It wil work, just a heads up if you replace the brakes, if the hoses was cut or too short it will require a bleed. gears will work.

Here is some suggestions. depends where you live, Give your height to estimate a bike size for you Just some suggestions, look for a bike with hydraulic brakes and a air fork. Any Shimano deore gears makes life a lot easier. You can convert the tyres to tubeless yourself as I did with YouTube. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/784912/pre-owned-silverback-stride-10-m-bm10223-2013 https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/790873/gt-avalanche-10-mtb-size-m https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/791159/silverback-alphine-1-xt-discs-rockshox-air

I use Fug It. Works okay and seals. Just need to top up regularly.

You can consider this computer as well. I think it is a bit better than the Magene and almost same price. https://westdenecycles.co.za/product/wahoo-elemnt-roam-v1/ WAHOO – ELEMNT ROAM V1

This one, the last bike you wanna buy https://bike-addict.co.za/products/titan-cypher-120-carbon-expert-se-2024

This looks like a good bike, I would ride this...

If I am in your shoes look at the following, for my purchase it made or break a deal!!! Air Fork Shimano Deore groupset (just reliable better shifting) 10 Speed or greater, other wise you will upgrade in the near future from 9spd Similar to this https://cwcycles.co.za/product/1013359-bike-mtb-ht-alu-slvback-stride-elite-my23

Any of these bikes will ride lekker and will not be too heavy. Depends on your preference, I ride a Giant and loves my bike. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/road-bikes/774825/giant-tcr-large-campaqnolo-components https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/road-bikes/722829/felt-carbon-58cm-xl-campy

Bike fit is very finicky...suffered from numb hands. Resolved it by adjusting saddle 3mm forward. So little do a lot.

I also had issues on the MTB, try this saddle, It worked for me and not that expensive. https://www.rapide.co.za/product/rapide-tf-147-saddle/

Bought Wahoo Elemnt last year on Black Friday special. Love it. Wahoo R4000 https://westdenecycles.co.za/product/wahoo-elemnt-roam-v1/ Magene: R3500 These looks okay but dont know their capabilities. http://evobikes.co.za/product/magene-c606-smart-navigation-gps-bike-computer/

Big Respect to all that finished. I think the wind is making it the worst and messes with your head.. I heard that it was like a 800km headwind and then some side winds... Kudos

For what its worth. had issues with changing gears on only 2 sprockets...chain would slip. almost as if i had a new chain on a old cassette. lo and behold the hanger was bend out of this world. when fixed was like new...

This looks like a nice bargain. 12speed shimano and air fork for R15k. Nearest price I could find is R18k https://cyclezone.co.za/products/merida-big-nine-slx-edition

These looks about the same... component wise

If you put the wheel in the frame and the alignment is correct but after riding awhile it goes out the dropouts could be worn out. I think there is a way to machine the drop out correctly.

I have the Fluir light and it is very bright and lasts. Cannot fault it. Previously I had a similar light to the Ryder concept , not as bright and battery don't lasts as long as the fluir. Plus point is battery can be switched easily. If I must buy again 1st choice would be the extreme trail, then Fluir then Ryder Concept. Rhe extreme trail just looks lekker. Hope it helps

Matt's sprint won him $4000 bonus....not bad at all. (R70000) 😱 And what a Party they had at the end... Nice series

i know this is a little over your budget but is a great bike to consider https://bike-addict.co.za/products/titan-cypher-rs-dash-alloy-2023

I am using the V1. If you load a ride (gps file) it will show all the climbs on the route, how long, elevation to go etc etc. Mapping works very well. I never had problems with routes etc, re-routing if you go wrong way or take other roads in town. I am very happy with mine.

Bike is just sitting in bike room. 27.5" Size Small Wheels is running very smooth Tyres is basically brand new Tubeless and new sealant has been added. 3x9 Speed Altus shifter and Deore derailleur https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/747065/scott-contessa-275-s
