Hi Guys, Any suggestions for downhill/fast flowing trails in Gauteng? i have done modderfontein and some of the Holla trails in DBN. Thanks Prof

Thanks guys - looks like i'm keen on the signal bike (reasonable price with upgrade capabilities). Norco looks like a great bike - just out of my price range for now.

Thanks Porqui, I will definitely try out the medium before I make a purchase. Is there any specific things to watch out when sizing based on your experience? Thanks Me ride my bike, the signal bike was also quiet light. Wasn't too sure if you could upgrade it - what items would upgrade at a later stage with this bike or kits to consider?

Hi Porqui, Sorry should have provided more info - I'm 1.6m male and the inseam measurement is 69cm. I reached the conclusion after going to a store and trying out a medium/small 29ers frame bikes, they suggested a small.

Hi Guys, I'm new to the forum and to mountain biking (i have been on a couple of rides already with hired or a friend's bike). I'm looking to purchase my own bike and i have the following choices in a small frame offered by three different cycle stores (There isnt much stock in the market currently (no Merida small frames) nor am i familiar with the different bike brands). 1. Signal S920 https://signalbikes.co.za/products/2020-s920-mountainbike?contact_posted=true#contact_form - R12k just not sure on the brand/qaulity but the specs look great and its a light bike. 2. Momsen AL 429 - https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/momsen-hardtail-1/products/momsen-al-429-2019 - Decent bike specs being a 2019 model 3. Specialised Rockhopper Expert - https://www.specialized.com/za/en/rockhopper-expert-29/p/175108?color=290761-175108&searchText=91120-3502 - abit on the expensive side but seems to be a trusted brand Please let me know what you think of the three bikes? happy with any other recommendations ro pointers. Thanks
