Howzit folks Been a while since i been on here. Had a look and could see anything on here. Rouxjtie and I are toying with the idea of going through on saturday or sunday. some questions. Can you get a day pass? From where and how much? Can you do multiple runs? or is a 1hit wonder track? Is it worth going with 140mm Pascoes, or do you need a +160mm travel bike to make it worth while? How busy is it? Any other suggestions? Thanx in advance for the help.

miss mine so much

I'm keen 2017 was a bad year fittness wise. 1st baby in June might have had a bit to do with it. 2018 starting at 176cm 106kg 36yrs get er dun.

PM me what you thinking price wise.

exactly and definitely shouldnt be wearing baggies

you would probably get more return for the "Flows" as it is a matched set.

very tempted to get a set of these on my next trip to the US.   http://www.jensonusa.com/Mountain-Pedals/HT-Components-T1-Pedals?cs=Purple  

I personally run these on all my bikes Shimano M530 SPD Trail - Blackhttps://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/263748-new-shimano-m530-spd-trail-black/ However they not weight weanie but than again I am 105kg so the extra platform is great.

Plus none of your mates get to test your bikes out cause they will be rocking SPDs

classic

How you get 160mm? did you get the same rocker as Hilton was running?

Steel is Real

You sir are a ............. hahaha. looking forward to seeing it, when are they due?

All I'm gonna say is the first hubber to post a Slakline is gonna get cussed hard. :whistling:

hahahah ok ok yes it was my dumb fat ass that broke the Niner fork. But to be fair to the fork the fork: I was 105kg t the time and i way over-jumped a fairly large jump and came down hard on my front wheel. It was also a Straight steerer fork and it broke right on the Crown. I did many many jumps, gaps and Rock gardens with it. To be honest I dont think there is a single "Bike trail" in JHB or Pretoria that I did not ride with it. I even did the Hakahana SP1 on it back before the Enduro days and had a Top 10 Time on strava back then. I even used to play at the jumps at bike park on it. Needless to say even after that messed up jump I still road the Niner fork for another month or two and it only broke the day before 94.7 when I tried to jump a little washout. I have just bought a new bike and as the guys have already established I did not hesitate to fit a new Niner fork to the front. I am not going to be any nicer to it than i was to the last one. I wont be doing any large gap jumps but i will still be riding hard through any rockgarden or trail. Ill still be doing small gaps and jumps on it. At the end of that day it is what i enjoy doing and how i enjoy riding and if i cant ride like that cause I'm scared of hurting my fork then I need to change my fork. I have found for trying both shapes of Fork that the Triangular shaped forks (Niner, Rapide, ENVE, Ragley, Whiskey etc) are more laterally Stiff and Flex less than the tube shaped one (Exotic, Ritchey, On-one, MRP) but that also down to personal Preference. The more flex the less road chatter, however i try and do as little (corrugated) district road as possible. IMHO and from a good few years of riding on various carbon forks they are pretty darn tough and I have broken way more wheels and rims than I have forks. No worries jumping with a carbon fork.

thought this topic was about something completely different.

hahaha yeah now working harder riding softer.

Beauty love the colour scheme got a set of these if you want. Blue Hope Rotors

Thanx

I did that is why i retired the Alu Niner and bought the Steel Ritchey. Its good to be back on steel.
