Hi All. Im looking for a used / damaged 24 or 26Inch FAT bike tyre. Purely for decorative purposes. Ive called how many shops in Pretoria / Centurion area, no one sells. Obviously not wanting to buy new, but most bike shops Icall the workshops do not do tyre swops on the fatbikes. Recommendations of shops in centurion / Pretoria area that work on fatbikes ???

Hers an email address. If all of us email this guy, maybe it may trigger some action. koos.nel@megacoach.co.za

Thanx TheoG...Ill PM you quock for contact details

Hubbers, Looking for a Maxxis 26x2.35 / 2.4 tyre...anyone spotted a shop with some old stock ???? Not really to specific on the model, something like a crossmark / Icon etc. Fast roller or other brand will also do.

100% accurate on all mentioned. Mostly its whom you know...Distributors protect their long standing shops / buddies and not interested in newcomers. Its sad but a true reality of our very small SA market.

One can talk about this till the end of days. ......Its simple IMO...many sellers and buyers on this Forum have not been taught the meaning of the word " INTERGITY" Unfortunately not everyone has had a decent upbringing, especially if someone wants to make a quick buck.

Red Barn only allow the special trials bikes ( no seats) to ride, but not mx bikes. I used to ride there.

It's simple... If you own land and want to enforce non trespassing, spend the money, fence it in and put up decent and enough signage. If I get hurt riding my enduro bike or mountain bike not knowing I'm on private land I'll stick that spike up the farmers @ss

Different Cultures.... This will never change... Fully agree with most other comments here...Good for the emergency bits and bobs only.

I think Most guys riding Mullets do it for the fun. Not everyone is a super X country "need all the Geo i can get" rider . Mullets are cool and they look much better than those skinny 8kg XC machines. Who cares about Geo if you not competing on national / international levels...

I rest my case. This is what any buyer would expect and why the seller probably has a flawless rating. Thanks all for your comments.

Thanks Guys, i don't have a Lathe but whoever manages to make another set, Ill be the first one to order a set of the brass connectors.

Thx, but we will have to agree to disagree. Answering someone is plain courtesy and GOOD MANNERS, not everyone seems to understand that so ill leave it at that.

Anyway, thanks all for your comments. Sorry this post was intended as a message for some sellers to contact me, and it escalated into a mini rant ( certainly justified. ) , its clear that if sellers do not respond to adverts timeously, it is frustrating for potential buyers.

Fully agree with Lowball offers, but plain courtesy also does not cost anything. Again, the seller wants to sell his goods, he should be putting in the effort of communicating with all potensial buyers, but in my case relevant to this post, it was a simple " Hi, Im interrested, whats you number please" Followed by no feedback for more than 2 days.
