Nope, unfortunately TMNP is archaic as it comes. At one of their offices only

Odd. website has historically always given costs. Still Do... Level 3 Main Member - R625, Level 3 Additional Member (up to 3 additional) - R270. So R1 435 for 4 ppl compared to R625 for 1...So TOTALLY worth it. (https://www.sanparks.org/parks/table_mountain/tourism/access-cards-permits.php)And no...you pay the current price now and the card is valid for 1 year from date of payment.

Rad! Thanks goodness I am not the only one keeping it a live

BMX aint for kids. You know dis mos. those okes are way more hardcore than the masses of dirt roadents on leHUb. Man I wish I made time to still ride my BMX. Just sold it last week though due to no use

Nonsensical poll...Sure gai. Bye now

Not for this Tygerberm thread it is not. Hey look, I DRGAF, but I do find it a bit hypocritical considering the downright lambasting a lot of us have gotten on other threads.

So we get moaned at for taking other Tygerberm topics apparently "off topic". But this is fine?

As just came across our MTB WA group, the lvl 4 documented restrictions specify 5km, but the lvl 3 do not, so they can TSEK until that changes. Nothing said on the radio is official anyway. See pics.

I hate to break it to you...but i was never happy with the DPX2...The Super Deluxe coil makes me splooge though...

1. It looks cool and you look like you mean business... Yes, we all know looks are most NB in MTB 2. If you get the coil setup right you dont have to bother changing settings again.. Depends on the shock. You won't change the spring rate (unless you get a new srping), but good ones still have at least rebound and compression, if not independent low and high speed 3. My fat ass needs a heavy coil and new coils cost $$$$.. A new spring ain't that bad (in MTB terms), but a new shock will be anywhere from 8k and up (before we get new stock at new USD rate) 4. If you get it right it wont bottom out (currently i ride the sag ring off my air shock....).. That depends on your bike suspension too. If it's regressive or even linear you may struggle to avoid ever bottoming out. But compression can assist. 5. Its heavier than an air shock... BUT just take a piss before getting on the bike and BOOM. Sorted.. Yep, take a pee and sorted. My Super Deluxe Coil is the same mass as an air shock, without the coil. So a lightweight coil can further reduce the difference. 6. Did I mention it looks rad?.. Yes 7. Air shocks are so XC.... .. XCO or XCM? XCM lame, XCO less lame

Not even remotely scary.

Then buy an Epic and go fall your kitty off at Hoogekraal

Oh how times have changed though Many of the new ones have excellent compression circuits. That coupled with the suspension kinematics can make the climbing on the coil actually better, albeit subjectively and negating the +-300g mass penalty. For 2 examples, when I went from air (Monarch Plus) to coil (CC DB Coil IL) on my 2016 Banshee Spitfire (140mm rear KS link), I did notice marginally more pedal bob on the coil, but with the LSC lever that is mostly negated. Now I have a 2018 Transition Patrol (160mm rear 4 bar?) I also went from air (Fox DPX2) to coil (Super Deluxe Coil) and OMG...honestly, it pedals better than the air (yes I feel it was setup well, just not entirely suited to the biek and my preference). The LCS lever is also not just on/off and traction, especially on tech, on the climbs is incredible. 100% would not go back to the DPX2, but would like to try a Float X2 sometime for comparison. Anyway, it's kinda *** because unless you know someone to loan a shock from to test, it's potentially a big $$$ risk. But once you've had the feeling of it setup well..and it suits your bike kinematics, it can't be beat for feel

If you cannot immediately feel the difference between a coil and air sprung shock you should give up riding. Fork, perhaps not so much.

Good luck with parking...seeing as they say there is no trail parking available. Ppl gonna be parking on the main street next to Hoogies. Still won't grudge buy that's fo sho.

Shhh I left Facebook because ppl were having cornospiracies. Where else are we supposed to be entertained then if not BH?

Ah dude that sucks! Hope it works out!

Nope, totally missed it when I replied to the pic I was tagged in. Totally. Also, a more general comment and not aimed at the pic specifically. Anyway as I am sure I've told you before the problem is not with berms, it's with that berms are all that are built when there is a corner. But we know how the defenders of the real love to read properly on BH.

Fo sho, but often the more natural stuff is just harder to find. That's why we organised a trip to Molini for later this year (pre covid arriving...). Lett's see if that still happens

looool...I assume you used comic sans cos you were taking the p1$$?

All they are able to build, no wonder most members (including myself when I lived there) can't ride a corner when there are no berms. I've come to the conclusion they design trails so that they can have extra maintenance and then whine when they need maintenance and close trails unnecessarily long because of it. Le sigh

That's why people pay trail fees. Lucky for the UK and other climates with heavy rain they have no rain or people who know how to use back brakes...

Tygerberm club put out a notice to the effect of "landowners were OK to open up on Lvl 4, but we think it is a bad idea". On their Facebook, woudl link,but culled FB. Personally I think it is the right move from them in the long term. We know people will not distance how they should and it's too risky unfortunately for an unnecessary activity

Majik is a public access space, so should be a no go area like all parks IMO. Anyway, we know Bellville works under a diff set of laws. Well, it did when I lived on Majik anyway

Majik/etc should also be closed...all public park areas..
