New goodness, thanks to CWC for the great sale. Brakes and chain already on, wow the SLX brakes are a huge upgrade to the Deore ones they replaced.
Bull..

When you take delivery of your brand new Pyga 110, your Friday just can't get better!
Gets better on your first ride out I would believe

Welcome to the OCD club !
One of my better purchases!!
Jys maar met min tevrede
First pic as she was built in last year.
Just before the Prologue of the Cape Pioneer.
Pics taken with something other than a potato please..?
Lots of tire threads already but here's my input.
Reliability and longevity but heavyish: crossmark rear, ikon front
Expensive, lightish and reliable but not as long lasting: racing Ralph snakeskin front and rear
My favourite combo: racing Ralph snakeskin front and non snakeskin rear both 2.25
Light, cheap, reliable enough but not as long lasting.
All those combos have enough grip for xc style riding.
Totally
Just a few bits and bobs and ill be able to post mine as well.... excitement galore
Jaaa

...and why does everyone say, "I upgraded to a 29er"?
It's not an upgrade, it just has different size wheels.It's the bike design and componentry that matters.
It's like saying I "upgraded" from an Audi A4 with 16" wheels to a Corolla with 18" wheels.
Wanna upgrade to my corolla and I take your A4?
Good for comfort and usually grip, not good for weight and acceleration.
Great idea for fully rigid bikes.
There is also no need to use the wider rims, I am running a 3.0 tyre on a standard 29'er rim.
Also if you running 1x10 you will struggle more on a bigger tire. Maybe not much but it will be noticeable.
American classic on ztr crest. No issues thus far.
Called a crown race. Yes. Seperate.
What do you have now?
Would upgrade my shifters to something like XTR or XX/X0 (depending on which you prefer). Get the clutch type RD. Brakes to shimano (keep them if you already have shimano). Get some ice-tech rotors.
Would much rather spend money on nice wheels and a carbon handlebar than upgrading a complete groupset.
SLX groupo with the clutch system is everything and more 95% of riders need.
In the same spot.
WTB i19 - rims are a bit narrow for 'n paar vet tekke
AM classic - same price as crest/arch on hope combo
Crest/arch - too commercial and those hubs just scream "I like to be heard"
Velocity - didn't know about them Eldron. Any reviews?
Novatec - good value but how are those hubs?
Easton EA70XC - pretty bling but not sure about reliability...?
Input please guys!
Did they not make money out of the sale of said bike....if yes they are the first line and if its a good lbs, the buck should stop with them...since the lbs will say its the agent's responsibility, the agent will blame the brand....
With vetseun here....
Way too many LBS or any shop for that matter who love stocking and selling but when problems arise they just pull up their shoulders and refer you to the distributors.
What's the use of the middle man then? They like taking their 20-30% profit, then they should man up and step to the plate. Least they can do is supply the customer with a demo bike.
Boast about your latest purchases here...
