Super Sywurm

In his defense, on my phone I thought the bike was green, but when I upload the pics to the computer, I saw it was yellow.

If I Google correctly, it is a 2016 Scott Spark RC900!?

And the year model?

Can somebody please assist, which model is this? All I know is that it is around a 2016 year model.

I don't have experience with a lot of tyres, but I have never damaged a Crossmark. I always replace them because they did their job (they do puncture). The Ikons on the other hand...sjoe, they don't last. I am kind of exited to try the Recon Races next. I do XC riding.

I insured my bike at Miway. Had a crash and they paid out without problems. Currently insured with Jasure without any claims. Seems fine. Had a couple of questions that they answered quickly. They are a bit cheaper than Miway. The part where you can only activate your premium when riding is nice, but I don't use it. My bike is always insured, I don't want to forget to activate it when I go for a ride. And what if the bike gets stolen from the garage when not insured?

I second the hardtail statement.

Both is fine, I would probably go with the Silverback. As with Titan, I got excellent after sale service form Silverback in the past.

This is one topic I try not to think about...

Cajeesho!!! (sorry, I sneezed).

Which Boschendal route would be suggested for a kind of exprienced XC rider? The longer, the better. Keeping in mind it's a hardtail bike with 100mm travel.

I think the only way to get good reviews on this bike is to get demo bikes out to all the Hubbers...

The shorter the storie, the more legit the sale.

. Your cousin one contacted me regarding a bike, bit he never pitched when I arranged a meeting.

I like Shimano more, but it feel like Sram is more compatible with other brands and easier to work with. That said, I had no problems with any Shimano or Sram products.

I have read somewhere that the pitch of the Shimano and Sram teeth is not complete the same. In short, a Shimano chain on a Sram cassette will wear out more quickly. Correct me if I am wrong.

I currently have a SX chain with a SX groupset and a Rapide 32t Oval chainring. The chain has currently 3200km on and still going The chain will need replacing in a couple of km's. Which replacement chain would be the best for the setup, keeping in mind I do mostly dry Northern Cape XC/Marathon riding.

That is why I have some cheap brakes, to cancel out most of the speed.

Are the black routes here mostly XC?

Nevermind, I answered my own question, went to check the specs.

Any mathematicians here? How would this frame ride with a 100mm fork? Would it work?

I use a SX 12 speed chain. According Strava, the chain was now just past 2500km. And I think there is another 1500-2000km left in the chain. I check the wear regularly.

Somebody should make a poll regarding all the lubes (bike lubes).

I think I have a Squirt sample in my garage, maybe I should use it at some point? I use Smoove and it works for me.
