  1. Can you recommend which rides are free of mud pools and overgrowth in Johannesburg? This morning I cut my ride short due to there being too much mud and the route being overgrown. I look forward to riding my ebike without these obstacles.
  2. I have consulted 3 well known orthopedic surgeons on the prospects of being able to ride MTB after surgery to replace one knee joint. Well I just cannot get a clear answer, which is incredibly frustrating !! Of course there may be unforseen complications and so forth. And of course I don't expect any guarantees. But at least I should be able to get some sort of broad overview and expectation. Can they just not tell me about the experiences of their other nameless patients and why not ?? So I appeal to other cyclists, who may have had a knee joint replacement.Can you give me the benefit of your hindsight ? I would like to know how a knee joint replacement affects subsequent mountain biking ? Should we have the surgery earlier rather than later ? Are most people happy or disappointed with the results ? Does it enable perfect cycling ? Or should one expect to have permanent limitations and some sort of disability ? Are you able to stand whilst pedaling uphill or are you confined to only sitting in the saddle for the whole ride ? Are there any regrets and disappointments after having the knee joint surgery ? What pitfalls can be avoided with the benefit of hindsight. Any tips ??
  3. Conti's get punctures too easily ; even with slime. The wear out very quickly on tarred roads - that is for some of us who cannot avoid abit of road riding.
