awesme Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 I'm sure there is, ask nicely. G When you say list price I'm thinking there must be LBS that can throw a discount?
Pipsqueak Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 No, I didn't know that the SLX is lighter. I'll check that out. Is it the black finish on the crank arms that doesn't wear well with the XT? Does it rub off or just scuff? Thanks for the heads up any way.Yes, the crank arms take a beating - your shoe heels will wear it off, but any scratches, wipe-outs will take the black off too and you'll see silver underneath. They obviously still work fine, but they just look beaten before their time.
pedal_bob Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Just a quick one guys. I'm about to order my tyres and was wondering on widths for 29" wheels. Coming from a 26" bike this will be my first 29er so I was wondering what tyre width is best. I ride with 2.1 Rocket Rons on my 26", would 2.1 be fine on the 29" wheel or should I go up to 2.25 or even 2.25 front and 2.1 rear? I ride mostly hard pack, fireroads, some loose sand and some loose rocky trails. I know this will probably be a subjective view but our trails are similar to the stuff you guys ride well except some of that slippery sticky mud in Natal lol. Edited June 4, 2013 by pedal_bob
Percyzn Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 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. Ryan and I both rode PYGA OneTen29 at Joberg2C. Both bikes went like a bomb, no problems at all. Shout out to TorqueZone for keeping them hundreds during the week. I saw about 9 PYGA's there, not sure how the other guys finished up, but these ones we spoke to during the week were loving the bikes.
Percyzn Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 After a bike fit with Velo Life, the PYGA got a slammed Ritchey WCS stem and a Selle Italia SLR.rides like a dream... Big Wheel Cycles and TopFuel 2

canadonis Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 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 bar widths are you guys mostly riding with? Is 700mm a little narrow for a 29er? Same with the stem length, I'm 6'2" and will have a size L frame. Any longer than 90mm would seem too long for this type of bike? Also, with the wide bars it may be better to go for a shorter stem (maybe 70-80mm) to speed up the steering a little. What do you guys think? Hi Bob i have one ten 29 with almost same build as u suggesting, in 2012 brake shoot out SLX won the only difference is the forged handle in xt ans a spring believe m the difference in price not worth it wont see significant difference. I have Thompson layback post with gobi Kium saddle looked at droppers but jury still out on which great dropper ..altho reverb highly regarded but will wait..and see I believe this an area biggest improvement is still to come. I too have a large and am 1,87m if that help..I'm very comfortable. I have Arch ex wheels with saguaro TNT tires..feel secure not fan of pace star..rather snakeskin as someone else suggested..u don't want spend so much on a bike and the area that connects with the ground is slightly compromised.. I went for fox fork don't know specs..I guess it's my preference for fox .. Oh yes lastly FSa bar and stem, bar I think 695mm ..personally I found it sufficient ..anything wider I found not to be comfortable. My feedback on bike is ..wow..had anthem x1 29 was very happy with that never imagined a bike being better..the pyga suspension absorbs everything and anything u will ever encounter every ride will be pure joy..morewood definitely knows his stuff..we really blessed to have the privilege of owning a Pyga..happy safe riding Nad
canadonis Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Oh btw check out the forum for slx m666 vs xt m785 brakes in tech q&a section. Here hey discuss the pros and cons of each.. Good luck with your decision , oh agree totally about not going for black crank..oh don't go for anything other than xt for the rest of the components too..xt is bomb proof..you won't regret.
