Yes, there is some compromise to be reached. Fast and comfy downhill, or easy climbing? You can go fast on any bike. Its up to the rider, and the tyres make a huge difference regarding rolling resistance.

We have bike lanes, cars stopping/yielding to bikes is something else. However bike lanes here are over looked with loads of folk electing to ride in the road instead.

I have ridden XC and trail bikes, down dh lines. Lets just say it ended when the xc bike need constant part replacements, wheels etc. Then the trial bike ended, when I snapped the frame in 2. Xc was a ht and the trail bike was dual sus. Still, it can be done, and there is no limit in riding an XC bike on any trail. It is about how comfortable and the amount of fun you want to have. Op, home you many happy miles with whatever you decide on.

This, 120 to 130 travel max. Do not even bother looking at enduro bikes. Find something thats comfortable to sit on with you hands on the bars, geometry varies

hope you have his license plate number. report a hit and run

Came across a scary scene at the entry to quarry this morning after vasbyt at tokai. Rider down in a pool of blood. Apparently he was out cold. There was a doctor in the group that found him. Hope he is ok. Anyone else know anything?

I was hoping to see our Jean-marc Johannes representing at the games.

You get a chinese one thats aluminium and makes use of an allen key. Seen one a long time back. Will see if I can find a link.

Not always, but some gearing is handy

@Jewbacca This is interesting. Coincidently we did similar back in our teens to bmx's. https://bikerumor.com/2021/07/22/olympic-bmx-hopeful-twan-van-gendts-bike-adds-derailleur-to-shift-gears-to-gold/

an option to print the card with your details, id, and membership number.

You used to be able to buy the permit at any Sanparks office, including at cape town airport which was open until 8pm. This has changed with covid unfortunately. As for the pricing, I do not have a problem.

Ghetto tubeless conversion will make any wheel a tubeless wheel. It works well too, (to ad) even with wire bead tyres.

People love gathering around there for a few minutes.

Look at 7IDP Project, Troy Lee Designs Stage, IXS GTrigger, 100% Trajecta and Fox Rampage

2 hooks on the wall also allow you to store the rack flat.

Happy birthday Dale????

I must say. I enjoyed this years tour. Even though I missed most of the stages, I manage to catch the last 30 to 40 min when I get home. The discussions on here were great for updates as well. THANKS guys

Indeed. I not sure if they have posted any pics of the actual device found in the CX bike. I just posted it as I wouldn't mind a system like that for on the trails. Also posted the link for reference

Whatever the outcome. It has yet to be proven as were other TDF motor claims in the past. I wouldnt mind one like this tho, just for that last bit of the climb, when I konk out. I dont want a full on ebike. https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/latest-news/there-has-been-motorised-doping-in-tour-de-france-us-tv-investigation-309193

I loved the finish. I got the last couple of km. Pity I missed the start of the breakaway. I am loving coming home switching on and catching the last 30min tho.

Was down there on sunday. Cant say I noticed, but it was also the first time in more than a year. The berms seemed to have been worked on.
