  1. In case there is a random chance anyone finds value in these, I have a bike frame box (for an XL frame) and 29er wheelset box available if anyone wants them (collection in Pinelands). I'm planning to recycle them but first thought I'd check if someone can use them.
  2. I have a few things for collection in Cape Town (PInelands) if anyone is interested. Would prefer that someone takes the lot. PM me if interested Two used camelbaks (one bladder has a small leak by the fill hole), two pairs XL gloves (well used), used 32t NW ring (104 BCD), pack cover, arm protectors (size: M/L), ladies First Ascent bike shorts (size M), tyre repair tools (no plugs): Two Maxxis 29er tyres: Aggressor 2.3; Ikon 2.35. Both have been plugged once and I think could be revived with a bit of a repair. Both tyres still have good tread life left.
  3. Sounds like OP will be losing the argument...
  4. The build looks lekker! But you're also trying to sell it?
  5. Hey Hubbers. I have some parts and books that I'm wanting to get rid of. I'm not wanting to split this up and would rather have someone who can pick this up in the Cape Town area (I'm in Pinelands) to take this off my hands. The pics should hopefully be self explanatory, but PM me if you have any questions or are keen on taking everything. I'll work on a first come first served basis here.
  6. The first number is the internal diameter of the seat tube. For the OneTen you want a 30.9mm seatpost
  7. Luca Shaw isn't dating Emily Batty! He is dating Jolande Neff, who is on the Trek team
  8. Yeah, I had this issue. Disappointing to say the least
  9. That sounds like an awesome build! Thoroughly enjoy my Primal 29!
  10. That's much like Giant's OD/OD2 steerers... "Oversized headset bearings (1 1/4-inch top and 1 1/2-inch bottom bearings) and a tapered steerer tube combine for unprecedented steering performance with no additional weight" Yeah right, thanks for nothing besides a PITA Giant! Similarly expensive exercise to get things aligned with what everyone else used
  11. What if you don't moto? Besides, I don't think this is a bike industry "standards" thing. It's more personal preference IMO. You can still use brakes from 10 years ago on a bike today if you wanted, can't say the same for wheels (for example)
  12. The number of active threads of cyclists being targeted, attacked, bike jacked, knocked over etc. at the moment is too damn high!
  13. If the hub fits in the fork, surely the end caps are irrelevant? In the one pic of the disc against mounting to the hub, there is clearly thread visible between the "back end" of the rotor and hub. The disc should presumably sit flush against the hub? Is there a spacer between the hub and disc? Clearly something is pushing the disc further away from the hub then it should be, almost as if there is a boost adapter behind the disc to use non-boost wheels in a boost fork.
  14. Have you looked at or considered nylon/composite pedals at all? Can't comment on stock availability as online 'in stock' can always be a gamble, but the OneUp pedals may be worth considering. Check out Trail Tech Cycles https://trailtechcycles.co.za/collections/pedals
  15. This version makes more sense for the trails https://www.lookcycle.com/pl-en/products/pedals/mtb/trail-roc/trail-roc
  16. These make sense to me for pedals on a commuter as it opens up options for shoes that can be worn without slipping off (presumably) or destroying the soles of shoes that aren't necessarily dedicated to cycling. Out on the trails, I can't see these being the next big thing in the flat pedal world
  17. I agree, why go cleats? For someone on a budget, going cleats is not only new pedals but also new shoes. While flat pedal specific shoes are definitely the way to go, you can get away with something in between and still get out and ride. Same can't be said for cleats. Besides that, there is no motivation provided as to why someone should switch to cleats. What benefits are being punted?
  18. If looking at Maxxis, have you considered an Ardent/Aggressor combo or Aggressor front and rear? There's also the Minion semi slick which you could combine with the Aggressor or Ardent up front. Otherwise there is the Onza combo of the Ibex/Citius to consider.
  19. Yeah, most definitely not it. The routing hole is located just beneath where the front derailleur mount is and is rearward facing. The below pic is best I can do in helping point out where to look.
  20. Honestly cannot be sure if there is a specific identifier on the frames aside from essentially whether or not the routing hole exists. I received a frame in early 2015 as a warranty replacement that had the routing hole already so perhaps anything prior to this didn't. But ultimately either the frame has the routing hole or it doesn't
  21. The newer OneTen frames came with a pre-drilled hole to install an internally routed dropper, which is located toward the bottom of the seat tube facing rearwards. There has been previous discussion on this thread about drilling the hole yourself if you have one of the earlier iterations of the frame. You can chat to the guys at Pyga about how to go about it, but here is a link to one of the first posts asking the question https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/119246-post-your-pyga/?p=2711559. The discussion about how to drill the hole yourself follows thereafter.
  22. Options for streaming are discussed here https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/186567-live-stream-tour-de-france-2020/page-3?do=findComment&comment=3701119
  23. The pedals look like Burgtec MK5s https://burgtec.co.uk/product/penthouse-flat-mk5-pedals/
  24. Speaking of One Day Only, they have a sale on Alpine Stars gear
