ibruegge Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Hi there, flew up to Joburg this morning, my bike is now broken. Ran to the expo just in time, Solomon's drove me to their work shop, they can't fix it either (bearing broken), they were amazing - but I am no without a bike. So sad - am 1.93m, anyone got a bike?
Tjokkits Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 sorry no bike but now how do they break a bearing, derailers and oher external but bearing? they must have tried hard
SpecialK Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 So sorry to hear that, they should at least pay for the repair. Got a large 11year old Giant OCR3 without pedals standing around. Don't think it will fit you though...
ibruegge Posted November 17, 2012 Author Posted November 17, 2012 Wow. Solomon's is lending me a brand new bike for the race. Am speechless. Caerus, RiderX, singletrackgirl and 12 others 15
SpecialK Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Thats great news! May you have a fantastic race. You might even want to buy the bike when you're done
dracs Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Nice one - must say I had a "little" impulse purchase myself from Soloman's at the expo.. This has made me let go of my buyer's remourse! (the 20% off sticker price also helped...)
Dusty Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 This is the sort of service I have experienced from Solomons Woodmead over the last few years.
ZakAttak Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Even though I'm based in Cape Town, Solomons really went outta their way to try and help me with what i was looking for, despite all the bad ranting about their service...they are a great bunch and great to deal with too
LOSMEICHERIE Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 Wow. Solomon's is lending me a brand new bike for the race. Am speechless. wow :-)
Big H* Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 How did Kalula break a bearing? Well done Solomon's. Is this just a new scam to get a better bike for rceday???? ibruegge 1
ibruegge Posted November 18, 2012 Author Posted November 18, 2012 How did Kalula break a bearing? Well done Solomon's. Is this just a new scam to get a better bike for rceday????Hahaha. Finished race, in pain, cause I think new bike wasn't the right size - but hey, beats not riding at all. The headset bearings were cracked open when we took the bike out the bag. Solomon's has also never seen anything like it - and it's not a closed bearing so we couldn't replace the bracket holding the balls. I just hope frame and fork aren't damaged.
scotty Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 Only saw this now. I have a Scott Elite which you could borrowed but well done Solomons for coming through,
GoatBoy Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 Kulula or ACSA ? GLuvsMtb, slowpoke and Green Bean 3
