  1. Any reason why fork manufacturers don't use a threaded Stantion into a threaded csu with a little loctite?
  2. How common is this problem? So sending your fork back for warranty replacement does not solve the problem as it will just happen again🤣
  3. Have you had the pivot bearings looked at? Maybe the bushing on the rear shock. Sound and vibration can travel throgh a frame and what might sound like BB could be seatpost and so.
  4. Maybe not related to your problem at all but check the rotor bolts see if they are tight and also the caliper. Had an issue on a bike that felt like loose headset but turned out to be loose rotor bolts.
  5. I had a look at the 50mm Graphene set earlier. Very sexy wheels. Edit: Ha ha no matter how i rotated the image it comes upside down
  6. You could probably buy the short or cheapest one and make whatever lenth you need with some threaded rod and square tube.
  7. The adapter converts a 2bike platform to a 3bike etc. Different platforms have different lenths so maybe go into a Thule store and see what they have as a spare part.
  8. Maybe Black Marlin i see they have plenty complete wheel options but maybe they have an option for just a hoop.
  9. https://thulestore.co.za/all/thule-backspace-xt-3rd-bike-arm-938200?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_K3ZhZnU-wIVAd7tCh1cmACzEAQYASABEgIxovD_BwE
  10. Try a Thule store. Those arms come off the 3rd or 4th bike adapter for platform racks.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. I just popped in to see if my name was getting thrown around again.
  14. If in doubt you can collect in person or just use Bike Hub pay.
  15. Try Bike Market.
  16. 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.
  17. 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
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. When it comes to anything and everything Campagnolo he is the wizard.
  22. Me too sorry OP. Somtimes a little deviation or light hearted joke or two helps keep the thread alive and top of the list.
  23. A last hit and run??
  24. Thule do the Upride 599.
