  1. Turn frame upside-down and over a few days spray penetrative oil into the seat tube through a bottle cage hole or at the BB let it soak then clamp the seatpost in a vice then pour boiling water over the frame at the seat/top tube lug while twisting the frame small gentle movements side to side.
  2. I don't think Ashleigh Parsons is going anywhere soon and the Parsons family have been involved in top level cycling for decades. So purchasing from the site shouldn't be an issue. As for geo I presume they would be out of Cape Town.
  3. No problem. Maybe hunt around at your LBS many ways to hack this bracket. Reflector bracket might work or the bracket on a kids bell.
  4. Hi, I have these 2 brackets not sure what Cateye light they from. If the slide on the light fits the slide on these clamps it might work for you.
  5. So I work on an oil rig and my cousin is a shipping agent. I pay legit money into Bikehub pay and send the shipping agent to collect. A week later I never received the item that was stolen out of the shipping agents van so I get my money back and the seller gets a F-all.
  6. Yea I haven't had them make the arrangements often. But they do ask can you PUDO or Postnet etc and I agree. My opinion is they request that option so they should take the risk using that option regardless if I fill in the waybill and ship the item. If they ask can ship and who do I prefer or use then my suggestion it's on me.
  7. Would it not depend on the courier arrangements? If the seller arranges the courier then he has committed to have your goods delivered but if the buyer sorted for the courier then it is the buyers agent and you as seller have done your bit by boxing and handling over to the buyers agent/courier.
  8. I installed them previously on a Venter but sold may years back. I fitted the gutter to the complete rack and put in place on the trailer lid using blocks wood etc to find the correct spot. Then marked each hole on the lid with marker and drilled. I found the washer on the inside to be a little flimsy and worried that the thin gauge steel lid would rip under load so I riveted some 3mm 200x200 plate to the mounting points inside the lid.
  9. I think. some clothing items although they fall into the FOakley category are not a bad option especially if the legit stuff has become questionable with regard to quality.
  10. How good is that Temu jersey? I see they around 200bux. 6 jerseys for the price of 1 just rotate and toss when looking shabby. Same for the gloves and other kit.
  11. Found this on FB. do you have a picture of your bike it would make it easier to identify. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/478818235066492/?mibextid=dXMIcH

  13. Take it to the Thule store. It might just be the lock and or knob they sell that separately.
  14. Still can't get my head around the the team Japan bike at R2,5mil a pop.
  15. @Titan Racing Bikes will you be getting a full red with black accents in the future? Just got back from LBS wanted to pick one up and try but looking for a little more red as it is faster.
  16. Or taking people's money in the classifieds for shoes that he does not have.
  17. Maybe try Extream lights they should be able to sort you with a charger. https://www.extremelights.co.za/products/charger-for-8-4v-li-ion-battery-pack
  18. I purchased a Luggage/Fishing scale upto 50kg from Temu. Works well and accurate I have used it several times no issues for R75 I didn't expect much but i was surprised.
  19. I don't know if these are any good maybe someone can order and test. I see Temu has many different hoods available. https://share.temu.com/gQdrF71zCHA https://share.temu.com/7Xcq5WKliyA https://share.temu.com/cDJ2RLYgNlA https://share.temu.com/Pq0v1pvx07A
  20. This☝️
  21. The ball should be a std 50mm for both cars. The rack looks like it was repaired or reinforcement done maybe the welding has a high spot that over time wore into the old ball making it sit tight. The new ball is probably perfect round and the rack swivels on the weld or high spot. The rack mount does not look square that could also be a problem.
  22. Hi sorry for your loss. You can also post your bikes in the stolen bike section of Bike Hub. https://bikehub.co.za/stolenbikes/
  23. Probably cheaper to look at a good second-hand set. Your budget won't get much if you replacing existing hubs. You might need new spokes correct lengths and the cost of strip/rebuild over and above the Hub cost.
  24. I insured my bike with Outsurance under my household out & about. I gave them the value that I found to be the appropriate market value for the bike. When I had a claim they gave the cash to replace it second-hand or use cash as I see fit.
