  1. Try a Thule store. Those arms come off the 3rd or 4th bike adapter for platform racks.
  2. Why the edit? Take the flack and move on. You made your point and i think most on the hub who know you or have been a recipient of your generosity know exactly what you were getting at.
  3. I feel sorry for the newbie to the sport or the person that does not have the knowledge that most of us have. Going to lay out 20 or 30k on a bike that clearly is only valued around 4k. Yes do your homework ask questions but we need ro help out both sides buyers and sellers.
  4. I just popped in to see if my name was getting thrown around again.
  5. If in doubt you can collect in person or just use Bike Hub pay.
  6. Try Bike Market.
  7. Josh was Cyclestworkshop by Nicolas plants. Yes sadly his place burnt to the ground he lost everything very sad. But he is up and going again.
  8. Attitude comes from the brand. High end brand stores almost always have the what do you know we are Trek attitude. Can't say i have had the same experience when going to a multi brand store to look at a Titan/Scott etc
  9. I find this to be part of the problem. I am not painting all youngsters with the same brush. But the attitude seems to be i am better than you i work for Spez/Trek i know everything and the customer is stupid. Lack of experience in the workshop and dealing with people.
  10. Any auto electrician can replace the harness on the rack. Or pop in to Rack and Road Woodmead let Joe have a look if out PTA side try Amos at Rack and Road Gift acres.
  11. The bulb has blown on the rack. That will cause the car to flash quicker. If not the bulb then check the yellow wire to see if broken.
  12. When it comes to anything and everything Campagnolo he is the wizard.
  13. Me too sorry OP. Somtimes a little deviation or light hearted joke or two helps keep the thread alive and top of the list.
  14. A last hit and run??
  15. Thule do the Upride 599.
  16. Hi, please send me a DM i might have lead for you.
  17. https://www.like2bike.co.za/
  18. We have done it for 3 years i see on the web it is age 2 to 17. Every race the kids get a medal that is a piece of the trophy that they build. Good days fun for the little ones
  19. There's the Suzuki like to bike not 100% sure on age groups and distance. But my 4 year old granddaughter does the 2km MTB. They just had an event on Sunday at big Red Barn.
  20. @JMK1 Jonathan should be able to help.
  21. You can ask the Seller to take the bike to Cycle Lab Lynnwood. They can box it and send it to CWC Cape Town. Maybe give Ruben a shout at Cycle Lab and he can inspect the bike for you then send to Bernard at CWC.
  22. Ok i know it's not 80s but Cycle Lab are selling a copy/reproduction for the Raleigh Burner for around 5k.
  23. As for salt it would be interesting to see if other hubbers can pinpoint salt as a cause of corrosion. The sweat from your body falls on your bike. I have seen it on a bike stem the bike lived on an indoor trainer.
