  1. Used to ride years ago and really enjoyed it (mainly trail). I previously had a full suspension bike(s) - been through a few over the years. Want to get back into cycling and was thinking of buying a hardtail (based on not wanting to break the bank, and relatively chilled riding). Will I regret it? Will it kill my back and knees? Never ridden a hard tail before but thinking about picking up a 140mm Trek Roscoe. Appreciate your input ;)
  2. Since early 2019. Yes regularly serviced
  3. This isn't an option. Aramex don't help with the package until it's reached them, and bizarrely a lot of european import duties are paid cash to the delivery driver upon delivery. So i've had a few items return to sender as I couldn't use my euro aramex forwarding address as there was no way to pay duties. Lame!
  4. @Wayne pudding Mol i've got the Rock Shox Monarch that came on the bike available if you need it.
  5. Hey bud. FOX FLOAT DPS Factory Rear Shock Evol SV 3-Pos 7.25x1.75 2021 972-01-465 2021 - brand new shock. No knocking at the top it fits perfectly
  6. Replaced the Rock Shox Monarch with a Fox Factory Float DPS
  7. I want to add a dropper post - large frame Pyga Stage. What size do people usually go with? 100mm? I'm 1.79m I've replaced the 100mm SID world cup with a Fox 34 Factory SC 120mm. Very happy with it!
  8. Just didn't fall in love with the Santa Cruz Tallboy 3. Here's a (new to me) PYGA Stage I took off the carbon rims and put on some SPANK 350's with Hope hubs.
  9. Hi all! What’s the weight limit for the Deed Propel Carbon rims used on the Pyga Stage? Asking for a friend *cough*.
  10. Hi there! Can anyone advise on the cost to service a rockshox reverb dropper? And where in JHB would be best? Thanks kindly Matt
  11. Hi all, Sold my Specialized Camber (loved that bike), and was looking for a PYGA. As luck would have it I came across a Santa Cruz Tallboy3 and jumped on it (always loved Santa's, never thought i'd own one.) Being a bit pedantic, I put in a brand new Eagle XX1 black full groupset, brand new fox factory float rear shock, serviced and upgraded fox 34 factory fork, and I took the frame to Carbon Bike Repair for a custom respray (matte black with gloss black decals). The bike of my dreams, so why on earth am I still itching for a PYGA?
  12. Dudes name is Komkommer on the hub. He’s selling that purple frame
  13. Hi all. Considering selling this bike and buying something different. All dependant on what this is worth? Bike is in mint condition and just serviced. Upgraded drivetrain to SRAM Eagle XX1 and front fork to Fox34 Float Factory Kashima coating. Pardon the pic - snagged off my instagram. I've just replaced the orange fork decals with black. What would this be worth?
  14. Upgraded my 1x11 GX drivetrain for 1x12 XX1 Eagle with 34T at the front. Very happy with the ride!
  15. I'm riding a 2017 Camber Comp Carbon that comes with a Rockshox Revelation. I want to upgrade to a Fox 34. My bike currently had 120mm of travel in the front and I would like to keep it like that. I see some bikes have Fox 34's with 120mm from factory but when looking on eBay etc I see they only come with 140mm or so. Can these be converted to 120mm later? Is it safe to buy and make changes on it at a later date? Whats the best option for me? Thanks, Matt
  16. Don't the gold just get crazy dirty looking almost immediately?
  17. I ride primarily MTB. So when looking for a road bike part of my concern was the change in positioning from MTB to road as well as the stiffness of not having a shock. The Zerts inserts definitely help dampen the shock of the road, the bike is super comfortable and light and handles all i've thrown at it. Very happy with my purchase! I'd try knock the price down a little more
  18. Thanks for the replies. Picked up some Jawbreaker Photochromic's as I do plenty early morning riding and the main issue I have is bugs rather than needing to reduce glare from the sun
