sias Posted January 10, 2013 Share I lost my thru-axle for my 29" Fox front shock and asked my LSB to order a new one, thinking it shouldn't be more than maybe R200 at worst. Get a chair and sit down and I'll tell you what that piece of pipe with a thread at the one end costs... R1000.00!! I nearly fell on my back! Is this really what it costs? Can someone please advise if this is the real price? Surely it can't be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruz Addict Posted January 10, 2013 Share That's about right, I had to replace my talas 20mm axel, it's a 2009 so not the one with the quick release skewer thingy, just a stock standard Alan key, was quoted R800 last year jan, after shopping around at every place I could find online etc I couldn't get one for less than R650 from a site in the US.Sorry to say a K doesn't sound outrageous no.

EVOBIKES ONLINE STORE Posted January 10, 2013 Share Fox not really renowned for "good value". New 2013 forks RRP are all close to and above R10k each... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 10, 2013 Share RS 20mm TA ting is approx R 600. So not that surprizing. More reason to go RS over fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted January 10, 2013 Share Sias, how on earth did you lose a thing like that? It's either on the bike holding the wheel or on the bike stored in the fork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M L Posted January 10, 2013 Share That little plastic thing inside a rockshox to extend/reduce the travel is also like R250. Glad I have a spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassie Posted January 10, 2013 Share Jip....R1000 When I bought my new bike the LBS told me when we took the front wheel off to put in back of my bakkie...ALWAYS screw the axle back in...if yuo loose it...a new one costs R1000!!! That was back in Oct 2012...glad to see the price hasn't gone up in 2013 {sarcasm off...} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted January 10, 2013 Share Exactly why I always put the axle back in the Lyrik when I take the wheel out. Even if its just to load the bike in the car for a 10km trip to the Spruit. Another ripper is a 135x12mm rear Maxle Lite. R800! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sias Posted January 11, 2013 Share Sias, how on earth did you lose a thing like that? It's either on the bike holding the wheel or on the bike stored in the fork. I know!! It was during the Desert Dash when the bike was loaded on more than one car and things were hectic and I was not always on my best... Lesson learnt...

HowellingWulf Posted January 11, 2013 Share Was looking at getting a Maxle kit for my Niner's rear wheel. Turns out to be 89 USD's - imported it will cost well in excess of 1000 ZAR's so it is not only the Fox parts...
