Thanks, will have a chat to the guys at chain reaction cycles as well

It’s for my Pyga Stage Max, cant justify one carbon rim ????

I’m based in Kenya, so will need to ship from Europe or US - Spank don’t have any in stock at the moment either. Will only be able to get in the next 60 days. I can’t wait 60 days, so will look for a similar rim to the Spank’s 28 hole, with a inner width of 35mm any alternative suggestions?

Good day all! I need a few suggestions. I need to replace a cracked Spank Oozy Trail 395+ Rear rim. The issue is that I can only find the 32 hole and struggling to find the 28hole. do I go for a similar size 28 hole rim? If yes, please assist with suggestions thanks

For those wanting to go the finance way, just wanted to give you guys a heads up. Service from Bikelife is great when you signing up and pay your deposit, but thats were it ends. They dont reply to emails and absolutely no customer service.

frame size?

Frames still available, will put on classifieds later today

Will do

How does 14k sound?

nice try partydave! None for sale on the hub, so nothing to compare it too

Need some guidance please, Im thinking of upgrading my one ten frame to the stage max. What would be a fair asking price for a one ten frame (large) in good condition, frame was purchased in 2015.

Hi Etienne, I have brought over 3 bikes from SA to Malawi, no issues. I would however get the box plastic wrapped at the airport. Will help protect bike and less likely customs in Zambia will want to check box and ask questions. Are you interested in doing the 1ZambiaMTB stage race? ( http://www.1zambiamtb.com ) Im looking for a partner

April fools?

I need to get some electronic gears. OP, you obviously didn't speak to the right person at Olympic Cycles. Ask to speak to manager, keep calm and explain your situation. Cant go in guns blazing over a bolt.

Its a decent entry level bike, very heavy for a hard tail, components aren't great or even good. My honest opinion, wait for something better and be careful of scammers on OLX and Gumtree, bike hub is safer option to purchase. Its not necessarily about brand anymore, its more about components, wheel size, etc. Check bikehubs classified, and use the filter for frame & wheel size. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/category/25-complete-bikes/

Hi Nardus, welcome to MTB. If you have committed to the sport and see yourself mountain biking long term. Rather save up and get yourself a decent bike, kit, etc. R6000 is not going to get you far. A typical rookie mistake is to buy a cheap bike and a few months down the line regret the purchase. Take your time, ask plenty of questions and test ride a few bikes. I would definitely go second hand. Good luck!

I think every oneten owner has asked himself the same question and most use a dropper post ruling out the seat post for a extra cage.

Thats the tricky bit. I have 1 man tent - Egear Echo - have removed the fly sheet, rainy season is just about over here and then a self inflating mattress. Both fit in the orange bag in front. Sleeping bag goes in the saddle bag, but might swop it around, tent in saddle bag and sleeping bag upfront.

Getting ready for a trip through Malawi, into Mozambique, then Tanzania and back into Malawi, basically circling Lake Malawi, hopefully in July. But first a few practise runs in Southern Malawi. I agree, will put two water bottle cages on the forks. Probably wont be using this bike for the big trip, hopefully my ECR will be here soon and will transfer kit onto it.

double post

I agree! Luckily the trip is going to be relatively flat,

Busy setting up my bike for a 5 day trip. Trying to figure out what goes where and testing the setup. No backpack, everything on the bike. Heavier items in the frame bag, lighter items on top. Have to take everything with me, its the first time bikepacking with a full load. few shops around here, and will carry all food and about 5 litres of water, will be able to top up in most villages. Any setup suggestions are welcome
