Reme Le Hane Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 awesome thanks a lot. bought the lever at a shop so missed that. i like as little as possible clutter so ordering this nowI got one, had some school fees attached. After tryna install it I went to Johnty "I ****** up, please fix" pulled the cable out the housing and coulr not get the housing out to fix it. Turns out I needed to remove the bb, which I lack the tools for. [emoji23] Jackal355 1

Coolspin Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 Got some bibs from Mr Price sport, (was a bday gift from my daughter)Can't believe how good the quality is for the price, have gone through a bunch of bibs over the years and the quality of these is easily comparable.My awesome wife got me another pair today for using on the day to day rides, a no brainer. R399.00 Twaatie, Andrew_Smith, WrightJnr and 2 others 5

Coolspin Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 Please check in again after a month or so as I would really be keen to know how they wear !Sure thing, had some sportful and some pearl izumi that actually havent lasted that well, maybe im too harsh on the gear, just toss it in with regular laundry, dont dry it in the sun, but at R1k to 2k plus am glad have found a cheaper alternative for day to day rides.

How long are you spending in the saddle per ride?Im in to the longer stuff so I need bibs that can save my delicate ass on long rides.
Coolspin Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 Sounds good. How long are you spending in the saddle per ride?Im in to the longer stuff so I need bibs that can save my delicate ass on long rides.Normally 1.5 to 2 hrs, I reckon they are comparable to mid price range bibs, unlikely to compare favourably with top end stuff.I have a pair of Endura fs260 pro if I go for longer rides but I will prob end up with a sore butt regardless.

Mongoose! Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 This was needed to complete my gravel / CX build bike. Only Cannondale will know why their CAADX frame has a flat mount brake on frame but post mount fork??... lolOrdered from Canada and took 2 weeks with Aramex global shopper ( excellent service). After ordering it I came across a hubber who has a contact for making it locally... at a third of the price I paid. But at least this one is cnc made and works perfectly. KingZA, Wannabe and Andrew_Smith 3

And could you maybe PM name of the hubber that makes it locally to me? I currently have my wife's post mount calliper on my bike which means her bike has some cheapy on it - so I need to return hers soon.
