  3. Hi all Ok, so my patience is running a bit out trying to get my normal go to person to do this. Agreement was I'd actually do the labor, with him looking over my shoulder, telling me what do to. Plan was over 2 afternoons, one wheel one day, another the other... But it seems asking when will suite, can I come X... now not even getting responses... business seems to be to good these days. Who's good wheel builders, have 2 sets I need done, first set is split current hubs from carbon rims, build hubs onto a new set of alu rims, new spokes / nipples. 2nd set will be month or bit more away, new hubs onto the carbon rims from above, new spokes / nipples I'd like to do as much of this myself, my best option is weekday, 2 afternoons, bout 3pm onwards. Jhb. G
  4. yes, it will be covered/closed. G
  5. and thats how it looked as it came out of the tooling, no finishing was done. pay attention the carbon aligns... this is art. G
  6. only public picture is the one by Pat at the moment on his Instagram. As Pat posted it there, I"ll share... G This is a pic of the first frame that came out of the tooling. Some other bits have been moulded, but none of them is in public domain yet.
  7. we all to happy to be a very bad influence... G
  8. My little pony... Stage is a 95mm rear and 120mm up front... ie like the entire Pyga team now rides. I am 65Kg, but have never bottom'd out me rear, G

  12. The Mobu is the new Carbon bike, design and then also manufactures in SA (Mfg : Jhb) They have also localised the Slakline and Hyrax now to SA, where these were Carbon, they now manufactured in Howick as Aluminium, The hydro forming is still done in the east, all other work, welding etc is all done Kzn G
  13. The Mobu... Well it's to be the new top of the line model for them. 3 Yrs later, with all the new technology/experience included... SA manufactured. G
  14. yes, but then we have to kill you The first limited edition, on invitation batch (think it's 40 frames, 20 medium, 20 large, or the number might have climbed slightly) will only be in Clear Carbon, sure later models will add color etc. Go and look at Pat's Instagram, he posted a picture last Friday of the first development frame out of the mould, saw it about month/2 ago and dammmmmmm, it wa gorgeous, directly out of the mould, did not want to hand it back to Richard. G
  15. Get a TrainerRoad membership with it, you won't regret, value for money, return on time spend on it you can't beat. G
  16. I found that my trainer (Wahoo Kickr) + TrainerRoad was the absolutely best money ever spend on my cycling. 3 yrs later have not changed my mind. G
  17. not to point to the obvious, you do realise winter pretty much ended recently... and you gonna be looking at all of that hanging in your cupboard for odd 9 months... G

  19. ye... this Post office bit is what makes me nervous. Thanks for confirming the expectations... G
  20. Hi guys Who has experience with them, Looking at maybe ordering some rims and they are used as shippers. Who handles their SA side. I'm not being given delivery options, just EMS... so not sure speed, tracking etc. G
  21. Need some confirmation here please. Please look at the attached pics, I count the one wheel as a 3 cross build and the other as a 1 cross? G sorry, took photo, pulled the one apart and only then noticed not the best view. (3 cross pic, wheel on the bed)
