  4. Votes are in and the winner of the GoPro Hero3+ for June 2014 has been chosen. Congrats to Peach. with his winning shot of Jolanda Neff at the MTB World Cup Pietermaritzburg earlier this year. Click here to view the article
  5. The closing time for votes today has also been extended by 2 hours from 12h00 to 14h00 today to account for the site downtime this morning. @ Patches (& Disylizzy): Disylizzy wasn't alone in assuming the View results feature worked as per usual (i.e. you can still vote after). For that reason and because it was not 'announced' as such we've removed any null votes cast thus far. However going forward if you choose to view the results before voting there's no second chance.
  6. Hi Disylizzy, Perhaps it should have been made more clear. We'll remove any null votes cast thus far, but to be clear for any others still to vote: going forward viewing the results before casting a vote will mean a null vote. Thanks, Matt
  7. If you choose to view the poll results before casting a vote you forfeit your vote - the "View results" button does have a note in this regard.
  8. Hi guys, I've just called Fox with the queries. RRP - R 1,149.00 I should be receiving a list of retailers shortly which I'll share here.
  9. Both! But there's no guarantee such "gifts" will influence our votes
  10. Of course - it's myself and Claudio at Hub HQ. Plus 3 independent outsiders (i.e. not Hubbers or anyone with affiliation to the entrants) from our adjoining offices. We each choose our top 5 and from there the 5 with the most votes go through to the finalists.
  11. Mod note: Merged duplicate topics
  12. Another month down and time again to vote for the winner in our GoPro Photo of the Day competition. We've changed things up after the fake vote issues experienced last month. The intention was always for the competition to be community driven and in this spirit the final selection should rest with the community. However, instead of voting from the full month's images, an initial voting panel has narrowed it down to 5 finalists. And to simplify things you now choose just 1 image - your favorite - instead of the top 3 as before. Voting This time around it's simple. Just vote for your favourite image in the poll above. Note: If you choose to view the results of the poll before casting a vote you lose your vote. The winner will be based on the image with the most votes and will take home the GoPro Hero 3+ Silver Edition. In the event of a tie, a tie-breaker vote will be setup. Cast your vote and keep submitting your photos for June! Voting will close at 12h00 14h00 on Friday, 4 July 2014. (Extended due to site downtime on Friday morning) The finalists: 11 June 2014: Sunday SpruitBy Dorpie 13 June 2014: Jolanda Neff going for the winBy Peach. 25 June 2014: Epic Dust StormBy Dubber 26 June 2014: eselfontein photoshoot failBy muis man 27 June 2014: Whip itBy stokerG

    Review: Momsen VIPA

    "Mega" is all relative, but for me generally and in the context of this review: pretty much any vertical drop-off more than 1m

    Review: Momsen VIPA

    I can assure you it was not planned (the review was meant to be out a few months back already), but the timing does work in his favour.
  16. I have been toying with the idea of switching to a dual suspension bike for some time and when Iwan Kemp, aka The Crow, offered me his Momsen VIPA for a test ride I jumped at the opportunity. Touted as a “Super Bike” the Momsen VIPA is purpose built for cross country and marathon riding, though this particular one had a few twists in its tail. Click here to view the article
  17. @ArchedBackChinOut Since you've gone ahead and posted contents of a private conversation (for which you will receive a warning), I'll reference that: I'm not sure what there is to argue about? The guy clearly expressed his intent and it is one which does not fit with our stance on doping.
  18. Further to the trolling, as The Hub, we do not support the use of or promotion of the use of banned substances in our sport. Even if the OP was genuine he made it quite clear that he was aware of these substances being banned, yet still sought advice on which to use (in preparation for sanctioned events) and why. This is most definitely not a topic of discussion that will be allowed on The Hub, ever. It would be very different if the OP was confused or unaware of the banned nature and our members informed them and pointed them in the right direction. But that was not the case here.
  19. The decision was a well informed one, sure some assumptions involved, but it was the correct decision. A PM conversation with the OP confirmed this.
  20. Topic Closed Trolling - looking at the OP's profile history on The Hub and cycling background it is highly unlikely that this is a genuine question. A warning will be issued.
  21. I've done a bit of cleaning up. Lets keep this on track.
  22. Mod Note: Personal attacks will not be tolerated. Warnings have been issued and posts removed. Anyone continuing the spat will also receive a warning. Lets keep this on topic.
  23. Voting's all done and our May winner has been chosen! Congratulations to Grebel for his shot "Between the tapes". Click here to view the article
  24. Just a reminder to get your votes in before 12h00 today. It's looking like a tight finish this month with two photos neck and neck.
  25. Locked: Duplicate thread https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/140059-gopro-captures-gunpoint-mountain-bike-robbery-in-somerset-west/
