patches Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 may be an issue for those running grips with lock-on end caps like the Eastons or Ragleys http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Bikerumor-Lock-On-Grip-Round-Up-019.jpg But a cool idea for the majority of grips out there. Still wouldn't pay R350 for it though NotSoBigBen 1
Guest Karma Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Me too until I got Niner YAWD plugs...you put your favourite beer caps at the end... Works a treat, very hipster and yes at the rate we consume lager...you have an endless supply it's a pleasure.
Randall7 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 R350 is quite cheep...i would say. Try pricing the specialized SWAT indevidually....nothing under 500. But all worth it for the conveniency...Thank Specialized and Sahm
_David_ Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) we now know everything about the product apart from where to buy it Saw this on twitter just now: Edited March 25, 2015 by David Truter
V12man Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Saw this on twitter just now: I just bought 4 from nev@epicbikeshop.co.za And they were not R350 either..... somewhat less.... and that included shipping. _David_ and Bike Mob 2
V12man Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Must be - try complete cyclist in bryanston - ask for greg - friendly sales guy - very helpful
Bike Mob Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Yes guys we have stock at Epic Bike Shop, selling out fast but will re-order soon. R295 a kit. It's very lightweight, convenient and keeps the actual plug strip clean and tacky. Its a very good solution
Milosh Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Got some at complete Cyclist - Main Rd, Bryanston R350 , but collecting today so worth the extra $$. The tool has always given me the sh^ts on where to store and is to far away when needed. Neat solution ;-)
the_roadie Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Got mine from Bicycle Company in Centurion and installed yesterday. Was a bit of a mission on the Cannondale bars with the aluminum inserts, so had to file those slightly. Probably saved another 2g right there https://www.dropbox.com/s/mqtvbjkn5qvlilw/2015-03-27%2006.48.42.jpg?dl=0 Edited March 27, 2015 by the_mtb Long Wheel Base 1
Tomj Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I just bought 4 from nev@epicbikeshop.co.za And they were not R350 either..... somewhat less.... and that included shipping.I bought a pair and it doesn't seem to fit my Specialized Epic (2014 model).
Milosh Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Thought the same to but if you twist end it resizes insert part ( four quarter round parts held together by O rings ) Edited March 29, 2015 by Milosh Tomj 1
the_roadie Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I bought a pair and it doesn't seem to fit my Specialized Epic (2014 model). Does the Epic have a carbon handlebar? Check if there isn't an aluminum insert at the end of the bar. That's issue I had with mine. Had to file the inserts down slightly to get it to fit.
CleatsnCleavage Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Won a set of these at a race last week, keen to put them on but worried my grips will look ragged and untidy after they have been chopped. Any issues with fitment besides having to file them (I ask as if I'm about to fit them myself...fear not.) Also must just say the plastic ends feel very cheap and breakable...R350 is over-priced. Handled them at Complete Cyclist in Bedfordview previously and that was the reason I didnt buy them. Edited April 3, 2015 by CleatsnCleavage
