15mm to 12mm hub conversion

DavidOWright replied to Charity85's topic in Technical Q&A

Hey. I have used 9mm sleeve in the past and they work ok but would suggest getting adaptors. Giant hubs are normally DT swiss so you just need new end caps https://evobikes.co.za/product/dt-swiss-fw-adapter-kit-12-100mm-350-spline-r-spline/ Good luck - can be a puzzle solving the end cap situation but LBS should be able to assist

Titan Racing MTB

DavidOWright replied to Grant Prince's topic in What bike to buy

I really think the Titan is the best value at the moment. Apparently there support service is out of this world (cos they are based here). The bike is modern geometry etc... - if I was buying today it would be a Titan cypher for sure: If you could stretch - this is the deal of the year https://solomonscycles.co.za/products/titanracing-cypher-rs-carbon-ltd-edition-1x12-29-flip-chip-carbon-frame-mountain-bike-dual-suspension-2023/ DT Swiss wheels and suspension!!

DT SWISS Africa: Tech Q&A

DavidOWright replied to MarcHD's topic in Technical Q&A

Hi DT Swiss Looking for guidance - I have a set of Crest MK3s on DT Swiss 240s (CL) - I am now riding a boost bike and want to convert (rear end only) 1. Can I convert the current 240 rear hub to boost? 2. Should I rather switch out hubs? I have found a 350 boost hub BUT - if I do this am I also in for new spokes? Thanks

Lyne Components launches alloy wheelset range

DavidOWright replied to News bot's topic in The Bike Room

Cant be many wheels around that come in under 1600g and cost less that R5,5k - will be interesting to see what the feedback is from people who ride them. Certainly seems like incredible bang for buck! And LYNE also make those funky bottle caps heads sets
