Kalahari Vegmot Posted July 29, 2017 Share 120 Euro'shttp://www.pedalon.co.uk/acatalog/giant-conduct-hydraulic-brake-conversion-kit.html But you need a Giant stem... Eddy Gordo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro5614 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Yes saw that. The stem adapter is also sold seperately so you can order your own housing and calipers. Giant Durbanville says its not available locally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monark Posted July 29, 2017 Share That solution is very clever! Looks so neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchelicious Posted August 2, 2017 Share Lovely bike. What tyres are you running, also how do you find those bars?Those look like Maxxis Ramblers? I have the 40c Ramblers on my Crux, brilliant tyres. http://www.maxxis.com/catalog/tire-512-rambler Edited August 2, 2017 by Patchelicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The woodchoppers 2 are super comfy and helps with handling over the rough stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jugheaddave Posted August 2, 2017 Share I will be running them tubless on a set of ZTR Arch wheels.Its my understanding that they should work fine (hopefully) Also, will run 1x 10 10spd shimano road shifters, with a 9spd XT rear derailer on a ten speed cassette.Apparently this work fine due to the same pull rations (hopefully!!) What gearing are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gearing are you running?It should work fine, you might have to play around with the B-screw etc. I've been thinking of using a fiction barend shifter with a 11 spd SLX RD. There is a guy (Ultra Romance) in the States running an eagle 12spd RD with a fiction brand shifter. But he had to make modify the shifter alittle with a grinder... http://theradavist.com/2017/01/benedicts-2020-s-works-fuse-ultra-baja-buggie/#1 Im running a 40 - 19 ratio at the moment.

jugheaddave Posted August 3, 2017 Share Stupid question, but I am guessing that the friction shiftier is un-indexed? Hopefully my parts will be here Monday!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowta Posted August 3, 2017 Share Stupid question, but I am guessing that the friction shiftier is un-indexed? Hopefully my parts will be here Monday!!! I'm running bar-end shifters at the moment. They are 9 speed BUT you turn the "Dial" and they turn from being index shifters to friction shifter, so I can put ANY speed cassette in the back (within the range of motion of the derailleur of course) Sepia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
