Bump, hope hubbers returning from holiday can assist

A quick revive anyone where I can source this locally?

Good day Hubbers I threw my anthem carbon 27.5 wheelset on my gravel bike, everything is compatible so far other than front hub being 15mm thru axle and my bike being 12 mm. I saw the following product https://www.velofuze.com/thru-axle/15mm-thru-axle-adapter-to-12mm-thru-axle/ can any recommend it or something similar? Do they work? Not damage the hub? Lastly anyone know where to source it locally? Thanks and happy new year

Reviving a old thread anyone in Jozi who can assist with 3dprinting at a reasonable rate please pm me

Appreciate the advise, Im not really racing so going for the expierence and the views, so agree use the bike I have available

Good day Hubbers, Got an opportunity to go to do Sani2C next year. I currently ride a gravel bike (Momsen R355) anyone else complete this race on a gravel bike, and what is your experience of it?

Good day Hubbers, anyone know where to get cheap gopro accesories (China Market etc) in Johannesburg. I bought a cheap gopro 4 for R600 but the housing etc. that I have been able to source is almost as much as the camera, I'm just mucking about so not wanting to invest alot. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Good day Hubbers Please advise on the current condition of the trails, I read somewhere recently they had a bit of damage after storms. Further please advise if the trails are gravel bike friendly? Which trails (green, blue etc.) would you suggest for someone riding a gravel bike? Thanks

Interesting idea, I know my frame has routing for it if I am correct, will keep an eye out on the hub for options. I assume a dropper makes downhills alot less scary.

Momsen R355 One (https://momsenbikes.com/2020-archive/r355-one/). Absolutely in love with the colour scheme, also conveniently colour matches my current bikepacking bags. As with my previous Norco Revolver, gona now start doing small upgrades here and there to suit my needs, for now only upgraded the tires Maxxis Rambler 45c, and stuck my carbon aerobars on. Next item I rate will be a carbon / suspension seatpost

Joined the dark side, sold the MTB and I have to say I'm very pleasantly suprised.

Good day Hubbers, I am aware of the saying that the best bike for bikepacking is the bike you own, but having done a few excursions it appears that not all bikes are created equally for the task. I noted from my excursions that the gents that rode with me on the gravel bikes were having a much easier time of it with the mixed riding (road/gravel etc.). Any thoughts on this? Here is a picture of my current rig, would you hang on to same or dive into the gravel bike scene - considering I can only afford one proper bike at a time.

@Stevovo unfortunately not, I found Global Shopper to be a mess. Although I have found a alumimium and carbon option that does deliver directly to South Africa via Aliexpress itstelf. Looking at doing the alu option next month if budget allows. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004940617279.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000014.3.29fac848oxZUEz&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreOtherSeller&scm=1007.40000.320564.0&scm_id=1007.40000.320564.0&scm-url=1007.40000.320564.0&pvid=923b0e00-09e8-4963-935a-49e0a2084da3&_t=gps-id:pcDetailBottomMoreOtherSeller,scm-url:1007.40000.320564.0,pvid:923b0e00-09e8-4963-935a-49e0a2084da3,tpp_buckets:668%232846%238114%23709&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id"%3A"12000031093556245"%2C"sceneId"%3A"30050"}&pdp_npi=2%40dis!ZAR!1690.16!1690.16!!!!!%402101d1b216740692979052328e11c9!12000031093556245!rec https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004748474113.html?spm=a2g0o.best.moretolove.6.72e32c25hgLTN7&gps-id=pcBestMore2Love&scm=1007.40000.317776.0&scm_id=1007.40000.317776.0&scm-url=1007.40000.317776.0&pvid=4dc517db-95de-4285-82bc-1f489673d8cf&_t=gps-id:pcBestMore2Love,scm-url:1007.40000.317776.0,pvid:4dc517db-95de-4285-82bc-1f489673d8cf,tpp_buckets:668%232846%238114%23709&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id"%3A"12000030328572871"%2C"sceneId"%3A"30000"}&pdp_npi=2%40dis!ZAR!915.17!832.87!!!!!%402101fd4b16740690025076252e380d!12000030328572871!rec

No to shabby, but alot more focus on good lines compared to the Norco Optic I had before

I believe 2018 Fs2. Was thinking same ball park in terms of pricing. Appreciate.

Hey Hubbers, whilst this thread is up what would be considered a ballpark fair price for my Norco Revolver, Lefty Carbon Fork, Fox Factory Rear Shock , Xtr crank, Gx Derailleur, Slx Brakes, Ritchey Trail Bar, FSA Carbon Seatpost.

Good day gents sorry for reviving this old thread but found a viable alternative option - reviews are generally good: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004245702828.html Import is just the issue, anyone know of an alternative way of getting it here?

Good day Hubbers Please provide some suggestions on bike shops (Gauteng, preferably Johannesburg) where I can have my lefty fork serviced? Thanks

Cheap option: https://www.takealot.com/momsen-integrated-top-tube-box-white/PLID91266320?gclid=Cj0KCQjw166aBhDEARIsAMEyZh5_FVLJeaiP6EItYPLkenJcLh_-Jw0vuIRtz3goQWeQzq49UfTpS18aAqh8EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Good day Hubbers Anyone know where I can purchase affordable fork cargo cage to carry a dry bag / tent / sleeping bag etc. Alternatively has anyone ever gone the DIY route and made their own one, would it be something that I could look at 3d printing? Any and all advise is appreciated.

Here is light option for you: https://www.takealot.com/knog-pwr-lighthead-600lm-black/PLID72873847

You You might be right, still feels like alot of money for them

Good day Hubbers Looking at options to raise my aero bars (Profile Design Sonix CSX). I checked some options but only found profile designs official option and for about R950.00 it seems a ton of money. Does anyone know of anyone willing to try and 3d print these, and do you rate they would be strong enough?

Thank you @Dusty much appreciated.

Good day All of those sound awesome. If it not too much effort will you please forward the gpx's for all of them. Much appreciated.
