Question on sram nx derailleur 12 speed. My cage broke and I already replaced it with Shimano setup. However thinking as a spare, just fit a new cage. Do I fit a gx cage -seems straight fit to me Or should I try out this kcnc cage that's advertised in the classifieds ? Any advice?

Going with the 5nm and some carbon paste Thanks gents

Tried searched the worldwide web but can't find the torque spec required to tighten Lyne Amp handlebar? Do i use 5nm or use amp stem torque guideline but that is alloy?

How do you switch country? Using VPN ?

Genuinely think that when ppl new to the hub are selling something, when you message them you should receive pop up disclaimer "New hub user - please verify sellers authenticity before purchase etc...." Atleast some warning to buyers. Could be for hubber with less than 3 months registration or less than 10 posts etc @Desmonde see if the carbon can be checked and repaired. Sorry about your incident

What broke off that arm? That perhaps what caused Crack or paint crack

Take your time do research. Test friends bikes or go hire a bike and test on trail. Try a hardtail out, then a dual suspension and see what you feel better on. Then save up for what you really want . In my view, 90percent of folks who start on a hardtail, progress to a dual suspension. Some still keep the hardtail as well.

Have you checked out these bikes personally? Taken someone with you that has some experience? Have you tested other bikes? If you deadset on one of these then R6k is an ok amount for the xcaliber, if all components in good condition, brakes working well. Is it Tubeless, if not will cost you additional zar. When last service, check if chain or cassette needs replacement soon. If you can pay R5000 or R5500 then even better. Seen similar spec bikes advertised for R6000 to R9000

If priced the same I would go xcaliber. Has internal cable routing and is generally model up from the marlin. Pending on the year model of either and obviously based on standard equipment and condition of components

Armour ride has free fitment special for month of august

This due to poor service or scott having better product and service?

More than swak, fraudulent. Hope you get refund at mountain bru

Welldone on the build, looks awesome. Seen many on the road but actually never seen them advertised anywhere

This clarity you provided is key, free normal shipping is royal mail/sapo.

I have gone the warranty route, to check with them. If not successful then will attempt the epoxy root If that fails epoxy fails, potentially 50/50 but I'm doing it for the greater hubs interest. Then meantime scout around for hub deals

I see getstoked having sale on dtswiss, so I shall be heading that route. Just doing some research

I took the suggestion to my lbs and they advised the same, epoxy will work but they doubt it will last long. So I am on the hunt for a new hub, wont risk 2nd hand just incase same crap pops up again. 3 weeks ago, snapped rear derailleur, now a broken hub. ???? The hobby that loves our wallet as much as we love the hobby ????????

Going to purchase tomorrow, today was like a crazy Monday Hoping local hardware or builders has this Also need to buy a proper pick to remove ratchet

I think I will attempt this instead of paying Btwn R2500 to R5k for new hub ???????? This will be my last option, thanks Definitely will try this Wish me luck

Yes It is rotating! So it's screwed? Noooooo

Hoping the wise hubbers can help I have deeds hub 6 pawl hubs that are not engaging when I pedal. Removed the hub to check if hub was gunked up or not moving freely etc. We did all the basic checks of the pawls and springs and they all move as they should but the ratchet teeth in the hub also moves, which I doubt that it should. As I back pedal it moves perfectly and noisy as usual.lol This pic is for reference, to show what part is moving. Should it ? If not why would it rotate and feels fairly stiff as it rotates Then pic of the deed hub, can't find too much info on the web about deed hubs.

Interesting insight into specialized business model and end of day the consumer benefits. Or is least impacted by middlemen markups. Always known bike profits are low, same like tiger wheel n tyre the profits on tyres are minimal but the additional items and add one is where money is made so its a fairly widely spread model too. On the sram entry-level components I agree with you, just switched to Shimano xt from sram nx and it's worlds apart and was slightly cheaper than gx setup. Always good to read your insider inputs ????????

So they already facing the "heat" and it's not cool

I do wonder how financially well off one needs to be to logically pay over R100k-R240k for a bike, then some still need to add interest on that. I personally would want a 2 fully paid up properties, 3rd investment property and sound savings/investment that is paying off that bike, oh trust me tho I'd love to have a levo sworks sl or Santa Cruz ebike in my possession right now???? To each their own on how they spend their cash/credit ???????? The banking industry just found new segment to capitalize on the situation Jealousy makes me nasty lol
