Its the reason I chose the new frame and fork I just got. Will see how it rolls when my buddy gets his 650B wheels built up next week

I was trying to learn to j-hop yesterday over a trunk on my 26" hardtail to improve my "intermediate skills", now you expect me to do it on a 29" bike, bwahh ha ha. I'll only be able to bunnyhop a twig then.

Oi, or just can't afford it at the moment I'm going the inbetweener route

The problem is you went to the rip off of Sportsmans Warehouse.

You heard it here first

I would say R25 max, better at R20. A place like Giba is R40 a day.

- Now there is a choice for everyone.

Don't flatter yourself, please.

Not sure I would be suggesting the blue route at Giba Gorge for a beginner/ noobie, rather go with the orange route if you do. There is a track in Waterfall you can ride, not done it myself yet, but only heard good things.

I did not for one second think that the OP was being derogatory or had a problem with "spandex". He just mentions seeing a lot of it nowdays not having ridden in Tokai for 10 years, maybe its you that needs to get over yourself.

"With a sprint finish to the 5th round of the UCI World Championship XC, Nino Schurter takes another win on his 650b equipped Scott carbon hardtail. Dispite suffering a flat tire. Congrats to Nino, Scott Bikes, DT Swiss, and Dugast tires."

Maybe look at just replacing the frame, if its to small.

When you say a bunnyhop, what height are we talking? Over a log, branch or twig?

Damn it, back to beginner status

You don't what?

Agreed, and fixed.

Possibly riding with cleats would make you an intermediate rider, also being able to hit a berm/jump properly. You should be able to fix/ service the basics on your bike and even know what all the parts are called.

Hi, I will ask again. Are the specials for the day only, or does the special from the day before carry over if there is still stock?

I'm afraid not, have no desire at all to get a 29er. For KZN trails its not needed.

I have not. Why? When I have two perfectly great 26" bikes that does the same job if not better then any 29er.

I wish you had been my science teacher, it all makes so much more sense now

Have you ridden with cleats and SPD pedals before? Its best to practise on a grassy field

Don't forget to come back and tell us we were right

Some say, that he lives in a haunted mansion

Sorry to hear
