    Hi Bike Hut Community I imported my ebike from the UK when we came back permanently last month but was not allowed to ship my battery. I though SA being the mountain bike paradise, I would be able to replace my battery quite easily, I was wrong :( Nothing available on the internet and my two local bike shops were not able to help me as well. Would anyone be able to steer me in the right direction, i'm desperate to find any of these Shimano batteries... BT-EN805-L BT-EN805 BT-EN806 Thank you in advance, and fingers crossed that someone would be able to help me

    Hi All, I am trying to source a new groupset (SRAM or Shimano (disc)) for a road bike. Due to supply issues, there is absolutely no stock in SA. Has anyone recently purchased a groupset and if so, where did you find stock (and how did you bring it to SA).

    I just bought a new bike, without wheels, and want to use my old Shimano RS10 wheelset on the bike. Campagnolo groupo means new freebody, and being 11spd would have meant a new Shimano freebody - either way, it's now about which works out cheaper. QUestion is, where can I find a freebody for a Campagnolo cassette with the flower type formation of a Shimano freebody, which is 11spd compatible?

    So so sad, my SOMA Double Cross Disc, was stolen last night. Please keep an eye out for me. It is an unusual bike in that it is a steel framed road bike with disk brakes. It is probably the only SOMA Double Cross in Cape Town? Here are the details: Colour: black Material: Steel Tange Prestige Drivetrain: Shimano Dura Ace Seatpost & stem: Silver Thompson Wheels: Mavic Open Pro rims , Shimano XT hubs, 32cm Continental Gatorskin tyres Saddle: San Marco Rolls. Brakes: Shimano discs Handle bar: Silver Mtb Nickle Wide It was a break-in stolen from a home in Rosebank Cape Town. I will pay a generous reward to anyone who finds this bike for me. Thanks David Malan 084 6893114

    Hi all I want to upgrade my bike from mech to hydraulic brakes. My budget is limited to about R1500. Which brakes should I buy? I’m not too concerned about ease of installation. I just want reliability and serviceability to be hassle free. I’ve looked at brakes such as Tektro and Shimano mt200, but I don’t know where to buy them. Thank you

    I have an Avalanche Pro Reflex 29er (entry level but I'm loving her!) MTB; after maybe 250km of riding the gear changes start to need to be 'feathered' to ensure no slipping of gears. Will a newer, upgraded cable prevent this? https://www.avalanchebikes.co.za/products/avalanche-reflex-29-pro-black-red?colours=black%20%2F%20red&sizes=s Thanks for your help.

    New patent suggests Shimano is designing a fully wireless groupset Both of Shimano's patents were submitted on 20 February but US-20240092456-A1 was published first on 21 March and contains pictures showing a rear derailleur with a cuboid device housed within.

    I've been running Ryder clip in pedals for about 18 months and they've been great. I started getting a painful footsole about a month ago on the right foot, and lo and behold the left pedal cleat clip in broke yesterday (see pic). So I'm looking at a new set of Shimano SPDs, will the caged pedal (pics attached) provide better foot support to prevent the pain underfoot or are the actual shoes packing up (Ryders also 18 months old)? @ChrisF @RobertWhitehead you blokes seem very knowledgeable 👍🏼👍🏼

    I'm a bit in a pickle, if you know me from my previous post then this is related to that. i am looking for 2 new quick release hubs with 32 hole spoke count, HD free wheel and preferably 4 or 6 pawls. I'm not sure where i can get it and what to get, is there anything i should look out for? anything to avoid etc. Its going on a TITANRACING Rogue Sport 2023 and weight is the least of my concerns i do mostly xc singletrack and flow trails and must disk rotor compatibility, i am on a lower budget of around 2500 for both hubs< can go a bit higher but then itt starts to eat in my rim budget. 6 bolt rotors

    Advice on replacing my AVALANCHE Ltwoo AX 1x12 MTB chain - they reckon Shimano is a good option, but there are several different options. Which would be the most suitable?

    Hi, guys. I thought I 'd share what I've done to my cheap bike to make it ride better. It started its life as a shimano tourney 3×7 drivetrain with the worst tyres ever. The shifts were so violent that I often slipped off the pedals. And the tyres started ripping from the side. I got a lot of wrist pain from the unresposive fork, but the esi grips took that away and gave me too much confidence🤣 I had to buy a rear wheel with a HG freehub, since the previous wheel was only compatible with freewheels. Not to mention the fact that the axle had to be replaced like 3 times due to snapping. Yes I abused the bike a lot. I used to be a student at NWU in Potchefstroom and I liked riding like a hooligan😅 Used it for all my transport needs. The new rear wheel has proven to be reliable and still true, albeit some unknown Chinese brand naned Shunfeng🤣. I had to upgrade the mech brakes and drivetrain simultaneously because the brake lever and shifter were one piece. I had to buy a basic bike toolkit first and learn from youtube how to install a drivetrain. So I bought a 1×10 shimano deore from the previous gen with the onboard derailleur hanger. But the cassette was too large for the derailleur to accommodate so a long screw had to be used to make it work. Which lived bending. Not to mention the chain moving to a smaller gear from the biggest when back pedaling. I took the single chainring crankset off and installed an overkill shimano slx crankset. Which made it pop. But I didnt want such a great cimponent to not enjoy its full potential. Eventually sold the slx and bought a 1×11 sram nx groupset. Which has been great so far. I love the locking mechanism on the derailleur. And it shifts much better. There are more upgrades needed when funds becime available. I'll update when that happens. Any suggestions?

    I would like to convert my Giant Talon 3 2019 to a 1x System. It currently has a 3x8 with the following specs: https://99spokes.com/en/bikes/giant/2019/talon-3 I have sourced the following parts locally and want to know if these would all fit on my Talon. I know the Talon doesnt come with a microspline hub hence the choice of a 11 speed cassette. However I would like to use all the other 12 parts where possible. Any assistance with the upgrade would be appreciated.

    I have decided I want to also run a 200mm rotor on the rear of my Enduro bike, I'm currently using Sram Code RSC brakes. When looking at the price of rotors, Shimano and TRP are similar in price however Sram is about 50% more than the aforementioned brands, are the Sram rotors worth the extra cash? Do they perform better/last longer? Alternatively is there another brand I should look at?

    I'm looking about the best value brakes that aren't going to break the bank for my sons ride. I upgraded the mechanical ones on this RipRock Plus bike about a year ago with a old set of Formula C1's that I had in the shed. Recently the rear one's lever / cylinder died out and the guys at the Bike Park managed to resurrected it for about a month but now it's just flapping and gone to Jesus. I've been looking for another set of C1's but good ones are like hens teeth which is a shame as the lever is a great size for small hands and you could get them pretty reasonably. So any ideas what is a good replacement? Anyone seen any specials? What have you upgraded with? Or even if you have something in the spare bin that might wrk then give me a shout! Cheers guys.

    Since it's almost Friday I'll just leave these articles/videos here. Article mixing various Shimano/SRAM components: https://www.bebikes.com/the-hub/1mmtdv5ypu0vc1p4kze6r05wtxvufp This guy literally just swapped out his SRAM RD for a Shimano one - using a SRAM shifter.
