Sarah Hill. She is currently in Cape Town for Cape Epic. Not sure when she will be going back to Johannesburg( she resides there). You can probably contact her on Instagram.

Expensive bikes (top end bikes for athletes) has been a thing for a long time. If these bikes are targeted at pro cycling teams, why are they advertised to the general consumers. Seems like if they mention the prices of these bikes, lots of comments gets made. Why not just exclude some of the details. That's just my opinion

As already mentioned, it is not a normal brake. When you apply brakes, the motor will automatically cut out due to the sensor in the lever. Not sure of the exact pricing, but it should be around that price inc labour to bleed. Sportsman's warehouse is not a bikeshop, so don't be surprised if they just want to send it back to the manufacturer. I assume you bought the bike there, hence taking it back to them. Please support your Local Bike Shop

Is anyone familiar with the hubs on the bike (expert model). Formula 511 front hub and Formula 3248 rear hub. Is it sealed bearing hubs? Can you get a microspline freehub for this hub?

I would recommend the Maxxis Crossmark II. They do not wear out fast when riding on tar

Anyone interested in a 8speed campagnolo road groupset? Wheels with cassette, f+r derailleur, shifters and bars. Clearing out the parts bin

sounds like cable tension is not correct or the cable is sticky in the housing. It can also be a bent derailleur hanger or cage. Regarding your spokes. If the other nipple/spokes of the rest of the wheel is not corroded, then simply replacing those 2 spokes will not be a problem

Maybe Candice Lill will team up with Tyler Jacobs again after her first W2W last year 🤔

Shimano does a 11speed drivetrain with a 11-51t cassette that fits hg freehub body. Called m5100. Cassette looks identical to the 12speed deore apart from the one gear missing. You will need to buy the m5100 derailleur to work with the big 11speed cassette. The current shifter should work on that derailleur

Soon🤫🤐

This orbea is very good value👌

I would go for a rigid fork. If there aint any stantions, they can't get damaged

Don't think so, max would either be 29X2.25 or 2.35

Make sure the axle type(qr or thru-axle, boost or non boost) will work with your wheels and that the steerer will be long enough for your headtube

New the Reba is between R10 000 and R13 000. 2nd hand about R3500 to R6000. Suntour would be cheaper. Not sure of the price

The quality of lower end RS fork have just decreased dramatically. It is the light "black" coating wearing off. Personally, I would say this is 100% normal. Have prob seen about 50 of the newer Judy and Recon forks do the same. The coating on the Reba is very good if you take care of the fork. Other fork options in that price range would be Manitou Markhor( I have one and is exactly 4 years old with about 10 000km on. 0 Stantion wear) ,Suntour XCR (Air version) and older Rock Shox Recon and the Reba on the Hub

Fork is better yes, drivetrain not (compared to the 2nd hand one at cycle lab)

Yes, think you are correct about replacing the rear shock with a 190x45mm. Also remember the bike has a flip chip, changing the geo numbers

Rs is the 100mm travel front and rear, race spec. Non RS is 120mm travel front and rear. Also look at the Cypher 120 Limited Aluminum or Carbon if your budget allows. Aluminum is the same price range as the carbon dash. The limited comes with great components like GX Drivetrain, DT Swiss wheels, fork and shock, sram Level TL Brakes @Titan Racing BikesI wish there was a Cypher 120 Limited Carbon under the christmas tree with my name on it

I think it is a very nice bike apart from the fork and brakes. Don't know the Trek Rims at all. Also see they have Shimano hubs on there. Are they cup and cone or proper sealed bearing hubs? How is the Transx dropper holding up?

Thank you very much for the offer. Unfortunately I am either on a Large or X Large

Where can one test ride the rapide frame?

Jip, it's definitely Friday

GX Axs will be heavier compared to the mechanical equivalent. I would personally stay with the regular xx1. No batteries to worry about. Brand new the gx axs kits sell for about 10k-12k, not sure about second hand price

One day only has some assos bibs they selling, seems like a good deal. "Limited Sizes"
