  1. I check now they removed pat's signature from the top tube...heck that was the bike's no1 selling point. Pity
  2. that deserves a bad rating in my books...
  3. good enough for cedric, good enough for us hey
  4. yoh nice, but that linkage....need a phd to service it I am sure
  5. ja nee, mooi bly mooi...but my wife will blixem me twice and file divorce if I pitch with that thing... So only moered me once with the pyga
  6. stuur hom in sy moer in...tell him you no longer want to sell it to him.
  7. Mmmm, I am just going to say it. Not the best idea. Even though I am a fan of steel, it's elasticity doesn't make this a great choice even though the intentions are good. Have ovalized 2 steel rings in the past thinking I am clever because steel is mos strong. Alu is still top choice here.
  8. kekeke grapgat...I like it. There I said it. Surely enduro bikes need to be slightly on the silly side to make sense, so to speak.
  9. love it!
  10. same here, jis they have a lbs on premises...bit dusty, still a total gas though, first rains will Mae it beaut
  11. Oom, its a beast, look it's not made for gravel travel, but it's right at home in the Magalies, climbs lekka too, will never be hard tail speed on the ups, but the traction makes those baby heads easier....just sit and spin....
  12. Top of daggapad, loved life today
  13. ooo the dreaded click-clack. Could be loads of things. Eliminate the easiest and the one that will cost the least to replace...start with saddle, remove, clean rails and fit..does it make a noise when you stand. Then chainring bolts...undo clean and tighten. pedals...undo clean. If the noise comes from the rear suspension its probably the bushings...see if you can clean that and refit. Still an issue...linkages.
  14. Nice one, once you have hit that space you will find the annual fomo "itch" doesn't get to you that much. I am a data man, hell call me a data professional if you want(predictive modelling / data science / SPSS daytime job) and I love to work with numbers to figure which bike I should buy. Cost vs gruppo vs fork vs material vs travel vs suspension design vs footprint vs best deal vs weight vs serviceability vs futureproof tech. All the bikes I chosen on paper I don't have anymore and didn't make we want to go ride particularly. All the bikes I chose because I like them vs making sense I still have and will never sell or strip. Giant is unfortunately one of those brands that do buggerall for me...and I get that everyone is different. Some like toyota some like alfa.
  15. get a pyga 110 instead....see their design around this problem spot on bikes
  16. deffos, it might take someone from being 50/50 to pulling the trigger....Show nino overtake absolon in the rockgarden next to the scott's...check that model's sales going up. Or froome crossing the finish line at le tour next to the pinas...
  17. kekekeke....you havent seen my lack of skills...a makro special will be flattering it
  18. deffos...cant agree more, just like ouens on XC bikes never being able to ride like nino, marathon bike like lekata and road bikes like froome. Our(yes all of us tjops here on the hub doesnt matter if you are a roadie/XC/marathon/trail/enduro) talent level maybe, just maybe justifies a makro special
  19. lekkers meneer...ag is what it is...regarding XT calliper. Maybe its a sign to move over to something sexier in a while. PS shot for making a plan for me regarding the caliper...top class 3500 for a reverb is great price.
  20. veraaier.... remember sitting behind the pyga tygas on day 8 of j2c...those were the days my friend
  21. true, I believe trailhead might have some good deals on reverbs that came off other bikes...so new(as in not used) but secondhand..sure they will do a lekker price for you
  22. when do I get my pyga club card..you mos the chairman.
