  1. This was a big week for me. Went from full suspension Giant Anthem 26er to Giant XTC 29er hardtail, from 9 to 10 speed, from SRAM to Shimano shifting and brakes, from Qr in front to thru-axle and tapered headset. WOW a lot has changed in a short time. I do miss my 26er Full Suss. Need to get used to everything. But the speed is awesome. Went for triple blade crank, dont use the small blade to much. Ride in different gears as to 27 speed. l LOVE my Fox fork. Great for heavy blokes and cheaper on maintenance. if you go for a rear shox I recommend a Fox RP2 or RP23. I also looked at the Vida1, was afraid of the 20 speed. The rest is awesome. Somebody is selling them on the hub for R15000. The ZTR Crest wheels got a weight limit of 85kgs. I rate these Giant XTC frames. Give CWC a call for a price. Good Luck. There is to many choices.
  2. Ill sort you out tomorrow. Have helped a few people with this n the past.
  3. Ill buy the Giant because off the after sale service. Rocky Mountain bikes are awesome, dont like the fact that like Trek the agency change hands often.
  4. Talked to the guys at Cape Cycle Systems, said they are bringing them in this year. Dont want to go back to trigger shifters.
  5. Talking on cellphones while cycling is dangerous. Taking pictures while cycling is dangerous. Climb of your bike when you want to do this. Saw a tandem going down at the bottom of Chappies. The woman was out cold. Hope she is fine.
  6. Why tamper with stuff that works.
  7. Talked to the bikers involved,asked us to please not pass the white line. There was a lot of small groups coming from the back passing on the wrong side of the rode on dangerous corners between Cape Point and Simonstown. No marshals to be seen. Other point I want to make. The roadraces are becoming as expensive as the mountainbike events. I'm involved with mtb events. As soon as you start building singletracks,the cost go up. That roads have been there for ages, just need to be marshalled. Don't know why we started so late. Our group started 7:40am (L). If it was really hot the medical staff would have had there hands full. The roads have been busier than it would have been if we started earlier. Dont know why they never cater for enough Coke, especially for the guys at the back. Please organise something to drink at the finish. I think you guys are lucky it wasnt as hot as the previous days this week. Pull up your socks organisers. If the price go up,so does the expectation to have a super event. Events arent cheap anymore,get it right. I enjoyed my ride, just a few small stuff to be tweaked. To the guys that was in the accident,hope you recover fast. Never nice to see fellow cyclist in an accident.
  8. A friend of mine cycled with a guy on a KTM mtb near Stellenbosch. The guy did not know how the gears worked and even fell of the bike. Said his son bought it for him. Its a carbon frame. Bike R30000 plus. My friend cycled all the way to his house.
  9. Does anybody know about a stolen KTM in Boland area.
  10. Shan Wilson imported Kona bikes, dont know if he is still importing them.

  15. Thanks,we try to keep everybody happy. Not always possible but we try. Our main objective is the route/ singletrack.
  16. No, its a UCI thing. We are constantly looking for photos our camera footage for our hub page under Routes & Trials and our Bainsmtbtrials Facebook page. The farmers just dont want any scramblers passing trough.
  17. Sorry you feel that way. The cameras is a UCI thing, did not know about it. The no board had a timing chip in and was R35. Goodie bags in general does not have the same content than 5 years ago. The Gravel Travel money we use to build singletrack at Welvanpas. We are building another 3km singletrack section at this moment. Glad you enjoy our trials. Go and check out our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/BainsMTBtrails
