decided to pack it in after taking nearly 2 hours to get back from the last lap.

     

    We live to fight another day!

    That’s a good effort ????????????????

    Yeah -pity about the thunderstorm- I heard it was a nightmare after that.

  3. Thanks Martin vir die boodskap en vir Pa se post. Ek onthou daai stukkie track baie goed. Dink ek besit nog eiendom daar erens...meer soos in 'n plaas as 'n plot.

     

    Rus in vrede Mot my Boet. Mis jou ongelooflik baie maar jou stryd was 'n harde en 'n goeie een. Wens on het geweet hoe om jou beter te kon help. Jy is 'n legend en is seker die mees eerlike en opregte persoon wat ek nog geken het....ten spyte van jou uitdagings.

     

    Till we ride again.

     

    Kerritz.

    I cannot imagine the pain you must feel losing your brother.

    My condolences to you and your family.

  4. Love how ASG sidestep all questions regarding why they are more expensive than other stores.

    i feel this thread might do more damage than good to ASG

    Agree- it's like the negative posts are completely ignored. Maybe ignorance is bliss for some, but I'd guesstimate the pro ASG rank do not exceed the anti ASG rank. So if that is correct then they should address the issues and maybe win over a few potential customers.
  5. You don't launch a store, online or brick and mortar, by quoting way over priced prices with the comment or viewpoint of offering specials later down the line.

    Customers are neither patient nor stupid.

    They will give you a chance from the get go- and that's where you need to impress them. Later on will never happen as you will not even be thought of as an option when compared to existing stores with great service and very competitive pricing already being offered.

    Rather focus on a niche market or range and do that 110% better than anyone else.

  6. RIP Tumbles- I never met you but read many of your posts.

    I had respect for your opinions and was following this thread with the hope of good news, but it was not to be.

    Ride well kind stranger whom had an impact on many he had never met.

    Condolences from England.

  7. I agree with Tom Wells - Why should he have to now try and sell the wheels because your friend gave you the wrong info & has subsequently spent the money and cannot refund the purchaser?

     

    The purchaser was not sent what he ordered so he is in his right to want a refund.

     

    FP - Your original post seems to try and push the blame back on the purchaser -- Not cool.

    Why does your friend not arrange to pay him over two months - For me it is a principle thing...

    Everyone buggers up - It's how you fix it that counts.

  8. Unfortunately some bad news - the family is gathering to say goodbye.

    Strongs to all the family and friends during this tough time.

    Reading this makes my stomach turn.

    While we are all at home safe with our families the cyclist looks like he won't pull through and his family will never be the same.

    Sad sad sad

  9. Hey photo Hubbers

     

    Any suggestions as to where I could sell an Ortery photosimilie 200 box with a turntable?

    It would be used for creating 360degree product shot for web sales...

     

    Thanks in advance for any decent suggestions guys....
