Tallboy Carbon - "Bike of the year" - Nuff said. ????

Hi guys, I am looking for a lefty adapter for my Tallboy frame. I spoke to omnico but they will only receive stock in 2014. Is there any other suppliers you know of? Thanks again. Krynauw

You know why I love thehub? This is exactly the reason why! Thanks for the replies guys, so I am going with the L. This is serious cash so had to make 100% sure. Going to put my 2013 lefty on it, hope it works as well as i think it will! Thanks again!

I have attached my ergofit numbers. Thanks.

Hi guys, I need your expert help again. I am 1.82cm in length. I am considering getting a Tallboy 1 carbon 2013 (one just before the TB2) I am considering getting a L but i am uncertain if i need to go to the XL model. The sc bikes are generally smaller. My ergofit says i need a toptube length of 63cm. The L is shorter than that, but cant find the exact numbers on the sc website. Only the TB2's stats is on there. I dont want to ride with a huge long stem. Having said that, i am doubting the ergofit numbers because it also states that i need a seat height of 72cm from the BB but i am closer to 76cm. So confused! Any SC owners out there that can please assist me? These frames are obviously not cheap and dont want to make a wrong decision! Thanks guys. Krynauw

Great. Will do. Thanks!

Hi Hubbers I need some advice. I am think of importing a Thule platform bike rack from France. I looked on the SARS customs and excise duty schedule for the % applicable on the bike rack but cant seem to find a suitable category in which it will fall. Does anybody have experience in importing a bike rack? And what the customs will be? Thanks guys.

Great. Thanks guys. Seems I will be picking one up this weekend!

Hi Hubbers, I need your expert opinion on the Thule G2 platform rack. They retail at about 7k for the 3 bike and that is a lot of cash for a bike rack and that is why I first want some feedback from anyone that currently owns one. I have looked at cheaper platform racks but the ease of loading the rack to the car on the Thule is a selling point to me at this stage. Also, I see the manual refer to when using carbon frames on the rack, that I need to contact the manufacturer of the frame first to see if the frame can be used on the rack? I am assuming this is just to safeguard Thule. Cant think that the clamps can cause damage? Or am I wrong? What do you guys think about the Thule platform racks? I only want to buy once therefore I like the quality of the Thule products. Any feedback would be great! Thanks Krynauw

Tankman...you have PM. Looking for a Tallboy 2 frameset. Or anyone that can assist...will also consider tallboy 1. Thanks.

My Flash 2 Carbon 2013...climbs like a mountain goat! Love this thing...

Also in the market for bicycle insurance. So far i-cycle is a no go. Phone no on site doesnt work and no reply to emails. Cyclesure and Santam's response was very good however. Will keep you posted.

Yes please do! Thx

I agree with Hairy on this one. The price difference between a Thule and BnB is material for something that performs the same function. Also leaning towards the BnB at this stage! Hairy, once you got yours, please let me know what you think!

So has anybody used the BnB platform rack yet? I need some feedback to make a decision between the BnB platform rack and the Thelma 2. Really like the fact that with the Thelma nothing touches the frame, only the wheels. Less risk of damage I suppose? But the BnB rack looks very solid and for only R2000! Any feedback appreciated!
