My New Crank Brother Colbat 11 Handlebar and Ritchey WCS Stem

Question - I ordered Brakes from CRC on Friday and Saturday I received an sms saying my parcel is waiting custom clearance, but I phoned them today and ask when I will receive it and they said it was only picked up today in Belfast and I should have it by Wednesday. Apparently they do this so that there is no hold up when the package enters the country. IS THIS TRUE? PS ordered a parts with normal post 2 weeks ago and it took only 10 working days to get to me.

I have SLX Breaks on my 29er and 160mm Alligator rotors front and rear with resin break pads. They work great I would not buy any other breaks as these are superb and does a relay good job.

Any one ordering from CRC I would like to order a saddle.

Agreed

No, its for MTB, that's why I was wondering if it will work, its a bout the same as the Tandra 2 so size is ok.

What do you guys think about this? I like the red as it will go with my bike and its light. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/selle-san-marco-concor-wilier-edition-saddle/rp-prod124831

I have an Anthem(my bike has been build up) if you are going full suspension you wont get better then an Anthem that maestro suspension is just flawless, the frame is also extremely light even when compared to Carbon frames. I had a Silverback before, but I will newer trade an Anthem for any other Full suspension. Go for an 2014 Anthem you wont regret it,

Friends of mine also suggested that I should try Specialized, Ill go to the local dealer tomorrow. Thanks guys! What do you guys think about the Fisik Gobi? I am able to buy one brand new from a friend who got it with the bike.

What is the best saddle I can get that is in a good ratio of weight to price? I am currently using an old silverback saddle, but would like something that is lighter than it and that won't break the bank at R1500.

Helpful info Thanks!

I Would love to go and work abroad again . Would take this job any day, Just to go and cycle on those roads

Wolfie1 Would you upgrade to a 32t or will you just keep the 30t? Do you spin out a lot or is it at a minimum?

Ok So after waiting for a week for my Chaining that was on order I decided to cancel it, I am now going to order one from Dale from Kitted, that is proudly made South African. It is also much cheaper then Race Face.

I hope it doesn't take that long, would like to have my stuff before Karoo 2 Coast.

How long does normal shipping take form CRC to reach the local post office, as my order was shipped yesterday with the normal postage, will I have it in 2 week time?

Still waiting for my order, know the following question has started to bug me, how much weight will I save, as I have XT shifter, FD and 2 XT blades and with the cable hosing and cable gone. Any estimation from anyone?

Thanks guys! I think I’ll go with the 32t on my 29er, will just have to get used to it but should not take that long. I'm looking forward to it now

Hi all, I know this topic has been around but bear with me I am currently running front blades 26 and 38, with a 34-11 cassette. And Am in need of a new drive terrain, so I am going for a 36/11 cassette, But don’t know what CHAIN GEAR 30t or 32t?? When I am in my second lowest gear that is 30t and my 26t in front, it is 0.87 turn per stroke, and I manage to get everywhere with that. Now my Question is must I get a 30t or 32t? With the 30T my granny will be doing 0.83 per stroke and with the 32T 0.89 per stroke. Ialso don't want to spin out to badly. I am not sure what to take, can anyone please give me advice on what will work best? Thanks!!!!!!

Just bought it, can't wait to ride it

Hi I'm in the market for new pedals, and I saw the Eggbeaters 1 at CWC for R620, thats a good price for my budget. Are they good? Pros and Cons? I have been using the SPD Shimano pedals you get when buying a bike, but it's warn out and is giving me knee problems. Thanks in advance.

Sea Bee I had every thing checked at my LBS and every thing will fit 100% all I have to buy extra is the presfit BBs. Thanks for the advice so far all.

I would love to get the advance but don't know the price yet and I don't know when it will be available, and the 2013 models that are available doesn't have my size.

Hi fellow Hubbers I am looking at buying a new Anthem frame, I can get a new one for R9350, can I get any other full suspension in this price range? Does any one have feedback on the Anthem frame? Thanks in advance

Got my 2013 Frame today and it looks great!! just hope that it is not heaver then my 2012 Vida 1 Frame. The bike looks great with that white frame Silverback is the best, never had I received such world class service.
