Ride Rate Review

ah yeah dude, I very very seldom leave my bike on the back of my car now days. Someone told me of 2 bikes that was stolen on 1 rack just like that this past weekend in stellies this past weekend. Also have to remember to remove before it goes to a friends house or a bike service, because you never know who' watching/waiting, jy weet?

Oh man, a chain breaker would be the cherry on the cake here, but they don't want to take all the business away from S. hahaha I am always hopeful there is someone out there with a breaker with him. Jokes aside, I think Specialized are currently leading in the innovation/intergration sectors but for how long? All these small companies are crawling up out of the wood works with very clever idea's.

Ever since Specialized dropped the SWAT bomb on the cycling industry I have been quite jealous of folks able to carry integrated tools inside their bikes. If I rode packless I used to be very limited with the things I carried. I mean a multi tool in the pocket just doesn't work for me because its damn uncomfortable, bouncing round in the rough, I used to just risk it and hope for the best, until today. There are some very awesome products being releases in the cycling world and it seems tool integration is becoming a big thing, like it should. This is the All In Multitool. Ordered from the fantastic okes at allinmultitool.co.za. You can bet there will be a video.... very soon

Just back from a ride and my riding buddy was sporting something special. They seem practical and legit if you can't carry a bottle in the frame & not as bad looking as the moon bags of the past at all.

Enjoying an epic sunset from the hilltop.

Now that is an interesting ride.

Lol.... now there's an idea. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

I got this pair of Leatt Airflex Pro the other day and I have been wearing them non stop for the past couple of rides. Now let's get crashing.

This bike was sitting in my garage, freshly washed, lubed & ready to go back to PYGA after a good test period, but it looked at me with those trail riding eyes. My willpower is unfortunately very weak & I couldn't resist the urge. I had to take the PYGA Stage MAX out for 1 more epic ride. Tomorrow will be a sad day. But I will remember you fondly and I have a great video edit dropping to remind me of the great times we had together. We will meet again.

Last day on this Pyga Stage MAX before it goes back. It's a scorcher of a day out but I couldn't think of a better place to spend that last day than shredding some trails in Paarl. Fast and flowy to the MAX.

I have not installed the Luftkappe yet but from what I have heard from a source who has been on one for a few weeks is that it gives the pike a more Lyrik like feel on the small chatter, so more sensitive to small bump. I have a Lyrik but I am hoping to get one for my Pike on another bike soon.I will definitely shoot an installation video as well as a review if I do end up getting one.

I had a quick run to get the bike setup, suspension tuned and dialed in to my preference. I got a feeling that it's going to be a good.......... NO, great week ahead.

I am in the very fortunate position at the moment of having tried out & busy trying out loads of different tires on the bikes i review. I have just come off an E*Thirteen TRS+ and Onza Ibex combo on my last test bike.
