The new Phantom is calling my name

Renthal control goodness! Fractive tune and full service on my fork. Highly recommended! Cogent Industries will hook you up

I just want to add that after changing my GX chain at 0.5 wear for an X01 chain I am experiencing much smoother shifts both up and down my GX cassette

Made from similar stuff to the cycling ones. Vented ones also available

Go to your local motorcycle shop and pick up an MX style jersey

Probably the best trail in Gauteng that I have experienced

Buffel route at Buffelsdrift. Man it was warm!

Just ticked over 1500km and my GX Eagle chain is at 0.5. X01 chain on the way to replace it

Seems that for the steeps (of which there are basically vokol in Gauteng) the Optic is the bees knees. The Kona seems a bit more of a balanced bike. Like a slightly pumped up Trance 29

Love that Kona Process 134

Bell Sixer and Bell 4Forty are both highly recommended! Also, cleaning the helmet in the dishwasher does not seem like the smartest idea. The heat could be enough to damage the foam and the glue holding it together. Some warm water and mild detergent (shampoo for example) is recommended by helmet manufacturers and is how I have always done it

Select on sale at Evobikes now. Just saying

A Pike will be a huge step up from a Recon, no matter what the model. It is a more complex fork, so some setup to get the volume spacers, pressure, rebound and compression will take a little time.

Don't get the hybrids here cause the market does not want them. Very happy with my 2.0 GX-R RAV4

Not really a trail, just a reserve area in Germiston just off the Edenvale off ramp from the R21. Been riding it since I was a kid. Good for a quick after work ride

From the Bill Stewart Reserve off Fishers Hill

The Super Deluxe I ordered off eBay arrived:

1000km on GX, chain at 0.25 stretch. Smooth and reliable

New stem and Tyre, both from fellow Hubbers. Pity that the local Maxxis distributor doesn't seem to bring the Maxxis Rekons in. One ride done and I’m very impressed

Got some 2.4 WT Rekons coming. Really keen to see how they do based on the good reviews I have seen online. Not expecting as much grip as the DHF up front (which is truly epic now that I trust it), but a lot less rolling resistance and a bit more braking grip at the rear than the current Forekaster I am running

Hennops MTB. I think there might even be camping facilities there. Look them up on Facebook

That new Process is bevok! Loving the look of it

Compared to a top line Fizik I would not say so. Besides, what price for comfort?

The Fabrics are very comfy! This one is on another level

Got me an SQ Lab saddle. Very different feeling, but I think I'm gonna get in with it
