T forever solve the hungry at 10, GI problem, just add small handfull of chopped almonds or whole to yer Oats!! brings the GI down and keep u full for longer. The crunchie Futurelife is very lekker! I alternate between the Oats with Almonds, and Futurelife Crunch :-)

Go check out the G-spot in Stellenbosch.. ask the locals where it is. its THE SHIZZ

OK boys here is a totally different response from the usual. Rode a 26 inch for very long time and realy loved the bike, did the Epic on it and then the 29er scene started. Eventualy I went the 29er route and it took me about 3-4weeks before I fully got used to the bike. Then I absolutely loved it. Now here is the kicker/difference, The 29er then went to the shop for repairs and I had to be back on the 26er for the past two weeks, rode various sort of terrain, including singletrack and really loose rocky climbs. The fact is that its human nature to find your new ride better, because you did a hell of a job selling it to yourself!! My unbiased opinion is as follows: The 29er is a more stable bike and the taller you are, the more that is the case. 29er climbs easier and holds its line little better. 26er feels more nimble on realy tight technical downhill singletrack. Overall synopsis is that the 29er will NOT make you a better rider, the technicall skills you need to enjoy riding stays the same. The 29er in my opinion especially for tall bigger riders means a bike that climbs better, feels more stable, but need even more skill development on tight singletrack and technical descents. With both versions you will get great value and you will enjoy riding, I still loved my 26er this morning on the tight singletrack coming down the Glen from Signal Hill. Go with the 29er, but then you need to practice and practice even more those skills, THAT ultimately makes you truly enjoy these bikes!!!

Any of you guys keen on clubbing together for the transport etc? anyone have a lift? Will give this a bash and I make an excellent slip, ask udxcob! :-)

Amen to that!!! Had to do final day of Outback with a pap like prridge back shock.. shocking :-)

I want to congratulate "Jakes" Jaco Loubser and his team on a very enjoyable and beautifull Cape Outback. The highlight were the people and the fantastic vibe in the race village. "Groot Lem" Hendrik Lemmer as "ring announcer" were a constant source of laughter with his sharp, innuendo filled witt. I have done most of the more publicised multi stage events and this one is unique. If you want a great experience that pushes you that one day further, this is the one for you! Also thanks to Chris and Rene Gouws of Sludge Sealant your support, it was awsome to have someone in the middle of the bundu cheering you on. That is the kind of commitment to the sport that wins avid support and will create disciples for your great product. Long live the Outback. Douw Steyn

hahaha! saw the inside of my own armpit from a strange angle.. had delusions on the pressures my new 29er tyres could tolerate.. with my slight 105kg frame. Definately above 2bar for me!

check under group rides, Durbanville roadies

ja nee was a long walk!! Nah im fine, luckily at Low Speed, will keep the manufacturer out of it.. needless to say upgraded immediately, to make things worse, it was on the maiden voyage of my new 29er.. The rim actually broke at the weld/joint. rode it this morning again and new set is awsome.

Check This out and I didnt even hit a ditch or anything just failed!! sent me over the bars Check this out, total catastrophic failure, and did'nt even hit a ditch!!

Mornings! Me and a my neighbour and few others ride quite regularly, I'm training for Attakwas, so lots of riding over the next few weeks. From my house its not so far on tar into the Bottelary loops/Trails We also have a shortcut with some gravel onto Meerendal and the whole Tygerberg Trail system. Obviously for both those trail systems you either join as a member or you pay per ride at the venues or into the honesty box. I also from time to time do a big ride out towards the silos and then onto the gravel road and do the Slent loop, then over to Klapmuts and then have a route all the way to the top of Backsberg/Simonsberg.. thats a monster climb,up to 850m. Those arer more or less your options from your doorstep. PM me then we can chat

Hi There, done 2 of them in PE no flats Tyres I used were Continental Gatorskins..not the lightest but bombproof. I also used slime in the tubes, Specialized have a pre-filled tube that works great. The extra weight is the peace of mind worth!! The bike course is really not tough, nice and flat with some beautiful sections next to the ocean. Good luck

Onthou dit was 29er!!

Ek kyk self na daardie fiets en natuurlik hang dit af van watter size fiets dit is, ek het gister die Large Anthem x 1 opgehang op die skaal by Cycle Lab en dit was so 12.9 kg. Dit hang ook natuurlik af van watter pedals jy opsit etc. Die paar gramme wat al hierdie fietse verskil, maak absoluut GEEN verskil tensy jy "n elite racer" is nie. Die goed wat jy na moet kyk is durability. funksioneel is daar BITTER min verskil tussen bv 'n Sram XO X9 X7 rear deraileur nie, behalwe die materiale wat hulle gebruik wat invloed het op gewig!Staal gaan altyd swaarder as Titanium wees maar gaan dieselfde funksie verrig :-) Die goed wat ek na kyk is die vurk, raam en WIELE!

I remember last year that either CWC or Cyclelab had a bike service remember to get in early!. I boxed mine and flew with it no problemo with Kalulu but far less schlep with courier service

This is totally ridiculous, These people are looking at stage races like Wines2Whales and Sani and then want to jump on that price wagon, well I've ridden both and the amount of work that went into both to build those routes were unreal and that would justify the price, for these guys to increase this fee by that much is smacking of opportunism and is just WRONG!!! I will NOT do it and whether you can afford it or not is not the issue, this is pure greed. We as Mountain bikers need to start and vote with our wallets. We need to get organised and help the people who want to experience great rides but don't know the routes

Man Dis als lekker! I cant wait to ride the Cape Pioneer next year! and its very true, if you have the skille, do it all!! Stop complaining about the cost, its supply and demand, rather focus on becoming a better rider every week! I rode all on my lonesome all the loops at Bottelary and then all those tracks at Tygerberg hills over the weekend! Wow what a privilege! for something like R500 you can join them for a year!! We are truly blessed with all the riding available, get some mates and book the house from Deon Malherbe at Eselsfontein and ride that singletrack the whole weekend, mornings and afternoons until you bliksem off the bike cause its so good!! Epic is awsome but hell, you can do a hell of a lot of similar riding if you really wanted to, at a fraction of the cost.

I have to go with the guy that said ..Hondnaai! If it aint broke why fix it

More than enough, those tracks are so smooth! its swept by the locals

Hi guys, its New Balnce Multi Sport Club. Our clubhouse is at the PP Smit Sportsgrounds in Bellville and we have a big Cycling group that goes out for group rides with all levels welcome. The club is predominantly into running, with the normal Tuesday and Thursday clubruns and weekend longruns. We are now going to try and get together the Triathletes in our club for some guidance and training mates No direct affiliation with New Balance, pretty much the same concept as the Supercycling club etc. So if there is guys and girls out there especially in the Northern suburbs that want to know more just pm me.

Hi There Dear Triathletes! Feel free to use this thread to put together group rides swim groups or Rides.

irritatink is'nt it almost like okes from certain schools

I hope all you guys get one like this ;-)

Definately going to start commuting in from Durbanville, could always hook up with you if we keep to time slots :-) will first have to do the route a few times to establish best times to ride it and riding times.. but I reckon the busier, the safer actually. Visibility and a bell is key!!
