  1. Route that brake cable on the inside of the fork leg! Don't want it getting it caught on a branch or a rock!
  2. Read a thread on MTBR about this cassette. Seems there are some issues with the chain climbing off when in the biggest sprocket and backpedaling (not sure why one would do that, but anyway). Apparently a 6mm offset chainring helps a bit to solve the issue
  3. Dankie Ooms!
  4. Hi All Looking at getting some slightly less beefy and faster rolling tyres for my Trance 29. The stock DHF / DHR II are really a bit overkill. I was considering the 2.4WT Rekons, but they don't seem to be available locally. Any other suggestions? Tyres will be going onto the 30mm inner width Giant TRX wheels
  5. Had a look at the geometry numbers. 2 degrees on the seat tube, 3cm on the seat tube and 8mm on the reach separate this bike from the Trance 29. Would love to ride them back to back
  6. Never had an issue with my Guides. I'll keep an eye out for any trouble!
  7. Nice upgrade to my brakes courtesy of a fellow hubber:
  8. Holy smokes I just messed myself! https://www.pinkbike.com/news/ibis-ripley-new-first-look-2019.html
  9. good video on the subject I'm super happy on my Trail Bike!
  10. The yellow (I think) loop goes up the path on the left (from the bottom of the climb). The red loop comes down on the path on the right. If people are on the correct path there is no issue
  11. Did the 30km loop on Saturday. Can't complain about the paths being overgrown, though I did not do the last single track right before the big rock face. Enjoyed every second of my ride. As for the "Tree Dodging" section, just do the climb up to the start, klap it, then do the climb again!
  12. Shot T-Bob. Shot Jacques a mail, I'm sure we can make a plan
  13. Thanks Jacques! Will get back to you ????????
  14. Thanks Ben. Cogent looking for R400 a day in rental fees
  15. Thanks! Will speak to him
  16. Hi all Looking to get hold of a Shockwiz for a couple of weeks to validate my suspension settings. If anyone can assist, please send me a PM. Happy to pay for the use thereof!
  17. Whereabouts is the trail in the second pic?
  18. First time at Thaba Trails. Awesome spot to ride
  19. My bad!
  20. Keen to try my hand at the Karkloof round later this year. some pics and footage of the terrain would be most appreciated to see what I would be getting myself into!
  21. Looks like the top of the line Reign. Either 2018 or 2019 model
  22. I'll try better next time sir!
  23. Picked this beauty up today. Did a quick up and down in the road and it pedals like an absolute dream! Can not wait for my first proper ride on it. Thanks to Ridgeway Cycles for organizing it for me.
  24. Beautiful! So much of want!
