Momsen. Try squeeze for a 229

The Avids are available if anyone is interested. https://www.bikehub.co.za/index.php?app=hubmarket&module=core&do=view_item&item_id=96146&new=1

Finally got me a cool light! Even has "angel eyes" ala BMW. All for a princely sum of R750. Pm if you want lights!

Less weight, less to spin up as you pedal. Something like ZTR Crest, and then do tubeless on the bike.

I have one too. Shock and tyre pump in one. Linden Cycles has it.

But its all relative, if exchange is lower, the bike prices will both change. Guys complain about the same stuff in the US, you buy a MTB for $10000 and you buy a KTM450 for less than $8000. Oh, and you dont still need to buy pegs etc for the KTM...

Thanks for the advice went for the RX. Got a slightly used set for R1300. They just look so cool! They should mount straight up to my Avid rotors?

They are *** period. Bad modulation one second they only work if you squeeze to the bar next second you touch them and you launch off the bike. Bled them over and over just don't work for me

What is high maintenance? What do they need done regularly?

Are the formulas not also fit and forget

I have Elixir 1's on my bike and I hate them. I have a choice of either a used set of Shimano Slx or Formula RX brakes. Both are 2013, and they will both be mounted up to my Avid rotors (180f 160r) ( should work?) So which to choose?

Never say never!

Cheapish carbon hardtail bike frames can give you an extremely harsh ride or choppy terrain.

unless he is really short. That Giant is an awesome bike, don't like Titan at all. I'd narrow it to a Giant, a Scott Scale 7 series or the Silverback if you want a sweet 27.5 HT.

All I know is 2 August, no venue confirmed yet. I'm guessing it will be Modders or maybe Buffelspoort

Good event, the new single track section needs compressing, but otherwise lekker. Lots of potential for shortcutting, even caught a few okes. Very sad really.

Get a Silverback Sola or a Momsen AL229. Done and dusted, solid bikes and last until the bug hits properly.

They are getting pricey unfortunately. And goodie bags are getting smaller too. Early bird entry was cheap, I think it was only like R140.

Exactly! and I've seen how he rides, only repair I'd do on it is fill it with cement.

Bit late as online entries are closed, but I think you can still enter on the day!

Momsen AL529. Problem solved.

It is an awesome bike, but if you are in the over 85kg region I would look elsewhere as the shock is prone to self destructing.

You will notice the fine print that says specs are subject to change without notice. It happens, manufacturers change specs as they get deals from suppliers.
