  1. What would you say causes the damage? Weight, torque? If weight, then us fatties will need to be charged more than the racing snakes. Next you will want to ban aggressive tyre tread or riders that put down big numbers on climbs. eh eh you cant tax ebikes just like that
  2. Secondhand is cool and all if you know exactly what you are looking for but there is always a reason why a bike is being sold. Buy new and have peace of mind that you have a warranty, shop support, at least one free service, and the expertise of the shop to help you set up the bike.
  3. The last ride before we head back to the smog.
  4. Small world!!! I hope I said hello at least Heading out for one more ride this morning before leaving for GP.
  5. Bit of a gravel grind this morning out in Karkloof. Dense fog.
  6. Speak to the shop and ask them if they would be willing to give you an invoice listing all the parts and frame separately? They will still need to provide the correct code that describes the contents of the invoice though.
  7. Bottom of Prodigal Son. Fast, wet, loose, hero dirt, mud holes, overgrown bridges, scary, humid, moist, and every other word I can possibly think of. Karkloof never disappoints.
  8. Shawswood Farm. Ready to enjoy this beautiful area for the next few days.
  9. Thats is. 35mm long with a 35mm clamp
  10. I really hope someone can help I need a 35mm stem with a 35mm clamp for a short period of time while we wait for stock to arrive. Anyone? Cash in exchange.
  11. https://www.mantel.com/blog/en/derailleur-capacity-maximum-techcenter This might helps. SGS is the long cage. SG is the medium cage.
  12. NEVER EVER put a normal pump on a shock. There will be tears. If you want shock pump please come get one for free. I bought a new one so I don’t mind paying the old one forward. I’m in Centurion. Your petrol will be less than the cost of a pump.
  13. Honest question? Did these guys cost you a podium?
  14. Enjoy your own rides man. If an e-bike makes me happy on the trail or gives me the ability to enjoy the social dynamic of events then let me be. At the end of the day what does it take away from you?
  15. No effect other than blood pressure increase.
  16. Same. The most reliable part Ive ever owned. Only bled twice in that time too.
  17. How old are your brakes. I’ve had the same set of V4s for the past 9 years now with zero issues.
  18. I think I may have looked at that exact same frame and went a different way because of the superboost scarcity.
  19. Anyone using these? Not super impressed with local proximity tracking. You need to be really close before the directions are useful to locating the lost item. I want to place one on my keys for when we go riding. You never know when you drop them. I was hoping it would give a better idea of where you dropped them. Could also have been useful to track my riding partner when we split up on the trail.
  20. Don’t exclude Ride Concepts The Bontragers aren’t super stiff. Good but not great. I prefer the Ride Concepts.
  21. Thanks for the heads-up. This will be my sixth trip down there so I definitely dont know it well.
  22. Working on my technique for them jumps. Back at Red Barn. Next posts will be Karkloof
  23. Took me to the bike shop after 5km on the trail.
  24. Nope. Stock wheels on the XT
  25. Because XTR will just disintegrate for no reason.
