V12man Posted January 25, 2018 Share Anyone know who stocks or has a set of SRAM Code R or RS brakes? https://www.sram.com/sram/mountain/products/code-r#sm.0001v2fy121d67daxtngcd4vgxix6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piston ZA Posted January 25, 2018 Share We have the DBX 3.0 all mountain on special for R1695 in Green or Orange colourways if you're looking for a great lid at a sweet price. https://ridewithzeal.co.za/collections/helmets 2018 Red and Lime colourways also getting loaded this week @ R2145Mmmm, the orange DBX 3.0 is very tempting! Do you have any idea if and when you will be getting the DBX 2.0s in? BaltazarMarques 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavo Posted January 25, 2018 Share In line with the interest in Codes, has anyone looked at getting Guide RE's? Not sure of availability locally but they appear to be a great middle ground between the Guides and Codes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bob Posted January 25, 2018 Share Pity. Feels somewhat risky to bring SRAM brakes in from overseas given their earlier issues with the lever...decisions, decisions Always been my thing about the guides. The reviews are constantly 'great, great, only had to send them back twice, great, great...' and they come put high marks. Huh? I've never sent any brakes back and loads of people have issues with the guides. Maybe better to go with some local Hopes E3 V4's for R5690 from Bike Addict (with yummy braided hoses) rather than local CWC codes.

My current Guide RS fall into the group of sent back twice. They're great brakes...when they work and are fitted to a bike! Been eyeing the Hopes for a very long time now, such a sick looking piece of equipment! Duane_Bosch and T-Bob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted January 25, 2018 Share Forgot to say that I rather like this modern moonbag... I could definitely strap that one on and not feel like too much of a d#$k :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane_Bosch Posted January 25, 2018 Share Been eyeing the Hopes for a very long time now, such a sick looking piece of equipment!Just be aware. The guy who works on my bikes hates them. He says they are hard to work on and seals are hard to get hold of. Which is why I buy a set of seals every time I am in Euro. They are heavy (if that is a consideration for you) But the 3 sets I've had have all been amazing. And there's a reason all the park rats in Morzine who pay for their own brakes run Hope.

Capricorn Posted January 25, 2018 Share Wish I knew! I took that from the Push Industries page. Quite a few side by side comparisons on the new SBG stuff and the old geo. clearly got ahead of myself there T-Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or G it out with Gwinn's Signature TRP's Quadiem G-Spec on special (25% off, £138) at CRC making it a tempting price. Personally I keep looking at those Hope and getting a twitchy finger until I rememeber my Cura's are bloody brilliant and are about half price.
