"wcc" for 19k, its now selling for 5k

In the same shop? That's called a ripoff. I hate that feeling. Poor guy.

T.H.E Plastic bike stand that you slip your back wheel into and the bike supposedly stays upright.

Even My Time ZXRS, topping the scales at 6.4kg's falls over, with the stand stuck to the rear wheel.

Argggghhhh I have one too. What a piece of poop!!

You realise I have to pay to download your multiple copies of the same post? This is now my latest "worst purchase"

My wife bought a pair of ryder long fingered gloves, and she hates it. She says its like riding with poastic bags on her hands, and she reverted to riding with her very holey fox gloves...

It has to be the Camelbak drying fan - what a piece of cr@p and it was even featured on a Super Sport product review. :thumbdown:

Take a piece of kitchen paper towel and crumple into a ball. Put the "ball" into the bladder. And close the lid.

 

Inflate the bladder up as big as it will go through the tube side of the bladder. Then shake. The paper towel will start absorbing the moisture. Repeat until the paper doesn't become soggy.

CSA fees went UP from R75 to R120 + provincial affiliate fee.
