  1. Edit: I apologize; I was just trying to get a rise out of you with the News 24 thing.
  2. Maybe you could try Richie he oftern has odd items like this or maybe he can get it for you. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/profile/105-richiespares
  3. No worries, all good! Thank you for the detailed explanation.
  4. It likely depends on what the OP means by "high engagement." Lyne should be pawl if not mistaken. For ratchet hubs, a low-viscosity grease would be suitable, while for pawl hubs, a light oil will provide sufficient lubrication. A ratchet and pawl freehub experiences very little friction stress when freewheeling, as well as during forward rotation or when locked. Most manufacturers recommend using light oil—even Shimano oil for pawl hubs—and light grease for ratcheting hubs. This ParkTool link contains useful information that may help make the choice easier. https://www.parktool.com/en-int/blog/repair-help/freehub-service
  5. I don't see why a few drops of Shimano mineral oil wouldn't work. Mavic use Shimano mineral oil in several service videos, so it may also be a good option for a Lyne hub.
  6. Both are in the same listing Morewood and Momsen viper.
  7. Looks like these were the two bike's that were taken. https://bikehub.co.za/stolen-bikes/3649/morewood-softail
  8. @nero123 Looks like the bike made it's way to Mozambique.
  9. Maybe keep an eye out for a good second-hand fork. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/mountain-bike-forks/894625/rockshox-recon-silver-tk-26-inch-100mm
  10. There should also be a 5mm hex that needs to be tightened clockwise it is not as deep as the 4mm close to the top.Otherwise you might need a new cartridge but probably easier to replace the fork. @droo might have more info.
  11. You can start by removing the blue knob. Then, you will find a round piece with many small spline teeth; remove that as well, either by using your fingers or a magnet. Next, insert a 4mm hex wrench into the hole and turn it clockwise until the fork locks out. After that, replace all the parts, ensuring the blue knob is in the locked position. Finally, test to see if this resolves the issue.
  12. The 920 would likely provide a better overall ride since it is a 29er with a 1x12 drivetrain, while the 720 is only a 27.5 with either a LTWoo 1x10 or Microshift 1x9. This means the 920 has a wider range of gearing and larger wheels, which will roll more easily. Also have a look at the @Titan Racing Bikes range they are available on the Hub to chat and should have something that might work for you. Edit: The S920 has a unisex version with better specifications, while the Skye S920 is specifically designed for women with entry-level specs. I'm not sure which S920 you are referring to.
  13. "It is possible that Matt, or one of his staff in his absence, has reviewed this thread. The buyer and seller sit squarely on either side of the fence that Admin has created in the interest of a safe classifieds environment. The rating should stand, as the seller clearly didn't conduct himself in a professional manner. There is likely more to this than just a WhatsApp message or two, and one could argue that although a sale was not concluded, there may still have been an agreement to transact; therefore, the rating should remain."

  14. I was half expecting Michael Jackson to show his face again.

    I suppose this is one way of keeping the two minutes time gap 🤣 2026-03-17_09-43-33_0.mp4
