doing a stage race over that weekend, (1st & 2nd september) wish i could join in the build, I have told a couple of people to try and get there, so hopefully they pitch, I have been quite scarce on this forum and at the builds, but will definately try and get more of the am and xc guys involved including myself

dammit! i missed a build.. i really need to check this thread regularly...

while i realise niels wheels may have stolen goods i haven't had a bad experience with him, of course i did buy a brand new gt sensor 2 through him from obike.co.za i always thought his sales guy was dodge and on a fairly recent trip to his store there was a gt carbon carbon marathon softail at the back which he pointed out to me and told me was going for 7k! i told him at that price the bike has a cracked frame or it's stolen, i declined the offer, while i can only speak on my own experience with him ( hasn't been that bad) i can fully understand how some see him as dodgy, i'm glad i come across this thread...

my friend is also super keen on 1

good to know

they do look good don't they...

thanks, great advice

cool thanks

nice...

yeah i know they have a web site... thanks for that

well a friend of mine is interested in getting 1, we both based in cape town and i know there is a whyte dealer only in jo-burg (which already means parts will have to be shipped down), just trying to get as much rider-perspective info as possible for him

anyone know anything about whyte bikes?

hi i have a friend who is keen to purchase a whyte bike and simply wants to take one for a test drive first, if there is anyone in the cape town area please send me a message

crazy that it cracked! was it still under warranty?

did you buy this bike 2nd hand or new?

is this a general gt problem or do all soft tails have these issues?

interesting...

well it doesn't have anything to do with the saddle, like i mentioned, when i'm seated and riding that = no noise when i stand up and peddle hard that = creaking

cool will check

mmm ok will try that, i dont like those oil sprays either, i'm usually anal with stripping and cleaning i spend all day with degreaser and grease... and a beer in hand

hey! 2009 rock shox revalation 426, the noise seems to be coming from the chainring/bb/pivots area...

unusual idea, will definately strip and grease up big time

um its a 2009 gt force sensor 2.0 not a marathon, you reckon it's a general gt issue?

most likely, although when i sit and peddle then there is no noise or very very little,its when i get up to peddle hard and the bike sways from side to side

got an irritating creaking noise that i want to get rid of, recently stripped regreased and rebuilt, feels like it's coming from the bb...but it's greased up, pivots are greased up too, happens mostly when i stand up to pedal - as the bike sways from side to side (from pedaling) any thoughts?
