Ysterman Posted October 25, 2009 Share Well, it was time for an upgrade & decided on an Epiphany <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I believe the complete bike from head to toe is 2010. That includes the 2010 Fox Talas shock that is not out in SA yet But, as with all new things, sometimes there?s teething problems ? The wheels are the 2010 wheels and they need a small adaptor to fit the 9mm skewers on the 2010 Talas fork ? which didn?t come with the frame & build kit. Good news is, the adapter should be in SA by tomorrow. Then it?s final touches, setup & ready for Kievits Kroon corporate challenge by Sunday. So for now, the bike is spending some quality time on the couch ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blockhouse Posted October 26, 2009 Share Ysterman, You've made a fantastic purchase, out of interest, do you know what your build weighs? By the way if you ever feel like a set of 2008 ellsworth xc carbon wheels, give me a shout I might be willing to sell mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ysterman Posted October 26, 2009 Share That couch is not worthy ! I know ... <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Hopefully those parts make it through customs in no time & up to Jburg in a flash so that I can get those knobblies off the couch and dirty asap !

By the way if you ever feel like a set of 2008 ellsworth xc carbon wheels, give me a shout I might be willing to sell mine[/quote'] According to www.wrenchscience.com it should be just over 12kg (26.57lbs), but not sure what wheelset they use in their estimate. Will probably have to take the bike to Mikes Bikes to get the adapters fitted for the skewer - will then weight the bike. Also converted to tubeless - but the rest are all standard Ellsworth XT build kit. Hahaha ... my budget is no more ... but just out of curiosity, do you have a link so that I can have a look at those carbon wheels ... http://www.wrenchscience.com/Ellsworth/Epiphany/Mountain_Bikes/Frames.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ysterman Posted November 2, 2009 Share I know who you are "Ysterman" How did it ride on Sunday and did you get the mud off by now ? Narra, daai ysterperd het moer lekker gery - en ja, hy is silwerskoon & weer terug op die bank Maar meer belangrik, noudat jy jou 1ste modder "geproe" het, wanneer kry jy vir jou 'n ordentlike fiets?
