    This looks like a properly fun track. Check out the Pivot team track walk and ride videos.

    If you're just riding jeep track and decent gravel roads, a HT is just fine. If its a bit rougher you will need to get used to it but a fat rear tyre (2.4 on up) is a good idea. I run a 26" enduro HT at Tokai sometimes and have also fitted an insert at the rear (Nukeproof). This combo makes a big difference to the felt impacts of rough terrain,

    You sound like a candidate for a decent gravel bike. Either that or just buy a cheap road bike for the weekly commute/tar rides.

    Hey, i'm also old, and according to my son, fat, although i disagree with the latter.

    You just do it on the job. Take stuff apart and try put it back together. If you can't you ask someone who can and after breaking things and stripping threads you'll eventually learn what not to do. Just don't start on your Epic 8 S works. Same applies to cars. 😉

    Jeez, you okes are old and fat 🙂

    I so want to like nerdy Ric, but he's just so irritating and his attempts to Warnerize his commentary is laughable. I'd be happy with Olli and Bart and a guest every now and then...

    Yes, I'm happy with the service even without an app BUT, look at how GCN + was canned. Just now Supersport make WBD an offer they can't refuse and SA gets geo blocked on the Staylive stream.

    I used Chromecast from a laptop to Xaiomi MiBox worked pretty well. Buffering was minimal.

    Alan H in 8th after being as low as 15th earlier on...Nino 35th...

    That's the same as last year. There is a streaming service for R115 per month for SA and many other countries so you can watch the elites and DH. It works fine but only on a computer. No smart TV app.

    This has just been announced by the UCI as a streaming option in SA and New Zealand. I haven't looked at the pricing yet... Checked - its R115 pm at current exchange rate. Ive signed up monthly. Not sure how it will work on my media player. https://app.staylive.io/cycling/ucimtbworldseries

    An admirably mature attitude on display. Well done!

    I second the - more modern geo and sizing vs older with fancy components - like what Bob said. The very modern slacker than 64deg enduro bikes have little place in SA terrain. Longer is also not always better from a trail riding point of view and bigger bikes don't corner was well or easily as slightly shorter bikes. That said, you'd get used to anything and adapt to whatever you get within reason.

    Eish, I'm looking for 5600 hoods right now. Ordered some knockoff on Temu, but who knows when and if they'll arrive...

    I drive through there regularly and wander around the area near the SAPS sometimes for work. No issues. I have commuted down min road Wynberg a couple of times to fetch my car and the biggest issues were the taxis. Outside rush hour I.e early on a Sunday morning is when the lowlifes come out I suspect...

    That's what I always said until a rock smacked my valve and I could not undo it without pliers. Thats once in maybe 25 years though. I still ride without caps 🙂

    Nah, I do gravel on my Steel HT. I did the PA to the Top and back on Saturday though.
  19. Headshot
    As more and more of SA's roads turn to gravel, so the demand for the bikes increases. Gravel is the new road?
  20. Headshot
    Thanks. Spent the Easter weekend there and loved it. The dry river beds have some potential for technical riding I think...

    I see a bike industry in trouble....

    Are there any decent MTB tracks in Prince Albert - nothing on Trailforks and little info elsewhere. Karoo terrain has the potential to be such fun proper mountain biking territory.
  23. Headshot
    i saw some people riding gravel bikes up Swartberg this weekend. I think they and many others decided to sell them after the descent. 🙂
  24. Headshot
    HTA from a 2011 Enduro bike. Took them 13 years. * which is not to say I don't like the new bike. I think the geo and features like a dropper seatpost are great.
  25. Headshot
    That applies to all riders, or are you saying the people who overtook you on the climb to dive into the single track ahead of you and then walk, did it on purpose?
