  1. Anyone got a new Trance 29 to post?
  2. George at Mean Machine Cycles has some Kona Concept 2 rigid forks in his shop. Perfect for that bike!
  3. Do it! Just be sure to use a chamferless 26mm socket. No need to do a lower leg service to pop off a volume spacer! Though it is easy to do the lower service. Just need the oil, brake cleaner and a couple of crush washers
  4. Upgraded my Fox 34 to 130mm with a new damper and air shaft. Also ditched the front lockout. Thanks to Jacques at Cogent Industries for getting me the parts ????????
  5. Spot on sir!
  6. Went through this excercise with my 940 as you can see from the link Chris posted. The fork come with the maximum number of volume spacers installed. With the correct sag it was too progressive and harsh on the wrists whilst leaving too much travel untapped. One less spacer, 10PSI more pressure and it is butter smooth
  7. Yup, hope Pro 4. Much tighter than the stock Syncros hub. 8 degree engagement I believe. You can get tighter if you go for a DT Swiss hub with the 54 tooth ratchet system. Takes it down to 6 degree engagement and sounds like a big Marlin on the line
  8. Got me a new rear hub with much better engagement than the stock unit. Bike feels a lot more responsive now. Big shout out to Nic the Wheelbuilder for his help!
  9. Did you import that or from a local supplier?
  10. Big shoutout to @Farrnus and his team. Bought two pairs of gloves last week and had them the following day. One pair of gloves arrived slightly damaged. Dropped Farrnus a PM with pics and had a new pair delivered yesterday. Awesome service! The gloves are great as well. Super comfy and can handle a crash
  11. Want to order two pairs of gloves but shipping is being added. Please help!
  12. Hit Hennops MTB for the first time. Very lekker venue
  13. Yes sir. Take my advice: just do it!
  14. New bike Friday!
  15. Went there yesterday, had a fantastic ride (and a proper bail on the last downhill)! Noticed plenty of walkers on the MTB trails.
  16. Ignore.
  17. Great event. Enjoyed it thoroughly!
  18. Picked this up today! Shot to Dirt Merchant for finding it for me
  19. Hi all Rob here from Bedfordview in JHB. Back on the MTB after an 18 year break. I picked up a second hand KTM Ultra Sport from a pal. Done a few rides on the Spruit and enjoyed it thoroughly (apart from binning it on both rides). Thinking a soft tail might have been a better choice to go for Hoping to explore a few more trails round JHB.
