I just sold my Anthem and purchased the Trance ( not the advanced ) and i was a bit worried about the climbing ability of the Trance as my last 140mm all mountain ( mongoose ) didnt climb well. All i can say is im over the moon with the bike..climbing is no problem and when you point it downhill you just feel super confident and dont have to scan for the less hairy route as i did on the Anthem. Its obviously the better comps on the Trance adv that make the price difference because on the Alu model it,s actually cheaper than the Anthem.

has anyone got any feedback on Manitou Marvel Forks compared to Fox

Um didnt you say Enduren taste DIDN'T change...then why not stick with it It's the only product i use.

Did anyone manage to see the Enduren Stand at the Argus Expo...

Good news Enduren at the Argus Expo on Stand 99, with Recycles/Wrench Works - come visit us and try our very popular, great tasting oat cocoa energy bars, endurance drink, cramp buster tablets etc. Stand 99 is at Right Hand Exit of main exhibition floor, opposite the Polar and GO Pro stands.

isnt the Milo to much SUGAR ??

i normally mix it with weetbix whcih gives it the chewy factor

Enduren is definately the way to go, easy on the stomach and packs plenty power.

Hope you got plenty for this weekend Seabee

Not Low Gi and yes you can buy a sample sachet of 50g for R 14.00 . obviously will depend where you are based, if your in durbs then you can just come and buy one if elsewhere then will be a bit more problematic.

has to be the Choc flavour , the plain flavour is just awfull.

Actually the Drink was what put Enduren on the Map, in Cape Town there are plenty of Distributors just check ENDUREN website for one closest to you. Lots of Top Athletes are using this product, MTBikers include Ben Melt Swanepoel, Marc bassingthwaite and many others also on the site. cheers chris

HTC snap

Is anyone using a GPS software program on Cell Phone to map their routes?? If so which one is best

Definately have to agree with you on that WW. And i will get to test out that exact statement this month at the " buy b4 u ride " at Giba ...so looking foward to that

actually i checked and Frame weight difference is only 1kg so i suppose it depends if your a weight weenie or not.

Doesnt the Zula only have 4inchs rear travel ? if its more comfort you were looking for then i would rather opt for the Shova as it has 5.7inch rear travel.

what about Commencal Meta 5.5 it doesnt seem to get much of a mention here in SA but gets good reviews overses

The head angle will only be my starting point and obviously all the other points will come into play as well. thanks

Thaks for the input guys and im gonna agree with Lefty that the 1 degree does indeed make a difference. i have also read many overseas blogs and forums on the subject and and feel confident i need the 68deg machine.

what difference will the head angle make to the ride ? Basically im trying to decide which bike will better suit my riding, which is mostly single track but i do enjoy it when there are Bull runs with drop offs involved. So im looking at bikes with minimum 130mm travel and have seen that on the three bikes that look the business they each have different head angle. namely 68 - 69 - 69.5. Please can someone give me some input thanks

sounds really good im dead keen, how hard is it to change them over as i never done it before

i think the dart is a 100mm travel, im doing mostly 40km XCM classic races. i have never had an Air /oil fork before what are the advantages ??

cool thanks, i purchased a nice secondhand dual sus bike and the forks are oldish & dodgy Rock shox Dart1 so i want to replace them. which fork would be better suited , the F1rst Air or Titan Air also what sort of guarantee do your forks have and do they come with manuals on setup and maint etc.
