These are the screws that were used to fit, we tried numerous other common screws. If the head size isn't 100% correct and sits flush with the spider, the head rubs on the BB. and if the head catches the "first lip" of the spider (as per picture) they are installed skew and this threaded the crank.

I've tried Google and have contacted a few local nut and bolt shops, some have a similar size but not the flat top 🫣 from past mistakes, if the screw protrudes it rubs on the BB cup. Very odd they haven't used a more common screw for the spider.

Reviving this in the hopes that someone has an answer, I purchased a 2nd hand Xcadey SRAM 3 Bolt spider and I was completely unaware that the spider had it's own specific bolts needed to fix the spider to the crank, quite a bit of money later, I have had to buy a new crank and cannot install the spider without getting the correct bolts. $1 for 6 screws is decent but $30 shipping makes it nearly R100 per screw. I am hoping someone knows where to buy them locally?? https://xcadey.com/product/xpower-meter-spider-screws/

Thanks so much Sid, that helps alot. Looks like the weather is going to play ball. Very excited to ride some new trails.

Sorry guys, first time riding in CT. Planning on riding the Tokai trails tomorrow. Firstly, is it open every day? Secondly can I purchase a pass at the entrance? Thanks in advance.

As far as I know Canyon Cafe has the rights https://canyoncafe.co.za/?srsltid=AfmBOorkv7_AuZ7leK343wfSQcaaxe0g-5YAbWBwELMmZdKnAdjd8SNN

Does anyone have a file for the Syncros stem cap/ cover? I have the printer but no file i've been looking everywhere.

I had the exact same thing, took me a while to realise the velcro strap that goes around the seat post was catching my bibs. I managed to find one of these Evoc bags from my lbs. Hold all my tools and the velcro strap is long enough to fit a spare tube in.

I bought my full sus (albeit aluminium) 2 years ago. Scott Spark the new shape with the rear shock inside the frame. I love the bike but if I could do it over again I would have saved a little more and bought the Titan of the same year. So much value for money in comparison. The Titan brand has been around for quite a long time now and from what I've seen and heard, they make great bikes. Good warranty and they look pretty good. It doesn't really help but I think you cant go wrong with any of the bikes on your list. If it came down to bang for your buck, component spec would make the decision easier.

I have the Holdfast 2 Bike tilting rack -https://holdfast.co.za/product/platform-sports-tilt I have had 1 issue with it after 3 years, they replaced the entire rack for me. I will need to upgrade this when the kids get older and would only look at Thule or Holdfast. As mentioned above, it will depend on your budget, vehicle and number of bicycles you need to transport.

Thanks Droo.. I found this and from what I can see. It isn't possible to upgrade the airspring. 2022-rockshox-spare-parts-catalog.pdf

Sorry to bring it up again - you mentioned in a previous post the 32mm stanchion Sid's could not be upgraded to 120mm travel. Is this just a manufacturing standard on these forks or because you cannot purchase the air spring? I have found a Fork - it is a SID Ultimate - looks like a 2020 model - 32mm stanchion. On the trailhead app when I put in the serial number there are no upgrade kits for the fork. Online it does appear that 120mm airsprings can be purchased? https://thebikehub.com/products/rockshox-sid-debonair-spring-shaft-120mm-29-32mm-stanchion-air-shaft-bumpers-h942554-02 - for example. I am happy to import if need be. I have reached out to Cogent in PTA but they are not answering.

I am all for the new innovations and we saw it being used in World cups last year - you would think with all that testing they would know the flaws on design, I am sure they have done there homework properly. Any hopes that this new tech will bring down pricing for 'older' eagle products? Or will they just throw it right in at R30k+ over the current AXS XX1 🙄 My frame would probably take the newly designed derailleur but my bank balance couldn't 😂 Really like the design on the cranks!!
