sirmoun10goat Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 And the best part about a brain shock is that when yours is wrecked, they simply send you an overhauled unit which is as good as new
Oufy MTB (Roadie) Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 I paid R1500 for rear brain service. I got 14000 km on my 2014 epic. I commute daily in all conditions. Just done the 100 miler and I'm still on the same pivots. Apart from a drivetrain replacement at 8500km my bike has not cost me an arm or a leg.so I really don't know where okes are servicing their bikes.
GrahamS2 Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 u do any of that on Spez yourself warranty is out the door Not true. I know of 2 cracked frame warranty claims on bikes the owners serviced themselves. Both replaced no problem. The only proprietary thing on a Spez is the Brain, and they insist on that being serviced in Stellenbosch.
Rudi Pollard Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 It is... and I agree PF bbs are the worst thing that has happened to cycling in a long time. Mine creaks non stop even 2 or 3 rides after a service (bike is less than a year old). My other old mtb with threaded bb is perfect after 10 years of use! What bb are you now using? Looking to replace mine with one that doesnt creak every time I turn the cranks!Get a wheels MFG BB when you replace it. I replaced my SRAM PF30 in my Epic with one of these and it has not missed a beat in the last 3+ years. The bearings are replaceable as they sit in an alu housing. It cost me like R800 back then. One of the best things I have done to my bike
The Bull Shark Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Wheels MFG self pressing BB , once its in the frame it never comes out so you also don't remove a tiny layer of carbon with every replacement. + its dead silent and when the bearings are kaput you moer them out and replace ( probs R120 for new ones R280 for stainless) The shell doesn't ever need to come out of the frame !! This is an investment so don't get discourage by the price, I'll buy one of these If I ever get A frame with A PF BB. Talk to jason at the trailhead in randburg http://wheelsmfg.com/bottom-brackets/pf30/pf30-bottom-brackets/pf30-threaded-abec-3-bb-black.html I wanted to get this for my son's Giant, but they could not supply me with one (PF92), so I bought one from Enduro. Same concept, just as expensive, if not more, but bloody well worth it. I got the version with the XD15 bearings.

Heel Drop Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 see some time u just got to moan and then some one comes up with some really GOOD advice on the hub - that is why I am a hubhugger
Heel Drop Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Are you reffering to my post ?the one one the BB from wheels MFG Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
koukie Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 PF30 MUST DIE!Why? I prefer PF30 over frames like cannondale where the bearing goes direclty into the frame. Dont you think PF30 is more forgiving on a frame? That MFG bearing cups looks like a good concept. I will get that next time around.

Great in concept, terrible in execution. they don't last, they creak, they're expensive, the need to serviced by the dealer, they fail when least expected; and, therefore, they must die
Sharkie 2 Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 And the best part about a brain shock is that when yours is wrecked, they simply send you an overhauled unit which is as good as newI have been told that when you send your brain shock in for a service...you do not actually get the same one back. You just receive a serviced unit back i do not know how true this is though
Gert Janse v Rensburg Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 I have been told that when you send your brain shock in for a service...you do not actually get the same one back. You just receive a serviced unit back i do not know how true this is thoughIt is true. But we normally ask a customer if he wants his original unit back or a refurbished unit.Own unit takes a day or 2 longer to get back. Your choice though.If a customer does not say we ask for original unit back so we don't run into any issues later...
Gert Janse v Rensburg Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 This is true AFAIK and it would piss me off greatly... Not completely true though. you have the choice of refurbished unit or your own unit.the service form you need to fill in and sign at the store gives you the option.
