T-Bob Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Seems you can get a GX eagle upgrade kit from bikediscount.de for R5.5k ex shipping and duties.That is for rd,shifter, cassette and chain. There was rumour that you could pre order the upgrade here for around the R6.5K mark.
Rocket-Boy Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 There was rumour that you could pre order the upgrade here for around the R6.5K mark. That would be seriously awesome. Im considering saving the shipping and getting one brought out with a colleague coming back to SA next week.
T-Bob Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 That would be seriously awesome. Im considering saving the shipping and getting one brought out with a colleague coming back to SA next week. Was tossing up the same thing as well. Let me know what price you find out there.
Rocket-Boy Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Was tossing up the same thing as well. Let me know what price you find out there. Will do, still browsing around the various retailers to see who has the best deal.
T-Bob Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 As if by magic.... R5600 upgrades kit. If I hadn't bought a GX 11 yesterday then I'd be there like a bear. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/255069-sram-eagle-gx-upgrade-kit-on-pre-order/

If I hadn't bought a GX 11 yesterday then I'd be there like a bear. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/255069-sram-eagle-gx-upgrade-kit-on-pre-order/In all honesty that is around R200 more expensive than the cheapest I could find. Which is pretty damn awesome.
T-Bob Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 In all honesty that is around R200 more expensive than the cheapest I could find. Which is pretty damn awesome.The ones I found in the UK were pretty much the same price but was for the whole groupset inc crank rather than the upgrade kit.
Iwan Kemp Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Full groupset - R8k-ishUpgrade kit - Around R2k less than that R8k for a full 12spd drivetrain? I'll have me some of that!
T-Bob Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Full groupset - R8k-ishUpgrade kit - Around R2k less than that R8k for a full 12spd drivetrain? I'll have me some of that!Pretty good for sure. Think I'll be getting some of that 12 speed action later this year when I'm over in the U.K. Need to decided what bike is going to be 'the one' and rationalize my rides.
CAAD4 Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Whys that?I'm just not a fan of something that's so proprietary on an MTB, that's all, no other reason really.
T-Bob Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 CRC has the Eagle full groupset for £382 / R6600 (UK only but you can always use Aramex or the in law courier).
nonky Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 upgrade...shmupgrade what this means is that your next(i.e. now-now, or 2nd-hand in 12-months) mid-range bike will be 1x12 . and that, as they say in the classics, is PIELE.
