  1. Those wheels make me cringe. Reminds me of those crap plastic rims people run on their bmx bikes.
  2. Don't have his number saved, but messaged another guy I know that friends with him. Will DM you the number as soon as I get it
  3. He is a solid guy. Work at a bikeshop as far as I know. Bought some parts from him and I've been to his house 2 or 3 time to collect parts
  4. we used to run our front brake cables through the top cap and down the steerer tube . Leaves an ugly loop, but affords you the option for bar spins etc. much more elegant on this bike though. The holes in the handlebar for the hoses just freak me out a bit. look like failure points waiting to happen
  5. If I may quote Deadpool: "good think I am wearing my white pants today"
  6. Only thing I can think of is fluid leaks. Rear brake will have to have some type of gyro/waking joint to accommodate the handle bar spin. unless they have some type of mechanical stop for the bars. And hydrolic gyros/walking joints in my experience, just ended up giving trouble. Brake lever position on the bars is also quite a personal thing. That relative to bar rise, sweep etc will make things kind of interesting. Cant see this as being a one size fits all solution. But looks damn neat. can give them that
  7. Is it the spacer between the free hub and the cassette? if so, I have a spare for you
  8. Not that I know of. Its just a case of swoppping End Caps, if it is a Pro2 EVO. Not Sure about the old Pro 2
  9. That setup is a mate of mine's. We used it to stiffen his 135mm qr rear triangle on his Antherm. Essentially turned his Hope Pro 4 into a bolt-on hub like on a dirt jumper (135x10). The OLD will still be 135 with this setup installed and it is bolted on with 10mm Capscrews. Unfortunately it wont solve the OP's issue to convert his hub to 142x12
  10. Thanx guys. Laced up the rear Kore/hope pro 4 last night. Need to buy spokes for the front wheel still. Will ride them a bit and see. Calculated weight for the wheelset is 2050g so probably isnt that heavy at the end of the day
  11. They are for my Ibis Mojo HD3. Had some spank spike 35's on my dirt jumper/dh bike back in the day and i loved them. Just seems semi inpossible to find solid 650b hoop locally. Want something solid, not too heavy and not too expensive. But know I wont be able to tick all three those boxes in one go
  12. Hi guys and girls, I am in the process of replacing the rims on my Ibis Mojo HD3. Currently have Stan Flow Ex on Stans 3.30 hubs, but i am not a fan of the engagement of the rear hub. I bought a set a hope pro 4's and a set of Kore Realm 3.0 hoops. Originally wanted the Raceface Arc30's, but the Arc's i bought ended up being 29" and i sold them on again. I cant really find any reviews of the Kore's online and their weight kinda puts me off (585g a hoop, vs the 490g of the arc's). Not sure if its worthwhile to spend the money to lace up the Kore's. Does anyone have any experience with the Kore Realm 3.0? Or should I rather try getting my hands on the Arc30's or something similar?
  13. No news on trails being open or someone fessing up on their facebook page. So guess No more after work Mont Marie missions
  14. I can recommend Bogus One and Carbon Bike Repair in Durbanvile. Both did some work on my bikes in the past
  15. I fully agree. Yet we still need to respect the landowner, who gives us access to his property, free of charge. If we can't respect his rules or request, how much better as we than the land grabbers? It all comes down to the entitlement epidemic sweeping through the country
  16. I just though of something. There is another way to get onto gutted baboon along the top of the trail. There is a route splitting off to the left as you approach this entrance taht takes you back towards eden and up above the tree line.. Was that route closed off / marked as close also?
  17. comment removed, read like a muppet again I know of a certain ou toppie riding his ebike that side. Ran into him plenty times rididing there after work
  18. This sounds awesome. I more than keep to give back. Love that trails. Totally gutted that we cant ride it anymore
  19. do it...Fox 36 for the win
  20. Contact Robbies Bicycle Concepts in PE. They do it
  21. CBR did an awesome job repairing my Merida's cracked toptube and restored my bike to its original graphics. Plan to take my ibis to them to restore some paint chips as soon as i have cash available again. Can highly recommend their work
  22. Other option is to replace your steerer tube if all else fails. Robbies Bicycle Concepts does ND Tuned Steerer Tube replacements. Quoted a friend 1500 for a new steerer for his Pike
