<\/a><\/p>\nThe Sphere 1 is Silverback’s reimagination of the hardtail with plus sized wheels. It features 3.0″ tyres to add grip, stability, and comfort. The Sphere makes use of the wider Boost axle spacing to stiffen the larger and heavier plus wheels and tyres. The 100mm Manitou Magnum fork sits at a trail-friendly 68 degree head angle. The reliable combination of a SRAM 1x drivetrain and Shimano’s SLX brakeset round off the bike.<\/p>\n
The Verve Cycling InfoCrank is a relative newcomer to the power meter market. It is a crank based power meter which boasts left and right measurements. The unit is said to be super accurate and highly durable without the need for continuous recalibration. The cranks themselves are cold forged aluminium fitted with Praxis Works chainrings. Model Tested: InfoCrank 110 BCD M30.<\/p>\n The retail price for the Verve InfoCrank 110 BCD M30 and 24mm models is R22,000. Verve will be releasing cranksets for track and mountain bike later this year. You can contact the local distributor on their website here<\/a> and check out their Facebook page<\/a> for special deals.<\/p>\n This is an upgrade I recently did to my own bike and, even though it is not a full SRAM NX drivetrain review, I thought it may be of interest. The upgrades includes a SRAM NX cassette, rear derailleur and chain with a GX shifter. Due to the marginal price difference between the NX and GX shifters, the local distributor has decided to not stock the NX shifter for now.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nSpecifications:<\/h2>\n
