This is amazing. I have seen much better versions of this C-26 frame in existence --- $12,000 is just ridiculous! http://www.bikemagic.com/news/article/mps/uan/7372
@narra -- here is a great interview with Chris Cocalis of Pivot Cycles explaining what goes into a Pivot frame ... worth the read: http://www.dirtragmag.com/blogarific/chris-cocalis-interview.
The new WOLVERINE 2.2 29er arrived on Friday. Around R545 a tyre incl VAT. Great for hardtail or FS use --- 2.2 is a bit more volume for more cush and traction. Around 820g a tyre.
Retail on the Pivot Mach 429 is around the R24k mark. How you spec it , is up to you. It is a DW_Link .... Price includes Frame / Rear RP23 Boost / Seat Collar / XTR PressFit BB. Colours available: Ano Black, Ano Silver, Ano Red, 2 tone Paint Blue/White. www.pivotcycles.com
Delamination is caused by poor quality control during the tyre manufacturing process. This has been proven ... the difference is that when a tyre delaminates with a tube, it is not as noticeable. When a tyre delaminates being run tubeless, it goes flat. There is less than 1% ammonia content in Stans Sealant and during the filtering process, it evaporates to the point that Stan does not have to even mention it on the packaging. MTN/Energade is sponsored by No Tubes .... they run MAXXIS exclusively.
Sounds good --- off to East London for a Trials Competition on Saturday - back Sunday midday. Otherwise next week Monday --- Valley Ride. Now about that fork .....
We'll have WTB Wolverine 2.2 and Nanoraptor 2.1 available from November. WTB were the first to produce a 29er MTB specific tyre when Uncle Gary was looking for a partner to work with on this crazy 29er idea. They have the largest range of 29er tyres in the industry. We will be focusing on the Wolverine and Nanoraptor treads for the SA market. www.wtb.com
I have Kore 3D Lite stems ---- silver , black, red etc.... pm me the size you need and I can check if I have something suitable. Also got a Blackwall Mint Condition Panaracer Smoke tyre.
I have M960 XTR Canti-brakes --- basically brand new -- not sure if would fit on that frame -- I remember Furtado and Grewal raced with V's and those frames? What year is your frame?
Check out www.rockgarden.co.za --- they do Gas Gas trials motorbikes but also import Mad Phase? bicycles --- some of the moto-trials guys are buying them -- not sure on pricing.
