Post your Pyga

[zappa]

So have now done it accurately:

 

As is: Pedals, tube, bomb: 13.85 kg

Nude: No pedals (why?) or other stuff: 13.11 kg

 

So bathroom scale not too shabby!

I realize this may be a little obscure, but it pertains to Pyga builders none the less...

 

I've just been through 2 bottom brackets trying get rid of an awful creak, no matter what I did, couldn't get rid of it. swapped pedals, cranks, BBs, chainrings... nearly went mad. I rode the whole of Sani with the darn creak.

 

Then this weekend I removed my Syntace rear axle and greased it up. Problem solved. The creak was from the chain pulling on the rear axle, and a lack of lube back there. But it resonated in the frame and sounded like the BB.

 

Hope this saves someone the same tooth-gnashing.

Anyone know of any Pygas that participated in any stage races Sani2C, Joburg2C or Cape Epic etc.? Just wondering how they performed since the OneTen29 is marketed as being at home in any XC stage race.

Think RyanPMB did Joberg2C

There was a team in the Epic with OneTen29s, look on Pygas Facebook page. Then there were a few guys at Sani, one chap with a new green one that was raving about it... But then you could ride Sani on anything really. Mine doesn't have a back shock, so I guess I don't count.

Your talking about Mark Squire and GarethEdwardsSA from eNCA

Something to give the Pyga a run for its money - the new Trek Fuel EX 29 being released toward the end of this year. Now you Pyga owners can get a fix of carbon...

That link is looking amazingly allot like the Pyga's link.

Nice. I hope they did well and completed the events without issues.

When you look at their ALu frame one it looks even more like a Pyga. Even the seatpost gusset looks like it took inspiration from Pyga

There is one distinct difference.

 

The Trek has ABP ( Active Braking Pivot) which share its centre line wit the rear axle. The Pyga's rear pivot sits above the rear axle.

Um. No.

 

Trek and PYGA in the same sentence. Shame on you!

As BF says... Distinctly different. Details...
