  1. I just googled a little bit on the YT sites New Capra stock (29er AL Comp) USA 13 Feb-10 April (depending on size and colors) Canada 17 April Australia 1 May New Jeffsy 29er ( 29 CF Comp) USA 8 May Canada 5 May Australia 29 May- 28 Aug (depending on sizes and colors) That say that there is a tremendous back log from head office and that there is a VERY SMALL chance that SA will receive stock in this year, and when they receive stock it will be like maybe 5 bikes total.
  2. I thought it wouldn't do any damage to ask about when new stock will arrive in SA and I received this email from them.
  3. So it is just not me? I am really in the market for a new Capra, but don't know when stock will arrive, I was actually wondering if I should email the head office, maybe they can help to when the new bikes will arrive...
  4. I just replaced my open bath Fox damper with the new FIT4 damper, and I can honestly say that is money well spend. An upgraded damper makes a big difference. If I was you I would go for it, you learn so much about your suspension after so big upgrade that you end up asking yourself how you ever lived without it.
  5. All I want to know is that they will change for the 2018 Capra, I like the new scott 29/27.5 design...
  6. This picture was taken last Desember in Klein Brak I took it with an IPhone 5S Photo credit to my Sister
  7. Ah thanks very much, that means it is very much legal in SA, you should just make something with lights and plates
  8. Just a random question, what are the SA Road rules about something standing out so far behind a car that don't have lights or plates. My old man told me that the old rules were that it may not stick out more than 0.5m unless it's an emergency and have a red vlaggie. I also eyed one of those racks, but you can only use them on a bakkie, because my Merc towbar can't hold the weight and it will push the rear of my car down like a sootskraper on the road. Just curious about the rules, but that aside I personally think it is better and easier than A Thule rack.
  9. Motorex/Manitou Prep M?

  11. My friend had a similar story. Oh and on the emails, it's been 6 months and still waiting for a reply... I am not a big fan of them.
  12. I see only one problem there, and it is Cajees Why didn't he do for a second opinion at an other Giant bike shop? I've been riding Giant for 7 years with no issues, that is just plain ridiculous to call Giant a dodgy business! Welcome to the HUB, your first Rant wasn't so good, I am sorry. I will say with Gaint no matter what!
  13. My SS 29er is almost done, only need handlebar, stem, saddle and the rest I will steal from other bikes in the garage.
  14. I also have one of these, they are heavy but very stable at 120km/h and it can take 2 Downhill bikes. I like the platform for my XC carbon bike, I don't like the thule action on the upper tube of my bike, but if I had the money I would probably go for thule. But all this aside I can only give a positive review on my cheap BNB.
  15. I really want one!!
