  1. The 591 I have a 591 and 598 on my car, personally no considerable difference. 598 has the angle mounted wheel strap, seems to ground bike wheels abit better. The main clamp onto frame has the torque limiter to prevent over tightening, great if you have carbon frames but definitely not a must have. I had thule free ride before, was just as good and sturdy too at much less of a price tag
  2. Exactly the Titans i have been eyeing.Even a silverback spectra has low standover height.
  3. How many proride racks you looking to buy? My cousin was selling proride for R1800 in great condition
  4. Need input plz. I have 3 sons 9,8 and 3. 9 yr old rides on a xs 29er trek x caliber with steeply sloped topbar. 8 yr old ride 26er small avalanche that i had to return to my brother that was on loan. So i need to purchase another bike. Do i buy s 29er with same steep sloped topbar or get a medium 26er with same steep sloped topbar. Yes the 9yr old just about touched his feet on ground while straddled over the bar.Same with 8yr on the 26er. They both into riding their bmx bikes however they enjoy the odd gravel ride on mtb. Do i buy another 26er medium or 29er small? 9yr old gets small 29er(a new potential bike) 8yr old gets handed down xs 29er trek Bear in mind keep the bikes as succession plans for them as they grow, hand me downs. My concern 26ers are becoming outdated and kids grow so quick, however iknow they be comfier on 26er.
  5. Agree the fluid 1x12 does feel sluggish, i feel that too on way home from the trails. Only option is bigger chainring right to remedy this?
  6. Nice upgrade on that brakes, were you having issues with brake fade or just not fast enough braking? FS3 is 1 x 11 right? Will the oval really help much? Or is it just hype?
  7. its perfect for that filler series to watch Kick me out after the first round, atleast i score the kit, wonder if the bike also yours
  8. My brother has bought a set of hydraulic brakes from them, no issues at all.
  9. rd has a clutch yes, just know my boy will need that extra granny gears. Leave it as 1 x 10 and leave the 38T chain ring upfront? dont want it to be too tough on him and then he loses interest in riding - this is project we building together to get him "into" the sport
  10. Or do I just fit a shimano XT or XTR front deraillier?
  11. so my dumb ass didnt consider the fact that this trek x caliber doesnt have the mounting points for the sram front deraillier and nobody in SA has the adapter clamps and if I find it overseas sights prolly cost me R800 to R1000 landed , it seems. Man, what to do now? import it or rather go 1 x 11 or 1 x 12 and layout more cash for new groupset
  12. Awesomeness....details man. Also was reward paid lol
  13. Think the wife said it all must go after told him she is expecting? I dont think a kid is that bad that must sell it all, instantly ( I have 3 of them ) https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/ads/user/5567
  14. I ride MTB as its an awesome way to de stress, unwind and take in the beauty that our country have on offer. the thrill of descending is an awesome rush and just pumps that happy drugs through the body I find it much easier on the body than the marathon training i usually do- however does cost alot more than running and doesnt get rid of the fat as fast as running does.
  15. the good reviews on these continue to come in 500grams difference between allow and carbon and love the clean welds
  16. Really? Cost cutting man thats why
  17. I asked him for any straight steerers and he said he doesnt have. I asked new or 2nd, said had niks. New stock in November, sadly
  18. So evo didnt have the rs recon. Are receiving stock in November tho so i will wait it out. Scan classifieds till then for a deal maybe
  19. This is an excellent price, holy crap. Just plz check the clauses in the contract. Seems abit way too good to be true basis all the quotes i received.
  20. rule of thumb in SA, never leave your bike unattended sadly sorry for the loss buddy, hope you had insurance
  21. If they can source i dont mind the shipping. Thanks for heads up will try them if no luck with evo bikes. Im sure the rs recon is serving u well besides the black coloured stanchions
  22. I tried calling today but Janos wasnt available and who i spoke to wasnt sure. So i dropped him an email but will try again tomorrow. The suntour forks arent bad, the raidon is of decent spec.
