  1. Heard the sad news yesterday of the passing of Lionel Murray of Freewheel Cycology. What an energetic guy, passionate about cycling and life. Will be missed in the cycling community. We’ve lost a legend. Strongs to his family and friends. Ride on Lioney.
  2. Any ideas, comments on the debonair brain vs normal SID brain setup? What have others experienced?
  3. Hi Any advice on where in cape town i can have the front and rear shocks fine tuned. I have similiar setup like https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/dual-suspension-bikes/427210/2019-s-works-epic-large It feels hard as hell even with front fork fully opened, no plushness on both forks. Yeah I tried a lot of variations, youtube etc. reading manual etc. Yor I'm struggling to find sweet spot on this bike. Thx

  5. Brilliant - much needed to take the mtb stage race format into the future.
  6. Thanks goodness - Energade in 2015 was just terrible. Perhaps nobody saying it - Energade causes non-stop farts.
  7. Great thanks for the professional manner in how this was dealth with.
  8. Disaster - route markers all over the place - the event ended in shambles. Our bunch with leading ladies Finished 35 of the 70kms due to incorrect or no route markers! Organisers a refund or credit towards next trailseeker cpt race would be a consolation.

    99er crash out

    Every year the 99er has issues - big bunches, no climbs at beginning and with rain previous years it guaranteed drama. This year no rain but still large bunches, small time gaps between bunches and gravel road. Organizers please get this right or cancel the race altogether. For the premium entry we paying we EXPECT to be on a safe route at least!
  10. How long to finish the long route MTB for decently fit rider.
  11. whats the route like for the MTB race. What about single track and enjoyment factor Would like to know
  12. Mutual and Federal - see below. Premium is the last amount. Also no hassles when claiming Excess: R 250 9627865 SPECIALIZED SL3 PEDAL CYCLE R 40 000 R 158.46 9627879 Specialized Sworks MTB Pedal Cycle R 32 000 R 129.52
  13. Got a few Mframes for R200 each
  14. My experience with these tyres has been very dissapointing. For the price point of these tyres it's really a bad reflection on the continental brand. 1. It easily punctures - even when new. 2. Accumulates cuts very quickly 3. Not very long lasting. Perhaps it's not for riders over 65kgs. Would like to hear what other hubbers experiences were around durability of these tyres. I certainly shall not be buying these tyres again.
  15. Yoh if I saw this dodgy scene - I would have confiscated that Sworks immediately. I doubt the thief would have tried to resist, he would have tried to make a getaway to avoid being arrested.
