  1. This is the tyre im getting ..2015 version nobbly nic 2.25 Pacestar Snakeskin
  2. well mabey there might be a good ending to my problem, just had a phone call to say they will be hand delivering the tyre this morning.
  3. yes i was told upon initial email that it would be approx 2weeks, that was on Jan16th.. i only managed to pay on the 23rd ( had a hiccup ) then when i enquired on 27th as to ETA i was told end of the week...and 22 emails later all sent by me asking whats happening im still waiting. Never once have the contacted me first to tell me whats going on.
  4. oh so im not the only one who has been waiting a month now for my tyre.....grrrrrr BAD service = won't buy there again
  5. no it was X1 26er . i would honestly say that possibly a Tad slower on the uphills but only because the anthem was a kg or 2 lighter, on the flats im sure the Trance is slightly quicker and downhill it,s definately quicker....and off course way more FUN ....and the FUN part is exactly why i went for the trance in the first place. Now just to change the *&%# Float for a RS and add a dropper post and then it will be ..wooohoooooo
  6. had a teocali some years back then went to an Anthem ( racing bug bit a little ) now on the Trance. Changed back to the ALL mountain as i missed just Bombing anything ....so far its been totally flippin awesome
  7. Wow saw that yesterday @Giba those pics don,t do it justice ..the Blue is so much better in real life...drooollllll
  8. how is the Durability on them ???
  9. i wish Maxis would bring out the crossmark in a bigger size...2.25 - 2.35
  10. so after a little research i see it weighs 12.75 so about 600 grams lighter than a trance.
  11. Would be interesting to know what the weight difference is between this and a Trance.
  12. i recently sold my X1 for 11k
  13. @ Deanbean....yep Tim is PAW
  14. I think one more person who deserves a mention is Tim Keep who was there as Nedene,s tech/coach but also rode the Masters and came 33rd....on a 29er SINGLE SPEED..
  15. Three bikes im looking at for my wife are all hard tail pretty much entry level but good enough are Giant tempt Titan calypso and mabey trek cali but as the first 2 are 27.5 i think they might be better suited as she not so keen on the 29er of trek
  16. better to ask than just walk on by ....cudos to you Scotty
  17. So it seems i have made a decent repair using the Floss and patch method, i am just going to run a tube for first ride or 2 just to make sure the stiching holds.
  18. definately not just throwing it away ( and anyway as far as i know Crossmark don,t come in a 27.5 x 2.25 ) will definately be doing a repair job. Also just checked out a video on Pinbike where the guy uses a part of an old tire and plenty of glue as he says that sometimes normal patches can stretch and stick out the Hole. I like that Floss idea, i also got a "BOOT" from local LBS but i think they work more with Tubes.
  19. yep it's to big ( funny L shape ) for a plug i think so i thought the patch on the inside would be the deal. Thanks for the advice will give it a go tonight
  20. So this weekend i got a cut in my brand new Nobbly Nic. To big for the Stans to work but i hope to repair it . So it's on top of the tire ( not sidewall ) and is sort of an L shape. Can someone advise me the best way to repair it so i can save the tire and remain tubeless

  25. Anyone come across these guys before MAHOXO MULTI TRADING or AL JO TRADERS 5 Kiaat St, Phalaborwa 1390 ‎Limpopo I saw an advert with them selling Giant Trance & Anthem NEW 2014 and 2013 models at R 10 000.00 Obviously this is very fishy because of the price
