Basically ride whatever you like and stop worrying about everyone else.

This thread has degenerated from a serious discussion on the merits of how many inches you have between your legs into the Barry Ronge bad movie show! I love it. And monty python, especially Life of Brian!!

You just made it public knowledge! And Duane if you have an activity card and ride once a week its only 6 bucks a ride. That's not too bad...

Maybe Duane is having Morzine withdrawals! Seriously though if we can't stick together on this then we will never get anything done. Some of the trails are a bit rough but hey its MOUNTAIN biking F F Sakes! But what do I know? I've only been riding tokai since 2002 so its all new to me.

I actually can't believe how stupid this thread is. Obviously the o.p. Is taking the piss. And everyone is falling for it. We are all tjops!

Bloohub. pick up a spade or sod of and ride somewhere free where a group of trail fairies does all the maintenance for you while you sit on your fat ass and tell everyone how great you are. Nothings free mate. Get used to it. stay focused on the opinion not the person jimmy !

So I heard that there may be a build day on saturday 21 july. Any details anyone?

I did a DH race at Contermanskloof this sunday. It was raining,freezing and muddy. I finished in the bottom half of the time sheets, not my best result. But there was a set of corners,right berm to flat switchback to left berm to right berm that had me grinning like an idiot all the way through. Stuff the race time, all I wanted to do was hit those corners again and again untill I got the drifting perfect. It was awesome! Thats why I ride...

I like to go in to the shop and touch things...

If you are buying 2nd hand then a medium will be easier to find than a large. There is a medium shova st for sale here for about R4000. The Mbuzi is also a great bike. 160? mm travel in a lighter package but still strong enough for almost anything. And if you ever wanna sell then at least you can get most of your cash back witth a morewood, unlike some other bikes!

We must all get a bike set up? Or we must all come to you?

Actually a niner could be good in enduro, depending on geometry,travel etc. Would help on the climbs between stages, but might be slower on the dh stages where the times count. And lycra looks gay, that's why I wear baggies clint za. And they cover my kneepads

No, they are punting it as a form of racing where bike skills are as important, or more so, than xc style fitness. Read the article

Have a look at the ad for an“all mountain bike“ in the classifieds under dual suspension mtb. Seems very odd.

Try 25%. But wash your hands first...

Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha

Lead,don't follow.

Sorry baggy spandex pants,apparently no one knows anything about bikes on here because , as you can see, they haven't transcribed the park tools big book of bike mechanics for you. Although this thread is dripping with the sarcasm and lightly veiled insults that make The Hub such a wonderful place to be...

Changed my suspension setup with a new spring. Lower bb, slacker head angle. Bike is suddenly transformed from an unstable twitchy mess into a rocket ship! All I did was move the shock mount one position!

Bloohubs, I've seen you chirping on here about Tokai before. Do you ride much up there cos you seem pretty aggro on here. Who is the “we“ that is helping you get rid of “them“?

I see a lot of you saying how the 29er is faster on flat gravel roads but slower on the technical single track. So what you are actually saying is that your 29er mountain bike is only better when you don't take it on a mountain? Why not just get a cyclocross bike? That would be even faster!

I've been riding tokai pretty much every week since about 2003. Always in baggy shorts because I don't see the need for spandex as I ride mostly dh. I do ride all the trails but the emphasis is definitley on the descending side of it. The forest has about ten times more riders now than 9 years ago. Or it seems like it on a sunny sunday morning. The main thing though is to relax and enjoy yourself. Say hi to everyone and most will say hello back. And don't judge people by what they wear. I've seen guys in full dh armour riding the brakes all the way down going round the jumps, and spandex clad xc guys,seat full height, nailing the dh track at warp speed 9 captain! Just have fun and welcome back. You did pay to enter from the top didn't you...

Hey its a free forum and website. There's nothing to stop people doing whatever they like, whether its selling stuff after one post or moaning about it after 8 pages...

Gonna be bringing in any Greg Minaar replica V10s? Or any other Santa Cruz DH or freeride bikes?
