Eugene Posted October 7, 2018 Share Interesting, didn't know that. SA obviously doesn't have that law?They do. Regulations 186 & 187 of the National traffic act requires certain reflectors on bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted October 7, 2018 Share Do you have the vaguest idea why bikes come with reflectors on the spokes?It's the law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacoo Posted October 7, 2018 Share Good dayThis Makro special might look like a armgat bike which it is but for some of us this is the ultimate.Out of the box setup was extremely easy and any person with a set of Allen keys. I will post some more pics tonight and a small review after I've did some cycling.Nice man, now pop off all the reflectors and the plastic disc behind the cassette if it has one. Instantly looks more expensive nathrix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instantly looks more expensive  Wondering if the wheels will allow also for tubeless, not that it necessary, but curious. I have to say that bike looks very nice and at the fun rides I would be expecting to see some of them turn up if so, then I think Makro have brought a positive change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyres, on the other hand... MrJacques 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanny Posted October 7, 2018 Share Would a 2016 Silverback Spectre 29er tubeless and air shocks for R5,5k be a better buy than the Makro’dales ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximis Posted October 7, 2018 Share So, I went down to Makro in toti after coming across this thread. I am keen to get my Mrs one of these bikes, trail 5, as they offer quite a bit of bang for your buck and if she doesn’t quite enjoy riding ( which is highly possible ) I haven’t broken the bank.  It is VERY well specced for the price and I would have taken one had they had the right size which is a small... the guys on the floor are clueless and could not tell me weather or not they will have any different sizes coming in - in fact they could tell me anything... anyway, having gone through many bikes over the years, the trail 5 is an excellent entry level option for the price. If anybody can advise on if they know what sizes will be available and where, please let me know!! Edited October 7, 2018 by Maximis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
