  1. What a great job, Rob. You've really done that frame justice. Glad it's gone to a good home.
  2. Hey! I did. Sold all my bikes bar the X. Starting running. Been a nice break - almost 4 years! Kids are older now and riding so it’s time to get back into it...
  3. Hi all See ad below. Contemplating getting back into SS mtb’ing if anyone has a worthwhile swop. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/383268-cotic-x-offers-or-swop/
  4. Hi All See ad below if anyone’s interested. Looking at reviving my SS mtb days if someone has a swop... https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/383268-cotic-x-offers-or-swop/
  5. Provided your 26" frame has canti bosses...
  6. Thanks for the positive feedback Frosty - we're glad you enjoyed our event. Ryanpmb - Husqvarna SA
  7. Stoked with my new 'real' beast...
  8. Done... my Cotic Simple trail machine...
  9. I've my hands all over that X. She's real sweet, but can be dirty . Enjoy the ride.
  10. I don't spend that much time here anymore, and only came across this thread today. I shed a tear when a got towards the end and read the sad sad news. Tumbleweed and I shared a common interest in many threads and it's through these interactions and reading many of his posts that I 'know' him. We have never met but he is one of a group of hubbers that I would have liked to have met. To me, the fact that I am so sad over the loss of someone I have not met, is testimony to his character. Tumbles, your pics, comments, stories of your pooches & your presence will be missed. RIP friend.
  11. I can supply a 853 sticker for R8.
  12. Now someone's just showing off.
  13. 100% Not discouraging any sales. As I said above - pretty sure amongst this fraternity that most guys keep things genuine. If we see a Giant with one these stickers then we know! Haha!
  14. If it ain't 853 it shouldn't be decal'd 853.
  15. Same thing to me. But, I think there's very few 'M badgers' amongst us ????????
  16. ...this may have happened ????
  17. Foresees everyone with a steel bike suddenly 'owning' a 853 steel frame...
  18. A good quality set of carbon bars make a notable difference. Specifically on corrugated type terrain.
  19. Sliding dropout chain tug with a built in hanger probably being used. That, or it's actually a Solaris.
  20. I'll take the tyres back Have dropped you a PM.
  21. What hubs are they? If possible, change the end caps...
  22. There is a link above with info. It seems a popular race amongst those who have done it. Why not do the race and decide for yourself. If you're looking for Sani2c/ Berg & Bush type popularity I don't think you'll find it with this race. But if adventure, scenic real riding and quality time in Berg is what you're after, then I'd say this is a race you'll enjoy.
  23. Potential sarcasm aside, I think it's a lack of understanding of what the OP is proposing. Or simply a case of not reading the 'exam question' properly prior to answering - keyboard warrior.
  24. What's your reasoning here?... chainline will be a whole lot less of an issue than on a 1x10/11 setup. Double chainring, single sprocket, tensioning device. If the sprocket is getting mounted on a free body that can receive a cassette, with spacers, one can adjust the spacing to pretty much sit the sprocket right in the middle of the chainrings. Really don't see a chainline problem at all...?
