Chris.ZA Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Trance 2 2014 brakes are Deore level levers with Alivio calipers, and 2015 is Deore / Deore. It's not worth the upgrade unless they're broken, IMO. EDIT: You'll get a far more worthwhile performance upgrade with new rotors (if you're on 160 go to 180 if you're on 180 go to 203) than you would with the upgrade to SLX. Plus, you'd get wicked braking power on your new set, if you ever do upgrade...Cool. Thanks!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Cool. Thanks! Pleasure, man. There's very few things that help upgrade a bike's braking performance as much as larger rotors. Except going for Saint / Code / Guide / Elixir Trail / Hope brakesets, that is. But then you're spending waaaaaay more than R 200 for a 203mm rotor (from CWC - the Alligator PIZZA ones work perfectly) and R 150 for an adapter.
shakamara Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Took mine for its first groenkloof outing this morning and managed to tear the sidewall of the nobby nic. Can anyone suggest a decent tubeless replacement that can withstand the rocks in gp?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Anything schwalbe with the word "snakeskin" in it. The stock nobbys are thinner than tissue paper, so even if you go for a replacement nobby, make sure it's the snakeskin version
