+1 on the proframe. I struggled breathing in a full face for my first ride, especially on the ups, but now remove the padding on the ups, and have been very happy since. Has definitely saved me a couple of times, and finding that I'm opting for the full face more often than not.

What time do these trails close? Getting my weekend warrior back on and would be great to fit in a ride after work during the week.

Awesome thanks! Just dropped it off at Cycle Teknix to strip down and service. I'll likely ride these out for awhile then once the bug has truly bitten again look at getting a dual suspension. What would be a good entry price for something that I'm not going to want to upgrade again in a couple of months?

Howsit Guys, Ex-weekend warrior returning to the trail in Cape Town. Back in 2013 I'd be on the trail every weekend, but unfortunately stopped when the group I was riding with bailed. Finally getting back into it with my partner and a couple of friends and would love some help with the following: I have a Trek 6300 recently serviced and in good condition & a Merida Matts 1000Lite also in good condition but with a light layer of rust creeping in on the chain & derailer ect. from sitting in the garage ever since I stopped riding. Am I looking at replacing parts or will a good service do the job? Are these bikes still good enough for now or should I be looking at upgrading sooner than later? (Just for weekend warriors around tracks like Meerendal & Contermanskloof) Any advice will be appreciated, thanks gents
