dillon Posted May 23, 2013 Share Correct me if I am wrong: To build a hardtail mountain bike all Carbon with decent components should cost around R30K -R35K and full suspension about R35K - R40K Hardtail weighing in at +-9kgs and full suspension +-10.5kgs Tiago74 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouxtjie Posted May 23, 2013 Share Correct me if I am wrong: To build a hardtail mountain bike all Carbon with decent components should cost around R30K -R35K and full suspension about R35K - R40K Hardtail weighing in at +-9kgs and full suspension +-10.5kgsLess than than that Lets look at how Frame: 7000 for booth incl post and bars and headsetFork: Reba special at cwc: 3500Groupset: XT special at cwc: 6750Wheels(4000) + tyres(1000): 5000 https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/49248-ztr-crest-29er-wheelset-new-free-tyres/Odds and ends(pedals, grips, cables): 1000 Grand total: 23350...lets round it up to 24000 just to build in a little fat for something here and there Sure you can shoot the lights out with XTR groupo or fancier wheels or components. But I reckon this is the best price point vs value vs weight choice Edited May 23, 2013 by rouxtjie John_Meyer, Denny Menchov, Meezo and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meezo Posted May 23, 2013 Share The FR202 builds above : 1. Full SLX 2x10, Fox F32 29 Fork, Fulcrum Red Metal SL wheelset, Ritchey seatpost and stem, bontrager Handlebar = R16000(rounded, was just under) 2. Full XT 2x10, SID 2013 w/r, XT Wheelset, Ritchey handlebar stem and seatpost = R21000(rounded) Like rouxtjie states if you want to get XX or XTR it will bump the price up.... both owners extremely happy with their builds Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOOK695 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Hmmm.....I have been qouted 504-40 dollars for 2 rims incl shipping costs. That is about the same price as a complete wheelset that Meezo imported. Factor in your spokes, hubs and wheelbuild and you are looking at a different price range, but then you have a costume build wheelset according to your requirements and taste.

Its not gonna be the cheapest option, no. Build like you said ed zakery how you want it. Contemplating doing this for a mtb wheelset!
