Got one for sale... #JustSaying https://www.bikehub.co.za/index.php?app=hubmarket&module=core&do=view_item&item_id=270632&new=1

Guys, I can't thank and commend you enough for the support this competition has gained! As a spoiled brat when it comes to trails (living in KZN) it is fantastic to see how people from across SA have come together to get behind this competition. I understand that the prize is attractive, but the movement here goes beyond that and speaks to the community that we have formed as cyclists. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts and feedback as to how we can do more activities like this to generate funds for local trails, as well as what trail centers you believe are most deserving and / or in need of fund raising in this manner? Feel free to post on here or DM me?

The prizes aren't sold to Tokai, they are donated, so all proceeds will benefit the trails

The goal is obviously to collect more $$ in entries / donations than the cost of the bike, otherwise we may as well just give the $$ directly to Tokai, but I think its an awesome initiative, and Flipper has been a HUGE contributor here too.

If you're feeling lucky / cheeky just drop pics and details in this thread with your ideal frame model / size / colour combo

Hey guys, we will work with the winner on their choice of frame and spec. We have budgeted for a CC frame with a SRAM build kit and Performance Elite suspension. This would cover any of the MTB frames with the appropriate kit. In terms of Stigmata, this would definitely be an option though I would need to look at availability of parts kits to confirm.

So stoked to be part of this initiative and get some trails going in Tokai!

Just a note, your derailleur wasn't "stiff" as a fault, this is actually the sprag clutch on new style derailleurs. The sprag clutch is essentially a one-way mechanist so the cage of the derailleur had a large amount of tension and friction in one direction, but returns smoothly. This assists in chain retention, particularly on 1X designs. They are assembled with a special grease paste that assists in the friction, and this also prevents them from creaking. Getting your LBS to service and replace the grease / paste will sort your problem out.

That color is PMS 7584c. Let us know how the bike looks once it's all wrapped up. : -)

But, these are all available, and I think most dealers will agree that we get product across the country reasonably fast

I've got a personal "stash" of 2.5" Minion DHF from when I was still on the EVIL... PM if you're needing, I really have no use for them these days

Hey Neil Feel free to give me a buzz today in the office and I can give you some advice on your options. Far too much to go into here I'm afraid. Long and short is your options are reasonably limited on the Trek due to the BB standard they employed on their older models, but we do have a solution that should get you sorted.

Ladies and gentleman... pricing is up. Bikes are on order. ETA is 3rd week in April. Be sure to secure yours ASAP as numbers are limited: https://www.santacruzbicycles.com/en-ZA/node/1779

Hoping to have pricing and web updated by tomorrow We are working really hard to keep prices in line / competitive with the US$ MSRP. This puts a bit of pressure on the dealers as it has reduced their margin a bit (obviously ours too). For rough calculation: US$ price x ROE + 14% V.A.T (shipping / handling usually adds 5% or so...)

How is this meaningless here in SA?

The issue you have there is that you aren't using a LUST tyre... that almost looks like a non TR which is even more alarming. Can you pop me a DM with pics so I can help you out with some advice?

Ladies welcome too!

Import duty on helmets doesn't help...

Thanks so much to everyone who came through on Friday! What a great evening! Huge thanks to Jack Black Brewery for being such gracious hosts, Gary Perkin for the awesome presentation, and of course to Mr Minn for taking the time to fly down to Cape Town to drink beer and talk bikes. For those of you who missed it... sorry for you We will be doing plenty more though, so be sure to check out the next one, you wont be disappointed! If anyone got pics they want to share, I'd be keen to see them here?

Because we have the travel schedule of Mr Minnaar and Flipper to manage. Gary is literally on a plane back from Chile, and Minnaar flies to Spain on Saturday. Night harvest... pffft. Come early, grab a beer and get to night harvest happy and with a full stomach

No sealant reacts well to CO2 to be honest. Best is always to frequently check your sealant, and in the event of inflating your tyre, whether using pump, compressor or CO2, do so with the valve at the top of the wheel

That would be correct

Sorry Jason, I didn't want to be punting brands. I like to stay neutral... our sealant can be purchase through most leading bike stores across the country, and event stores who may not stock it will certainly be able to order it.
