  1. What is the cross cape route for interest sake, cost, accomodation etc..?
  2. Titan Cypher carbon ultimate. Fox suspension, full xt components . Carbon bar, seat post. My wife is really loving the geo and way this rides.
  3. Share this with 4x4 forum community asap.
  4. Very sad, 51 years is not old at all, jeez like.
  5. Saw that as well, she is on a different bike. Its crazy how good this is for Titan, there bikes are really good. Would be cool to know the specs of each like you said.
  6. Lets talk bikes of the epic. The Titan girls are doing so dam well. Does Bianka have a carbon ultimate, sid fork, wonder what specs that bike has. I kind of feel they doing so well versus international riders who have unlimited budgets for high end bikes which weigh less than 11kg, all while our ladies in red might have heavier bikes, but it does not seem to make such a difference? On that note, i see tons of spez's and scotts, not many super calibers. The santa cruz's look cool as well. Some riders riding with inserts it seems as well, which adds to the overall weight, but rather safe than sorry. Would be cool to know what some of these rides weigh as us normal people are always so fascinated with getting weight down on our bikes. I recon anything under 12kg with all there gear on should be just fine?
  7. Just read Sofia and Keegan are married, never knew that. Thought I would share for what it's worth
  8. O my word, this is bad!! How do vehciles get to those single track areas in any case, this is a nightmare......
  9. How can there not be enough water! They know what weather / heat is on its way. This is crazy, really feel sorry for the guys and girls.
  10. Cut off, how many hours do they have to complete entire stage, or do they cut you off at water points if they see you not going to make it? Thats really sad.
  11. **** that's not good to hear. How is the heat in the tents, probably bad in the day?
  12. Why is there a water shortage? Can't imagine how hot the tents must be at night as well, on thorns....must be rough. Really not good to hear.
  13. You pay 100k plus and have to walk, it does look really steep but then zig zag and try reduce incline. Sometimes walking hurts you more, rather just get it over with. Unless it's really loose and you spinning, then I get it.
  14. Hi guys. Just arrived at accomodation in Belville, fetching son at Stellies tomorrow, going early to cape epic Monday morning. Brought mountain bikes with, we keen to do a ride, all three of us Sunday. Just a short 20km. Was thinking Jonkers, but with the Enduro I suspect we can't explore a bit, never been there. Or should we look at something around Belville, Durbanville? Don't know the area at all, but if myself, mommy, mini me can explore some cool trails, it would be an awesome Sunday.
  15. Post of the year!
  16. First timer. We staying in green point accomodation. Can you walk, ride, all the way to the start, or is it fine driving there, finding parking, somewhere around the start area?
  17. What is the best food to take with, bananas etc...or are there food feeding zones?
  18. I will probably opt for a megene light, thats 3k, and a megen computer, thats 3.5k, both brand new, so should be sorted for 6.5k all in.
  19. Thanx everyone, Wolver, maybe this could work. If i paired it with his phone, maybe his watch, which gets alerts anyways, could allert him, vibrate, make a sound, wonder if that would work.....His phone is in the back of his shirt or in the side pocket [ciovita cargo pants] So my other options would be: upgrade to a new garmin watch, then at least he has a decent watch, will pair with varia, or Find second hand edge, or Try use app and test the waters. But as you say, its safer, need to make a plan very soon. Thanx for the help so far.
  20. Hi guys I am looking to buy my son a smart tail light so he can be warned of approaching vehicles [road bike]. The issues are this. He does not have a bike computer, nor garmin watch, he uses my old Huawei GT4 and it actually works like a bomb for him. The problem is how on earth do i do this at minimal expense. Garmin and Meganne smart tail lights [dont need video recording] are say 3k. Then an entry level bike computer is a few thousand. Other option is to upgrade his watch to a Garmin, then he can get alerts on that? I recall when these tail lights were launched some had a handle bar display with tiny led lights that warn you, can you still get this or do you have to pair it to a bike pc, watch? I guess he could pair to his iphone, but not keen on mounting that on the front end of the bike, or are there tricks i am missing here?
  21. Has anyone bought this little guy, and if so, does it work fine?
  22. Thanx, will do
  23. Hi gents, the small Titan tailgate one, how have you found this, could you really load 3 x bikes? https://bike-addict.co.za/products/titan-tailgate-pro-50 I have a roller shutter on my bakkie, the available width is 1.1m, so cant use these large standard sized ones. Seems only option is the Titan pro 50, which for the price, does not look bad actually.
