And the Renault Kangoo

But on the other hand, they do far more maintenance on the running/walking/hiking trails than the MTB trails

Got a brand new 29" 2.5 DHF if you are keen? Never been used

Hahaha, thanks guys, appreciate the encouragement, have to admit, it was a little tongue in cheek at the time, but just hopped on the scale now and I am back over 100 November was a bad month, both my wife and I just feel a little burnt out so the amount of take aways and junk food has been ridiculous, and to add to that I did VERY little riding in November as well, but we will bounce back, I am on leave now so have lots of time to go ride, hopefully I can still make my goal of 95 by the end of the month

It is a bit worse than normal there, but nothing like the above section

This morning

You mean this section? It is all still very rideable, it just depends on if you kind getting dirty and soaking your shoes

Just a quick note, it is VERY muddy at the moment, if you are going to go ride there, just be prepared, maybe run some "wet" chain lube, and just becareful, some places the grass is so long you can literally not see your front wheel

Quiet because I am ashamed ????

When I was riding dirt bikes I would get severe cramps after riding, not much helped for them, then I read a thing about pickle juice and how that helps with cramping, long story short, it worked for me, eat a pickle and take a swig of pickle juice before and after and I never had cramps like that again, haven't needed to do it with the cycling though

Shimano M7120, these levers are actually for the M7000, but with some very slight modification they fit very nicely

Some bling levers to replace the one damaged in a fall

Some shops in JHB have Rekon 2.6, I could get and ship up to you if you want?

You are correct, there are some big muddy patches in places, after that first tar uphill going down that dirt road, there was a big pool of water at the bottom, then in the 2nd yellow/red section there are a couple muddy patches and in the slow reeds there is some mud, and some on the way up to the small dam, but overall it really isn't too bad, we only finished up to the small dam and then my nephew got hit by some serious heat exhaustion so we cut the ride short and went back to the car

That is what I have done, I have a Rapide 30T chain ring, used with an SLX cassette and SLX chain with a SRAM link, shifting is smooth and crisp, no problems

The recent rains made this an interesting ride

Yup, Trail Wide 29", I wasn't expecting it to be as big of an upgrade, but I am sure I have saved close to 1kg of weight, the bike feels amazing now

Not difficult, but, guess what I got...

Post office should send you a message, I know when I ordered in the past the app said it was in SA but I only got a notification to collect like 3 months after it landed here

There is this dude in Capetown making board holders https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/884000312405840/

For anyone who is looking for flats, I was at Sprocket and Jack the day, they seemed to quite a variety of Leatt shoes available

Got some new protection for my noggin, Bontrager Rally wavecel

Funny how different we all are, just tried on the Tactic 3, it fits horribly for me, has 2 horrible pressure point at the back of my head, but the Ambush felt pretty good

Buffel is AWESOME

I also bought a Large Speedframe, based on the sizing guide it should have been right, but it was a tiny bit to big sadly and now there is pretty much no stock worldwide I will have a look at the Tactic as well, thanks for the info
