    So, the stars seem to be aligning for me to take a trip to the US next year for work and I want to try and come home via Whistler. It's a lot cheaper getting to Canada from the States than from SA. My question, though, is whether my Hyrax will be up to the task. I particularly want to be able to ride A Line, since there's no way I'd go there and not try it. I have my Hyrax set up with 160mm travel on a DVO Diamond fork and I'll be getting an X Fusion coil shock on the rear for 140mm travel. I'm just wondering if that is enough suspension? Can anyone who has been there weigh in and give advice?

    Hi Hubbers I recently took on a (fun) personal project of finding an alternative to the commercially available cover plates used to cover up the frame mounting space left when removing the high direct mount front derailleur for a 1x conversion. After searching the interwebs I cottoned onto a 3D printed plate through options and ideas from Shapeways and the MTBR forums. Shipping for the Shapeways product made it unreasonably expensive for what it is ($6 for the plastic plate, $20 for shipping), so I contacted a few 3D printing companies in Cape Town to see if someone could help me out. And success! I managed to find someone! Following a bit of trial and error with my design I ended up with a plate that I am pretty stoked with!! I have customised it for my Pyga and I think it looks pretty rad! The finish of a 3D print is not the smoothest, but it's hardly noticeable when viewed from a short distance. Best part is it cost a fraction of anything else out there, amped Thoughts on the outcome are welcome and I'm happy to try help anyone out who would be interested in doing the same for their 1x conversion. By this I mean I can either share my 3D file with you (if you can access a 3D printer) or look at getting plates printed through my own source (limited to black or white) and then take it from there. I assume the design would be a universal fit, but have only managed to test it out on the Pyga frame so far. Given that it is also a very recent addition to my bike I have no idea of durability of the part and how it will stand up to the elements (it's made from ABS plastic) but will post future updates here. Fingers crossed it will have some longevity! Overall though I think the project was a success, win!

    Pyga Bikes have managed to capture the imagination of many local mountain bikers. Look no further than the Post your Pyga topic for evidence of this. With it's promises of burley performance and all day comfort, the OneForty650 Pascoe is a crowd favourite. Click here to view the article

    So I've been wondering if you could buy your dream SA built bike, but being realistic in terms of price.... Titan Racing Pyga Signal Momsen Silverback - Thanks for the suggestions Mecer - Thanks for the suggestions What would it be? Mine would be the PYGA Stage Max GX set. Which has a great all round setup, great 130mm for a good pop, it allows for relative "easy" climbs, great session down the trails and can also be used in some marathon events even. Would be really interested to hear what other hubbers think or WISH. Cheers

    Hi was just wondering what size tyres pyga stage owners have been able to fit on their frames. I know spec sheet states 2.35. Im running 2.25's at the moment and it looks like there is alot of room left in the rear. Would like to try 2.4 if thats possible. However i know all tyres are different..

    Review: Pyga Stage

    Matt posted a topic in New Gear

    In April 2015, we huddled excitedly around a mysterious cloaked bike from Pyga Industries. We knew that under the black cloth sat an all new carbon marathon machine. As the craft beers flowed speculation grew wilder and the stories taller until Patrick Morewood unveiled the Pyga Stage to us, and the world. Click here to view the article

    Philip Buys and Matthys Beukes form the “African MTB team” PYGA Euro Steel. Previously teammates riding as Scott LCB Factory Racing, 2017 sees them with new sponsors, and of course new bikes. The pair have a solid track record riding together, and have their eyes firmly on the Absa African jersey at this year’s Cape Epic, as well as on an overall podium spot. We caught up with them to check in on their race preparation, find out more about their plans for 2017, and of course their new bikes. Click here to view the article

    The Pyga Stage Max is the bigger brother of the Stage marathon/ cross-country bike. With the Stage already adding some spice to the race bike category, we were keen to put the Stage Max to the test to see what it has up its sleeve. Click here to view the article

    Some say that being a mechanic at the Absa Cape Epic is almost as tough as riding the race itself. Louis-Bresler Knipe did both this year and, with his partner Francois Theron, still finished in 41st place overall. Click here to view the article

    I promised a while ago that I'd write a full review of the PYGA OneTen29, having given my first thoughts here. What follows are my opinions after about 150km of varied riding. Click here to view the article

    Let me preface this article by saying that I am not a pro, or an expert. I do not know the technical details or have any inside scoops. Also, I am not sponsored by, or affiliated to PYGA in any way, and I'm not getting paid to write this review. I do, however, love riding and enjoy writing, and this is merely an average guy's opinion and experience with the Pyga 110 29er. Click here to view the article

    In late April PYGA INDUSTRIES announced the launch of their first carbon fibre, full suspension marathon bike at the opening of their new Cape Town offices. Dubbed the Stage, the 29" bike is designed as an out and out race machine, with Pyga’s signature twist on geometry. Click here to view the article

    The Pyga Stage MX is the company’s entry into the world of full carbon 29er cross-country / marathon bikes. The Stage MX, though, challenges conventional frame design and cross-country / marathon oriented geometry. Starting with a clean slate they haven't gone for any new crazy suspension designs. Instead sticking to their tried and tested platform with some slight kinematic changes to better suit race performance. What they have done is focus on the fundamentals of frame design. The result? Some seemingly subtle, yet potentially revolutionary tweaks. Click here to view the article

    We were excited to see that the local industry is slowly recognising the demand for longer travel bicycles at the Africa Cycle Fair this year. Along with the increase in trail bikes on display, fair visitors voted for the Pyga Oneforty650 as their Best Bike in Africa, despite an impressive selection of cross-country bikes. We've put together a collection of our favourite trail travel bikes from the fair. Click here to view the article

    The Ninetyfive29c Stage has been the cause of much anticipation amongst Pyga fans. The company's first carbon dual suspension bike is designed for cross-country and marathon racing but with a twist. The frame features a slacker head angle, longer top tube and is designed for use with a shorter stem than most XC bikes on the market. For further insight on the development and future of the Ninteyfive29c Stage, watch our interview with Pyga co-founder, Patrick Morewood. Click here to view the article

    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)

    Pyga are great looking bikes at the best of times .... but just look at what happens when you add a touch of performance enhancing bling. Here is Scott Soothill's Pyga (thanks for the pictures) after he made a few purchases of FUNN components from www.performancebikes.co.za

    Hey guys, I'm riding a Cannondale Scalpel 3 (alloy frame) 29er lefty that I have had since last year August, so not even a year old. In that time I have bent (beyond any truing) four wheels. Three of the wheels were WTB ST i19 wheels and the most recent was an Alex Rims EVO 2.0. It has always been the front wheel that has been bending. I am around 80kg (176 lbs) but have been as light as 75kg (165 lbs) when I bent the first one. I know the wheels have been built properly, three different mechanics have built them so it can't be their error. It is also not while I am hitting any big jumps or anything, I know I dont have enough travel for that, one of them was a big crash where I wouldn't be surprised that it buckled but the most recent was going through a switchback, quite slowly too. I check spoke tension and pressure before I read EVERY time, because of the recurring issue. I also know the shocks are set correctly for my weight. Does anyone have any idea why I might be bending these wheels? Am I too heavy for the lefty shock? I am seriously considering selling my bike and replacing it with something like the Lapierre Spicy 327 or the PYGA OneTwenty 650B. (Around the R35000 mark (approx $3100)). Any advice or suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks!
