Truvativ Gigapipe Dh


JT!

Recommended Posts

I can't believe they don't sell them at CRC... oh well, try going to www.biketrials.com and product reviews then search for it...

It might show you where you can buy one... Failing this try google search  ;)

I'v been googling for the last half hour. :) It's not looking too good. :)

so what are you actually looking for then? be more specific? isis, square taper?

I'm looking for that BB, on the link you sent me, but i have tried that shop and they don't have any in. Despite what they say on the site.

I have recently bought the gigapipe dh bottom bracket, in 73 by 128mm to fit my t-rex with a 22t chainring, the same size as you need. I got mine from CRC here. However they dont appear to have the right size anymore as you have noticed. Dont buy from leisure lakes, i originally ordered the exact same bb from there as crc didnt sell the gigapipe at the time. They didnt have the bb in stock and failed to tell me so i waited two weeks and had to prompt them through an email before they told me they werent in stock as i placed my order online and it said they were in stock. I then discovered that they were charging £10 more than crc did too and through the help of dave@tartybikes i discovered that crc now sell the gigapipe and ordered it from there, good service too. :)

I'll buy from anywhere that has one in stock, but no one does.

I'll give CRC bell tomorrow and try my luck.

Anyone know anywhere else? :)

Right.

Fisher Outdoor are the UK stockist for Truvativ. Therefore, if anyone will have them, they will :-

In that there seems to be somewhat of a national shortage of Truvativ Gigapipes in 73x128 (apart from in my BB shell :D"), try calling Fisher Outdoor on the number on their site here, and ask when they think they'll be in stock next. We deal with Fisher from our shop, and they're OK with most stuff :rolleyes:

Yeah there is a shortage, i'll cheak out that site, but i doubt they'll have them as other shops will have bought them if you know what i mean.

Yeah, but if all their clients have no BB's in, they're likely to get some in for them, as they're the main UK distro :-

Yes, but i have been told by 2 shops i have phoned they're not expecting any in for a few weeks. Either way i'll give them a ring tomorrow and see if they have any lurking in the corner hidden by a pile of old innertubes. Same with CRC just to cheak. Then i'll start looking at other BB's i supose. :rolleyes:
