  1. using the original short cage 05 derailer...
  2. I bought this from Rapide, It was delivered to my door the next day for R268.00 and it works 100% https://www.rapide.co.za/product/rapide-derailleur-hanger-extender/
  3. Thanks, I did speak to the guys at Rapide, and they will be getting in new stock later this week... And according to them their extender can handle up to 50T, the "crisp" is not a big issue, I just need the range on my gravel bike...
  4. FYI, the Di ratios are not the same as the cable pull...
  5. So... my "well known" local bike shop in Pretoria in Graham Rd, seem to have incompetent people working there… The XT derailer DOES NOT WORK on the 105 shifter as I was told… So I’ll have to go for the Wolftooth adaptor, Rapide is out of stock unfortunately…
  6. make sense... the XT i got is comparable with the sprocket set i bought... and the XT is comparable with the 105 shifter...
  7. understood the 105 & XT both are 11spd and the pull ratio on the 105 & XT are the same, i checked this with LSB first...
  8. cool, ill give it bash I have some extra housing I will cut first to test... was just unsure about that angle...but if it works for someone else it work... not gonna buy the extension, already had the expense for the XT
  9. well well.... didnt know about that... Thanks
  10. Hi All I replaced the 105 rear derailer on my Giant gravel bike with an XT derailer to enable me to run a bigger sprocket at the rear. No im a little stock as the "gap" between the cable routing on the frame and the pully on the XT derailer is a bit short...

    Well Done to Bryce!! Yeah the weather really took a turn for the worse on Friday & Saturday... I pulled out on 1380km... just wasn't worth it permanently damaging my knees just to clock a finish... I was on the only rigid gravel bike in the field and did the most gravel of all the participants... still loved it though...
  12. I would actually try to get a lift first... if all else fails...
  13. Hi All Could anyone help me with a lift back from the race? Me and my bike... the back of a bakkie will do as well... I stay in Centurion, but if i can bet back in Pta it will do just fine...
