The Cotic would be my choice, if it rides the way it looks it will be worth the wait!!

My FS got stolen, got myself a Silverback Stride HT as interim ride and loving it!! Going to upgrade to 120 front, flat pedals with 510's and few other bits and going to keep it. There are a couple Hardcore HT FB groups around all dedicated to trail riding, I think this is where the true fun of a HT lies!

There cannot be too many of them out there. If you see I will have a handsome reward for you!!

Stolen: Marin Rift Zone 2 2018 When: 8 April 2020 Where: Hartbeespoort, North West Broke into a secured locked wendy house only took the bike. Get further details about the incident in the Stolen Bikes section

The Fork is also paired with a 100X9mm QR Hub. Will I be able to upgrade the hub to Thru-Axle, 100X12mm perhaps

Any good as entry-level forks?

Just go ride. Busted my wrist 2 weeks before S2C. Got a brace with metal suppport from the elbow to the palm of the hand. Yes it took a year to fully recover but would have anyway, I think??, Couldnt stand so had to adapt. It's all possible!! TB not technical, i would say give it shot.

Needed a skewer nut at the Sani2C. Spaz were there in full force servicing only their brand, refused to even consider helping me out! Bunch of pricks!!

What would be the best GPS device to use for uploading Navigation files supplied by event organisers when doing unmarked MTB Events.

Just went to August, no mention of the Transbaviaans, I don't think any of the event sites out there are complete, definitely a need to have one.

Ditto Izak - Love It!!

Myself and another team member of ours did our first baviaans with the Magiclights, yes it ran down but what light would not running half the night, but it NEVER died on us, I think you should check at how you manage it.Another team member rode with Cateye and I think the moon were brighter at the end.
