The yellow parking had clowns asking for R100. They had printed receipts and demanding R100 for parking got very stroppy when i told him the many ways he could go f@1k himself.

Yea i hear you. But what to do? No longer a case of hand over your bike and move on. These guys are violent maybe increase your chance from zero to 50%. If you go down he goes down with you.

This today more or less same area.

This is going to be considered cycling equipment going forward.

The levels of violence have increased dramatically. No more safety in numbers.

So JMPD had a guy in handcuffs and a vehicle full of bikes. I take it this is not yhe first incident for the morning and we will see more coming out.

Yea got the same on my group. Is this not the same place the cyclist was shot last week. He was shot 3 times.

This whole bikejacking thing has really gotten out of hand. I know in the past the Hub had a stolen bike heat map. Can Admin @Matt not maybe do the same for bike jackings. Maybe somthing google maps related click on your province work down to area/ street and get a list of incidents by date time etc. With everyone working on the database listing incidents building a global map.

Ok yes this thread is an old thread. I got this on one of my groups from earlier this morning.

Where are you located? If in Centurion area then i have a few scrap stems and bolts. I am sure @RobertWhitehead has a plan if you PTA side.

Try your LBS they might have a parts/scrap bin with randon nuts, bolts etc. If it is a nice stem that you want to keep then buy a cheep stem and use the bolts.

Maybe pop these guys a mail. I see they are in Cape Town. https://www.paragontech.co.za/product/wolf-tooth-disc-brake-adaptor-post-to-flat-mount-pst-flt-brkadpt/

Somthing like this. Ha ha i see what i did same thread.

Not in Cape Town but maybe they have a preferred dealer or shipping options. https://epicgear.co.za/

What next? Leather bib shorts and water bottle gag combo.

Still looks fine. Take all the other pawls an springs out and give it a good clean with a cloth/earbud etc. I use cold clean spray to clean all the cracks and tight spaces but keep it far away from the bearings.

They are the same spec/bike even down to the Crankbrothers pedal some of the pictures are the same in both ads. I would say duplicate accounts. One is over-priced and other is way over-priced.

Sure no problem. Pop me a DM.

Hi, i had a look and i only have 75mm adaptors. The problem would be the frame and fork are 70 so need to convert or cut that adaptor.

OP did upgrade his wheels to a HOPE wheelset same as on the listed bike.

I sent OP a DM and he confirms that it is his bike.
