CJ Van Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Bought these bad boys yesterday. Have not tried them out on the trails yet but they are super comfy just sitting on the bike with them. Might get a little hot on long summer days but they can zip on and off!! Duane_Bosch, V12man and Yo-Yo 3

CJ Van Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Where did you find those? been looking for them lately.BMT in Stellenbosch. I asked them to order me a pair last week Thursday. They phoned me yesterday to inform me that it's there. And the best part.... This used to be the more expensive kneepads, I think around R1900 - R2000. I picked these up for R1200. Apparently Ion drop their prices on all their MTB stuff to be more competitive. Edited June 13, 2018 by CJ Van V12man, Yo-Yo and Hairy 3
Adr!@n Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Anybody here have any experience with Kore Realm rims? I'm looking at getting a wheelset built up at Rapide, but was wondering about the Kore rims compared to the Rapide ones. Both at 30mm internal width.

I'm looking at getting a wheelset built up at Rapide, but was wondering about the Kore rims compared to the Rapide ones. Both at 30mm internal width.Solid. Mate of mine is about my weight, but rides like a potato. A particularly fast potato. Rims are still as true as they were the day they were put on. On another mate of mine's bike as well. This dude riders even harder than a particularly fast potato. Still perfect. Just please, whatever you do. DO NOT SPEC ALU NIPPLES Adr!@n 1

Rigardt@Scott Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 So this just happened. I will nearly need to replace my 11spd XO cassette, and I have been back and forth about one of these 9-46t 11spd cassettes for a while, but then GX Eagle was released, and now NX Eagle making the choice a bit harder. But in the back of my mind going GX or NX from XO1 is a downgrade, even if it is Eagle (purely in my head - I know).But this conversion kit from e.thirteen looks awesome. Keep my current drivetrain, convert it to 12spd, have massive range, and all for less than GX Eagle - I'd call that a win!Gonna give the distributors a shout today to hear when it will be available in SA, and see what pricing is like (299USD).
