Amazing

Me when everyone is complaining about everything.

Lol

oof

@andrews2547 is that bicycle wheels?

yes

Why so expensive?

Zipp is the Versace of bicycle wheels, high quality but also very expensive

Why is the rear more expensive than the front?

more components

the rear hub is more expensive, the front is just some ball bearings

Oh. It is about R47 000 in total... You are probably a bicycle fanatic

yes

also I'm not actually buying them, I just wanted to see how much they are

Yeah been looking at bows, damn the prices of quality sometimes lol

for that price, I can get this

That is a racing bike, right?

yes

I couldn't afford more than 12k for my bikecycle

Wonder what the difference is though riding a 12k bike and a 47k bike

honestly, not much

Yeah same the bows lol

wait, no

Yeah lol

sweet spot for price to performance with bicycles is around £1000 (R17K) for metal, £2000 (R35K) for carbon

Got me a titan sport

Most bikes outsource their parts. My brother is a bike fanatic and hes part are all from different vendors.

It's actually a blessing to have international standards and not be restricted to proprietary standards

Carbon has no resale scrap value. So the changes of being stolen is less

luckily, bicycles being stolen where I live isn't really a thing, at least if you're on it

the only times people steal bicycles here is when you leave it locked somewhere outdoors or during burglaries and I live in an area where 3 burglaries in 2 months was enough to make local news

@andrews2547 in South Africa bike riders get rob on bike paths. And then they loose their wallet cellphones and everything. Atleast you can insure your bike.

If local news would report on every burglary in South Africa it would be still reporting the previous week's news every day.

Remember when there was no bad news to report world wide?

Yes. Just Before Adam and Eve ate the fruit

Mosquitoes are gang Raping me.

Lol

Wasn't there a time, I think in the 1930s and maybe even more recently in the 70s or 80s a time where there was no news to report.

1930's great depression

Nowadays everything is news. Even lies that fake accounts on twitter spreads

Yeah of course, stop feeding the monster... But people cannot stop the craving for attention, and it will be their downfall for 15min of fame or some comforting lies.
