rock

pics are in tweeta but.......the light is atrocious and it has nothing bolted to it!

at this rate my bike will be finished before yours...and the paint is still factory. c'mon.....bring it.

Cape Town break away event needed...

yup, petrol station and one of these: http://ridingway.com.au/2012/images/ValveConvert-FV-AV.jpg

please fit your own tyres, what you going to do if you get stick with a puncture in the middle of no where.

Beards for the win! so who's going to start a "show your beard" thread?

definitely overpriced.......

I'm sure the argus is exactly what he wants to add to his palmares? You know, couple world champs, world cups, epics etc just aren't compete without some cape town fun ride.

Just waiting for the front hub adapter....oh and rotors are at Cape Mail.

the elite bunch at the Argus should finish on top of signal hill......

easy, they should just half their prices to be inline with other brands then they wont be so desirable for counterfeiters

what exactly needs to be 'fixed' on the bike? I don't like this idea of general servicing that people bike shops seem to think their bikes needs all the time....

Afraid I have, had a mate who had a 150mm DH bike circa 1997 with a triple ring crank and rode with us on it...and usually beat me up the hills

there was a thread about Volcan ages ago, think it was closed when lawyers got involved. Not Swiss. Local.

You're right....and bring a few beers while they're at it

Thanks Crow, im going to assume you have a big tyre upfront which wont be suitable.....that and im too cheap for the petrol out there...

shot in the dark here, need (would like) your 650b front wheel (15mm hub) to borrow for a couple hours to complete my bike build and set everything up, wont even ride the bike with the wheel, just need to get bar height etc. sorted. Cape Town, southern suburbs, (not too south)

Mavic for the win! http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/6d/d5/e5/6dd5e53409efd15b647d5e4fa8d4885e.jpg

2014 SR Suntour Epicon XC 27.5 100 or 120mm travel, internally adjustable Remote lock out, usually not a fan, but the lever is quite discreet 15mm thru axle, very quick, non threaded design. Recently improved so it doesn't get stuck inside your hub. Great value at well under R3500 depending on your LBS

when I had three up front I'd sit in the middle all day long, when I had a 2x set up I kept shifting between the two, found it a little annoying.....

suppose I should contribute....

they did this for me....not the best photo, its really shiny. http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy25/rock78pics/CapeTown-20130105-00781_zpsdfc36bcf.jpg

ja, they were cheap, once I'm up and running something bigger/grippier will be needed upfront.

if anyone is still keeping score, a headset was procured and fitted, fork ordered arrived at LBS, hub adapters and stem ordered too, rotors in the postal system.... old esi grips found in tool box...
