  1. https://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/mavic-ksyrium-pro-carbon-sl-disc-wheelset
  2. I buy from Evobikes all the time. Great service and fair prices. Janos is always happy to listen to me yack on the phone for 15 minutes to get his input on parts, etc. Never complains and always friendly. Big thumbs up from me.
  3. So will this fit in below GX? Seems to be getting quite complicated - XX1, XO1, 1X, GX, NX? Is that right?
  4. I changed my Ghost Lector from a 3x10 to a 2x10. Best conversion ever. I spend less time changing gears and feel much more comfortable with the ratios. I also run a full XT set up. I changed the cranks (didn't know you could do it by just adapting the chain rings). XT shifters have a small screw under the shifter which makes it easy to convert to 2x10. I did have to change the front derailleur as well though - which was a pain in the ass! Go for it - just do it!
  5. gonna be muddy. been raining in harties all day. stick to the mountains.
  6. Thanks Anton, will do.
  7. Thanks guys, called Evolution and they gave me the number of a guy - Dave. Called him and waiting for a reply. Appreciate the help.
  8. Thanks Markdeep, if all else fails I will do just that. Have also submitted a "please call me" on the Evolution website. No telephone number on the site unfortunately.
  9. Does anyone know if Emotion Cycles still exists? They are the guys who used to bring in Volcan bikes and, from what I have been able to find on the internet, form part of Evolution Cycles (Raleigh). Funny thing is their website is down and the phone number is no longer in service. All of this just as the rear triangle (carbon) snapped on my Volcan FS2. If anyone has a new number of contact details I would seriously appreciate it! Alternatively, if they have died and gone to LBS heaven, does anyone know of a good carbon repair man (or woman) in the Pretoria area.
  10. Deeeeeeee batch - should be fun
  11. Had Avid Elixir's - liked them. Have XT - luv them. No contest!
  12. I used to ride with a Gobi. Loved it like many others in this thread. Decided to try a Tundra 2 cause I was a little uncomfortable on the Gobi when doing steep climbs. Took a bit of getting used to, but now I won't change the Tundra for anything. Rode my old bike this weekend, with the Gobi on. It felt terrible. Guess it comes down to personal choice and a lot of trial and error. I have also tried Selle Royal and WTB but nothing to write home about.

  14. D batch - I'll take that. Really looking forward to the River section. Will they be including the Dragon's Back section of the River route in the race? Rode it this weekend and it is HAIRY!!
  15. My team ID is Waitlist - 35. Sure hope there are 35 teams out there who decide they no longer like MTB and become roadies, or something like that. When is a good time to start asking about people wanting to sell / swop out entries? I would guys closer to the race....
