  1. Hello guys, I thought I should share my pleasant experience with Wayne. I contacted Wayne via whatsapp on 23 Decemeber and sent him some pics of what I thought was a crack in my XL frame. He confirmed that it was a crack and sent me a new frame under warranty, no questions asked. I recieved the new frame on 27 December. It does not happen often that a company stands by their product like Wayne and Rapide does. I urge anyone to do business with him. Thanks for the excellent service @Kiwi
  2. Have a look at cycle world bloem facebook page, they have a big group that ride almost every day, gravel, tar and mtb
  3. You get a steel version aswell, not as common as the alu version though
  4. Take a look at the Norco search, you can get it local. A friend has one and he likes it alot
  5. Take it to Cycle World, if it only requires maintanance work they are more than capable of handling it
  6. I had a chucker growing up and it was awsome. Was lighter than a fireball of the same era(had one of those aswell). Its a good starter bike I'd say
  7. Gotta love an old steel Kona
  8. No one said spez makes bad bikes, but to say they make the most desireable bikes on the market is nonsense.
  9. Does anybody have an old 26er rigid fork? The one that takes the starnut and stem cap, not the old threaded one. Looking to build a 26" bmx with an old frame I have laying around. Please pm me, struggling to find one locally
  10. Vittoria Martello 2.8
  11. Yes, mine is mullet at the moment, 29er 2.6 front and 2.8 650b at the back. Rides amazing! I had 650b front and rear but the mullet has transformed the bike
  12. Hardtails are great, I enjoy my Rapide more than any bike I have ever had. Hardtails are good for building skills and picking smoother lines on the trails. You wont regret it. The new Roscoe is a very decent bike with lekker geo. Go for it
  13. See if you can get them off and pm me some measurements. I bought some from my LBS and used a lathe to turn them down to the correct size.
  14. I have some end caps I machined to use for that exact conversion. The hub I got was a novatech and it was 142mmx12 and thru axle. The caps just slide in. If you dont come right then you can have them
  15. I love my Tigre, use it for everything from trails to long rides, doing a 55km 'race' tommorow. Set up as a mullet with nice thick tyres. Best bike I have ridden to date.
