cadenceblur Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 All brands fail at some point, it's how it's addressed that's ultimately important, bear this in mind. Stage max is an awesome bike and I'm not just saying so because I have one Tony datoy, Johnny Lawless, floatfox and 4 others 7
Pipsqueak Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 I know there was some chit-chat about it ages ago, but how does the internal cabling work on a metal Pyga? It looks like the cable comes out at the bottom of the seattube? Does it then run up below the BB? Next question... Can one retro drill this arrangement?

DJuice Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Any one seen the Philip Buys new bike?It is probably the white Stage.Euro Steel green perhaps. If you know, please spill the beans. johnson 1
Mambat Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 There's a guy selling a rev on that FB group mountbikers do it downhill for a good deal. I ended up buying the Revelation fork from RayJ.... Thanks for the heads up!

Edit: Found it. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/119246-post-your-pyga/page-158#entry2713391 Cool, thanks. So did you route under the BB? I see the newer bikes have cable guides UNDER the bike. Mine doesn't. I should ask Patrick if you can drill the front side of the seat-tube. I'll probably just get the silent head-shake.

If you know, please spill the beans.I Haven't seen anything yet but are curious as hell ! I Also thought they must be racing with Stage's butt no idea of colour scheme. DJuice and flowCountry 2

anthemic Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 OK so, my Stage frame theoretically lands at my door in February. Pretty well set on all the parts but have a chain line and crank question. I'm intending to run 1x11 XT gearing but not sure about cranks. Q1. With the +5 system do I need to adjust the chainring spacing on the drive side at all ( i.e with spacers etc). I know I'll need to adjust the wheel dishing but should I be lookin out for anything specific with the crankset? Q2- I'm keen on the XT cranks but I hear they only take M8000 chain rings because of the BCD. I like Oval rings ( no debate required, I just like them), is this true about the XT specificity?

cadenceblur Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Keen to hear the comments on the chain line. Didn't give it much thought on mine tbh

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkA2 - they do have a fairly specific BCD but there are quite a few manufactures that make chainrings to fit these shimano cranks. Have a look on chain reaction cycles website anthemic 1
