Good day Hope I can get some advise on smart indoor trainer options for me and my wife to use. We both own MTB's not same group set and opposite spectrum in terms of sizing. Without breaking the bank on extra road bike/s to connect to a direct drive trainer, the only option I can think of is a Wahoo snap to be used with out current bikes (ease of setup is also essential)? Anyone have experience using this with mountain bikes? Any other viable options anyone can think of? Thanks

Good day trust everyone is well. So I would appreciated your input, my electronic window shopping the past month has come up with 5 bikes I'm interested in getting as replacement for my Titan Sonic Pro 2017. They are all within the exact same budget bracket, there is 2 hardtail and 3 dual sus, the components are also varied - the only common theme are that all marketed/classified as trail mtb (120mm - 140m). Weekend trail rides will be the usual environment. The 6 bikes (including mine) in order of my current preference are 1. Giant Trance 2 - 2016 2. Scott Spark 970 - 2019 3. Silverback Stratos Al5 - 2019 4. Keep my Titan Pro - 2017 5. Trek Roscoe 7 - 2019 with upgrades later 6. Silverback Slade Comp 2020. The last two are new, the rest are quality used. What order would you put them in?

I currently have a Titan Sonic Pro 2017, the bicycle has served me well over the last six months, but my riding needs have changed over the last 4 months. I initially did you run of the mill trails, but have since then joined JMBC and do regular rides with Woesrand out here in the Wesrand Jhb. The trails are predominantly mild but they do get pretty rowdy from time to time, and as I have been riding with the more advanced groups I have started to note the limitations of the sonic (as mentioned awesome bike but you can see it has XC in mind). I have now come across a Scott Spark 970 2019 brilliant nick and at a bargain price point. I only have two concerns the frame size is Large and I'm 1.9m (on the chart I could find I'm exactly on the line between L / XL) and secondly I believe it fall under Scott's trail bike series but with 120mm travel compared to the 100mm on the sonic is it that more capable. Any advise will be greatly appreciated

Good day Gents For various reasons (predominately finances) I have only 3 tires available for my bike I have 2 Maxxiss Aspens and 1 Maxxiss Crossmark (all are 29 x 2.25) would you suggest I mix and match (what would front and what rear) or should I just run both aspens? Any advice will be appreciated.

Any news on the opening? January has come and went without any further updates.

I just had a look at the weather forecast, looks like a few days of solid rain preceding and on race day. Its gona be wet and wild Any tips from fellow bikehubbers for riding in mud?

Thanks appreciate - will touch base with you should things change.

Thanks they quoted me around that number. Appreciate the feedback

Good day Gents Had a single spoke brake yesterday (being a bit enthusiastic on a downhill section) which I want to take in for repairs today. Can someone please advise roughly price wise what Im looking at for the repair - I dont mind spending the necessary funds to get the job done just want it done at fair value ideally and as Im new to the mtb bug I am unsure what the going rate for such a repair will be. Any advices will be appreciated.

Any oval chainring for Shimano M8000 1x11 - want to convert my 2x11

Is Bikemob situated in Gauteng? Or do they have a branch this side? I checked now their website it shows they are sitauted in Cape Town.

Good day Gents Read some good reviews on the enduro seal and Im keen to redo my tires with them, other than online (trying to avoid delivery charges) is there anyone in Gauteng that stocks the product?

Good day Gents Anyone had any recent experiences at this trail. From what I read up its is open to the public and you can give a donation to assist with security. We are a small group of 4 blokes who want to try it out Sunday. Any feedback on the trail, security etc. would be appreciated.

Any more news on the opening date? Its been very quiet on their FB page.

Any more news on this bike park? Supposedly opening this weekend but cant find any info?

The new Titan Cyphers also look legit

Good day Gents Just want to get some advise, so I have read up a few articles on the trail and me and a friend is keen to take it on this coming weekend. Has anyone done it recently who can advise in terms of safety and best place to park your vehicle (thus accessible by 6 am). Thanks any advise will be appreciated.
