Difference between the rear shocks (Buying a new bike) HELP PLZ

[porqui]

 

No worries. Been a member on the SA Gamer forum for years now, new here but I know how it goes  

 

Making my final decision today / tomorrow. Still getting over the fact that Im about to spend 30k just on a bike....and its not like I'm a regular/pro, its my first one in over 10 years lol... 

 

 

Now if you waited just a tad like 3 to 4 weeks you will find your R30k will go further as the 2019 model start appearing and the 2018 models become obsolete and cheaper

That would be superb!. See if you can get a chain upgrade while you at it. The XG 1275 GX 12s chain doesn't last very long. Got 900km out of mine before it hit 0.6% wear. With a 12 speed drive train you want to replace the chain at 0.5% wear.

 

What's a 0.1% here or there? Jeez! Percentageofiles believe everything a chain wear indicator tells them.

Many people are out downhilling longer lower slacker bikes on their steep 71 degree hardtails...

Sounds like a challenge....

I think it’s because we all know just how awesome it is to take your new bike for it’s first spin. Especially when it’s your first bike, such an adventure and so much discovery and more “firsts” (first race, first multistage race, first cool socks, first broken collarbone) still awaits.

The hype is real...

Just a few questions:

What pedals should I get? I got a quote on the Shimano XT M8000 ones. Are they good?

Will buy all the other smaller things like pumps, tools ect next month. Lets hope I dont get a puncture.

Also, what bar should the tires be or does that depend on my weight?

 

Bike is shipping today. So should be here around Wed?Thurs

I know what Im going to do this weekend hehe
