  1. Take a trip to Centurion for a free GoPro Hero+ LCD if you want to start playing around with something to see if you like it. Might have a chest strap for you as well.
  2. Top tip: Rather have it and not need it than needing it and not having it.
  3. PS. Can I send two pairs of bibs back for repairs? Stitching is a little tatty after a couple of years of washing and riding.
  4. Bake at 180 for 35 minutes and let it cool down before removing from the baking tin?
  5. I’ve tried multiple tensioners over the years and Rapide is the best. Stop being so stubborn. 😂
  6. Same plug in your house? Start there.
  7. Definitely take a drive down the coast and do Harkerville Red Route and also Cairnbrogie + MTO trails. Well worth the little bit of extra driving.
  8. Can vouch for the Rapide. Just get it done and never look back.
  9. Man I miss those trails. Especially Happy Valley and 7 Dams. I remember helping the building of the first DH trail and jump lines across the road back in the days where FSMBA and Free State Mounties still ran the provincial series. The good old days of 5" and 6" travel DH bikes.
  10. Make that Specialized Bloemfontein 051 433 4968
  11. Phone some of the local shops. I can recommend you speak to Hannes at Cyclotech and see what he recommends. They might even have a ride you can join.
  12. This thread is useless without pics. Right now I'm thinking the product was left on the bike for too long and the shop is being blamed. It will take a moer of a strong chemical to damage parts on contact.
  13. Put a bucket in the shower or scoop up some bath water. Use two buckets. One for washing, and one for rinsing. Wash with brushes and sponge. Will definitely be clean enough.

  15. Each to his own but that was the saddest thing i’ve ever read. The day I stop riding outdoors is the day they can order my coffin.
  16. Couple of Rapide products in the house and a couple of Lyne products. Had absolutely great service and quality products from both in the past but it was Lyne that went above and beyond to secure all my future business.
  17. Some more feedback on the All Out Adventures trails please. Looking at either Grotto or Montusi Gorge. We only have 2 days to ride and we want to spend the one day at Cathkin. About an 80km drive to get to All Out so I don't want to get this wrong. Recommendations are most welcome please. We are both skilled riders. For example we had zero issues riding Harkerville Red Route.
  18. I drooled over that bike so many times.
  19. Front shock is correct to a degree. It is front fork that gets me. Clips is the other one.
  20. Mine had developed one hell of a creak. I’m suspecting that stupid press fit bottom bracket. Maybe done 600km so far with no issues otherwise. Deore groupset is flawless.
  21. Post pics Not all axles and mounting methods are the same
