  1. Lost a bike due to bike jacking. My bike went into Langa Area. Never saw it or an advert trying to sell it. I'm convinced there is guys stripping the bike for parts and chopping up the frames. Especially high end. The frames is the most recognisable item. 90% of the parts are sold on. maybe a few bikes,10-20% are sent across borders to family members. Heard scary stories of how delivery scooters are stripped into parts and packaged and sent to Malawi and Zim.
  2. Hi. Looking for some advice please. So my eldest turned 18yrs and was kicked of my family Vitality program. He enjoyed the benefit for the discounted gym membership with Virgin active and movies. Anyone have tips on what will be the easiest and most cost effective way to get him back onto Vitality for the 2 benefits above . I don't have Medical aid with Discovery but only a Life assurance intergrater policy. TIA
  3. Hi guys, I'm looking for an Easton Echo freehub body, Shimano, for EA90 SL wheel. Agents out of stock and no idea when they will get in again. Can anybody help please...TIA
  4. I once did a ghetto tubeless conversion and just coudn't get the tyre to seal on the rim. no matter what i tried. Eventually with my tail between my legs i went to my LBS. explained to the machi what i did... few minutes later he returned with the wheels seated and sealed.... i asked him what was the magic trick.... he told me some rim/tyre combos u need an extra layer of tape....
  5. did the same on my 2014 spark. used the FD port upfront quik and easy. there is a little door just above the BB under neath.. open it up to help guide the cable. works like a charm.
  6. HI, i had exact same issue with my Ultegra 11spd. Eventually decided t check what was happening. all the other gears indexed perfectly. Decided to pull the cable out (also internal routing) at the shifter and thats where i saw the cable started "fraying" inside the shifter and would not let it shift into the smallest gear. replaced and lubed a new cable also cleaned the old existing housing. Its 100% now. hope this helps. ps. make sure there are no small bits of dirt or old cable in the shifter.
  7. +1 for debbie @dynamicbikefit
  8. damn its looks like it is. pick up a cop at athlone saps and go and collect it.
  9. 29 maxwell street. kempton Park, i think. thats what i searched on google maps.
  10. I had a smiliar if not exact exp. Also husband and wife story and the paypal requests. Exactly the same lines as u posted above. I asked a few questions as to what camera they were going to use the camera lenses on....as they didn't even ask about condition or reason for sale. Just wanted to buy it. H even wanted me to send it via PnP aramex bag.... i just ignored him. The supplied address also showed some creepy place in GP. The best part is " i wont be accepting the parcel myself, my doorman will be" scammers on FB marketplace.
  11. Thanks for this. Will give it a try. Thought maybe my setup was not correct or maybe that I should of just gone with the xt.
  12. Hi, anybody have a B class merc with a clip on bike rack to the rear tailgate? which one are u using.? trying to find any info online but cant seem to. TIA
