  1. how long do you guys recommend before stripping and checking what's left of the sealant? checked my tyres yesterday after like 5 months and found like 20ml of stans left from the first fill of like 120ml per tyre. Happy to see no lumps or clumps of dried sealant
  2. It amazes me that one can respond to an online post questioning their service levels in 2 hours but can't respond to their client in the better part of a month.
  3. Hey guys Anyone here riding the Titan switch elite? Very keen on your opinions on this. Any issues with mechanical disc brake setup? Thanks

    I got R75 and 2 vouchers for service(1 major,1 minor) Not sure if the service vouchers are for free services or discounted costs...
  5. I would consider the Titan range of bikes, especially due to the multi user warranty. When it comes time to upgrade, the buyer would have peace of mind as the warranty passes over. Furthermore, The range looks pretty comprehensive and you're bound to find something to suit your needs. https://www.titanracingbikes.com/mtb-range/
  6. lol, definitely don't want the kitchen sink along on a ride. few basics would be handy. same as T- Bob pretty much 2 tubes, bombs & adaptor a pocket windbreaker wallet, keys & Phone Multi tool and levers basic 1st aid kit. Would prefer a backpack.
  7. Hi Guys, Keen to know whats the most popular hydration packs you guys are using when out on trails etc. Had a look at some and would like opinions Higher end of my budget - https://www.camelbak.com/en/packs/R01010--MULE?color=23da9b7298024f0f87ca35d6e5883509 Mid range - https://www.firstascent.co.za/aqueous-ii-2l-hydration-pack Low end- https://www.animalgear.co.za/oztrail-backpack-3l-camo-hydration-pack Keen on the oztrail based on price firstly and then somewhat matches my camo green frame silverback. Just not sure on its overall quality. As with most things in life, do i buy once cry once and get a Camelbak? Thanks guys
  8. Went to my lbs today and walked out with a pair of Shimano Am5. I liked the sneaker look of these.... And if ever needed I could add cleats. My main issue was no one in Dbn had five tens, or any other shoes to try on etc..then the cost..... The Am5 were a very good deal compared to whatever else is available online. Rode in them for an hour this evening.... Feels good thus far. Thanks everyone for the advice etc.
  9. Thanks guys...... Will check out these recommendations. Hopefully will find something this weekend.
  10. Hi guys, Been reading shoe reviews/posts here and need some advice/opinions please. I've just started cycling having bought a Silverback MTB. Been using my Nike wild trail shoes and after a while i end up with sore feet and would like proper shoes for flat pedals. Alot of recommendations for Five Ten shoes and I've just seen these Shimanos https://www.buycycle.co.za/mountain-bike/shimano-am500-mountain-bike-shoe-black/ Problem is I'm in Dbn and no local store keeps them What are the size cuts like....Are they normal....ie Size 9 in a normal shoe will be the same fit as a Five ten size 9....Buying online means chancing it with sizes but seems I'll have to. Then the cost of Five Ten Freeriders are almost R700 more than the Shimano's in the above link. Are they worth the extra cost? I'll be venturing into trail riding soon and would like something suited to this. Thanks in advance.
  11. Went along today hoping to get my 1st mtb....was looking at the Silverback spectra sport, and as luck would have it...Not in Stock. It was available in another province,but rather than waiting for that to arrive, I opted for and rode out on the Spectra comp.....can't wait to take it out in the dirt. The military green colour though, really needs to grow on me. Nonetheless. ..onward to new adventures for Me.
  12. Hey guys, looking for some advice on these 2 bikes. https://silverbacklab.com/bike-model/mountainbikes/spectra-sport/ and https://titanracingbikes.com/product/rogue-sport/ they're both evenly specc'd bikes from my extremely limited knowledge and was hoping for some insight/feedback etc My brother has a Silverback road bike and based on his good experience thus far, i'm leaning toward the silverback but not discounting the Titan. The titan bike is a bit cheaper from my lbs than the Silverback Anything i should be aware/cautious of ,with either of the above 2. I looked at 2nd hand bikes and haven't found something that really stood out for my budget.(R8500 max). Thanks in advance.
