Hi huys Please check my ad, if interested to buy a Tissot T Touch Expert. https://www.bikehub.co.za/index.php?app=hubmarket&module=core&do=view_item&item_id=78401&new=1 Happy Hubbin

Thats it, thats all

Please see this thread. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/133032-29er-specific-saddle-really/ This matter has been pedalled through and sorted long ago. "marketing" mistake. Just super adustable saddle!!!

Voted Hope I ride ONLY Formula's, but not as a voting option. If you LIKE bleeding brakes, get yourself Avid's of some sort, you will bleed them every weekend. Happy Hubbin

Hairy, where are those trails he pictures were taken? Looks REALLY nice area to ride

Cearus You hit this nail right on the head. For way to long, it is people taking each other to the cleaners about; Grammar, Spelling, Bike size Wheel size, Baggys vs Lycra Flat pedals vs cleats Etc etc etc etc Originally, I joined and started following the hub for the wealth of informatiion, experience, tips and advice from seasoned mechanics and riders. For way to long, those principles have not been present, and mud slinging and slanting is / was the order of the day. The problem I see, is that if cyclists cannot stand together as a community, how can we as South Africans stand together as a nation. Admin, thx for trying to keep the reigns to some extent. Happy hubbing

I see Mikes bikes in Greenside also offers some sort of finance deals

All depends on where and how you spend 90% of your riding.

It all depends if you will be sprinting out the corner for a podium place at the end of the race??? Buy what suits 90% of your riding style and circumstances. Dont buy for that "0.5%" of "cornering" / STEEP gradient climbing that you do. Buy what suits 90% of your riding. Happy hunting

Don't ride like that. You HAVE TO HAVE the thru axle

In my experience, the following tyre rim combinations work well: Mavic (29" called ust); GEAX, Maxis and Michelin ZTR rims; Schwalbe, Bontrager Other combos that DON'T wotk: ZTR & Geax ZTR & Michelin ZTR & Onza

Getting them off you will need a pair of these...

Where can I get one of those!!!!!????? I have the CO2 bottle, just pipe stuff looks very custom I WANT one!!!!!

Please see this thread https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/134717-29er-or-275/ A lot to do with sizing and bike choice. Happy hunting

Nice bike Wishing you many happy "shi ft" free miles...

Check these Hub ads https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/74519-niner-jet-rdo-large-frame/ https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/74710-niner-jet9-carbon/ Much better value for 60k than the OP options

+1 on all the above

Search some of the forums on 29 / 27.5 and 26", a LT on info. Best advice, ride the all ON THE TYPE OF TERRAIN YOU WOULD MOSTLY RIDE. Then buy what your heart wants. Because the heart wants what the heart wants... If you are aiming for marathons, maybe a 29". (Marathons usually not soooooo thecnical). Be carefull of the media and sales reps, they promote what and where their interest lies. Make up your own mind and get what your heart wants. Happy hoopin

Sounds like a bunch of rough-necks

No question here!!!!!! If the 8k is not the determining factor, Santa Cruz all the way. The SC is a boutique type bike and in anther class altogether. So like I said, no question here, Santa Cruz!!!! Top end bike build like planned with the XX and ZTR crest's. Finish it off with a classy cockpit like Thomson or Ritchey back to front. Enjoy your Santa Cruz

You also need to install the garmin communicator plugin, from the Garmin website.

As As far as I have it, Q factor is personal setup and preference, and not frame specific. Well at least that is my understanding of it

R $ exchange is HURTING us there. A year or two ago, CRC was at least a 1/3rd cheapest than any price in SA. Yes, but currently is is more expensive to shop there

Well, one of the most bias Ninerds around. Eldron beats me by a hairs breadth and a couple of bikes in the stable...
