  1. Hey. I have used 9mm sleeve in the past and they work ok but would suggest getting adaptors. Giant hubs are normally DT swiss so you just need new end caps https://evobikes.co.za/product/dt-swiss-fw-adapter-kit-12-100mm-350-spline-r-spline/ Good luck - can be a puzzle solving the end cap situation but LBS should be able to assist
  2. Hey guys Hope you don't mind, but thought I would start a new thread for Black Friday 2023 - great if people could share deals, links etc that pop up and are worth looking at. Cycle Lab and Evo already got some awesome deals I see: https://evobikes.co.za/product-category/black-november/ https://www.cyclelab.com/shop/details/black-friday?sort=all_products Happy sharing
  3. I really think the Titan is the best value at the moment. Apparently there support service is out of this world (cos they are based here). The bike is modern geometry etc... - if I was buying today it would be a Titan cypher for sure: If you could stretch - this is the deal of the year https://solomonscycles.co.za/products/titanracing-cypher-rs-carbon-ltd-edition-1x12-29-flip-chip-carbon-frame-mountain-bike-dual-suspension-2023/ DT Swiss wheels and suspension!!
  4. Hey I use the Rapide tensioner with their conversion kit and have been blissfully happy
  5. Just received same exceptional service on replacement! Quick and free! Boa will be on all shoes before you know it.
  6. Thanks - happy to make the move to a new hub - assume I am in for hub AND spokes?
  7. Hi DT Swiss Looking for guidance - I have a set of Crest MK3s on DT Swiss 240s (CL) - I am now riding a boost bike and want to convert (rear end only) 1. Can I convert the current 240 rear hub to boost? 2. Should I rather switch out hubs? I have found a 350 boost hub BUT - if I do this am I also in for new spokes? Thanks
  8. I see this is listed on Buy/Sell https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/bike-racks/439390/skitch-rack-thule-pro-ride?referrer=top
  9. Check out the following video - will be a good guide (by a fellow South African)
  10. Hi team Onza Svelt vs Maxxis Aspen adding to this thread - there is a lot of talk about Aspens which is useful! Any comparison to a Onza Svelt? Both on Special on evo at the moment and trying to make a call... Thanks
  11. So I like the look of this SOMA! Horiztonal drop outs with the option of geared - pretty classic geometry and high end steel THOUGHTS?
  12. Thanks guys! Not sure I am that keen on a Momsen although the new 2020 might be interesting The contraband looks awesome and have contacted website but agree with @copperhead that the website is pretty amature Does anyone know whether cotic still make bikes and whether you can get them?
  13. Hey guys I am possibly in the market for a new STEEL MTB FRAME that is likely to built up as a single speed (but possibly geared) I am looking for suggestions of bikes that are available in SA (or easily shipped to SA) Must be 29er Let me know your thoughts
