Alternatively http://ocorner.co.za seems to offer most services the full oakley site offers. They may also be able to assist.

Pienk is pienk, maar ‘n Grizl is ‘n Grizl 😜🤣
Give Kean Bikes a go as well - the do rigid carbon forks as well. Presume they will do boost and non-boost 
Well, for what it’s worth…
I’m using a rapide hanger extender to fit a 11-46T 10spd cassette with my GRX RD-RX400 rear derrailleur (34T max) and it works smoothly. 🤘

Enjoy the dot watching, my friends are still upset with me over my 11h stay over last year at Britstown that caused some of them to have mild heart attacks… 🤣
The heart attacks were almost real.. hahahaha

weird thing about this gravel bike is that I bought it with 40mm tires and quickly realized they were rubbing the frame and fork.. damaging the fork.. paint damage on the alloy frame.. you can’t really go bigger than 35🤷🏼♂️.. maybe 38 but it would have to be slick I reckon.. I’m now on 32 and very happy with that.. gives good clearance and nice on the road..
I’ll look in the classifieds for carbon.. 😃
thanks for the advice mate.!😉🤙🏻
I'm can comfortably fit 38c Maxxis Ramblers on my Scott Speedster 30 (2020).
Which year model is yours? Are the wheels 135mm QR or 142 through axle at the back? I presume the former if the tire clearance is what you have (newer models are factory specced with 45c tyres).
And have a chat to Rapide - they build some decent wheels at sensible prices!
Pretty sure you can walk past. Not sure what the rest of the road looks like, but that bit is toast!
South Industries are local as well...
There's also Kean Bikes that do carbon imports. Have seen them advertising carbon wheelsets on the Hub. Enjoy the shopping!

Give A-Type Grafix a try. Had an original batch made by bicistickers.com - very good quality, but about R15/sticker. Then had A-Type do the same thing for the same price, but got about 200 stickers in stead of 12....
Give Ruan Chamberlain a shout at ruan@a-type.co.za - they will do pretty much anything you need!
Cheers,

On 9/22/2020 at 11:23 AM, MarcHD said:Kicking things off, we would like to offer a very brief overview of the many riders out there who may be requiring assistance when it comes to DT Swiss parts or services.
As many of you may already know, DT Swiss is one of the most widely represented brands in the world due largely to it's use by many well known bike brand's as the source of things like hub internals, spokes, nipples or complete hubs and wheel sets.
Some examples of brands which have used DT Swiss parts on their own brand of wheels, either in the past or still to the present day: (as of September 2020)
- Specialized's Roval wheels
- Giant's own brand wheels
- Scott's Syncros wheels
- Trek's Bontrager wheels
If you include brands which have at some point used, or continue to use non OEM DT parts (meaning a DT part you could purchase off the shelf) the list grows even bigger:
- Cannondale
- Santa Cruz
- Yeti
- KTM
- BMC
- Norco
- Storck
- Commencal
- YT
- Ibis
- Rocky Mountain
- Pivot
- Niner
- Ellsworth
- Ridley
et al
If you are riding any model of bike, although usually from "mid tier" and up (R40k+ price range) from one of these brands, you are very likely rolling on some DT Swiss products.
It stands to reason we have done our best in researching our market well and do our best as a distributor to import as many of the applicable spares required for all of the aforementioned brands within reason.
Hi Guys,
Some background... My scott spark rc 900 comp 2020 has syncros silverton 2.5 wheels fitted with a standard HG/shimano freebody. I would presume that the hubs are some form of DT Swiss (3 pawl) as per the post above. The end caps however do not just pop off (as one can see in the dt swiss tutorials on youtube) - they require a 11mm hex to remove. If I wanted to move to an XD drive, would the standard 3 pawl xd driver with through axel end cap (as sold by bike-addict or cyclelab) be sufficient? Or is there a different solution to this?
Thanks!
Christo
Dropped @gemmerbalat the Worcester shuttle a little while ago. He’s good to go!
Let’s do this!
Last trip down Ouberg in May - with @gemmerbal. Was interesting..... Fortunately light enough to mostly see where you're going. Nice and fresh -6 degrees just to make it fun... hahaha

T-minus 2 days! Good luck guys and girls!
5 hours ago, gemmerbal said:lekker post, I will do a similar one when time permits. For me, Ouberg pass is where the only real life threatening obstacle is located. I did a Sutherland to Padstal recce there earlier this year and from what Alex has said last night, the pass is washing away rapidly and the chances are good that this MIGHT be the last Munga to go down Ouberg as the local municipality has stopped maintaining it. If what he is saying is true, going down that pass at night, tired and with an ever encroaching drop off on both sides in some places, is going to take some serious focus.
Good luck and see you at the finish line!
Look, not riding this monster… but Ouberg is a serious concern - particularly if it’s dark. Horrible road surface and dangerous drops both sides at times. Might be worth your while to tackle that in daylight 😬
This is such a boost! Fantastic!
