[New Cube 29ers]

Awesome

Recieved a call today to say my Cube Reaction GTC SL 29er has arrived. Will be picking it up tomorrow!

Not sure if I will get any sleep tonight

[Riding in heat and cooling]

A good tip is not to have water in the camel pack pipe as it warms qickly, therefore a short blow to push the water back into the pack after each drink helps keep it cooler for longer. No need to blow hard and create a baloon out of your pack !

[momsen components...any good?]

I am a big fan of Syntace.

Difficult to get hold off but well worth it.

[New Cube 29ers]

Not sure how they did it but I suppose thats German engineering.

I know there is a new Cube design of mounting the front derailer, giving extra space and clearance.

Clever b@stards

[New Cube 29ers]

That is a good question.

I have just double checked the geometry and foot wont hit wheel when turning.

I doubt the anal Germany engineers would allow that. I think that tends to happen when people try converting 26" frame into 29ers

 

In no rush to get rid on the DT Swiss wheelsets

[New Cube 29ers]

I got a quote for R25 000, which I think is an awesome price for the bike.

My last two bikes have been Cube and will definitely go the Cube route again.

Thinking of mybe going the full sus 29er.

Any thoughts in hardtail v full sus 29er?

[New Cube 29ers]

It is carbon with full XT except Formula RX brakes

[New Cube 29ers]

Super stoked. Just put my name on the waiting list for the new Cube Reactions 29 GTC SL.

 

What are your thoughts?

Geometry on the bike looks awesome. It has a standard 26" wheelbase, seat tube angle and fork angle!

 

[Sani2c rush entry is pathetic]

I tried at 11:59 when it actually opened and did not get a response back after pressing the register button.

Then kept in trying until 13:20 and now on waiting list, even after doing it for the last 4 years.

This is blows.

[Insurance Companies]

If they are competitive (dont have to be the cheapest) I will support them.

I agree in supporting companies that support cycling.

[Insurance Companies]

Hi All

 

I am looking at getting insurance for my bike.

I would like to insure it against theft and damage.

Must cover training and races, in SA and abroad.

 

Any recommended insurance companies I can call to get quotes?

Value of the bike R30K

It would be great if I could get an idea of what you are paying so I know if I am getting ripped or not?

 

Thanks

[Which bike do you prefer?]

26" dual sus for me.

I have seen enough people pushing their 29er up hill and trying to fix buckled wheels to cure me of 29er fever for life.

Thanks for the help

[Simano 10 speed quick-links]

Hi All

 

I am looking for some technical advice/experience

I have the new Shimano XT 10 speed drive train.

 

I know my old 9 speed quick-links wont work, so I have been looking for new Shimano 10 speed quick links.

According to LBS, Shimano only offer the pins and not quick links.

 

Can I use the SRAM 10 speed quick links, even though it says for use on SRAM chain only?

Has anyone used a SRAM quick link on a Shimano 10 speed chain?

What effects does it have on the Shimano chain that is "directional"?

 

Are there any other recommended options?

 

Thanks

[Pretoria danger areas]

Wow, go Cube

Great to see someone providing some goods news in such a negative story

[What are the best MTB wheels?]

I am a big fan of DT Swiss all round. Been riding DT Swiss wheelset for over 2 years without a days trouble.

Not sure of the price though, got them with the bike?

[CRC sent the wrong fork!]

Why not just buy local next time and get all the support you need!
