Reden

Some of my parts collection. The MTB hubs are not that vintage but still dam cool. Magura... Mavic RD and brake calipers. Had these on my Tomasinni till I "upgraded" to newer Shimano 105 with index shifting. Pic of paint scheme I had on my bike. Would love to get that frame again. Then some frame building component I got many moons ago (25 to 30 or so years). Road and some MTB lugs. Had tube sets for both but these got lost when I moved house. With the Mavic RD the lower pivot shaft kept on breaking. I had a couple of stronger versions made that lasted longer. still have one or two unused ones left. Then some other bits and pieces. Suntour friction shifters. SRAM (i think) X-ray MTB grip shifts plus casette, ect. Man cave things. 😁 Also Still have my first MTB frame including the cranks. X-ray shifter was a upgrde to the bike. Giant Sedona SE. 17.5" I think. Would love to have this bike built again. 😍

I remember the shop in Black Heath (?) JHB.

CSA sanctioned some planned. 1 confirmed. Grootfontein. That includes Endoru and DHI. CSA series DHI this year for Gauteng would be run in KZN. DRI there should be three or four but to be confirmed.

Who are the importers of Oneal and Northwave in RSA? Looking at other brands of shoes away from 5Ten. Shoes should be wide. 2FO's are too narrow for me. But the any other brand of flat shoes that fits would do.

DITTO...

Not new but still hard to beat the performance for coils. I used thew DBcoilsCS.

29er Nomad.

This one. Also 50mm stem. https://za.csixx.com/collections/handlebars/products/end-lo-riser-bar

I'm looking for SRAM X0 Centenary 3x9 spd shifters and FD. Grip Shift would do (prefered) I have the RD and want to built a oldish MTB.

...

Possible yes...

Thanks Nige, A couple of us up here want to do a Enduro or two in KZN.

From EWS Whistler especially how it looks outside today. Lost in a forest on your MTB.

Agressor DD in the rear. DHF EXO in the front. This combination for most of what we ride up here. @BaGearA, I can lend you a DHRII DD 27.5 to test.

These from Pinkbike.

Who is riding it? I will be there as a spectator. Broke myself recently otherwise I would be riding. http://hakahanatrails.co.za/

mostly M-89 but sometimes and it depends on how my legs feel I'll go lower to get my HR lower. Then I also go to 100rpm. No best zone here as it all depends on how I feel at that moment.

That's them High Tower Team Bike. Three of them each with EWS colours and different undertone. The riders switch between the High Tower and Bronson. A fellow club member rides the Bronson. Stunning bike. I have not seen the High Tower in real life yet.

Ooo, yes, I agree fully. I would love to feel how the Nomad 4 rides compared to the 3.

I run the DD/EXO combination other way around. DD back with EXO front. It would seem I'm much harder on the rear tyres than the front. Not that I'm a expert rider though. Still learning.

Found the following on a UK forum. No mention of the DHR so it would seems to be pre DHR II or HR II. One photo earlier this year of Mr Minn and the V10 shows DHR II front and back. On EWS recently the "Pit Walk" video had some use DHF's both sides. I currently have (as listed earlier) DHR II rear and HR II front but want to try DHF front later as soon as I can ride again. DHR II rear gives plenty of traction but almost too much so the front wants to break sooner than the rear. Not a good situation though. "High Roller front, CrossMark rear - dry-ish Ardent front, CrossMark rear - dry-ish and a bit faster Minion DHF 2.5 front, Minion DHF 2.35 rear - wet/mud Minion DHF 2.5 front, Ardent or HR 2.25 rear - no so wet/mud Advantage 2.25 front, Advantage 2.1 rear - damp, loose Ardent 2.4 front, Minion DHF 2.35 rear - enduro-tastic No probs with any of these. Some people will say there's a lack of grip on Ardents and HRs as you lean over and it's true to a certain extent but the shoulder lugs always bite well before it goes pear-shaped. 60a compound is a decent all-rounder, 42a is the 'grip at all costs' option. 70a a bit skittish."

My orders were delivered in person!!! Now that is service. Well done.

I just love this quote. nsmb.com "If that preamble seems long, it's because it is difficult to overstate the impact of the last Nomad, which already had very large shoes to fill when it came along. For the last three years, even as other Santa Cruz models have chipped away at its sales and relevance to certain riders, the Nomad has remained a standard - maybe the standard - by which all other AM bikes are judged. Only the arrival of longer travel 29ers and the galvanized opinion that longer reaches are preferable have quelled the squawk about this Nomad killer or that one. But it wasn't wheel size or a short reach that did it. In the end, the only thing capable of killing the Nomad 3 turned out to be the Nomad 4."

N3 - 165mm rear travel. N4 - 170mm rear travel. N3 - 160mm to 180mm front. Sold with 160mm. N4 - 170mm - 180mm front. Sold with 170mm. If the N3 is anything to go by, the N4 would give quite a plushy ride that can be ridden uphill too.

And it is the CC frame. High modules carbon fibre is stupidly expensive. High modules carbon matt could easily be over 4 times the price of comparable lower modules.
