Diepseun Posted February 22, 2010 Share does any one know people who will stripp and repaint a downhill bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
your_name_here Posted February 22, 2010 Share There's a place called Castlecote in Parow. they quote me R342 to bead blast and powder coat my bike in a range of colors including clear. You will have to take out your pivot bearing etc yourself. I can't vouch for their work cos I ended up trying to save money and taking it to another place in Wetton who took 2 months to do a sh*t job.

thenoodle Posted February 22, 2010 Share Gents, I would like to join this thread. There seem to be alot less issues here than the rest of the Hub. My dream is to get a DH rig, so I am working on that........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted February 22, 2010 Share hahha welcome TheNoodle. I take it u referring to the most recent hub 'meltdown'? Par for the course when it comes to that topic.So what u looking at getting? Come, give us your wishlist bet it's gonna be a monster dh sled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenoodle Posted February 22, 2010 Share Shot Capricorn! Ya, I have been mainly doing XC's. Got a Merida Mission 3000 but I am a little gravitationally challenged (big boned) and I tend to pass many riders on the downhills but going up they all pass me again. I have been looking at some of your guys' rides and I really dig the bikes that Giant is pumping out. Monggose Boot R is also quite sexy, what do you guys reckon to start with.......something that can take big knocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted February 22, 2010 Share best thing is, get a decent 2nd hand DH rig with some decent specs (cos honestly, ALL purpose built DH rigs are good!) and then start shredding. If you like it, then u can later on decide to play around with various frames and their specific geometries. If I'm not mistaken: at this stage, you dont know what u want, except to try DH. So try. get picky later on Quite a few DH sleds for sale, and make no mistake: whilsts there are some sick bargains to be had, DH is not a cheap passtime.?
