I Run a Novatec rear hub on my MTB and have had no problems with it.
also Evo Bikes are the Local agents if anything does go wrong.
Cape Cycle Systems are the local agents.
Keep your chest strap clean. Wipe after every ride. Also, clear the memory on your Garmin. When you see your HR spike, hold your shirt against your chest, specially in windy conditions. The strap picks up your shirt's vibrations and think it's your HR.
Your cable might not be seated properly inside the shifter. Try a new cable and casing, and set your gears. Cable and casing R100.
Tubeless tyres are easier to deal with than Tubeless Ready tyres. The only advise I can give you is to ride more or spin the wheels often if you can't ride.
BuzzRack, nothing else for that price.
Terrible news.....
Giant is great, Momsen Vipa also an option.
No, not going to work
All parts are available for these derailleurs.
You can also consider the Merida Big Nine 1000 and Momsen AL529
There is no such thing as a carbon stem, carbon wrap maybe yes. I would also not spend more than R600-R800 on a stem.
The problem should be taken up with the bike shop you bought it from. I am a bike shop owner and can tell you the chain was not fitted properly. This has nothing to do with Silverback, the bike shop are the one's assembling the bike. My client would come back to me and I would have fixed the bike for free.Thanks for all the reply's - the new consumer protection act does not agree - the bike is virtually new with about 100k's on it (was washed and lubricated after each ride) has not even had it's first service - it may not be Silverbacks fault but it was a component supplied by them that broke, they must take responsibility - they can claim back from the chain supplier.
A chain braking within 100ks cannot be blamed on "wear and tear" - the chain broke because it was faulty - no other reason. When a chain brakes while riding, you only know when it is too late to stop.
For the record, I have been riding (road and off road) for 30 plus years - have completed 19 Argus's, doing sub three hours 25 years ago - not bragging just saying that I know my way around a bike - when a component fails due a quality problem, I can tell.
Anyway, thanks again for the thoughts - I am still happy with the bike and I sure my daughter will have plenty of fun on the bike.
Surprized that you would bash a brand like this when you've been around bikes and bike shops for so long.
Ceres Cycles
No play at all. If you have sealed bearings, have them replaced. If you have cups and cones, have it tightened, actually have the hub serviced.
Article couple of weeks ago in the local papers, will be law soon, for on-road use.
best looking brakes by far
and very light
I have a Silverback Vida 1 Medium for R10800, brand new bike, 2013 stock clearance.
You have air in the system, happens sometimes when you open the system and shorten the brake lines (you have a spongy feeling on the leaver?) You can also sand your pads with 200+ grit sandpaper if the system is second hand, the blocks tend to clog up a bit. I advise a brake bleed. We've seen it quite a few times on the new XT's, and always the back brake.
