Gear for Enduro 2.0

[Nofearnofun]

Have they fixed the issues on the enduro of the chin bar catch breaking? Unfortunately Leatt haven't been great on the customer service on this issue. 

 

Customer service problems? Leatt? No ways! Is this first hand?

Hey guys 

 

I'm building up a Trance. Thinking of importing a wheelset with some other stuff.

I thought of going with Flow S1's until I saw the Nukeproof set. Anybody own any of these wheelsets/rims? Any advice on what you'd choose?

Flows are like the Pike of wheels. Touted as the best when really they're just the most popular. 

There's are plenty of good alternatives. Considering the price difference and my personal inclination to divert from what everyone else is doing. I'd probably go Neutron. Great reviews too (save for the soft freebody)

Why not just get local wheels from Rapide (https://www.rapide.co.za/product/rapide-tr27-30-trailracer-wheelset/) or Lyne Components (https://www.on-lynecomponents.com/collections/wheels/products/amp-30-alloy-wheelset-27-5)

 

They will cost around the same when you add the cost of shipping from CRC (40GBP I think) and if you get local at least you know you have support if something goes pear shape.

 

Also look at this thread with recent CRC experience and additional costs to look out for https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/175651-experience-with-crcs-move-from-dhl-to-skynet/

Nukeproof wheels are good wheels. Used to be the same as sun ringle, not sure if it still is, but still a good product.

 

Also look at some local options, rapide has some good products.

I've been checking the Rapide wheelsets. Have only heard 1 guy recommend them though, apart from these replies today.

I was considering them for  a build recently .. .if I opted to go the 29er route.

 

I like that you can elect to use brass nipples in your build and they have not noted a max. rider weight. Some decent choice on rim widths and pricing is really good from a seller who has an impeccable reputation on the BikeHub.

I've been really happy with my Rapide wheels..

where can one find A a high rise handle bar ? 31.8mm clamp 40mm-50mm rise 

 

I've recently dropped my stem to get A bit better feedback from the bike , but I'm longing for that feeling of A high steering position ( If that makes any type of sense )

 

everything on crc that will work for me is out of stock

Purchased some TRP Slate's from Edge_design. Damn good price. I'm keen to see if they will have enough oomph for France. If not I've got a set of Avid Codes that I'll throw on for the trip. But for here I think the TRP's should be perfect.

G-spec. gwin has done well for the TRP brand.

The DH versions are called quadiem (spelling) I'm getting Slates which is the more trail orientated one. The g spec has tool free lever reach. I think.

as in it doesn't make sense and is it in my head   or ?
