I'm not 100% sure where the Chapmans peak lookout point is but yes the climb is steep, I go as far as the start of donkey trail.

He was headed back down towards the dam, so hopefully he was seen by someone!

Yes he had a knife! I have let SANParks know, hopefully they will get some kind of patrolling going on!

It was between 1030/1045… I thought the same thing, but it happened so quickly and the guy was gone in a matter of seconds! I ride that route pretty regularly and never thought this would happen in a million years! All I can say is reconsider your solo missions, I know I won’t be riding alone again!! I haven’t yet notified SANParks, but thanks for the suggestion and I will get onto them immediately! They definitely need to have more active patrolling on that side of the mountain!

No, it was up on the mountain heading towards donkey trail, according to strava its called "Concrete Climb"... its the switch backs on silvermine side

Yeah I did, It's an 044 number, which should mean it's a 44mm offset right? But the app says it's a 42 under the serial number... so I dunno, but CCS has been in touch, so I'm sure it'll all be sorted!

Hey DieselnDust, Yeah, it seems as though there must have been a breakdown between the LBS and the local supplier... all the points you made were made clear to me by the LBS. That's why I ordered the 180mm conversion kit when I bought my fork, with the stated delivery time of the kit being a couple of months after I ordered, which I was totally fine with, as I say, this was discussed with me so I knew what to expect, the only "extra" cost stated to me was potentially the fitment of the kit. The offset is another issue, it's not what I ordered, but because the fork had been cut and fitted to my bike I didn't have many options, on top of which the information fed to me was that CCS had it as a 51mm offset. But, because I didn't want to make anyone else's life difficult, I settled for the 42mm... all I wanted was my 180mm kit. Matt from CCS has contacted me though, so I'm sure the issue will be resolved!

Hey hubbers, Around 7 months ago (December 2019) I purchased my Lyrik Ultimate from Bike Addict, I ordered the fork with 51mm offset and 180mm of travel, pretty standard RS options right? Apparently not in South Africa... according to Wayne from Bike Addict, CCS (Cape Cycle Systems) "doesn't import the 180mm version"... I was told that they could "order in the 180mm conversion kit" for my 170mm fork, and, that this would be done and fitted by Jan/Feb 2020, well, that didn't happen. Then it was changed to Feb/March and then March/April... but then COVID happened, soo that didn't happen either, understandably. During the height of the pandemic I would occasionally e-mail Wayne from Bike Addict just to remind him and make sure that things were on track, so that once business opened up again somewhat the process could run smoothly and I could finally have the 180mm kit fitted. Well, I e-mailed Wayne again asking about the 180mm conversion kit a week or 2 ago, only to be informed that I needed to pay an extra R1000 for the kit which was supposed to be fitted 7 months ago at no charge... this fee was dropped after I decided it was enough and threw my first couple of toys out the cot, only to be told a day later that "it wasn't ordered again, but will be here at the end of July" , like wait, you just asked for R1000, and now, a day later, it suddenly hasn't arrived... I won't be holding my breath for that expected delivery! And did I mention that when I registered my fork (after fitment), the RS app informed me that the fork was in actual fact, a 42mm offset and not the 51mm offset I had specifically ordered, an error CCS didn't even know as they maintained they sold a 51mm offset fork... However, being a decent human prevailed and I shrugged off the error in offset because I didn't think too much difference would be present... to my deficit unfortunately. I was incredibly impressed with the initial service I received from Wayne and Bike Addict, and the fork is awesome... however since these issues have prevailed between Bike Addict and CCS, I won't be supporting either company in the future!

So, I was fortunate enough to have this beauty arrive on my doorstep the other day My build spec will be somewhat conservative, but for the most part, I'm frothing hahaha Frame: Pole Machine 160mm Seatpost: Lyne Contour Dropper 150mm Shock: RS Super Deluxe Fork: Lyrik Ultimate 180mm Headset: Cane creek/Pole Stem: RF Affect R Handelbars: RF Aeffct R 35mm x 780mm Wheels: Spank Vibrocore 350's Breaks: Hope Tech 3 E4's Rotors: Hope 203mm floating F/R Groupset: NX 12 Speed Crankset: NX 34t 170mm DUB

A few months ago i bought a Specialized from Bridge Cycles, i was very excited about my purchase and was stoked to be shredding up the mountains again, however after my first ride there were a few issues so i went back to Bridge Cycles so they could sort it out, then i collected it and yet AGAIN i had to return to Bridge Cycles that same day to fix the same issue! In the first week i had my bike for 2 out of 7 days... So i was rather disappointed with my recent purchase as it was in the shop more than i was able to ride! Anyway, Mark helped me choose my bike and sold me on the premis that "everything" was included in this deal, including a tubeless conversion! Well, to my disgust i got a puncture on Monday (yes New Years day) and upon trying to figure out why i had gotten the puncture, i found that the so called "Tubeless conversion" was infact not at all tubeless! Also, there was no "setup" i had to take my bike to Cyclelab in order for them to set the shock pressure (it was WAY too soft), they adjusted all the gearing for me and setup my bike to fit me. Which they did free of charge as well! I am disappointed that i was sold on false pretences by Mark as well as the poor level of service which i have recieved from Bridge Cycles, I LOVE MY BIKE! But i will never be using Bridge Cycles for any of my cycling needs in the future!
