  1. When you are slapping the saddle down almost as often as changing gears, you want to ensure that you have a sharp actuation with no hesitation or doubt in your mind that it won’t lower out of the way. The folks down at cSixx have tried and tested almost all the levers on the market, […] View full article
  2. Cape Town based component manufacturer, cSixx, has become well regarded locally and abroad for their range of performance focussed aluminium and carbon bike parts. What started with a gravity focussed carbon chain guide has expanded into an array carbon and aluminium components for mountain bike, road and gravel riders. Founder Mark Hopkins is no stranger […] View full article
  3. I'm looking for feedback on peoples experiences with the various brands of MTB tyre inserts such as Csixx Foamo, Vittoria Airliner, CushCore etc! I'm looking for feedback mainly on the added rim protection especially the cost vs benefit as some inserts cost more than a tyre, as well as how it adjusted the feel of the ride! I'm planning on using the inserts for Enduro riding!
  4. **This is NOT a "to Oval or not to Oval" thread so please let's not let it get back to that age old debate** ***This is ALSO NOT a "what size oval compares to my round" thread so please let's avoid this also*** My question pertains more specifically to any experience with the different brands of Oval Chain Rings. I've done some research and it seems as though they differ quite significantly between suppliers, although its questionable as to whether the differentiation is noticeable, better or worse on the trails. Also interesting that reviewers have tested most, if not all, but there's no comparisons to be found anywhere. I normally ride a 34T Round and have not been unhappy with this. Most of my mates ride Oval although some tried and went back to Round. I had a loan crank whilst mine was being warrantied by the manufacturer and this had a 32T oval (CSIXX) chain ring. I rode it on two decent rides and could not feel any difference in the pedal stroke but I definitely felt less fatigued at the top of climbs that I've done enough times to know my standard. The smaller chainring is irrelevant as I was riding smaller sprocket to compensate and managing same / usual speed. Coming back to my Round, I'm pretty sure that the Oval definitely has some benefit for me. So I've decided that I'm going to try one out (34T) but I've been researching and found very different Ovality and Clocking : Ovality - the percentage above and below a normal round ring. So 10% ovality means that the oval diameter ranges from 95% to 105% of the equivalent Round Ring. This seems to range from 8% to 14%. The higher this is, the more non-round the chain ring. Clocking - "describes the angle between the crank arm and the largest diameter of the oval, measure anti-clockwise from the crank arm". This seems to range from 112.5 degrees to 115 degrees. This affects where on the pedal stroke the maximum / minimum will be. What I've found from different suppliers : Absolute Block (seems the most oval / aggressive) - Ovality between 10.2 & 14.4%, with timing of 110.5-116.3Wolf Tooth - Ovality 10% / clocking 112 degrees [one reviewers comment "Smoother feel than other oval rings we have tried"]Race Face - Ovality 10% / clocking 112.5 degreesCSIXX - Ovality 14% / clocking 115 degreesROTOR - Ovality 12.5% / no clocking infoOne Up - Ovality 12% / clocking 115 degrees [32T & Smaller]One Up - Ovality 10.5% / clocking 115 degrees [34T & 36T]HOPE - Ovality 12% / clocking 113 degrees [Added thanks Ossie NL]SRAM - Ovality 12% / no clocking info [Added] I'm personally thinking to stick with something less aggressive, like the Race Face but any thoughts from anyone who has more insight / experience with the different rings would be greatly appreciated. If you're going to comment, please substantiate your reasoning / thoughts. Please no "yo man you have to go with absolute black because they're a cool brand.!"
  5. cSixx is branching out from MTB components to include products for the cyclocross and road scenes. They need your help to choose what they should make next! Within the next few weeks, we will see some top-end road wheelsets being launched along with a range of larger 1x chainrings for cyclocross, gravel, and single ring road riders. Although it's not a full range of components just yet, cSixx promise that there will be more to come. What would you like to see next from this local manufacturer? Let us know by completing the checklist here and we'll pass it on to the cSixx design team. Click here to view the article
  6. We have combined our 16 years of chainguide manufacture experience with input from top riders such as Julian Absalon, Christoph Sauser, and the late Burry Stander to produce this no expense spared chainguide. Click here to view the article
  7. The clever guys at cSixx have recognised a need in the marketplace for a lightweight, well priced and easy to fit chain guide, aimed at the single chain ring market. For those already running Narrow Wide, think of it as a little added security for your 1x setup, and if you are a trail / #enduro rider this should really be a standard upgrade on your bike! I would even encourage the XCO racers to also consider the guide, as a dropped chain on a lap race could mean the difference between a win or a lose, even if you're just competing to beat your riding buddies.
