Well Moridin, I'm clearly learning out the hard way. I don't exactly read these forums often and didn't know the situation in Stellies, the police enlightened me how bad it actually is during these events...

Hi all, please can you keep a lookup for a black and green Specialized Camber Comp 29er trail bike. Stolen off my secured bike rack in the parking area at the Origin of Trails event today. Crazy, they even have security patrols, these thieves are taking chances! I also saw lots of bikes on bike racks, make sure you lock them in your car or maybe remove the front wheel. My bike is the black and green one: https://www.specialized.com/us/en/camber-comp-29/p/106503

Wheels are performing very well, definitely recommended for the price range. Still have my sights on the Mavic Ksyrium Elites but can't justify spending that much money...

Bought the American Classic Victory 30 Tubeless in the end from EvoBikes.co.za, really great service from these guys!! Will let you all know how they roll

The Victory 30 is light compared to my current wheelset, surely this should make a difference?

Hi Hubers I'm looking to upgrade my road bike wheelset which are currently 2013 Fulcrum Racing Comp. Can anyone give me advise on the following, budget isn't too high (Sub 5k) American Classic Victory 30 Tubless - R3,899 - look like a good wheelset, light (1592grams), cant find any reviews. MAVIC Ksyrium Equipe S Black - R4,995 - reviews look good but weighs in at 1690grams. American Classic SPRINT 350 R4,995 - again reviews look good and weighs 1410grams.

Settled on the Merida Scultura Comp 905

I saw this list as well, very interesting - Thanks Hellocolour

I have a 2012 Axis AR20C carbon frame, Shimano 105 5500 (old) and Easton EA50SL's

Thanks all for the advise! It really is a tough battle choosing the right bike. Even after reading all the feedback I cant decide on the Scott Foil 40, Merida Scultura 905 comp, F5 Felt and even looking at the Silverback Space 1 (full Ultegra). If only one could keep the bike for a 1 to 2 hour ride to get the feel for the bike - lol, no chances

I need to throw a spanner in the works, I have been offered a 2013 Felt F5 for R19k... Too many options at this price range aaarg!

Cassie, are you saying you wouldn't think twice about getting the Merida? Are

At this point in time it boils down to R18k (for the Merida) or R19k for the Scott. Would really like to have the Ultegra but I suppose I could live without At the end of the day it really is about the rider but I want something that will last. There has been lots of feedback -THANK YOU EVERYONE!! Looking forward to more views

Hi Dee, I have Easton EA50SL's in good condition so I will put these on whichever bike I end up buying.

Good job, down to R19k on the Scott
