capedutch Posted September 12, 2012 Share I have the exact bike! The best bike ever. I will never ride anything else again. Just remember to build it up with triple crank, you will thank me later. Don't mind the weight of the extra blade! Delilah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delilah Posted September 12, 2012 Share try before you buy at the LBS if possible, i have no experience myself.Will try, but doubt our small LBSs will have choice of cranks to try. Might drive through to JHB over weekend. Thanks for the advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooo glad you went for the Reba and not the SID. SO much better value, and IMHO better performance. BTW - heavily jealous! And remember - it needs a Dropper Post!

Delilah Posted September 12, 2012 Share Here is a cool link to help out, granted its for roadies but still, http://www.machinehe...calculator.html Cool calculator, thanks! According to this I should be on 165mm cranks. Awesome. Sooo glad you went for the Reba and not the SID. SO much better value, and IMHO better performance. BTW - heavily jealous! And remember - it needs a Dropper Post! Hey Mr Mayhem. Haven't ordered the 2013 Reba yet 'cause no retailer in SA has them yet As for a dropper, let me get used to the duallie first! Also, the finances will need some recovery time after this build! mikeMT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ysterperd Posted September 12, 2012 Share Nice. Worhwhile investing in having it covered in plastic film before you start your build. Bit pricey, I had mine done and 3 years later dont regret it, protects the frame, they normally specialize in doing the higher end sportcar market. Enjoy Delilah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks HandH! The build will be well documented, with frequent questions, since this is the first bike I haven't bough off-the-shelf as it were. Nice. Worhwhile investing in having it covered in plastic film before you start your build.

Schweet! And when they do come out, try the international retailers first. For obvious reasons... Some international online retailers already have some of the 2013 Rockshox models, but either prices have gone up for 2013 or the UK guys are more expensive on forks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
