niterider Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 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... You smoking something? Ryanpmb 1
Ryanpmb Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 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.Recently completed joBerg2c with Percyzn. Bikes, no issues. Bodies, different story
flyguysa Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Rode Sani2C on my ZeroTen, no problems, just needed a complete rebuild after 2 days of mud....Saw two or three OneTens as well. Edited May 30, 2013 by flyguysa
pedal_bob Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 I'm hoping to come down to SA to try the Joberg2C or Cape Epic in 2015. I guess the Cape Epic is much more intense, well it seems it on youtube lol. Just need to get some serious training in oh and get my Pyga built
arendoog Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Saw some seriously good looking pygas at hatfield cycles.ready to ride .The green metallic and campari colour looking frames .All sizes

awesme Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 I bought my frame through Hatfield, Major impressed with the friendliness and wanting to provide service, be helpful. (and this was after having to drive 100km to get to them). G Green - OneTen 29rCampari - OneTwenty 650B
spyster Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 +1 on comments re Hatfield. Ask for Alf. He built a frame up so that I could see if I was comfortable and happy with the setup before buying the frame. He was also more than happy to advise me onparts, sizes etc as I was sourcing some of the parts on the hub, second hand, sales etc. Can really recommend them!
pedal_bob Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 I'd appreciate if you guys could look through my parts to build up the OneTen29 before I place my orders in case I've missed something or spec'ed it incorrectly.

What do you guys think?

CAAD4 Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Surely the Hope hubs will last muuuch longer that the DT Suisse....
imagedee Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 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.Yip, I replaced a BB within 3months of owning it! Guys at LBS drilled a small hole in the underside of the frame bb housing for any water to drain. Also found that cable which passes alongside crank rubs on frame and causes a squeak.will definitely keep the axle greased!

I like the Hope hub's. GMy reasoning for the SLX brakes was that there is very minimal weight saving with the XT for a 40% price increase. The SLX have the Icetech too I believe but I'll have another look at that. I haven't come across thos ESI grip but will check them out.30.9mm seatpost. I run 70mm stem with 700mm bars - this after a bike fit. Thanks ryan. On second thoughts, I think I'll go for a longer (740mm or so) bar so I have the option of cutting it back to the most suitable length.
