The expat cyclist Posted April 25, 2016 Author Posted April 25, 2016 Wow. I was about get to get popcorn for this. Myles is on the money. Good luck in finding a picture of the drive side of the wheel.I had a lefty for four years and maybe that was my problem - missed the change in technology. Also, the axle shown is that of an SLR and not the SL. And the one in Patch's picture is the centre lock which has a different part number than the six bolt. Just be aware of that also. Anyway, price of the complete axle is R500. Asked the store if they were willing to meet me halfway. They said, bring it in and maybe they have something in the workshop. Not going to happen - they in another city. I will pay the R500 and rather have to correct thing as opposed to something. So if you own an online store and you happen to read this:1. Make sure that what is available on line is actually available.2. Make sure that what is purchased online is what is actually shipped. I recently wanted colored rotor bolts. I needed twelve bolts. Online said 6 bolts per packet. I ordered two packets...and recieved 24 bolts as the content was actually 12 bolts per packet.3. Make sure that what you ship, gets some sort of quality control. People shop online for ease of use. So getting it right is cardinal - I don't want to phone you back because stuff recieved is broken/damaged/wrong.

How much were the wheels?
PhilipV Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 so we are discussing R500? How much were the wheels?And how much did he save by buying online? I hope it was more than R500. I think if you are not mechanically inclined not noticing a missing part is understandable. But then maybe a person who isn't mechanically inclined shouldn't be buying online and fitting components themselves.
NotSoBigBen Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 That was the front assembly... Here it is with the back assembly too, for those who runs forks on the rear. Jissis oke I am going through keyboards here at such a rate with you bloody clowns
raptor-22 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 so we are discussing R500? How much were the wheels? and his time to get the issue sorted that should not have occurred in the first place.The hours spent on this little debacle exceeds the R500 for a new axle by quite some margin.
Patchelicious Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 and his time to get the issue sorted that should not have occurred in the first place.The hours spent on this little debacle exceeds the R500 for a new axle by quite some margin.Especially if you include the time spent on this thread. If he had called the online shop first, that portion probably would been avoided though.
igg Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Especially if you include the time spent on this thread. If he had called the online shop first, that portion probably would been avoided though.And the collective working man hours to read and respond to this thread!Monday entertainment; I've already done my 8 hours for the day though.
Rocket-Boy Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Brunox would have solved this quickstixxHeck it even fixes scratched stanchions so you are probably correct.

Thor Buttox Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Heck it even fixes scratched stanchions so you are probably correct.I am still trying to figure out the Loctite theory from the other thread. Wish I was technically minded...
BaGearA Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Depends on what you make in an hour I guess.How much for the those 12 bolts you now don't need? What color are they?
The expat cyclist Posted April 25, 2016 Author Posted April 25, 2016 How much for the those 12 bolts you now don't need? What color are they? They are red. Would you believe they are coinsidently R500?
Patchelicious Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Remember the hub rule #1: No matter the complaint, the OP is at fault. Remember this. It is the hub's function to find out how/why.That's nonsense. When the OP puts a certain level of effort in trying to resolve the matter amicably first, or puts all the facts on the table, the Hub usually rallies behind them. I can remember quite a few, most recently Hayleys frame issue.... It's when people post prematurely or irrationally that the guys react like that. People tend to post in an angry state and therefore not always rationally, it's called a rant. Rants are by definition not rational and often counter productive. If you want a productive response, don't rant?
