    Bought it from another Hubber

    This is probably not the right place, but it is a difficulty buying during lockdown...so here goes... I made a deposit for a kids bike for my 18month old, problem is I can't get a hold if it because of lockdown. Are courier companies allowed to go and fetch it for me on the level4 lockdown?

    That must be one of the nicest bikes I have EVER seen, she must be a pleasure to shred down the trails!

    Grease_Monkey did you find my calling card on your bakkie? ???? I also went for a solo ride, bust my tyre through the rock garden just after full flow. Had to run the last bit back to the carpark, thank goodness for flats! And here I thought Eliminator's are bomb proof. A fat plug or two should do the job though.

    Looks lekker, still on my bucket list. Nice little burn there at the end from your wife/lady friend

    Hi there, is it just me, or does everyone need to log in EACH time we visit the website? I sign in almost daily, why is there no "remember me" option?

    And the flipside of that is just as frustrating. There are a pair of Jawbreakers for sale, which I really would like to buy. Been trying to get a hold of the seller since Monday, the 17th. No response. Nada.

    Took the new fork up to the top to get her dialed in. Waaay better than stock

    thanks for the invite...
  13. Jako De Wet
    yeah, but now both the main adult members need to achieve 50K points (or combined 100K) a year to get to Diamond...tough ask

    Got some fresh rubber after taking the XC stuf off after W2W 2.3 Aggressor R and 2.6 Eliminator F Can't wait to go and hit Helderberg / GSpot with these bad boys!
  15. Jako De Wet
    They made us start at 06:00 on Sunday (Day3 Chardonnay) for the semi-final, so I am sure they will move up the starting times for the final.

    It was awesome! Will definitely be doing this again. Great experience with amazing trails. Luckily us WCapers can ride most of these gems any day. Super well organized and seeding works really well so you never get stuck on single track etc. Maar nou gaan ons eers braai.

    DieselInDust, I should have listened to you...hindsight ne Totally destroyed both sets of brakes just after portage, had too walk the big downs with sharp turns at the end, last big downhill I got off the bike to run down and noticed I had 8 broken spokes!! Wheel trashed so ran the last 2kms. Still managed a 4:30 so I was happy. Was actually fun riding in that weather but the bikes took a massive beating. Today was good with lots of guys flying past with fresh legs as they didn't ride yesterday. A little broken, but last stretch tomorrow. First W2W, will be one for the books!

    Why is the rain so heavy on brake pads? Because of the mud on the rotors?
  19. Jako De Wet
    Yip, someone will drop us off Friday morning and pick us up again. Will drive through ourselves Saturday/Sunday. @CJ Van: Ja nee, en in daai koue weer gaan daar anyways nie veel wees om te sien deur die skipant nie
  20. Jako De Wet
    Um the car will be in Lourensford...car will be fine for day 2
  21. Jako De Wet
    Can anyone do a bag drop on race morning? We are not sleeping in the tents, live close enough, so driving through each day. I was wondering if we can pack a bag with warm clothes for afterwards on day 1?
  22. Jako De Wet
    Will be my first as well and I am contemplating wearing my wetsuit...
  23. Jako De Wet
    Super amped, pity my first one wont be basking in the glorious sunshine, but nothing a base layer and a rain jacket can't fix.
  24. Jako De Wet
    So far the weather looks GREAT for next weekend. Luckily this is Cape Town so it will probably still change at least 4 times before then.
  25. Jako De Wet
    haha, I know, I have ridden Lourensford a few times, so at least I am prepared for that. Just going to wing the rest.
