  1. I like stringing these bastards along. Keep them trying until they cry... Let them feel they got me, and then, WHAM...I let them have it.... Telling them the lay of the land.
  2. All done... now to test on the trails... hopefully I will not look like my cover foto: AGAIN
  3. Marketplace on äcebook is flooded with these Temu/Shein ext. parts. When you challenge the bloke on his sky high prices you get blocked... go figure...
  4. Taking shape...
  5. Now to put it all back together and a final polish... taking me ages to get this done...
  6. Bastard... The ID with a pic of an ID is a dead giveaway that you are dealing with a scammer... had the same issue last week on marketplace... Told the chap to go #%$@ himself.
  7. If Bikehub Pay confirms that they have the money, you good to go. I had a case where the chap did not want to use bikehub pay, I stepped away from that sale.
  8. Also using 078 737 0506 and 073 073 0415
  9. Chap on marketplace in Pretoria area using one of our hubbers Thule bike rack foto's as his own. Want R4000 for the rack...Want a holding dep. as usual... Using 071 917 3398
  10. Hi all Need a lift to and from the Karoo-to-Coast in September. I stay in Pretoria. Any ideas where to look? Willing to share costs as well...
  11. Hi all How is it possible that the 35km race is costing R525??? I read that numbers are down in comparison to previous years - I am not surprised. I love the Monster, have done it since 2016 and would like to continue but the price is getting to me. R1000 for a day race with petrol, tolls, food, drinks AND the entry, I cannot afford it. Saving for this one race is also not in my budget... Rant over...😉
  12. Help please, where do I find the size on the frame? This is a 27.5" carbon frame.
  13. Same chap at it again last night. Same Thule for R5000. Wants a holding deposit as he is getting a lot of calls - bull - he calls you on WhatsApp as soon as you make contact. Also had a Wahoo kicker for sale. 073 722 5853 his new number and going by Gavin now.
  14. Will do, thank you very much
  15. Hi guys Cannot find any info on how to seat (correct word?) my new XT brake pads properly. Shimano g03ti brake pads - METAL Any advice??? Thanks in advance
  16. Possible scam. Nice Thule 3 bike rack on marketplace for R5000 - new cost more than R14500. Chap by the name of Douglas??? On Facebook since 2024. Want money to keep the rack for me as more than 200 people phoned since 05h00 this morning...LOL. I said I will do R500 and he came back with: if someone gives me the R5000, our deal is off. So I told him I will play ball. No bank account details, only a pin and phone number that he wanted me to do Cash Send to... Told him I paid the full amount, and he called me immediately saying nothing is showing... When I called his bluff he said I am the dodgy one... go figure Using 061 632 5314 if this help anyone out there.
  17. Going 1x11 XT Components, 11-46 Sunrace. Doing away with the paint. Polish aluminum look for the main frame and carbon black for the swing arm...
