Wayne pudding Mol Posted December 8, 2020 Share Guys that have done the conversation from Stage to Stage Max, how many of money did it set you back?I thought the only difference was the fork? Purely observed when comparing my stage to my mates max same rear RCT3 and same frame But I'm the least bike technical person in the world Markellis and Cunning-Stunt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning-Stunt Posted December 8, 2020 Share I thought the only difference was the fork? Purely observed when comparing my stage to my mates max same rear RCT3 and same frame But I'm the least bike technical person in the world Agreed! It is exactly the same frame, and the same Rockshox Monarch RT3 184x44mm rear shock.The only difference is the front fork travel. So if you are a wheeler dealer on the hub it may cost you nothing??

awesme Posted December 8, 2020 Share The shock is different and there is a offset attachment/bush. The Stage has 95mm travel, the Max has 120mm travel. the frame is the same. G Agreed!

dexterdent Posted December 8, 2020 Share Guys that have done the conversation from Stage to Stage Max, how many of money did it set you back? Mine was done in 2019 and I found the invoice. Costs were: 2nd hand Pike for ~R6.5k (bikehub)2nd hand Monarch RT3 184x44 for R3.5k (stoke, basically brand new)Full rebuild of Pike for ~R1350 (stoke)Major Service for DS ~R750 (stoke)Sundries for like R100 i'm pretty sure they just used some existing line items to account for what the true work was. This included them sending the frame to Pyga and back to get a stuck bolt out (can't remember which one) but I'm not sure if that was stoke or Pyga being awesome by not charging for it (probably both). I honestly couldn't believe it was this cheap. Tatt and Markellis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darko Posted December 14, 2020 Share Evening gents. I currently have a OneTen with some old Trek / Bontranger wheels that are giving me more hassle than they are worth. So I would like to get a nicer wheelset thats a bit more future proof. Can I get some advice on these sets? In terms of if it's a bargain, and will they work for my planned 1x11 Shimano XT upgrade? https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/mountain-bike-wheels/444999/wtb-29-tubliss-wheels-with-sram-hubs Would I need to change the hubs for the Shimano? Or would these be a better buy, even though they're more expensive? https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/mountain-bike-wheels/441972/specialized-stout-boost-wheelset-brand-new Edited December 14, 2020 by Darko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne pudding Mol Posted December 15, 2020 Share These are similar pretty basic wheels but the second set are boost so won’t work for you and I don’t think the hubs would either Have a look at rapide who have decent good value wheels Darko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markellis Posted December 17, 2020 Share I’ve decided to go the Stage Max route. looking for some recommendations for a fork. R10-15k budget. Do I go 120? I’ve only ever ridden Rockshox so looking to try something new. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
