Enduro_Jakes Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Finally finished this bike after buying the frame from @sakkiebomskok last year September... IMG-20150403-WA0000.jpg After a full easterweekend of riding Wolwespruit, RedBarn and PWC.IMG_20150407_085404.jpg Nice little DH section at RedBarn:  Saw this machine at Big Red Barn over the weekend... Photos do it no justice! My buddy and I were perving badly over this sexy beast! Quick question though.... that downhill section, where about is that at the barn?

NukeproofPeanut Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Saw this machine at Big Red Barn over the weekend... Photos do it no justice! My buddy and I were perving badly over this sexy beast! Quick question though.... that downhill section, where about is that at the barn?The best I can explain is -25.934967, 28.218010Riding the trails you probably go past it twice, but the quickest way is taking the blue route from the dirt road ( one that goes under the Rosie bridge jump). This blue route goes into a black which goes down to the river over a bridge. The DH is in this area.   You my friend. Have good taste in forksHahaha why thank you!

I don't think the others just fit... Had to get one from Giant... Long Wheel Base and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2
splat Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) I did my 27.5 Trance 2 but it was not as simple as my LBS... My LBS went to Giant and got drop-outs... easy peasy because you just order a derailleur hangar kit for a trance adv - the problem is the thru axle which apparently is a Giant special thread DT Swiss item... I don't think the others just fit... Had to get one from Giant... A kit is available and you do need the special Giant threaded axle as you say, but not all frames are convertible.Lucky for you, yours is. Giant made several changes and upgrades to the new 27.5" bikes and left the older 29'ers as is.
