  1. I have had both sram and Shimano . I now have the XTR 1x12 that allows precision shifting on the fly uphill ! The xt is more accurate but harder on the thumb press of the shifter. Sram is not as precise and not so good on hard uphill changes. It’d not as mechanical in accuracy but both are good. It’s comes down to budget and personal likes. I like the fact that SRam is lighter a tad but that’s if you counting grams.
  2. . Not so much CWC BUT MORE EVOBIKES. They have exclusive form agent ,very close linked to agent and they just up prices and sell at normal prices.
  3. South Africa is plagued by violent crime so much so we have the same amounts of deaths as in a war zone, just today a budy who helps with cycling crime reduction on the JHB SRPAIT trial was stabbed on his bike!. I say we must not make jokes and become apathetic - wear these black ribbons with pride and make a statement as every statement made gives us a small bit hope. If we give up more will be killed. It takes good citizens to unite and make change. The majority are good let’s stand up and be heard. Civil uprising to majored issues make positive changes. This is a national major issue.
  4. Hopefully Metro Police monitor the roads, last year the taxis nearly cut me of and I saw a small group of riders skid to a halt closing missing two taxis driving on the curb and then we witnessed some idiot taxi went on to the main road and the crossed over. Very dangerous to ride these days.
  5. Dear Throttle WTH respect let’s go through this together and keep it to the facts. You assured me payment was done instantly and must keep the goods for you. You said you would do a instant payment form same bank to same bank. The proof sent to me of payments were not recognized by the bank as legitimate a day later and dither proof two days later. It possible your intention at that time was not to pay me right away I don’t know. I then alerted you to the fact and then on the third day payment was received. I apologies for the bank not recognizing your proof of payment but the fact remains they never seen this type of proof ... The goods are in good condition, before they were packed they were also photographed. Further more I confirmed our discussion and noted the goods are sold as is in the letter with one pictures of the packed goods. There be no further comment and wish you happy riding.

  9. Event Name: Cradle Mountian Trophy When: 6 April 2019 - 7 April 2019 Where: Maropeng, Gauteng Category: MTB Welcome to the 10th edition of the most popular 2-day mountain biking stage race - The Cool Ideas Cradle Mountain Trophy. Can you believe it? The 10th edition of this awesome race. This year we’ve added some Trail Running adventures to the menu, so a great sporting weekend all round. This two-day mountain biking event always promises to be an exhilarating experience and will take place over the weekend of 6th and 7th of April 2019. This is without a doubt the most popular, engaging and spectacular 2-day event in and around Gauteng. The beauty of this event is that it takes place at Maropeng in the heart of The Cradle of Humankind, so there is no long drive to the start. And the weekend caters for riders of all abilities – offering distances from 75km, 45km to 25km. If you have done this mountain biking event before, you will know that The Cool Ideas Cradle Mountain Trophy promises a fantastic offering of single track, plus some challenging off-road and, of course, some good technical aspects. But do remember that we call this the “Mountain Trophy” for good reason. It is not all flat. We will be making good use of tracks and trails which have previously been used for private events. If you are training for Joburg2C, The Great Kei Trek, or Sani, then this must be an event that’s on your training schedule. Go to Event Page

  11. Please ride a 1x11 before you do anything. There may be very little difference. I have a 2x11 and tried a 1x11 on some realy rough stuff and hated the 1x11. Had to hop of on parts I would usually ride
  12. All of this is heavy. Check weights very little diff for a lot of money
  13. I had a chance to ride the new Levo this weekend , whhhhho whoooooo this is the best fun I had on a mountain in 25 years! The fastest growing segment of biking in the world. For good reason. There is always resistance to the unknown till you try it. We us MTB BIKERS did not want suspension on bike years ago ,the claim it was to much like a motocross.. then the massive pavlova with pages and pages of haters of the 29ers. Then it was the pages of comments on the forum moving from 3x8 to 2x10 and then pages of comments of when it went to a 1x10 ahhh what a frenzy we reached, the same thing with Ebikes. Yes they great and not for every one, I not selling my bike just yet but I will tell you a whole lot of people that could not enjoy MTB will no discover this great adverure sport with a passion!
  14. It’s realy not worth using this crap on your food. Poor Chines have mutated over the years due massive amounts of MSG, Brakes down liver, kidneys ,eye site Ect
  15. Ok ok but please give me some info on light 2,2 tires . I can’t find weights and not have loot for carbon rims.
  16. Ebike are going to be an intragel part of mountain biking - they will be the resistance like there was from the 26 inch tires to the 29 inch tire they will be the resistance like they was from a bike with out suspension to bike with shocks there will be resistance from a bike with a 1.5 inch tires to a 3 inch tires But EBIKES will be on all trials as they are the biggest thing in the USA and now in Europe . South Africans are well known slow uptakers.
  17. Starting time that are after 7 am become dangerous on hot summer days. The first riders can start at 5:30. The route was good. It was great. The only thing that got to me was the tons of raw sewage that was flowing into the river. It stunk and it goes to who how much the infrastructure is no longer. In china factory owners or municipality workers who pollute the rivers can get put to death. Now the Chines rivers after being so polluted are slowly recovering.
  18. Thanks are these proper MTB BIKE tires.
  19. Dear Hubbers. Does any one know the lightest race tubeless Mtb 2,2 tires on the market ? And where to get the? All suggestions welcome, I rode with 2,4 and 2,5 types and it was so not for racing. Grams or spec welcome Thank you.
  20. Please post a position as I was in the delta on Saturday and could not find all these new updates. I did come across a bridge fairly kindly fixing a bridge for all of us. Salute!
  21. 100 % will make you slower in a race. No question.
  22. Dear Hubbers. Does any one know the lightest race tubeless Mtb 2,2 tires on the market ? And where to get the? All suggestions welcome, I rode with 2,4 and 2,5 types and it was so not for racing. Grams or spec welcome Thank you.
  23. The same persons who opposed 29 wheels to 26er are the nay sayers for Ebikes on this forum. It’s the next biking tidal wave and all the posts in the world will not stop this magical revolution.
