duringd Posted July 16, 2015 Share Thx - yes I think we will be best priced online - beating the likes of CRC etc...Not sure about this statement, if you look at CRC I could still have some change even after paying heaps to DHL for delivery. Definitely in the market...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOBIKES ONLINE STORE Posted July 16, 2015 Share Not sure about this statement, if you look at CRC I could still have some change even after paying heaps to DHL for delivery. Definitely in the market...... Once you factored in your VAT of 15.4%, Handling Fee and DHL costs compared to a 48hr door to door courier service included from us I am not so sure...

Fisan Posted July 16, 2015 Share Med cage derailleur, shifter, XT chain and 42T cassette from R2-bike adds up to R 3061.36.Shipping from DHL is about R 337.15After VAT on R3438.51 the total is about R3974.91....then you also have to add about R150 handling fee from DHL... so in total: R4125 The equivalent items on a local supplier adds up to about R4400. I can't vouch for the accuracy of these calculations, but I'd rather pay that 6% extra to support a local supplier and know that I'd get faster and better customer service. Now I'll go cry in the corner cause I'm not upgrading anytime soon. nickcza, koukie, Hilton. and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JXV Posted July 16, 2015 Share First PRE-orders will go out tom. There is still some items left in stock. You can order here - http://www.evobikes.co.za/catalogsearch/result/?q=M8000Ok that's R13750 more or less for a groupset less the FD,chain, front shifter, discs and cables. Early adopters can have this. Not much further to a full M9000 group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JXV Posted July 16, 2015 Share Complete 1 x 11 Groupset excl Brakeset will be about R7495. Including Brakeset about R10995...Much more reasonable. Thats around half the current price of equivalent M9000. Lets face it, most buyers of M8000 components are going to need either a whole groupset or at least a full drivetrain if they already have a nice brake set. But we might have to wait a little longer. I for one would want to wait for the SGS RD. I'm a glutton for versatility and the capacity of the GS RD is only 39t. In theory this doesn't leave much scope for a 45t extender cog or a wide range 2 x 10 chainring set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaves plenty room... capacity on a 10-45 is 35 teeth (4 within the GS capacity) On the wide range 2x10 though.. 2x10 w 11-36 and 28-42 is 39 teeth. So if you have a 26-39 or anything with a closer gap, the GS should be fine. Should... Edited July 16, 2015 by Renaissance Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you have a 26-39 or anything with a closer gap, the GS should be fine. Should...The new XT 11spd cassettes are 11-40 or 11-42 and the standard front chainring options are only 10t apart (24-34, 26-36, 28-38) though I daresay you could mix and match for a wider spread. So if you have 11-42 cassette with 26-38 this would make a range wide enough for almost anything rideable but it needs a RD with at least 43t capacity. Then, depending on your bike's suspension, you may need to leave 1t or 2t free for suspension related 'chain growth' . So, 45t..... I don't need this much range for normal riding on prepared tracks but its useful for exploring Lesotho's goat tracks and for those like me who lack general athleticism .
