  1. Or you could go to positivesportssolutions.co.za for 1/4 the price.
  2. My throwback Xizang. Painted reba to mimic 90’s sid. Lynsey ti bar Full ti bolt kit by proti bolts Full 985 XTR
  3. I run a bike shop and I ONLY use RBC for my full shock services. Especially when it’s a brain ( forks too) Fantastic service. Fantastic workmanship. Fantastic communication. Mike
  4. You can re use the banjo no problem. Just replace the o-rings. The correct banjo for the m9000 brakes is part number Y8JA09000 But for reference. The left hand bolt is for the m9000 calipers as they are magnesium. The right bolt is for the xt/SLx calipers What are you paying for your line?
  5. I have the Pro/Shimano ones in stock for R 110 ea or 3 for R299. Can ship anywhere.
  6. doesnt mean cos it’s local it’s more expensive.
  7. Yes. All the big brands are geolocking their supply chain to protect the local distributors in the various countries.
  8. Maybe you should find a new LBS. I’ve always had fantastic support from Coolheat. And always willing to help me. Often LBS blame the suppliers because A) they want to sell you something newer, more expensive and less hassle to get. Or B) are just lazy to do the foot work needed. LBS’s who are service focused and not $$$$ focused are the ones to go to.
  9. Contraband Ti frame. Prototype frame. Only one ever made. Was a 650b design. But 29x2.0 tyre juuuuuust fit. Nothing fancy on the bike but weighs on at 8.1kg.
  10. Was after the replication of the 90’s team p-21/24 bike’s. Sorta this effect with some poetic license.
  11. Howsit. I did a weight comparison when I installed the setup. The full Rohloff system is only 900gr heavier than full 1x xtr 985 system (including a rear hub). So probably not far off SLx for weight. But it’s ALL on the rear wheel. Think it was 1.8kg for the hub alone. So yes it’s heavy. But on flowing trails it’s not too noticeable. It is when you jump or flick the rear. Very noticeable.
  12. Some other project bikes of mine. Ritchey P-29 as a throwback to the 90’s as well. P-29 ritcheylogic frame. In same colour as the 90’s ritchey race team P-21/23 bike’s. Maxxis ardent skinwall tyres. Rohloff internal 500/14 geared hub. Ritchey classic cockpit. Selle italia flite titanium saddle covered in alcantra. Middleburn retro crankset Roxkshox Reba RL respray to replicate the 90’s Judy SL forks.
  13. Yes my bike. Some history to it all. Raced a gt zaskar (cos the xizang was unobtainable) in the 90’s) and always drooled over Julie futardo and the othe GT team. Managed to find this frame in California after 3 years of searching the web for it. Stripped and sprayed the fork (Reba RL QR) did blue with yellow (instead of the age correct white) decals to match the decals on the bike. Polished fork crown. Thompson seat post and stem. Lynskey ti handlebar. Full m985 XTR groupset. 1x10 conversion. With hope extender cog. Citec wheels. Maxxis ardent skinwall tyres. Ragley saddle (with green/yellow accent to match bike) Full PROTI Ti bolt set. King Ti bottle cages
  14. old school throwback. Modern/retro version of the 90’s team Xizang bike’s.
  15. my single speed proto type Ti contraband Ritchey P-29 built to replicate the P-21/23 of the 90’s. But may look SS. But running Rohloff IGH hub.
  16. Hi All, Does anyone know how to remove the front caps off the hubs so I can remove the bearings? Part number 5-6 in the attached picture Thanks ewb-521d05f53d847-ewb-4fa8a8cb9a976-signature_front-hub.pdf
  17. If you go look on Csa website under Mtb. You will find the std xco time schedule Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Hi All, Thanks for the comments, on my training bike I ride an 11-40 cassette with a 36 up front. XCO I race with a 30, 11-45, but then its over 1200m in 28-30km in a race. Im hoping to be strong for the race, well strong is a relative term I suppose. Will have to decide closer to the time. are you guys doing it this year again? Mike
