marinusg Posted November 10, 2012 Share Had some down-time due to an injury and decided to build a low maintenance machine. Opted for a 'Dingle' arrangement 34 - 18 and 32 - 20 at this stage. First 'easy' ride - really loved it!! Brings the count of Cotic frames in the stable to 3!!

paarlmtb Posted November 12, 2012 Share nice, but whats up with the blue tape? wouldn't duct tape have been better? Thanks, it's silicone tape, duct tape sticks to the frame like poo to a blanket!!! Tape keeps the brake hose from rattling like a flagpole rope in gale force wind!!

NINER_boy Posted November 12, 2012 Share Hi guys Anybody have issues with their EBB???? I have a NINER Air 9Carbon, and ABSOLUTELY in love with my bike.The Niner EBB gave me grey hair, in the sense that it creaked and slipped.The maintenance on this killed me, as I needed to re tighten after every ride.With the Niner EBB I tried all 9 different methods of fitting, the carbo-grip option, the carbon assembly paste option, the plumbers tape option (this one, I got an even thicker plumbers-tape, and that was the closest I got to a slip and creak free EBB) Now, I got tired of the hassle, and after some hours of research, I made contact with some guys in the US. Received my new Bushnell ebb last week, fitted with a shim (for the niner's shell diameter) and a weeks care free, creak free, adjustment free riding. They have 2 models. I opted for the "retro" older one, as then the expanding force pushes out along the full shell vs the full EBB circumference, vs just the "shoulders" of the skeletonised "featherweight" ebb option. Loving it, and now I have a TRULY "maintenance free" bike in my SS. Happy hooping Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/85763-post-your-mtb-ss/page/48/#findComment-1848812 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerkie Posted November 12, 2012 Share Hey Guys , yeah like Nick said , Iucky magic gear ....Went through my old mtb stock , found a used chain , and it fits like a glove . I want to put on a SS specific chainring and chain will then probably need to add the tensioner , but until the OLD chain gets "old" I'll just use it like this . Looks better anyway .did 94.7 this weekend , no problems .
