Gravel parts marked in red airport road is no more gravel, R340 only after the reserve.

Was in Hoedspruit too, thank goodness was a winter intake, but I too remember sleeping 'kal' on those cement floors at night.

2nd rail is used as a ramp to load or unload

I had the cross bares fitted to mine, cost me R2065.00 Ford Cape Town, and mounted a Thule outride, works great.

Same happened to my red Pro 4 roughly done 800KM on them, tread came off the casing.

Stay with X0, if you have extra money replace the RD with a Type 2 clutch

Run BB30 on my Niner, been using copper paste in the tube for the last 3 years, no squeaks, replace my bearings once a year.

Just installed my XO was not able to use the grips supplied as they used up too much bar space, current have a 630mm bar you need 680 and up if you want to use the grips supplied, using the ESI chunky that I’ve cut to fit, works well, also thought of cutting the XO grips, you lose the clamps that hold the grips in place, the grips have an inner barrel made of plastic with a rubber coating hence it doesn’t grip the bar without the end clamp.

Been riding 26 HT and FS for the last 5 years took my new 29 HT for its first ride yeaterday, loved it, takes getting used too the gearing though,2x10

Niner work in progress

Hope Race X2 front and back disc brakes set

At almost half the price to the Edge 500 the cs500 is reasonable, my only gripe with it is that it does not link to polar 5 training software, only to polar.com therefore need to be connected to the internet to download or view you training. Can’t customize the viewing screen, but you can set it to automatically scroll through the different screen modes while riding.
