Sounds lekker. From what time will you guys practice?

Thank you very much. I was planning on putting a dropper post on. Will just have to do it sooner then.

HiHowic does have a lot of accommodation. You should come right on the net or air b&b even. On the karkloof road there are a few guesthouses that mostly cater for the mtb community.

Sounds great. Im a rookie to mtb and ride a hardtail. Will i be fine with the enduro? I ride karkloof a lot but take the b lines.

Ill do that when it’s on. Thanks. May i bother you with another newbie question then? It says in the specs that it’s tubeless ready. Is that just the wheels or the tires too? It’s 29x2,3 ground control in front and 29x2,1 fast trak rear. Was it necessary to buy new tires or could i just have converted them to tubeless by putting tape and slime in?

Ok thanks Ive been running the tires it came out with on 2 bar for both.

Are you maybe able to give me a guideline on the pressures i should start with? You know it’s a hard tail bike and im a big guy weighing in @ 120kg.

Haha Thank you very much. Now that’s how i learn.

That combo sounds lekker.

Hi. The grid was just a recommendation from the local store. The guys i ride with said the 2,35 will hold me back a lot as im still unfit and working on it. already got the ikons. Thank you very much for your input. Ill see how it goes and take it from there. But i will definitely take it into consideration with my next order.

Good evening everyone Im very new to mtb. I have the standard specialized tires on my rockhopper expert. I’m going over to tubeless now and have ordered the maxxis ikon 29” 2.2 for front and rear on recommendation of the guys i ride with that have a lot of experience. They also tide with these tires. The local bike store i buy from recommend a fast rolling rear tyre 2.2 and a grid 2.35 in front. I ride mostly trails here in kzn and once a week tar. Did i make the correct decision? Want to maybe ride an enduro race or 2 this year.

Did the STIHL Sharks Trail Adventure this morning. Very nice race in the shongweni valley.

Took me for a little ride in Hilton this morning.

Good evening everyone. I just got into mountain biking and here is my specialized rockhopper expert 29” L. Loving every moment on it.
