warawowo Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 Did that mess with the grip shifting at all?Must admit the sram grips was a bit disappointing, it was raining and they are way more slippery than my raceface grips on other bike.Nope if anything the grooves in the gripshift made the righthand side a bit less slippery than the left. Even though sram says " frictionless shifting" its not a totally loose feel. They have the feel and effort to twist the barrel absolutely spoton.

Never ridden with them on the trails, only a short test ride but really enjoyed it!!
warawowo Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 Cool, seriously considering going the grip shifting route. Never ridden with them on the trails, only a short test ride but really enjoyed it!!I only had gripshift on my old bikes, late ninety early 2000. Loved it then got rapid-fire trigger shifters on a bike and thought this is the new good. Been on xt shifters for 4 years now and really love it but the gripshift is so refreshingly simple. I would probably have bought the triggershifter xo1 but there was no stock and a limited offer so went with the gripshift with the idea to but shifters separately but one ride convinced me that it's not needed and actually considering changing my other bike as well now.

They are great but I don't actually find them as super efficient as a lot of people say. Hence my thinking on moving to the grip shifshifting. Great build btw....bike looks awesome!
warawowo Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 Thanx, super chuffed, it's really a dream bike cannot think of one thing I'd change.
canadonis Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 So what was the eventual cost of the build...we promise not to tell the mrs.

Seem slightly excessive. Also pity you missed Pyga's promotion late last year where they were selling framesets with reverb stealth and pike for R31k if memory serves me.
warawowo Posted May 1, 2015 Author Posted May 1, 2015 Hi, the wheels were custom built by hand, and the price included the xd drive attachment for xo1 which is over R1000 and brake rotors which accounts for another 1000+Thr pyga deal that was on was for frame shock and fork and it's what I got but upgraded the shock thus 2g extra.
Lone_Ranger Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Thanx I absolutely agree, black bar on order and decals already off! Still looking for proper short black stem.I have the Funn Funnduro stem, in black. Awesome 60mm stem. http://www.performancebikes.co.za/pFUNN0007/Funnduro-stem.aspx

For the money you spent, I would much rather get a Specialized Stumpy FSR Expert Carbon EVO 650B.
