DuncanDoughnuts Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Anyone have any experience with the Rapide components ? They seem to be of very good value and i wonder if the quality is that great ? Looking specifically at the NW 32 chain ring and 40t range extender cog? http://rapide.co.za/product/rapide-gearhead-range-extender-cog/ http://rapide.co.za/product/rapide-nw-ultralight-ring/ they wont go on my main bike, but more a "Loan bike" Would the quality be up there with Raceface and wolf-tooth ? or is it a case of you get what you pay for?
NotSoBigBen Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I don't have any experience with other NW blades but I have 2 from Kiwi and one has had quite a bit of use and is holding out pretty well. The other bike is not used often .....
shaper Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I run the 34 NW from Rapide, works well, as good as the others and Kiwi always gives good service and prices!!
NotSoBigBen Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Gonna buy me a 40t range extender for a 'FMTM' present for Xmas
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 If the quality if their R200 bar is anything to go by... Go read my review of it on their website. Suffice to say, it's amazing
popcorn_skollie Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I have ordered several items from them. Bars, NW ring, sprocket, saddle, tensioner, and more.The quality of their products is SO GOOD that it just confirmed something I've suspected all along. Other brands are simply overpriced. The only thing I wish they would do is slap that awesome logo of theirs on the bars.They're just plain black. Fantastic Service too.Wayne is a pleasure to deal with.

SimpleDom Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Anyone tried their hubs / wheels? These guys are going to kill the rest of the market.
Wil6 Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Nothing wrong with their products. I bought numerous components from Kiwi and his products is great and the prices even more so.
rock Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 If the quality if their R200 bar is anything to go by... those bars are great.....running them on my mountain bike.....
deanbean Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Anyone tried their hubs / wheels? These guys are going to kill the rest of the market.I've got rims, which I've dinged. But they seem to repair reasonably, maybe a bit soft, but then I consider rims to be consumables, I'm hard on them, so they're priced right.
erikt123 Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I conform, I have bought quite a few items an Wayne is always a pleasure to deal with quality of items are good and price very reasonable
Monark Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Ditto to all of the above. He is a champ to deal with.

A big to their stuff !!
Ampandy Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Thumbs up to kiwi / Wayne. Good products, good quality and good price. What more can one ask?
