Hi guys, Where in South Africa can I buy replacement bolts / screws for my visor? I can't seem to find any. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Seems to be a common problem. Also noticed this after having the bike serviced. Sucks, but the damaged is already done.

Anyone know the price of the new Santa Cruz Bronson (Alu) R build in South Africa? Can’t seem to find any pricing.

So you totally avoid that path even when there are not pedestrians on it and opt to drive in the road instead? I'm just trying to understand the logic here. Whenever I can avoid the roads (cars) I try to take the safer route. But I guess it's easier gambling with your life it seems.

Encountered so many riders not riding single file on the road going out of Jonkies. There is a bike lane out of harms way? Why ride in the road? Two abreast? So many cars had to sway into oncoming traffic to avoid these cyclists! Zero f**ks given. I'm a biker myself and *ssholes like these make my blood boil.

I think it’s the ones I picked up. Let me know how I can get it to you

Found 2 sun glasses on the road heading out of Hoogekraal. Let me know if it’s yours.

Thanks for the advice. This just confirmed to me that no LBS can be trusted. NONE! Will klap this on my own from now on, screw bike shops.

jissus, just when you thought you have it sorted with bike shops. FFS!

Hi, I recently took my bike in for a service. (It's a stock standard Giant Reign 2 with Deore / SLX setup - 2x10). The service was around R2400. It was a major service + the following had to be replaced: ChainCassetteFront chain ring (small one)CablesJockey pulleysNow, 150km in (one ride in that 150km was a shuttle day where minimum pedalling was required) after the service I snapped the chain. After "Gwinning" back to the start of the trail the local bike shop tells me the chain is worn out and the cassette shows signs of wear, also the jockey pulleys needs replacing because it's shifting the chain off the cassette / crank. R340 later (new chain fitted /labour/shifting checked) I am able ride home. Do I need to get a better (more expensive) drivetrain? Is the way I am shifting gears the problem? Do I need to have a bike check after each ride? Would a "simpler" setup like a 1x11 sort out the issue? How the hell do you enjoy your hobby if have to haemorrhage money the whole time?

Hi, I need some advice. I want to slap a Race Face Aeffect Crankset onto my Giant Reign and move to a 1x11 setup. Do I need a new bottom bracket to fit this crankset? I currently have the stock standard BB that came with the bike, think it's a Shimano pressfit BB?

Is the Alpinestars brand a good brand? I really thought so, having seen how many pro's use their products. I was treated to a very nice birthday present from my wife back in March, with which I got myself the Allmountain Frame Protection kit for my bike and a pair of Alpinestars Flow mtb gloves. The gloves, valued at around R549 (if I could remember correctly) was used for 12 rides only - exactly (according to my Strava) 12 rides in .... Over R500. My previous gloves lasted for 2 years. Lots of riding. Thor gloves. Is this normal? My wife feels gutted about the gift. I am speechless. What do I do? (Yes, I had 2 beers after my last enduro)

Want to buy a helmet from these guys. do yous till pay import duties/vat etc. on top of the shipping price??

Are there any shops in SA that stock the Giro Swichblade helmets? From the official site, Omnico is listed as the distributor. I enquired from them but the reply was to get from overseas. Great

Reading the comments here it sound more like the HateEPIC. (#hateEPIC) I'm sticking to the downhill & enduro group. You don't see this BS there.

With all the bikes being stolen off Thule racks, is it really a viable option?

Seems like these Thule bike racks are quite useless and they don't come cheap. What's the use then if it's so easy to steal a bike off them?

Came across this page with micro adventures around Cape Town. Anybody else doing something similar in Western Cape? http://www.bicyclecapetown.org/microadventures/ and the concept of MicroAdventures..

Thanks 'Dale & Iwan ????

Will do????

I know know guys like Greg Minnaar,Cedric Gracia, Josh Bryceland, Remy Metailler if you catch my drift...

From all the posts above only one reply was actually constructive / answered my question.

Exactly, was looking for something different. Every shop has Oakley, Arnette etc.
