  1. This seems too good to be true..I hope it is though, would really be great value for the consumer!!!
  2. Don't you think $990 is a bit steep? Just under 12k and that's before tax At $575 I'd go for it!! I remember why I brought in my own frame. It was the bang for buck which I was getting Just my 2c. Im also on the look out for a new 38mm wheel set. Will be following closely
  3. This is flippen awesome to say the least. I take my hat off to lights by linea for doing this
  4. Hey guys Where can a beginner go to try out fly fishing? Most likely on a damn/lake type setup. Ive got rock and surf tackle but I've always been intrigued by fly fishing. I've seen some guided tours go for R2500 plus but that WAAAAYY too expensive. Any suggestions? Im in Kuilsriver area
  5. @ aVenge....sex on wheels boet...drool
  6. Hey guys Ive had Conti Protection XKing front and RaceKing rear and Ive converted Geax Mezcals front and rear. The rear feels good with no issues..the front however feels loose and gripless once things start getting hairy and I actually lost the front wheel and bought some property the other day on a section I do regularly I'm running them tubeless with about 1.3-1.4 bar front with 1.5 bar rear. Is the mezcal good as a front tyre? I defnetly need more grip. I was looking at an ardent for the front or even a geax sagauro...Help! The Vitoria Barzo looks interesting
  7. I hate you... donner maar sys mooi! Specs please and weight!
  8. Hey manne, the bikes are looking good. My FR216 is still going strong, now for wheels for my roadbike though. Has the strike ended yet? I would like to spoil myself with a set of 38mm clinchers. Something with a U profile. Whom would you guys recommend?
  9. The FR216 is a brilliant frame. Stiff, light and she goes like a bat outa hell!!! My 19" weighs 1336g, the UD gloss finish is sexy too Really good value for money and its got place for 2 bottle cages Go for it!!!
  10. Thanks my bru. The tyres actually weigh 601g so I doubt I'll get much lighter than that. With ESI grips I'll save about 300g but then my hands go all numb Really don't know where to save weight
  11. So here she is.. Flyxii FR 216 19" hardtail. I took about 4 months to collect all the parts needed for the build. Had her done before K2C already but now she is complete! Ive put on the new wheels and tyres since then. Photos are not the best quality Specs: Flyxii FR216 RockShox Reba with rem XT brakes XT shifter(1*10) XT clutch derailleur SLX crank with 32t SuperStar components NW or 36t Rapide NW OneUP components 42t/16t conversion ZTR crest rims on Hope EVO hubs Specialized Phenom saddle Thompson Elite seat post FSA afterburner handlebar Ergon grips with bar ends Geax Mezcal tyres Shimano 540 pedals Weight: 10.5kgs with pedals and cages Any tips on getting her below 10kgs?
  12. What does she weigh?Is she as light as the giant? BEAUT!!
  13. @Heenan, is that from flyxii? the FR216? Ive got one, you will not be sorry!!! She looks good boet :thumbup:
  14. How was the stock levels? That's dirty cheap
  15. Alleyne, how much did those shades set you back?
  16. 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
  17. 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!
