  2. Good option. I unfortunately couldn't do that with my Fox fork.
  3. I have a OneTen 29 with 100mm fork. Works for me for the moment. If you're not that aggressive it will probably be OK for you. On some of the very steep stuff (Top of Contermans Black route for example) you do have to get your weight right back, but everything still rideable. Also debated this issue on this thread, and the feedback was that the 100 would be OK. Not ideal, but OK. I was looking to save some cash on my build, so wanted to transfer existing fork, but if cash is not a problem I'd suggest a 120mm minimum.One advantage of 100mm fork is that they're normally quite a bit lighter than longer travel forks, especially longer than 120mm. Long and short, 100mm will work, but I suspect that the bike will really come alive with 120mm - 140mm.
  4. Not me fortunately.
  5. Had similar experience at Bloemandal. One of the Pyga techs was there on a ride. I finished as he was packing up. Out of the blue he comes over and says that they've replaced the hollow bolt with a solid bolt, and that I can have it changed for free at a Pyga dealership. Top service from guys who obviously live the brand.
  6. Now why post all of this awesomeness on a Monday?? Lucky we have a free day on Wednesday so I don't have to wait a whole week to get on the trails again. Awesome article and pics!!! Got to get up there again.
  7. Well done Deon and your team. I know how frustrating it can be working with environmental and other authorities. Keep it up! Wear those mofo's down with your perseverance ???? Hopefully we'll be back in Tokai (on some super awesome new trails) in the not too distant future.
  8. My Fox 32 at 100mm travel is ok for marathon, but head angle feels a bit steep sometimes. 110 would probably be better, but wouldn't recommend the Revelation for marathons, bit heavy. Reba, Sid or Fox 32 at 110 or 120 would be my recommendations.
  9. There was a video clip out a few years back where he does the road gap at Tokai. Anybody have a link to that clip? Saw it once, was blown away, and then never found it again. Think it was also a Pyga, prototype of the Pascoe I think. Absolutely insane jump, and they replayed it in slo-mo. I wet myself right there, and then again when I saw the road gap "in person". INSANE skillz!!!!
  10. I'm running a 50mm stem with 785mm bar and loving it. Much better handling than any of my other bikes, which all had more XC type 90mm to 100mm stems. Next upgrade will be the 140mm fork.
  11. Search for hubber Bibi. I think he had them.
  12. Agree. Jury still out on the RS1, while SID is proven tech. Only people who seem to be pushing the RS1 are RS marketing.
  13. OK. But throwing a SID fork on the Pyga is going to drop close to R10k off the price, probably a bit less. Take the Pyga down to say R87.5k, which is a good whack cheaper than the Spez's mentioned above, with very similar spec. I can't see the RS1 taking off here, so this is probably a good comparison. Looks like good value for money, but I suppose when you're dropping that amount of cash for a bike, value for money isn't that much of an issue.
  14. How much is an S Works WC going for now, coz that's where this bike is pitched surely? Isn't that the only Spez with the RS1 fork? Last time I checked bikes in that class were R150k. Cannondale Factory Racing, S Works WC, Santa Cruz Tall boy with top build. Based on that I reckon the Pyga is good value for money. Not that I'd buy one, but it just seems wrong to compare this bike to middle of the range Spez bikes.
  15. 26" can get below 8 if you're really trying. Lefty fork is first option, otherwise DT Swiss have some superlight forks. Schwalbe tyres are quite light.
