Blerts Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I did the Sabie Experience on my old Gary Fischer Mt Tam with V-brakes. I love the bike, but I stripped the crank and it needs some work on it after Sabie, so I have decided to upgrade to a new bike for Sani2C with disc brakes. My budget is around R20 000, and I've started to have a look around (I'll go hardtail). I like the 2008 GT Zaskar Expert Carbon, but I would have liked a bike with XT for this price as it comes with full LX. Is there anyone who knows this bike or who owns one who can tell me if it?s a good buy? Also how are the Rock Shox Reba shocks? <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Any suggestions for other bikes will also be appreciated.
philip.maree Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 2009 Silverback Prices from http://cyclefactory.co.za/content/view/56/182/ SURPLUS 3 @ R18,599 Full SLX with XT RD. SURPLUS 2 @ R22,500 Full XT with XTR RD. Silverback is probably the best value for money option imo.
DeltaOscar Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Decent 2009 XT bikes seem to be around mid 30- 40K.I ran a Reba Team with poploc for 3 years, awesome.Most reliable, easy to use XC fork I ever owned, can't reccomend it highly enough.
