I'm also trying to figure it out, looks like it is a "normal" dropout on the non-drive side. You would then be able to remove the wheel with thru-axle in place once the thread is out of the other side.
not an engineer and dont fully understand all this rear suspension wizardry but I do have one question that puzzles me.
Whats with the hybrid thru axle dropout???
is that a sacrifice is stifness to ensure quicker wheel changes? Will 99% of buyers care about a few second faster wheel change in sacrifice for stiffness?
Maybe I am misunderstanding...someone explain it to me in a dumb down version please.
Is today the day that the new Scalpel is officially launched? The #newcuttingedge advert seems to suggest something at Cannondale is happening at 3pm.
I collected my Kickr Core on Saturday, it might have been in stock at CWC when the lockdown started.
Did anyone order Wahoo IDTs?
I'm wondering if CL are shipping them out yet. Mine broke so I'm waiting on a replacement and before I try get hold of them its easy to do a quick check in here...
I'm with you on the hardcore hardtail but that build is maybe a bit "too much" for for that type of bike. Personally I wouldn't go much higher that XT/GX for a bike like that, but that is just me. And a steel frame as well, something like Stanton or Cotic.
I'd rather have the Chameleon
but that's just me. I have a thing for hardcore hardtails. They are just more special and have more character (for me anyway). Dual suspension bikes just feel like they serve a purpose and that's that....
That Mobu is pretty sweet though....

Haha.
It does seem like more aggressive gravel bikes is essentially becoming "normal" hardtails, this is probably even more weird.

I do think that Diverge EVO would make an amazing commuter.
I read somewhere the hubs run on sealed bearings? Is this the end of cup-and-cone for Shimano?
Hi
This is a bit of a stretch for your budget but it looks like a really great deal.

They didn’t give specific details on the orders so I assume they just made a mistake when they tried to personalise their generic email.
I have Nico's letter if he wants it!
SunRingle is one of the well known brands out there but you might need to be a bit more specific with regards to your bike.
I did get a quick response by using "Contact us" on the website. I think most stores are swamped with emails for issues that is normally just resolved via phone calls or walk-in. It does seem like there is a bit more normality today and more stores/companies is opening up again.
R400 to courier my Kick Core once it is legal to do so...
What I will add is that they are not the only ones seemingly reluctant to respond to comms.
I've mailed at least 5 stores about different things and none have responded. (after a week in some cases), while many of their sites are appealing for support of local business.
Thanks, I'll have to keep waiting till logic starts prevailing again.
It's a pity that law-abiding businesses are suffering and those willing to "bend the rules" start operating.
Looking at the notice on their website this morning there are going to be a lot of unhappy people who were hoping their orders would start trickling through... Sorry everyone
Any other way to contact CWC? I sent out an email last Tuesday and I'm still waiting for a response.
That looks interesting, please post some more pictures or have someone post "spy-shots" on your behalf.

Hi
Could something like this work?
https://www.on-lynecomponents.com/collections/the-holy-rail/products/holy-rail-strap
Lyne suggests that you mount a holy rail and then your bottle.
Stupid question/solution, how often do you intend to remove the bottle cage? It's quite wastefull but cable ties could perhaps work...
Is it really going to be R100k for a frame? I’m considering a Hyrax, 140mm bike is a bit more for me.
If I win the lotto, this is on my list! But at R100k for a frame, I would have to sell a kidney. Looks great and love the concept though. Also, how can you beat this proudly South African initiative from Pyga.
Wow, really good prices on those forks! I'm tempted but I can't really justify upgrading my current Pike given all the uncertainty around.
That Magene is more expensive than the Kick Core in the DC Rainmaker review and it would have less support in a place like South Africa. Why would you buy it then?
Sort of off topic but somewhat related. Chinese products (eg. cars) are becoming better and more expensive. It used to be cheaper option but I think most consumers would still rather pay a 5-10% premium for a more well known brand than a newer Chinese or even Indian one. It will be interesting to see what long term effects of this virus has on manufacturing as it sounds like lots of countries/companies are trying to bring back manufacturing.
Hi
Where are you located?
Apparently Magnatech 5W30 can also work.
Drop Stoke a PM, Andrew can usually give some advice.
Almost that time again. Lockdown without a trainer/Zwift and constant snacks makes life quite difficult.
Really glad I bought a Kickr Core on sale during the lockdown but hope I can pick it up soon. I’ll have to see if I “enjoy” it but I suppose it will come in handy on those cold/wet winter days.
Is selling on the classifieds becoming more difficult?

Seems odd, do you have to specify it is bike parts? They ship parcels so I can’t see why they would worry about contents except if it is hazardous, illegal or dangerous goods.
