spector28 Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 So that's where Jason's frame ended up eventually. I think it is awesome frame!
RockCoach Posted December 18, 2013 Author Posted December 18, 2013 I think it is awesome frame! I know it is for a few reasons. I know nofearnofun. We met at Cascades Enduro before you got the new frame. And most if all, that is the only Solis frame in the country - nevermind the bronze paint.

Brett Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Got my Morewood up and running a few months ago. Thought I would share.All going well so far after the new build, except for leaking fork seals and I'd prefer a headset with a lower stack height. Hopefully get that all sorted out soon.Bars are 685mm so feel I want 720mm for the faster tracks.xt 3x10. slx brakes. hope evo2 hubs f&r. fox talas & rp23...not bad but still 14.94kg. Think if I took the maxxis off the front i could drop 2kgs though! haha.cheers!
deviate Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 got my ride last week! Giant Trance 2 changed the following tyres:mavic crossmax charge 2.4 (front)mavic crossroc 2.2 (rear) Wheels:Mavic EN321 (gorilla taped)new spokes KS LEV Integra 150mm Dropper post also just added a 180mm rotor on the rear, makes a HUGE difference!! and this happened on the third ride funny thing about the mavic rear specific tyres, on the wheel is the crossroc roam 2.2 and in my hand is the crossmax roam 2.2 , only difference seem to be a bit of thorn resistance and a few grams.... I shied away from the crossmax roam 2.2 because of a few bad reviews.... should have just put them on.... oh well.... the CHARGE front tyre is $%$^$%# AMAZING!! super soft and really really astonishing! my new favourite straight up!
Beer4Recovery Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Jonkershoek this morning Wharra bike! O__O
NicoBoshoff Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 So I've made so many changes to my ride since buying it I reckon it's time for an update. Here's what it looks like now with the following changes made: Command post installed, Nukeproof electron flats, Hoops swopped from Roval to ZTR Arch Ex, 740mm Deity riser bar, 60mm KCNC stem (was 80mm Spez), Wolf-tooth 1x10 conversion with 30t ring keeping bash guard. Bike still only weighs 13.6kg, which aint bad for a bike that chows some big trail. Some pics:
RossW Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 This keeps me entertained when the XC bike gets too much. BTW. She might be looking for a new home in the very near future... Let us know when she starts looking My Santa Cruz Blur LT is for sale! Edit:https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/74531-santa-cruz-blur-lt/
Heinrich Hattingh Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Made some changes to my rig. - Vinyl-ed the frame black.- Changed the stock bar to a 740mm Funn Fatboy- Installed a RaceFace N/W 32t chainring - should have done this way sooner. Have not dropped a chain yet and loving it.
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Made some changes to my rig. - Vinyl-ed the frame black.- Changed the stock bar to a 740mm Funn Fatboy- Installed a RaceFace N/W 32t chainring - should have done this way sooner. Have not dropped a chain yet and loving it.Keen to see more close up pics of the vinyling of the frame. would double up as frame protection.Please post if you dont mind.
patches Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Yeah also keen to see the vinyl wrapping. Was thinking of trying that on one if my frames but seemed very intricate to get right
Heinrich Hattingh Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Here are some more detailed shots. Was pretty intricate to get the shape of the vinyl correct before applying. (did this with wide masking tape) once you have a template though, it's easy to apply with a heat gun. I just masked the green bits out and left the carbon and white, one could do the whole frame if needed. Use similar technique to redo my remedy helmet Red Bull style. Hope this helps.
