Yes, with a 10 speed cassette That sucks, thanks for crushing my hopes and dreams.....????

So quick question then to you clever peoples, can I use a 10speed (XT) shifter with a 9speed (Altus) derailleur ??

Agree with Bob, 40mm is going to be too much change, also, the 2016 Revelation had 32mm stanchions iirc, I had one on my old Stumpy, it wasnt a very good fork, very flexy and always felt quite harsh

The green loop at Modders is +-20km

I want one like this....

I think the guys at Gravity Hub have/had rack mounted on the front of their van, but I assume it was only used for shuttle days

Krankd gear socks are also pretty nice, my wife bought me a couple pairs, length wise probably not as long as you are looking for though

Thanks man, I have another offer pending, but I may take you up on those Will the 11T from a 10speed work, is the spacing not going to be off?

Hey guys, looking for a 10 or 11 speed shifter and rear derailleur, building a bike for my trainer/commuter, willing to pay, looking for something relatively cheap that will work well Oh, and if anyone has a Shimano 11 cassette that is worn mostly in the middle gears, I am looking for a 11T gear to complete an 11 speed cassette that I have lying around

What is happening with the flow/jump line they said they are going to build? Anything been done yet?

I had them for about 6ish months, did not have any issues, I bought those wheels for my old Spez Stumpy, the stock wheels were not great, the Rapide wheels were a HUGE improvement, when I sold my Stumpy I put its stock wheels back on and then sold the Rapide wheels to help fund the new bike because it came with supposedly better wheels, should never have sold the Rapide wheels....

I would also recommend the Rapide rims, I had a set on a previous bike and they were really nice, I personally wouldn't go for the 36mm rims, the 30mm would be my choice At R6k I think they will be hard to beat

That bloody song, now it will be stuck in my head for the next week, thanks Jewy ????

Funny enough, I looked at this same bike a few nights back, it looks like a decent bike for the price, sizing seems on the small side to me though

@MarcHD

Maybe Maxxis Rekon +

I have roof racks over the bed of my bakkie, so the total height is probably lower than most cars, I cant go through drive throughs, the handle bars clip the "minimum height" signs, but I have not had any other issues, but it is something you need to be constantly aware of, just incase... like when coming home, our wall has an arch over the driveway, need to take the bike off before pulling in, touchwood I have never forgot to take the bike off first ????

Highly doubt you will get it at a general hardware store, will most likely need to go to a bearing shop

This is the one....

Just edited my comment, should have said "will hopefully" work into place, no guarantees that it will work 100%

If you can get it out, even it is threaded and it has stripped, you could put it back in with a little Loctite 613 I think it is, it will NEVER come out again, pretty sure if you dripped some around on the seam where the driver meets the body, enough will hopefully work its way between the surfaces that it will work as well

You are 100% correct, it is/was poor technique, it happens in pedaly sections because of poor judgement, I was getting better in any case, after I rode with the shorter cranks I made a conscious effort and improved a lot, but the shorter cranks just felt nicer anyway, and it didn't cost me anything extra, so...... My knees would sometimes get irritated, I wouldn't really say sore, but I could feel a niggle in my knees on some rides, since having the shorter cranks it hasn't happened, so bonus there as well

Previously only rode with 175mm cranks, because thats what all my bikes came with, test rode a bike that had 170mm cranks, honestly couldn't really feel any difference, but my mate commented how I hadn't had any pedal strikes, I pedal strike a lot ???? only then did I find out they were 170mm cranks, so my new bike I specifically asked for 170mm cranks, it has been awesome, no more pedal strikes ???? I actually wouldn't even mind trying 165mm cranks, just to see how they feel....

My old bike also did that, loosened up the seat clamp a little and it stopped doing that, new bike, same thing, with a BikeYoke dropper, but that was a combo of not enough air pressure and the seat clamp being slightly to tight, even though it was torqued to 5nm, now I just go to 4nm

The normal Tubolito? I have some on my bike, haven't had any problems with them, hit a BIG pothole with them, at about 35kmh and they are still fine, got them with a set of wheels I bought, would I buy them new? No, too expensive for me.... I guess just because I haven't had any problems so far though doesnt mean that they aren't actually crap, just a coincidence....
