divernick Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Havn't had any problems on the back. Front however seems to be a bit of a problem. Rigid fork doesn't help much. Sucks considering how expensive they are. Sometimes it pays to stick with Shimano....
Thug Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Ryanpmb & SIR, congratulations on your new steeds. Very nice indeed !! Ryanpmb and DR ◣◢ 2
DR ◣◢ Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Sometimes it pays to stick with Shimano.... Would have but my wheels came without skewers. Thought I'd try something sexy instead.
Hairy Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Sometimes it pays to stick with Shimano.... On the SS I also had an issue with the front with a set of Bontranger QR's, solved the problem by fitting a set of Hope QR's ..... and they came in blue

Ryanpmb Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Ryanpmb & SIR, congratulations on your new steeds. Very nice indeed !!Thanks for the comment Thug. Very happy with the result.
Ryanpmb Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Light blue skewers for the Cotic. Should arrive next week. I like the sleek neat look. DR ◣◢ and Andro 2
Thug Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 http://www.cwcycles.co.za/sites/default/files/product_images/hope-qr-med.jpg The do look good! I have a Gold pair on my Scandal, never had a problem with them.
Hairy Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Light blue skewers for the Cotic. Should arrive next week. I like the sleek neat look. I had a set like that on my first Inbred .... nice thing is that it also makes the wheels reasonably theft proof when parked in the city.
Ryanpmb Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Took the Cotic out for a short blast in Karkloof last night... Too much fun! Very very happy with the build and the way the bike rides. Enjoying the steel frame and the SS setup! Still running the 32/16 setup which is fine for now. Some hills get tough but with a larger sprocket I'll have no top end at all! DR ◣◢ 1

PYGA1 Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Collected my Ritchey P-29er frame from my LBS today, what a stunning frame, super chuffed with it. I'll build it up over the next 6 months, 1st choice: which fork to go for ?Any advice as to which is the better fork and why ?
V12man Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 "Any advice as to which is the better fork and why ?" No - but it doesn't seem right to put a niner fork on a Ritchie frame to me perhaps something in steel instead of carbon? Going to be great when it is built up whatever fork you choose.
rouxtjie Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Anyone of the two, but something inside me just says to stick the ritchey on the...ritchey
