  1. Hi Hubbers, 1. Need some help to identify the actual model of this hub...( Serial number on the hub comes up blank on Google) 2. The brake side end cap is completely cross threaded and messed up and needs to be replaced. Anyone have a clue where parts are available ? 3. What is needed to run a QR.I bought this from a hubber as a 135x9 QR, but im not sure just a simple axle skewer will do the trick. Looks like QR End caps and 9mm Axle insert type is missing ? 4. This looks like a 10mm TA type hub...if so any idea how to make it work on QR dropouts or should the 10mm TA fit just fine on QR dropouts ?
  2. Halo hubs. Anyone knows who imported / currently importing this brand ?
  3. Hi, do you arrange shipping or do They do the shipping ?
  4. Thanks All for advice, Nick has now completed 3 of our rebuilds.... Thanks Nick !!!
  5. thx All
  6. Hi all, Anyone have the name and number of a senior staff member or owner of the shop please. The general contact number is not helpfull
  7. Hi all, Any recommendations on private wheelbuilders / Shops in Pretoria / Johannesburg to build a MTB wheel.
  8. As a 3 month old member on this forum and mostly a buyer, not a seller, maybe there should be a poll created for/ by buyers.This is based on my experience the last 3 months.Others may differ from my opinion. ( note that lockdown has nothing to do with this) 1- I find it easy/difficult to buy on the classifieds due to incomplete adverts. 2-I find it easy/difficult to buy due to sellers incomplete adverts. 3- I find it easy/difficult to buy due to sellers reluctance to respond timeously. 4- I find it difficult to buy anything due to over inflated prices on used parts / bikes.
  9. Thanks all, Eventually came right, bike now built. One thing that i did learn from this was to support the smaller shops..These huge brand named shops are on the same level as Makro and other similar retailer regarding customer service and staff attitude. Sorry for generalizing, that was my experience in dealing with shops the last few weeks. Thanks all for advice and recommendations.
  10. I did not want to turn this into a ranting thread, however its clear many different opinions of different shops. Thank you for your honesty and advice. I too have experienced the worst service both from CWC and Cycle lab lynnwood the last week even after contacting their head office I do understand shortage of stock, challenges with issues beyond our control, however lack of planning and arrogance by junior staff at store level is another story. No one can get hold of a manager at either of these stores, thus my request for a list of "smaller" shops to move on and support these shops that do appreciate customers business. Regards
  11. Who is that ? dont want to take the wrong advice
  12. Thanks all.
  13. Chains, Quicklink, Chainbreaker tool, Stem spacers, basically a store with just some spares..most places have zero stock.
  14. Hi all, Seems this is the worst time in history to be looking for a selection of MTB parts for a build. Most shops in PTA / JHB area are very under-stocked and the way things are now, I doubt if shops will have a proper selection of products for sale in the near future. Any recommendations for online stores in SA or a link to a list of online stores on this forum perhaps ? (Not CWC & Cycle lab )
