  1. I was a 146kg rider now 125 and can vouch for the 32mm Rapide rims. Used to constantly break spokes after the rim upgrade not a single spoke broke over 2500ks.
  2. Hi Guys What is your views on persons that don't want to enter events but joins the event just after the start and bypass the finish line or even better finishes off in the finishing area and want all of the chill zone benefits. Was recently part of a event with 68 riders where we had 2 pirate rides and they feel they did nothing wrong and that it is a free country where they can do what they want. The event was between 2 coastal towns this was on a route that was created by the race organizers where farmers permission was required. Regards
  3. Done close to 1100k's on the Makrodale and lately it keeps breaking.... 2 weeks ago broke 2 spokes (kerb jumping) 1 week ago broke another spoke (kerb jumping) Today jumped on a small BMX track back wheel buckled and ate the rear derailleur, Every thing that broke was self inflicted and will not happen with a average sized rider. I am a solid 136 Kgs in weight and no Game/Makro bike would last a month with a fat rider like me, I do ride hard and fast. Further I can not complain about the service/ride quality of the bike. Future upgrades(Complaints) 1. Tubeless conversion (metal shaving in rims ate 2 tubes) 2. 2 x 11 gearing (3 x 9 to much overlapping battling to spin on uphills) 3. Front air suspension(damping is good but too bouncy always locked out) Took my previous old faith full bike the other day for a ride and the Cannondale ride quality and ergonomics is spot on for the longer rides. Regards
  4. Good day This Makro special might look like a armgat bike which it is but for some of us this is the ultimate.Out of the box setup was extremely easy and any person with a set of Allen keys. I will post some more pics tonight and a small review after I've did some cycling.
  5. Good day I collected a Trail 5 Medium from Amanzimtoti this afternoon. Not bad for the price.
