Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Guilty as charged ROFL. Quite simple, really... Just like I'm a guy - it must look hot! I get the same request each time I make a new piece of furniture for the house - Make it Pretty... Delilah and TheV 2
splat Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Aaaah, you see these things happen when you have to wait 3-4 weeks for a frame. You get bored and start overthinking every option. That is my defence and I stand by it! Have you decided on a fork yet? What does your final build list look like? (by final, I mean at this moment. Before you change something...) Delilah 1

Delilah Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 Everyone seems to be out at the moment, I have plenty on back order. Send me the colour you want and I'll add it to the list.Thanks CarbonDual29er The Jagwire goodies have been ordered and they ship today. I wasn't really planning on using anything other than the stock Shimano cables...TheV-effect strikes again!
patches Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Aligator cable kits are also pretty awesome. I've used both, and much of a muchness. As for brake hoses though... if you want to upgrade those, tere's only 1 way to go... Goodridge!
Peewee1 Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Just out of interest, where can one purchase the black/carbon jagwire derailleur cables from in JHB? I see CWC and buycycle dont have stock.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Just out of interest, where can one purchase the black/carbon jagwire derailleur cables from in JHB? I see CWC and buycycle dont have stock. CRC. They're still in JHB, 'cos they get DHL SA (based in JHB) to deliver to your door. So it is still like buying local...
patches Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I bought my Jagwire kit from Northcliff cycles. I know FPC Paulshof also does Jagwire. Not sure on black/carbon pricing though
patches Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) CRC. They're still in JHB, 'cos they get DHL SA (based in JHB) to deliver to your door. So it is still like buying local... hahaha! well in that case, why settle for Jagwire, when you can get a Goodridge cable kit, to match to a Goodridge hose kit Edited October 1, 2012 by patches
Peewee1 Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Well CRC only have the goodridge kit, not the jagwire.
patches Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Well CRC only have the goodridge kit, not the jagwire. well then there you go! Problem solved... ride the best!
TheV Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I bought my Jagwire kit from Northcliff cycles. I know FPC Paulshof also does Jagwire. Not sure on black/carbon pricing though You should be paying around R300 for the derailleur kits, about R350 for a hose kit, and then about R+-150 for the quick-fit kits to suit your brakes.

I paid: R230 for a Jagwire derailleur kit (Northcliff)R300 for an Alligator derailleur kit Northcliff)R800 for Goodridge Hose kit (R300 hose: CRC, R500 fittings: Mikes)
Delilah Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 How much did you pay for the frame?23k from CWC but DON'T buy yours from them. It has been a nightmare. 3 weeks after payment and still no frame.
