  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. A new home has been found for these items
  6. 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.
  7. The first number is the internal diameter of the seat tube. For the OneTen you want a 30.9mm seatpost
  8. Luca Shaw isn't dating Emily Batty! He is dating Jolande Neff, who is on the Trek team
  9. That sounds like an awesome build! Thoroughly enjoy my Primal 29!
  10. The number of active threads of cyclists being targeted, attacked, bike jacked, knocked over etc. at the moment is too damn high!
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. The pedals look like Burgtec MK5s https://burgtec.co.uk/product/penthouse-flat-mk5-pedals/
  16. Speaking of One Day Only, they have a sale on Alpine Stars gear
  17. While I certainly miss my 110, the only downside I found when building it up as a more trail orientated bike (i.e. with a 140mm Pike) was that the rear triangle is designed for skinny XC tires. A 2.3 Maxxis Aggressor on the back could only just squeeze in the frame and then any little trail stones collected by the tread would brutalise the frame over time. The rear triangle could only really accept a 2.2 width tyre (by Maxxis standards at least). So when speccing a burly 2.5WT up front in the Pike, the rear end looked a bit skraal by comparison and couldn't accept an equivalent burly tyre to compliment the front. The skinnier XC orientated tyres also generally don't come in stronger casings so for me it was a limitation (I tried a Maxxis Icon but cut the sidewall on its first ride). But then I did acknowledge I was building the frame up a bit beyond its intended use so worked within the limitations. It still remains the one full suss bike I have felt the most "at home" on (granted I have not ridden an extensive list of full suss bikes).
  18. Rear looks the same, front much less so
  19. Once upon a time Mr Christmas Tree was the ultimate proponent of this and it caused much consternation (they're still around, just with a new username). The free market argument wins out each time for this type of activity though.
  20. Only Large and X-Large available, but seems a good price for the Fox Proframe helmet https://www.onedayonly.co.za/proframe-mink-helmet.html
  21. BaGearA, did you find these shims at all? I might have what you need...
  22. Yip, had the same on many an occasion. Seems not everyone actually wants to sell things they list
  23. Bleak they only go up to UK11.5! Story of my shoe life. The shoes look good though
  24. Useful to know! Although when I chatted to the local guys at the Silverback office they had indicated the only option was to discuss direct with Germany if wanting a frame only.
