DawieO Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Did they give you any idea of delivery timeline? I’ve been on that list since March 2018! Not Cycling related and certainly not yet purchased.But we placed our deposit today and secured our spot in the queue.Tesla Model 3.Here we are at the Auckland dealership playing around with the demo.This is a left hand drive from the states. Obviously our one will have the steering wheel on the correct side. IMG_3142.jpgIMG_3145.jpgIMG_3144.jpg
Wayne Potgieter Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Did they give you any idea of delivery timeline? I’ve been on that list since March 2018! Yes. Premium versions in the next 3-4 months.Base models before the end of the year. Orders are opening is Australia in a couple of weeks. Thats what the 15 year old salesman told me.

Red Bird Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Got this beaut this week ???????? Upgraded from a 2012 Rockshox Sid XX World Cup dual air 80mm fork with hydraulic lockout ????to a Fox Step Cast Performance 100mm. Did some research and got all the bits and bobs to DIY. Hacksaw absent from pic and sick with the flu. Will post pic when all is done. Andrew_Smith, Long Wheel Base, splat and 2 others 5
Edereese Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Purchased a new stem, could not find anything that bolts into stem cover. Decided to go with with a steer tube mount and in my mind reversing it works, haven’t tried it out yet. Looks much better vs on top of the stem. Pulse, Andrew_Smith and Long Wheel Base 3
patches Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 The other night I started fitting my bike with the new wheelset (the aforementioned on that started off as a dinged rear rim, and I rationalized my way into purchasing a whole new wheelset). Well... When removing my tyres off my previous wheelset, I noticed all the gunky dried tubeless sealant around the beads. I started pealing it off, then the rationalizing started once again... Like surely these gummed up beads won't seat properly on the shiny new wheelset. And surely it will take me hours, maybe even weeks, to clean that gunk off. Not to mention the bead may get stretched from my efforts... ...and before I knew it, my debit card fell out of my wallet, and I had clicked purchase on a set of these: It's a slippery slope I tell you! A very slippery slope! ...good thing I procured some grip Hairy, Pieter1, Jako De Wet and 10 others 13

When I'm starting to gnaw the bar tape and standing on a climb, my knees have a tendency of striking my stem bolts. I fear I'd break the Garmin mount. karma 1

patches Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) I am just waiting for the new frame and fork to strap those wheels to......... I think I have the situation under control now. It was touch-and-go for a minute there, but it seems the new wheels & tyres will fit on my old bike. Any potential frame and fork budget allocation is being diverted into Bike Room funding, starting with a few of of these: http://cyclesportsilkeborg.dk/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/DfnCv-_XUAsF77r-e1532005645416.jpg No not the Spaz 'tricity bike, or the kids bike. But some Steady Racks, to wall mount the current stable. Edited May 30, 2019 by patches Andrew_Smith, Red Bird and KingZA 3
