Meezo Posted May 22, 2013 Author Posted May 22, 2013 Been away a few days, come back and everything is missing / messed up. what happened? was it the Tornado? Some say TNT1 exploded... And that he took 60% of thehubsa down with him. All we know is, we back up and running (riding) T-Bob 1
dillon Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 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
rouxtjie Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) 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 Meezo, John_Meyer, kevin Walter and 2 others 5
Meezo Posted May 23, 2013 Author Posted May 23, 2013 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
LOOK695 Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 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. tinei n and Meezo 2

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! LOOK695 1

All we know is, we back up and running (riding) What happened to all the info in the 'most useful thread on the hub in years' aka this one. that is too much good knowlegde to have just disappeared.
Meezo Posted May 23, 2013 Author Posted May 23, 2013 We'll have to add and build on it. I'll start.Flyxii responded on a general weight limit on their frames and wheels 100kgs. Still awaiting on dengfu and hongfu
