Wayne pudding Mol Posted September 9, 2020 Share Is there a local supply chain for Nukeproof bikes? I am still seriously considering the Nukeproof Scout as a fun, do it all hardtail. But Rand/Pound exchange, mixed with shipping costs etc to bring one in from CRC right now is just a bit far out of reach. I was hoping to try get my hands on one when I was in the UK for business earlier this year, but COVID put an end to that business trip planYou can also try MTB monster in the UK - remember the vat comes off the price but back on here - if you buy a complete bike ask them to strip it and ship parts separately as you pay duties on a built bike but not on frames - shipping was ok - on a bike I was looking at, the price was similar to here except they actually had stock T_Boss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Boss Posted September 24, 2020 Share Not sure if I missed it and its been mentioned on here already, but this looks like a proper fun hardtail. https://www.marinbikes.com/bikes/2021-el-roy Who is dealing Marin Bikes in SA these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORNE Posted September 28, 2020 Share i'm reconfiguring my soma valhallen into a trail bike/ BIGboy bmx since i wont be riding it on my preferred gravel loop after it got bike jacked (and recovered!) . ill be using this exclusively for the silly stuff again....like my cotic BFE-26 was before this. Taking inspiration from the Surly Lowside...keeping it rigid for now since thats what i have. The carver trail 490 carbon fork is trail rated though. Shimano Saint groupo reconfigured into DH mode with 32T 1x7 11-24. Ordered some DMR V12's for it today.shouldnt have sold my dropper the weekend before the bike got stolen I guess haha.

Me rida my bicycle Posted September 28, 2020 Share Some feedback now that I have had a couple of rides. The extra travel and little added weight has made no difference in climbing times in fact technical climbing feels easier/better.Now where I wanted the difference when pointing it down and it has not disappointed! With still just playing and having fun I have beaten every PR without trying or aiming to.Now if I have only been on hardtails this would not be really impressive but I have had a number of nice dualies. So in short still a fast climber but on everything else it's turned up to 11. ChrisF, MORNE , Chadvdw67 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyronLab Posted September 29, 2020 Share They are coincidently the Surly “sunrise” bars that ship with the surly lowside bike lol.I knew i wanted a pair when i saw them on this Peter Verdone bike: That looks super rad, but also looks like it'll strike a pedal constantly. Intently following your Soma reconfigure, that frame deserves to be built up with some unique parts, and the rigid fork is a great start.

Rouxenator Posted September 29, 2020 Share Does not seem like it. Replaced the well worn drivetrain on mine. Much smoother now Tatt, BSG, ChrisF and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
