Wil6 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Hehe no. Close though. Lebomboberg laan going down from Barzen Head to die Skietwinkel. haha, looked very similar to a complex that one of my friends use to live.
Josh0 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 haha, looked very similar to a complex that one of my friends use to live. Yeah all the complexes kinda look the same in the area.Cheers man!
Nofearnofun Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Do you sell them Monarchs?Quite a steepish price damn, I will have to get saving......I sell any bike parts I can source.I bring bits in from a supplier Germany as and when needed. 6k is ball park, could probably trim that price down a bit depending on the exchange rate at the time of order. A normal monarch will cost you in the region of 5k in SA. For a bit more you can get a monarch plus with auto sag. I'm not sure you would even find a monarch for a spaz in SA.
MoreTrails Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Specialized do offer shock upgrades to some of their bikes, eye to eye and stroke are critical, as well having the right end to fit into their yoke system. Ditch the autosag - a waste of money, and Fox trying to be clever and failing....again

Cool thanks, I am constantly saving up for new upgrades. I will get back to you when the time has arrived for the Monarch Plus. Hopefully by then, the Euro has been clapped a bit by the Rand.......pfff.

I am after one myself for my Enduro.

Chip Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Hey Guys, I have a Giant Anthem X29er and would like to do some Enduro's, what would you suggest I "upgrade" to make my bike more enduro friendly? Current Setup:RS Recon Silver forkRS Monarch shockShifters: SRAM X7 2x10FD: SRAM X7RD: SRAM X0Crank: SRAM X9 2x10Brakes: Formula R1Wheels: Syncros with 180mm rotor front and 160mm rotor rearBars: Rapidé Rize-R 780 BarsStem: Giant 80mmSeatpost: GiantPedals: Shimano clipless M540 Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks,Dale
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 You can do it on the Anthem, but I'd get the fork spaced out to 120mm if you can. Otherwise a 120mm fork and potentially a shorter stem.
Chip Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Thanks for the advice El Capitan...I have a 40mm stem and will see if I can get the fork spaced, think it's a RS Recon Silver RL...

Thanks,Dale Dale - Although as El Cap says a 120mm spaced fork would be "better" (not sure what yours is at now anyway) ... I would say just go and ride the Enduros .... We have guys doing then here on their hardtails and they have just as much fun as the okes on their fancy Enduro spec bikes. ... Your bike as it is will be more than capable. You may find your limits on the bike a bit sooner than on a bike thats more forgiving, but at the end of the day this wont make that much of a difference. So dont worry about fiddling to much, - maybe throw the 40mm stem on if you feel like it, but remember to give it a whirl first so that you can get used to the added agility of the bike when you do .... Just take an allenkey with you to lower your seat for the actual race stages and you will be good
