V18 Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 K. Right. I bought the onyx rear hub after perving over it for the last 3years. Imported via fanatikbike. For those that don't know yet. Onyx (racing products) hub is a sprag clutch hub. Near instant (imperceptibly quick) engagement. Lowest of low resistance and most importantly for me... Dead ass quiet. First proper ride this am laced on some dartmoor thunder rims with my usual Goodyear tyres. Bike essentially transformed. The engagement also doesn't feel metal on metal as with a pawl/star ratchet hub. It's softer than a clunk but in a good way. The most mind blowing for me was riding some lekker rocky sections on conties this am and hearing nothing but tyre/soil/suspension work.This is a part that I don't see myself moving on from soon. Spoilt rotten by myself. Pieter1 and SilverRider 2

V18 Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 Was on "sale" but the single rear hub still put me back 250usd... So 4.5k. I got over the price after the first ride. The silence is something to experience. Grease_Monkey 1

Wayne pudding Mol Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 After trying one on my gravel bike I'm a huge fan of the new Farr saddles so the Pyga got one - and I received a free gift! Andrew_Smith, Long Wheel Base, BigDL and 2 others 5

Wannabe Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 One of my colleagues has one, she's very happy. Been driving it for about a year now, no issues! Hope you have many happy miles! Good to hear. Looks like great value for money, lots of standard equipment that is extra's with the other manufacturers. I trust that we will be happy, did a lot of searching, very little problems reported with them. Best of all, it is up to 100K cheaper than comparable models of other manufacturers.

patham Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 Before and after pics - groupset, brakes, tyre and pedal revamp on my Trance 1 after 5 good years of service. Add in a full frame and suspension strip and service it feels as crisp like new. Looking forward to the first trail. PhilipV, Darko, Long Wheel Base and 6 others 9
