  1. Did a solid 82km, 1890m ascend ride, joining all the Durbanville Hills Trails
  2. Yip, no probs free wheeling, only when you back pedal does the brake activate
  3. Back pedal jobs, works great for him
  4. Thx DJR! My new PC screensaver, for sure! lol
  5. My Boy Evan, ripping it around Meerendal lower section, had two massive wipe outs, as he was getting a bit over confident with fast down sections,...but I encouraged him to fall more, cos its cool
  6. Cape Town Dished out the GOODS again this past weekend! And I'm loving a little loop or two with my boy at Meerendal
  7. Saturday Tygerberg Trails, nice little 68km cruze on a stunning Cape Town winters day And then had a ""SUPER PROUD DAD"" moment, after my boy on only his second ride without training wheels, showed some serious natural skill in the single-track and the lower section of Meerendal
  8. So after one month of riding with training wheels, they're off! Snapped it from the word go, thanks to a JD Bug balance bike he had for over a year. #prouddad#nowthefunstarts!
  9. Some fun my little one at Meerendal
  10. Some Durbanville Tygerberg Meandering
  11. First test ride with XT 1x11 and Absolute Black Oval ring
  12. Shifting is as crisp and smooth as anything, feels exactly the same with the clutch on and off.
  13. And there she is.. 10.5kg with 2x10 SLX/XT setup 10.2kg with 1x11 XT/SLX/Absolute Blk OVAL setup
  14. I'll weigh tomorrow and post it here...
  15. I was running 2X10, so had to go with a new chainring. With only XT 11-40 available, I opted to go with Oval 32T, as it should assist climbs, and drive flats a little better. Keen to try it asap, but not with the Cold Front of the year passing by!! Edit: I sold my ex parts for R1750, calculated in cost
  16. Thx Naas! Not a bad cost factor to go 1x11, R3,5k if your ex drivetrain are in good nick
  17. Im sure Bogus One can do his majic on the SLX crank?
  18. that's how I roll Steven ...pre-offers welcome
  19. I slapped on a RS Reba with black stanchions to get closer to my "All Black" goal....hopefully a XO1 Grouppo on the cards in the near future
  20. yoh••••okes got strong legs, maybe thats the key
