  1. There will be, yes. Pretty much full range to look and drool at if I have my facts straight.
  2. Now that the price of the highest spec, uber model has been discussed to death we can get around to talking tech. Worth mentioning: Old stem is out, std 1.5" nowInternal routing with option for dropper and di2 with battery stashed in Top Tube (quite clever I'd say)Straight seat tube allowing for shorter chainstaysSlacker head angleRear brake mount moved to chainstayOff set front hub on lefty creating better trail & rake Better cable routing around lefty so no "lefty rub"XS, S will be 650b, M and up will all be 29erAmple tyre clearance even with 2.25 tiresRemovable front der mountRouting "grommits" mean any combo of routing can be run and still be neat and tidyThat's quite a bit crammed into a new bike and based on first looks it looks very well executed. What do you guys reckon?
  3. Bottelary Hills Trails
  4. Except for 70.5° vs 69.5° Head Angle 448mm vs 435m chainstays 774mm vs 754mm standover 27.2mm vs 31.6mm seatpost diameter Completely different suspension design Tapered vs 1.5" heat tube Removable FD mount on the 'Dale Provision for SWAT on the Spez Offset rear on 'Dale The use of Fact11 vs BallisTec Hi-MOD Carbon In fact, a closer look will reveal they pretty share a PF30BB and the fact that both are bicycles.

  6. They should just be done with it and build these

  8. By extension you kinda do.
  9. "Gold in every Olympics since 2000..."
  10. Using the KTM as an example it is actually quite easy. 1. It doesn't leak oil 2. It won't cost you a FORTUNE in maintenance 3. You won't have to wait for parts that you then pay through your ears for 4. It doesn't ship with latent defects 5. Buyers in CT won't have to ship their bikes to Bloem or Jhb to have it serviced. 6. It doesn't come with a "KTM aka ATM" heritage See, easy.
  11. Yip, that's why RBR is saying F1 will need to make a call in the 6-8 weeks so it can be incorporated into the 2017 design. Driver cooling will come into play as well. Riciardo reported a lot less buffeting and wind noise.
  12. Great to see sensible, real life tech on bikes. Clever stuff and good to see Cannondale going all in and not just launching a slightly different Scalpel.

    Have the "Yamaha favours Rossi now" rumoures popped up yet?
  16. Not enough stolen bikes are reported in the Stolen Bikes section. We need every single Hubber to list their bikes and get their mates to list their bikes as well. Then we need every single rider who's bike has been stolen to report it in the stolen bikes section. That's at least one (very effective) way to help curb the problem. Lets close some loops for these people.
  17. In other news, we will be riding one of those soon...
  18. Like a 27.5" bike with 150mm of the best travel around that is on rails Welvanpas Black, Jonkers Red, Contermans from the top, Zevenwacht's Bottelary Hill Trails. Apart from pure DH tracks there is nothing in the WC the The Following won't handle with confidence. Yes! What else are you considering to buy?
  19. Could have saved me a whole lot of typing!

  21. Here's one build with Stage racing in mind. 11.5kg as is with proper tires and wheels.
