  1. Notsure if my entry is transferable to somebody. Free of charge. DM me if you are interested in a Team entry. Unfortunatly due to work we cannot make it
  2. For most riders, it's recommended to change a mountain bike helmet every 3 to 5 years, regardless of whether it's been involved in a crash. This timeframe accounts for the natural degradation of materials over time due to factors like exposure to sunlight, sweat, and general wear and tear. If your helmet experiences a significant impact or shows signs of damage, it should be replaced immediately, even if it's within the 3 to 5-year range. Regularly inspecting your helmet for any cracks, dents, or other damage can help ensure your safety while riding.....This is Chatgbt talking 🤖 IMHO: If its that old, then rather donate your helmet to cycling development clubs...or your annoying Cousin.
  3. Behind Hermanus High school you will find a BMX track...we used to race Dual-slalom there many many moons ago. Kobus should be able to help out. Closest Gravity style riding to you is Somerset west (https://www.thehangerbikeco.co.za/ if his that talented, speak to these guys, co-owned by Andrew Neethling)
  4. Is that what she said?...need to get your brother to up the cadence then 😂
  5. There's plenty of kilometres to cover on a battery. (Thousands) The only thing worth keeping an eye on is the drivetrain, specifically the chain and cassette. Occasionally, you might run into some motor issues, but personally, I've owned four second-hand e-bikes without any problems. Plus, there are more workshops available now that can handle motor repairs if needed. The only hiccups I've encountered, fingers crossed, involve cable and wire connections. They tend to get dirty, but a good cleaning usually does the trick to get everything back in smooth working order. The 50k to 70k ebike market got some super deals.
  6. Is it just me, or has the news about the bike market's downturn not quite reached South Africans? On the bright side, for us consumers, it's a buyer's market for new bikes and more. While I doubt we'll see any "specials" or price drops at our local shops or online stores anytime soon, the asking prices for second-hand bikes on the hub are nothing short of a joke. Sure, you can set your asking price high and hope for the best. Perhaps some well-intentioned individual will transfer the money, allowing Frikkie to bask in the coolness of an overpriced second-hand bike for just one season... Regrettably, we must face the reality that the depreciation of bicycles, especially e-bikes, is something we have to come to terms with.
  7. Hi as Robbie says below, but when you exit NS and then cross the River look out for Bosluis climb, that will take you to firehut/Quarry... Should be able to find it on Trailforks. I wil almost suggest starting with Firehut and then go up Irish etc...due to summer heat Firehut gets plenty sun from 5am 🔥
  8. I have the Thule front mounted seat and my son loves it, start crying when I stop (13months old)... But, the stack on my bike is just to short and I need to angle the adapter to maximum to allow clearance below to my frame. Additionally I use my ebike and the display is also in the way. To get a good grip at that angle the spacer all get bent from the force. Not the ideal setup. So when you buy the Thule Front seat, be sure you have an uncut steerer...
  9. I like the Pyga Pascoe inspired design he brought over to Titan. Looking forward to see the completed version.
  10. I know very little of road-racing, so asking your opinion. If I look at the amount of crashes happening and how/where, it seems that a field of 100+riders is a bit excessive...? ( referring to yesterdays bunch crashes). Or is that just bad luck---and idiot spectators
  11. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c6JmxP7138 But then again, they never give a full conclusion...outcome is always that both bikes are great.
  12. I have my name up for a Levo SL, whats your experience/thoughts on it so-far? Had the Orbea Rise H30, and the extra batt helped, but struggled to keep up with the full power bikes obviously...and at the end of the day on the DH the advantage was not that much more (then again its down to rider skill level and fitness). Hoping to get mine on the next shipment end of June.
  13. Whats that blue thingy for? Nice collection of bikes I assume the wife and kids stay in the garage...hehe
  14. Great to see Trail daze are back! @Headshot Please explain the meaning of \"E-bike specific\"? or do you mean skill level specific? n Fiets is mos n fiets en n trail n trail...The rider makes the difference. My skill level allows me to go-big at Banhoek, where the next guy loves the Super-tube flow of the trail? Be that on E-bike, Analog or Drie-wiel.
