Due South seem to have a couple sizes available online. Maybe you're lucky enough to be one of a UK7, 9 or 13... http://www.duesouth.co.za/pdp/adidas-men-s-terrex-trail-cross-sl-shoe-black/_/A-194614AAAH5

Reviving this thread again. Any feedback on the Treads, specifically the sizing and fit? Was the wide and tall toe box retained?

Dropping into Jonkers Black Route at 1:23

Only available pricing is in USD at the moment. $379 for the Factory post and $329 for the Performance post. That includes the cost of the lever. Local availability and pricing TBC

Check out pinned for 35mm raceface stems http://www.pinned.co.za/stems/

Perhaps something like this will help pedestrians hear us cyclists approaching

Yip, considered this as well. So far no feedback from the stores I have contacted. Will be following up. Cool, thanks will look into this. The 2FO clip is available locally in a EU48 but I doubt that this could work well on a flat pedal with the cleat recess...although this was suggested to be an option since the 2FO flat is unavailable.

Anyone have suggested options for the large end of the flat pedal shoe spectrum? Tried on the only EU48 Five Ten that is available locally (Freerider Contact) and it was too small The 2FO flat is currently not available locally in a EU48. Any other options?

You can try using the chart below to check if the 420mm stealth will fit your medium OneTen

Ok cool, thanks for the heads up rouxtjie. Good to know

What about MX Alliance? They seem to stock TLD pads...unless I'm missing something https://mxalliance.co.za/product-category/bicycle/protection-bicycle/?ppp=72

Cool, thanks for the advice. Most reviews suggest they are not a problem but worth keeping in mind. Mostly getting a list of options together and trying to see if these are viable. Seems the Dainese are falling to the bottom of the list now.

Anyone know if Dainese trail skins knee guards are available locally? http://www.fc-moto.de/WebRoot/FCMotoDB/Shops/10207048/5330/0240/63B9/0022/9D5D/4DEB/AE41/94A2/TRAIL-SKINS-KNEE-GUARD.jpg

OK cool, guess it's the only option really. Should work out. The goal is really to avoid having a cable that is flapping around and allowed to possibly cause significant cable rub on the frame.

Having confirmed it is possible to drill the hole in the old frame to accommodate the stealth, the question I have is how are you going to route the cable? The newer frames have the option to route the stealth cable underneath the down tube with the rear derailleur cable and rear brake hose to then go through the hole in the frame, whilst the older frames only have the routing option for two cables on top of the down tube (AFAIK). So where will the stealth cable be routed on the older frame?

Yeah I would agree in that the bare FD mount wasn't a bother, but I saw an opportunity for a bit of tinkering which appealed to me! Makes little difference really but was fun to get the design right (well to me at least) . The colour of my 110 is the standard 2015 paint job. The colour in the pics is likely an artefact of the HDR feature of my phone camera, makes it look more like a matte green! Attached a pic of my bike in its natural surrounds, think the standard colour is more apparent in it.

Thanks Flow ! Had to teach myself some 3D modelling, was a fun mini project

Placed a more detailed post under Tech Q&A of my project. I designed and had a cover plate 3D printed for my Pyga OneTen to cover the frame mounting position where the FD used to be. Stoked with the outcome!

Hi Hubbers I recently took on a (fun) personal project of finding an alternative to the commercially available cover plates used to cover up the frame mounting space left when removing the high direct mount front derailleur for a 1x conversion. After searching the interwebs I cottoned onto a 3D printed plate through options and ideas from Shapeways and the MTBR forums. Shipping for the Shapeways product made it unreasonably expensive for what it is ($6 for the plastic plate, $20 for shipping), so I contacted a few 3D printing companies in Cape Town to see if someone could help me out. And success! I managed to find someone! Following a bit of trial and error with my design I ended up with a plate that I am pretty stoked with!! I have customised it for my Pyga and I think it looks pretty rad! The finish of a 3D print is not the smoothest, but it's hardly noticeable when viewed from a short distance. Best part is it cost a fraction of anything else out there, amped Thoughts on the outcome are welcome and I'm happy to try help anyone out who would be interested in doing the same for their 1x conversion. By this I mean I can either share my 3D file with you (if you can access a 3D printer) or look at getting plates printed through my own source (limited to black or white) and then take it from there. I assume the design would be a universal fit, but have only managed to test it out on the Pyga frame so far. Given that it is also a very recent addition to my bike I have no idea of durability of the part and how it will stand up to the elements (it's made from ABS plastic) but will post future updates here. Fingers crossed it will have some longevity! Overall though I think the project was a success, win!

Ah right! Ok cool, good to put a face to the Renaissance Man Sorry I didn't hang round longer to chat to you guys, next time for sure

Yes indeed

Check with Bibi, he might have some ODI Rogue grips https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/111163-odi-candy/ Not sure about lizardskins

Saw the Reign parked outside the Conters coffee shop before I went off onto the trails on my OneTen29. It was mid-morning, assume you had returned from the trails already. But yeah, the bike certainly caught my attention!

Saw this bike at Contermans yesterday. Awesome looking machine!
