True Story

http://connect.garmin.com/activity/115541227 39 degrees max temperature......and 1800m of climbing. A tough day out by anyones standard!

I'll put them in the post for you. PM me your address. Great project!

I have a 9 speed cassette and chain, as well as a couple of 9 speed front derailleurs if you need.

I also had awesome service from Garmin in Durban. My 705 got wet at Imana and was replaced with an 800 the next day.

With you on that one! weather permitting I'll be there for my second. It's a tough day...keep something in the tank for the last 30km!!!

I have some stuff https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/10500-single-speed-drivetrain-3618-30km-on-the-clock/

Im with Gordon on this.... dibs is for booking the top bunk...

Thanks

IThanks Nochain! Just rode it at the Imana wildride...great bike. So far only plusses over the 26'er for me. It weighs just under 12kg...I bought the hubs and skewers from CRC and spokes and assembly from my LBS. Speak to Ngala24. He was offering a set of ZTR/Hope wheels...maybe he can work a deal. It probably cost me about R2800 using the rims off the 329.

I have been an X9 convert for 3 years now. The shifting is precise, and they just seem to stay dialed in regardless of what you throw at them.....but I hear that the 2012 groupset is amazing. I have just put 2012 XT brakes on my bike....unbelievable!

I recently bought an AL329. Kept the frame fork and rims, and upgraded the rest. Sram x9, 2012 XT brakes, hope hubs, loaded seatpost, KCNC wide bar and stem, Fizik Gobi saddle. I'm very happy with my bike. Very good value for money.

Are you bringing in the mega sizes yet? Lots of us SA boys have wide farm feet! I had to import my mtb and road sidi's because i couldnt get the mega's locally, and got stung by the duties. It would be great if we could buy from the LBS.

Organise a no-frills students race yourself....you may find that you find new respect for race organisers.

Have a look at this tensioner...Looks like it bolts to your dropout, which may solve the problem? Am I right here? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=7169 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Images/Models/Full/7169.jpg
