  1. Today again... The Tacx skyliner makes a huge difference in the stability while on the trainer ! Did not have time to test the tyres yet
  2. The wheels have been chilling in my room for almost 6 weeks now just waiting for some rubber and new discs..Everything on the wheels are brand new. Got the tyres yesterday after lots of thought into which tyres to go for. The R299 @ CWC seeled the deal for me. The hubs are loud but not irritating...just Lekkkkeeeerrrrrrrrrr....zzzZZZZZZzzZZZZZzzzzzzZZZZZZZzz. Tyres fitted easily, just needed some elbow grease, good grip @ 1.2bar front and 1.5bar rear. The All Mountain frame guard is the BUSINESS! Took it really easy this morning, only did 13km/hr ave, Ill be able to do a proper test in the week!! Have an AWESOME Saturday guys and gals!
  3. I will do so yes. Just something I noticed, the rear is very tight when I rotate the axel in my hand. Its smooth yet tight. When I removed the bearings they are butter smooth and loose. The bearings fit is really tight, sortof needs to be "pressed" in. Is this normal? I bought the hubs 2nd hand.
  4. Not worried at all. Just using it as a point of reference for others who would like to purchase the product.
  5. Got this to help with the top end for the K2C, Rapide 36t NW (100g).. A bit on the heavy side, when comparing it to the superstar components 32t NW (41g), it is 2.5 times heavier than the superstar. the clearance with the chainstay is about 2mm so I might have to adjust the crank's spacing. Nothing beats Rapide for price at the moment. Thank you Rapide for the speedy delivery! will take it for a spin tomorrow
  6. There prices have also gone up..paid £66 for a set of switch evos in Feb this year with shipping. The rear hub alone is £60 i think, without shipping a set is going to set you back like £90...HULLE IS MAL!!!
  7. Speak to the peeps @ flyxii..see what they're going to quote you. $330 for shipping is CRAZY!!!!
  8. Crc deal is not bad @ all.. dont forget the 15.4% tax. Even with that added its still cheap...delivery from crc abt 5days
