[Buying New Bike]

I am looking for a new dual suspension mountain bike to buy, around 8-9 000 Rand, and am not sure what to buy. I want a good bike, with good parts that I can use for jumping and offroading alike. I have looked around, but am having trouble finding anything. If you want to suggest nything, or if you have a bike to sell, then message me.

 

If you want a new dual suspension good bike you have to spend good money.
sorry, but the budget doesn't match the request, why not second hand , maybe hardtail maybe 26" or 27,5" wheels maybe all of that and your budget matches.

if you want the bike to last forever, there are not many choices. 
One not to miss is this one Velotraum | Fahrräder aus Weil der Stadt

[Tubeless sealant on bibs]

have you tried alcohol based hand sanitizer? let it soak and then try and brush it out , and repeat.....
be careful not to use a too hard brush

[Norco Trail MTB Bikes]

looks like there is no Norco importer at the moment. Cycles United used to bring them in but dropped them for Cube ?

looks stunning, but why offroad tyres? they slow you down and going gravel is not the best idea on a recumbent.

disconnect and reconnect the sensor from the head unit helped me.

Heard from a friend:

 - At the recent AR World Champs in Eastern Cape, the race included a 500km'ish ride. The US team that came 6th did not wear any bike shorts. They swore by the saddles they had. This https://infinitybikeseat.com/shop/a1x/ - 

from their website:
 

If you’re a female between 5’0″ and 5’9″, or a male between 5’2″ and 6’2″, you should be extremely satisfied.

Your height determines the width of the pelvis.

Just used the stats from Racetec and Finish Time from my individual finish times. May not be all that accurate but still indicative of the decreasing numbers

Could this then just be the number of finishers ? The number I heard was 13000

it's not about the weight(as long as you don't go for super lightweight stuff) it's about your riding skills and technique. e.g gear shifting skills...

You are So Wrong 

I could proof it... all I need is your bike, a 10 year old kid(40kg max) and Ill teach him how to snap your chain, break your rims, snap your saddle and kill your brakes.😁

Edit: spelling brakes correctly.

I have done this in the past(sell only). Told the shop what pay out I want and left it to them what they sell it for.

coverage is an issue at the moment but we're planning 5 yrs into the future.

We didn't get to see the XCM races due to the cash with the Men and Ladies road events and track. There's no excuse for that other limited channels. 

Infrastrcuture may be a limiter but we have a world class velodrome, world Class XCO track in Stellenbosch and plenty of good quality roads in and about the city. Real issues like lawless taxi's are more the problem than anything directly related to hosting

I had no idea, where is that world class velodrome ?

At the Absa Cape Epic

....The Tour de France of MTBiking

[Really, No Epic 2023 Thread?]

the prologue was so nice to watch, this is gonna get exciting. Sad part is the youtube feed (but still better than nothing) and the number of spectators ??? after deducting friends and fam of the riders there were 2 left 👀.
The venue also looked scary empty, no party, no food stalls, expo style things, why not make it attractive to visit?
