  1. Can’t wait to take this beauty out for it’s first proper stretch tomorrow morning 😃
  2. Hi all My son has a Titan Hades 20 inch The Shimano 6-Speed Twist shift is in tatters, and he's traditionally battled to use it properly I'd like to replace it with a traditional finger shifter to make it easier for him, and hopefully create as much enthusiasm for MTBing as I have My Question is: I'm not finding used 6-Speed Shifters, would it be a Technical issue if I used a 7-speed shifter? Cheers Paul
  3. Afternoon all Hope anyone could assist with a little advice to a reasonable newbie: I currently use a Garmin Vivoactive as a general all purpose fitness device, however, have really started to enjoy and focus on MTBing. With maximized settings, not using the LiveTrack function, I am able to get 7hrs on average out of my watch My rides are increasing in length with the Group I have joined up with, and I am concerned that I'll hit the dreaded "Dead Battery" point in the next bit My thoughts are: Buy a Wahoo Tickr, and use the Wahoo App on an old Cellphone mounted in a Top Tube bag to do what the watch would do My metrics I chase are speed, distance, HRM, Elevation Then with time extend into a Element Device when finances allow me to (and my wife has had her say ) Is this a viable idea? Are there better APPs?
  4. Thanks everyone for the feedback Replacement was due to an Insurance Claim, so was toying with my options. Elected to take the Fox
  5. Thanks for the good feedback...Reba is the Reba RL 29/15SA 100...does that help?
  6. Hi all Need a little advice on a new front shock Note: Price is not a decider I generally do little downhill type riding, more Intermediate type gravel with an aim to want to do a Mungra Grit (or similar) type Race by the end of the year. Thanks
  7. Thanks for the positive feedback guys...here's looking forward to meeting you all on the Trails!
  8. Hi all Got roped into the Juma by a mate last year - had a ball Been using my brother-in-laws loan "Raleigh - HT" ever since My upcoming 40th gift has become a budget for a new bike - R 16K max I have been looking at Cyclelab, primarily as I can use a 20% discount due to my Multiply status - value for money...? Please guide me where you can I am looking at something with longevity, but not wanting upgrade drive trains off the bat, so the Scott Scale 965 SLX (https://www.cyclelab.com/product/scott-scale-965-slx-rs30-silver) has caught my eye (I have been trolling Forums like these to try and get the best ideas) 1.74m tall (Medium Frame), 72kg so happy to stick with a HT Could you propose anything else that would be of value? Would look at "upgrades" later such as Dropper Posts etc. Thanks in advance!
