    Just an obsefvation - how many secondhand Scotts do you see on the hub as opposed to Giants
  2. Ysterperd
    As can I, with the current exchange rate mtb is becoming ridiculously expensive
  3. Ysterperd
    They have since new routes - http://www.klapperkop.org.za/

    Nie so seer die maak van nuwe pype nie, maar eerder die installasie in die "crown" van die vurk
  5. Ysterperd
    Sorry, may also be able to do it if you just change spider on the crank - depending on the type of crank
  6. Ysterperd
    Would need a new crank arm, simply dropping a ring would not do anything about chainline
  7. Ysterperd
    can convert any bike to 1/2/3 ring crank. swapping the cranks out is more problematic depending on the BB the various bikes take. There are adapters on the market for GXP to press fit - I however do not know the longevity thereof

    100kg, i run between 1.4(frt) - 1.6(rear) on tubeless tyres

    If the rear hub gets cacked up in mud again, remove cassette and free wheel body and give them a good clean before riding again. Mere rinsing it off is not good enough, the grime/mud tends to get past and into the mechanism
  10. Ysterperd
    Like you say, long shot. Do they even make them in XXXL?
  11. Ysterperd
    Freewheel hub body either dirty or it packed up in which case will mean a replacement
  12. Ysterperd
    reverb is the better more reliable option
  13. Ysterperd
    Should work but bear in mind it is still in essense a 3 ring crank meaing that there is still some cross shifting - second and large ring further away from bottom bracket than would have been the case if you went for a proper dual chainring
  14. Ysterperd
    I run 2 chains alternating them every week to allow for cleaning. Have been doing this for last 13 months and must have logged over 3000 km this way. Plain simple Sram1050 bottom of the range chains, found them to be more durable and cost effective, albeit a couple of grams heavier

    T Axle provides for stiffer wheelset, but truth be told it is not the be all end all of wheelsets and is only worthwhile doing if you have no other choice but to upgrade to new wheelset i.e. New frame/ fork that requires TA
  16. Ysterperd
    Was in similar position, instead opted to have a wheelset built up locally, worked out cheaper for me.
  17. Ysterperd
    One some of the mavic hubsets you get adaptors, you might be lucky seeing that yours is a year old. Get your LBS to help you otherwise get hold of Dragon Sports, the local agents for Mavic
  18. Ysterperd
    If you cant recess the cup any deeper, have you tried sourcing a thinner/smaller top bearing?
  19. Ysterperd
    You hit the nail on the head. Cheaper to run XO1 although XX1 has bigger bling value, but hey anyone ridding whatever 1x10/11 automatically moves up in the pack no matter what they ride
  20. Ysterperd
    I would recomend an extra plain (cheap) rear rim fitted with a slick to replace your existing wheel when on the trainer. Using a trainer on knobblies will run your tyre down in no time. would not even borther fitting a rotor for the brakes, should not be more than R700 - 1000, worthwhile considering price of new tyre
  21. Ysterperd
    If I am not mistaken the wheels on the Anthem are mounted on DT Swiss hubs which has sealed bearings. If they do not feel rough and no lateral play they should be fine. i would only start worrying about them if you ride dusty/muddy conditions.
  22. Ysterperd
    first off - can only run a 8/9/10 spd chain with a 8/9/10 spd drive train, they are not cross compatable. they may not necessarily fit as is as the chainstay length on the various bikes may differ, may have to add or remove some links.
  23. Ysterperd
    Looks more like some or other light teak
  24. Ysterperd
    BCD of both chainring and crank needs to be same. SRAM (GPX) has a 120 BCD, not sure about the XTR.
  25. Ysterperd
    Weight wise the difference is minimal. Found that cheaper versions SRAM 1050 works just as well and last longer than 1090 etc
