    Have you tried it yourself?

    I did the TR29-25 rim swap from my standard Merida 19 or 20mm rims and using an Ardent 2.4 up front and Ardent 2.25 rear. It helped stop the tyre from folding under when running low pressures especially in front and gave me more confidence to attack the corners! The tyres have a nice round profile. I think any wider would be over kill...

    I know you are talking about the older generation of Sora but the new R3000 range is really neat and if you didn't look at the actual name you would easily mistake it for the higher end stuff

    Placed on Thursday and received this morning Was just about to log onto the Dawnwing site and the phone rang....super chuffed

    I feel your pain with keeping up My wife's first bike was a 27.5 and mine was a 29r. Due to the smaller wheel size I obviously got a little further per peddle stroke but when we upgraded to full sussers last year and she went up to a 29r she was right on my back side It's now changed around again cause I have gotten fitter and stronger over the past year You will get there

    As long as you have enough gears for climbing with the selected ratio's you will be fine. Use the down hills for resting so you can give it horns on the next uphill I am 116kg's and don't need to peddle on the down hills as gravity gives me all the speed I need. My top speed on my MTB at the 947 was 70KM/H and that was just free-wheeling from the top of whatever hill! Obviously I needed to bend down and tuck-in as much as possible because my long body creates loads of drag which acts like an air-brake. I even passed a few roadies that were peddling

    I doubt it. Most are I spec II in the groupset deals. The upgrades kits that just have the cassette, derailleur, chain and shifter have the clamp type!
  8. Mr lee
    Well then you need to stay with 3x10 if it is that big a problem....otherwise you will need to come to a compromise. What bike do you have any what is your weight?
  9. Mr lee
    As per the other thread you have going, what are you wanting to achieve? The more information you supply the more accurate the feedback!
  10. Mr lee
    Thought there was a reason why but could not figure it out and it makes sense. He might get away with it if he uses an older and longer cage derailleur....if it works great, if not let us know but why mess around? Just use as intended to avoid the frustration

    Check in the Black Friday only list and not the shocks section. I have noticed a few items not listed under the specific heading but are in the deals list...
  12. Mr lee
    Tell us what you are trying to achieve? You looking for a setup with high top end speed that will climb a vertical wall? The no-level 2x10 I had before going 1x11 was 36-22 so you should not have a problem. I honestly think you will have all you need with a 36-26 with the 11-42! 36 - 11 should easily give you around 50+km/h on a flat...on a 29r 26 - 42 is also plenty for climbing
  13. Mr lee
    Black Friday deals load line by line after clicking "load more"....really wish they would sort this out so the entire list loads at once ...and this after clicking "View all featured products"
  14. Mr lee
    I remember seeing an overseas site earlier in the year doing a test with the 11-46 cassette and they mentioned that they got away with the medium cage BUT this was a 1x11 setup. The limit is 42 on 2x11 setups!
  15. Mr lee
    Why would you want to use an 11-46 with a 2x11 setup? You should have more than enough to climb with a 2x11 cause the chainring usually goes down to a 22 or 24 tooth! It is designed for 1x11...
  16. Mr lee
    There is a clause like this with Berg and Bush. If I remember correctly you are fined or DQ'd if caught!
  17. Mr lee
    While you are at it....do both rims!!! You will be happy you did! There is a reason the 2018 sparks have 25mm id rims ...it's the future
  18. Mr lee
    Not running you down....just having fun with the situation ...while we wait Bump....
  19. Mr lee
    When/if it comes back online....don't think I am going to tell anyone
  20. Mr lee
    Remind me not to buy that brand of shifter....
  21. Mr lee
    The guys must be sweating....it's the virtual equivalent of us all being in front of the shop doors waiting impatiently for them to open....a virtual stampede
  22. Mr lee
    Rapide 25mm or 30mm. Cheaper decent option. Seeing as though you are in JHB you can take your buggered wheel to Wayne and have it rebuilt using his rims ...well that is if he has a 28 hole option...or just swap the hubs out too for stronger 32 hole variants as mentioned above
  23. Mr lee
    Was anyone on the new Vittoria Rubino Pro G+?
  24. Mr lee
    It's fine, every little bit of info helps no matter which side of the question it falls on
  25. Mr lee
    eina!!! Yeah hope he is ok but I can only imagine how it feels to fall on tar at that speed.....I just hope it stays like that
