If the sun is shining from the West look to the East. If the wind is blowing from your left lean to your left. Tighten your grip on your right for left hand bend only. Look through the turn at the lady taking the photo. Pout your bum and spread your knees.

Years of falling....

If the switchback is too steep to sit release the front brake while standing into the turn. you need as much momentum as possible to carry you through.

Go in slightly faster, sit at the last second and take your inside foot off the pedal, grab the back brake for dear life. This should pivot your back end out.

Also run Saguaro front and rear, best of both worlds IMO. That's if you can find then a a realistic price!

They are closing down....

And rut railing....

Some Hand Dragging....

Some Bar dragging....

Local Dealer for Salsa?

Bent RD?

Cycle Hub at Rietvlei

They make Lite bars in Nut, cranberry and citrus. They have no chocolate, they don't melt.

Jungle oats bars, there is a light option?

Performance wise I would compare the Manitou Minute RMD with the Reba range. I ride both on identical FS bikes. Servicing is a lot easier on the MM for me as it is not dual air and internals are more straight forward. I am heavy, 90km and the MM holds up to everything I throw at it and is plusher than my Reba RL. I am not saying the Reba is bad, but the MM is better. Neither have flex which I hate, I found the SID's to be very flexy. IMO when i buy another fork i will go with MM again.

Ummm...
