  1. Thank you for the awesome little project it works great with my Rider 35. Is there a way to upload a previous route on to my Rider 35?
  2. Hello fellow hubbers I just want to update on my new fork. I received it a week ago but had to do quite a few modifications for the fork to fit seeing that I got the tapered version and I had a straight steerer at first. The guys at Wayne Pfeiffer Cycles was really helpful in the fitting of my new fork. Thanks you guys are awesome. Now I can tell you the fork is a huge improvement from my previous fork. The 8 different compression settings makes it easy to adjust while riding the 120mm travel works fantastic. I tested it on 2 downhill sections here in the Baakens Valey and I could feel I was going faster than usual. Unfortunately I forgot to press start on strava to confirm if I did go faster or if it just felt like it. On the normal single track the fork is very plush when set all the way open but can easily be changed by choosing the correct out of 8 compression settings. Even the handling around corners are better and stiffer. In short this fork is really worth the money spent I can't wait to go for a ride again but this time record and compare LOL This is really an awesome upgrade! Sent from my SM-G570F using Tapatalk

  4. Hi, At one stage this question pops into every Mtb rider's mind. I've just used tube sealant in my wheels with the same result as tubeless except the extra weight. One day after a 82km ride, I saw I had some thorns in both wheels. I counted 8 in front and 4 at the rear. Till today I never had to stop to fix a puncture and the sealant was only R90 for 2 tubes.

  5. Thanks for all the feedback I think I will chance it as I don't think I'll get a better deal on a new fork Sent from my SM-G570F using Tapatalk
  6. Hi everyone. I've been trying to save up for a new suspension fork and as always I do have a strict budget. I came across the Manitou Minute Comp on sale at Chain reaction cycles and I'm not sure about the quality, reliability and spare availability when needed. I lnow Suntour is the budget forks but is not the greatest on the market. Please advise what you guys think about the Manitou
  7. Hi Mr Lee. Not really looking at buying one was just wondering about the value for money but if I need pick one it would be the Comp Sent from my SM-G570F using Tapatalk
  8. Hi all hubbers. I've been reading all over the web and forums about the different dual sussers. What do you all think about the new Titan Sonic dual susser? Titan is an entry level brand that is quite unrecognized I think seeing that it was rated the best race ready budged bike in Bycyling magazine 2016. I would like to know what you guys think about the Sonic. Is it going to make it or fade away? Sent from my SM-G570F using Tapatalk
  9. Thanks BenReaper very technical information I knew I would get the right advise on here. Thanks everyone!
  10. Thanks again Koei I know for a fact that the cogs that I'll be using are pined and only the smaller 2 are loose you really help making my decision easier????
  11. Now a new issue presented itself, a friend and mtb pro told me that the 36 rear sprocket might kill the hub, what are your thoughts' on this?
  12. Great I'll let you know what the results are
  13. No Koei 29", do you think it will be a waste?
  14. I mean the maximum teeth compatibility on the Derailleur is 45 but with a12-36 it is 46 but thanks you guys for the info I think I'm gonna go for the 12-36
  15. Hi jetstar500 thanks for the reply yes sorry typo it is 44 lol. So my rear derailleur won't suffer because of the extra tooth (46 instead of 45)?
