  1. Updated for 2014 with a Solo Air air spring (only one adjustable air chamber), the 2015 is unchanged and is available in every wheel size and travel options to please most trail riders. Click here to view the article
  2. Need a XD driver (11speed freehub body) for an American Classic wheelset. Come now, peeps...Help a brother out.
  3. With revolutionary advancements in bicycle componentry, like SRAM’s XX1, X01 and X1 drivetrains, mountain bike designers have been given almost limitless freedom to focus solely on the performance of the bike. Each advancement demands that the entire package works flawlessly. Aggressive trail and enduro riders have been increasingly enjoying the benefits of larger wheels, but many still view 27.5" and 29" wheels as a possible weak link. Which is why SRAM has developed an open standard with Boost compatible components for SRAM drivetrain, hubs and RockShox forks. Click here to view the article
  4. So my set up is as follows: X9 Type 2 RD + Wolftooth NW 30t on SRAM crank with Trutativ bash guard. For some reason I am still losing my chain off the front on really bumpy stuff (Like Old DH/Bennets/Flow at Jonkers) I am 99% sure it's chain length related. I cut one link and although it improved it a bit I am still having problems on really bumpy stuff. The chain also bounces between rear cogs on the rough stuff. Just cut more links or is my system somehow flawed? I think I can still cut a link or two without extending the RD near risk zones.
  5. I am the proud new owner of a Momsen Vipa. Started building it last night, but hit a snag or two so will only be completed around lunch today. For now build kit looks like this: Size:...........Large Fork:..........RockShox SID XX 100mm, 15mm TA Shock:.......Fox CTD (Stock) Wheelset:..American Classic Tubeless Handlebar: Race Face SixC 725mm Stem:.........Sunline 50mm Brakes:......Avid Elixer Grips:........ODI Groupset...SRAM X0 2x10 Seatpost:...Truvativ Noir Saddle:.....Selle Italia SLR Tires:........Schwalbe Rocket Ron / Racing Ralph TLR Pedals:......XT Trail Weight:.....? Build is a bit of a morph between carry over and what I had in the parts bin. Planned changes 1. Not so sure about the white fork. Will wait and see what it looks like when all is done. Might even go 120mm after this. Will add some playfulness to what will be a XC rocket. 2. Once I do fitment the 50mm stem will go. Will replace with correct length Momsen 3. Again, fitment might see the SixC bar go. To be (most likely) replaced by Momsen Up/Down bar Was nice to see frame comes frame protection and how to guide of what goes where. Not the usual stock stuff either. Sized and pre-cut already. Nice touch. Graphics have been changed slightly from pre-production "Epic" model. Looks even better now. TT graphics are more subtle with only Patrick Morewood's signature on there. Rest of the bike is a study in attention to detail. Thanks again to my LBS Cycle Factory who's building the bike with the love and care it deserves! Frame was delivered at the shop yesterday and they're doing their best to get it ride-rady in time for me to take it on leave with me this afternoon. Big up to them. My (close to) favourite little detail on the frame? Internal routing for a Stealth Dropper! Yes, I will be the guy on the XC start line with flat pedals and a dropper post on my 29er race bike!

  6. The 1x drivetrain that launched an XC World Championship, SRAM XX1 was built to be simpler, lighter and more durable than any other. Now available in black. Click here to view the article
  7. I have a damaged right hand shifter (SRAM XX Grishift) but the problem is no one can supply me with new internals. If anyone has ever opened one of these up, there is a white plastic circular shifting mech that has snapped. If there is anyone who has one that is damaged and they would like to donate or sell for a small cost, please let me know. D
  8. Making SRAM 1x even better with the simplicity of the new SRAM X-SYNC Direct Mount chain ring. Engineered in Germany, the new Direct Mount rings bring lighter weight and greater simplicity to XX1, X01 and X1-1400 cranksets. SRAM’s Direct Mount rings give riders the perfect opportunity for a serious upgrade. Click here to view the article

  13. SRAM recently released the Guide family of brakes that supercedes the Avid range of brakes. SRAM claims its been designed from the ground up to essentially address all the long standing problems that plagued Avid brakes. I recently received the RSC model to find out if SRAM has succeeded.

  14. I am in the process of replacing chain, cassette, chainring on XX1 and it is damn expensive vs XX (using XT cassette and XT Chain). Any other worth while options that I can consider to make the maintenance cost cheaper on the 1x11 setup (wolftooth, XG1180 cassette, KMC chain)? I bought the bike second hand and the parts were already worn, original owner did not change the chain, so it was unfortunately to late for just a chain swop. Can any of you XX1 riders give me a prediction on the lifespan of an XX1 cassette if I do a regular chain swap?
  15. Good day MTB enthusiasts I have noticed an increase in interest among MTBers wanting to go the 1x9/10 route. Myself and a mate have taken the iniative to do some research into manufacturing our own Narrow Wide chain rings locally to try bring the price down and make a little money in the process. Initially, we will only manufacture 104BCD 32T chain rings. These seem to be the most popular. They will be annodized to increase the hardness. The chain rings will be cut out of 7075-T6 Al which is the same aircraft grade alu used for SRAM xx1 chainrings. If all goes well we will start to introduce more variations to the market. (30T, 34T, 36T and so on...). Hopefully some SRAM versions later on as well. If sufficient interest is shown, we will go ahead with an initial order. We are trying our best to get the chain rings onto the market at under R500. Please leave a comment on this thread if you have any questions or send me a PM if you are interested.
  16. I am in a unique position in having the difficult task of choosing between the three*... Di2 is awesome when it works, but if it doesn't, you're stuffed. Perfect shifts day in, day out. It does also have a weight disadvantage. Practically maintenance free apart from charging the battery and lubing the chain. Force22 is light in comparison but settling in will occur and adjustment will be required. Cables and housings will need to be changed every so often. Edit: Athena EPS has emerged as an option now too. Middle ground between the two groupo's and is Electronic... And more importantly, it's Campy.
  17. Hi Guys Anybody know where I can buy a SRAM XLOC Full Sprint lockout? It's the one that locks both Revelation and Monarch at the same time. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Hi All, Im not sure if I should start a new topic, but the other ones have so many replies it makes it very hard to see what to do (like 150 pages of replies). In short I'm looking for a bike suitable for Enduro style riding. So far I have the following down to consider: Specialized Enduro 29" Santa Cruz Bronson C X01 spec Santa Cruz Nomad C X01 spec Pyga 140 - X01 Groupset, 160mm Pike RC3 up front, SRAM RS Guide brakes (180mm front /160mm rear) (XT group set also an option for a few grand less) Giant Trance Advanced Yeti SB66/SB95/SB75 all options - just waiting for the Yeti dealer to get me quotes Any thing else you guys know of that we can get here (Im not keen on importing, I would like to have one of my local bike shops supporting and being able to maintain the bike)
  22. Hi. At today mtb my front derailleur decided to only shift between 2 and 3rd. On the dail it shows 1st and 2nd. I noticed that the cable was loose. I titend it, but to no avail. Can somebody help me to reset it?
  23. I have realised that since Sani, my rear hub bearings are grinding and have pretty much seized. I have decided to fix this myself since I pretty much do everything else on the bike without hassle but the hubs have me stumped. Firstly, I have never done a hub bearing so I am not too sure how to go about it. Secondly, It is a Sram X9 rear hub and there is no info on it online besides an exploded view on the Sram website. I haven't been able to find any videos on YouTube, not have I found a tutorial on the interwebs. I have disassembled the hub to a point but cannot get any further. I cannot seem to remove the black nut pictured below. Can anyone give me some pointers, or better yet, a tutorial on how to remove X9 hub bearings. Thanks!
  24. I bought a set of wheels ZTR wheels with Stans hubs, big problem in the hiding was how fast cassette individual teeth destroy a alloy freehub. To slow the wear and save the freehub I have gone out and bought an XT Cassette M771 as it have 2 sets of 3 cogs mounted together and therefore spreading the single gear pressure onto three gears. My concern is will the already damaged freehub now damage the cassette as the mount that holds the three does not have the full foundation of a solid freehub, or are the 5 pivots holding it together strong enough to take the load. I think Sram Cassettes will damage a alloy freehub faster than these Shimano triple mounts
  25. I am starting to look at groupsets for a new roadbike of which frame is still undecided I have only ridden Shimano and have Ultegra at present which works perfect and I like the feel of the huds and the lever operation Was thinking of either the 9000 22 speed DA groupset or the Sram Red 2013 20 speed The DA on average seems to be in the region of 2500 rand more than the red. Never tried the Red but I like the idea of the shorter taps and trim free derailure and other features of the Red such as ajustments of levers. Looking for some feedback from guys who are using or have used both set ups as to what they would choose and mainly why they would choose or prefer the one over the other. Cheers
