aaand lycra for male ballerinas I don't know what male is for ballerina. Ballerista? Ball-exhibitionist? Jokes. I get why - but not a fan and they just don't look right on my skateboard - er, em with flat pedals and sneakers

I have no issues with Maxed if they look/work lekke. Padded etc?

It seems they only do two versions - both Upadded

Hey guys, I've now officially worn my Fox Ranger and my el-cheapo baggies from the UK to bits and keen to get a nice new pair. I want a padded liner with the shorts - I'm not keen for a bib under a baggy or boardshorts. Any pointers of what to look for, where to look? Ideally not imports and I've destroyed google without satisfying results. Not keen on orange, neon yellow or even bright blues. Prefer grey, black or navy - or at least darker colours. I've already looked at: Fox Ranger new version - so far on topIndola enduro shorts - two zipper pockets at odd placesFirst Ascent Trail baggies - pretty good actually, but Med too small and large way too big.

don't you trashtalk my trance! I loved my Trance. This machine is pretty special. Magic carpet

Yes, it will be. Had a look at production artwork - moerdyk!

I may or may not have lost it and went overboard... Split and parted out my bikes and built a new machine: Silverback Slider 150mm 29" prototype asymmetric frame - testing this, not available YET Fox Float Trunnion rear shock Reynolds TR309S Carbon 29" wheelset Fox Float 36 Elite 150mm fork XFusion 150mm dropper Shimano Zee brakes Icetech rotors 180mm F/R 35mm Sector Trail bars, 45mm stem Borntobefast enduro lockon grips Ryder Copy Spez saddle (not sure I like this yet) To accompany this I also got a Fox dropframe helmet I'm running a mix of tyres since my back end clearance on the prototype does not yet allow my Rekon 2.6" GX Eagle drivetrain No decent photos of the complete yet.

Not all 'new bike days' are blasting through berms and hitting jumps...

that seems to work... but I would hazard a guess - only on downhills.

Please no! On the ups I had 32/42 to get me up there. I tried a singlespeed for one G-Spot session, and hated the ups, and spun out on the downs.

I did a shoddy job of setting my gears before my last ride, and didn't notice before I was around 500m away from my car, so I only had top 4 or 5 gears on my cassette working. And having little time for a ride, I decided to keep going and to work with what I have. Long story short, the climb up Helderberg was fine, not an issue. BUT, going down there's no way to pedal fast enough in the available gearing. So that forced me to flow to keep speed in sections where I would normally just work in a crank or two. Strava don't lie (often) but I had three of my best DH sections on the trails, without being able to out power down when needed.

Hey, I can not speak for all the other tyres - but an Ibex 2.4 works 100's for me. I ride the absolute hell out of them and have yet to run out of grip in corners. My recommendation - oil on your rotors, forcing you to carry even more speed through corners - the notion to stay alive will add major grip to your tyres. jks.

I've never needed a chin bar on Helderberg, except on DH lines - and no riders on enduro bikes willingly go ride those there, unless they're out for self harm.

Schonenberg?

Happy happy HA! Myne is ook Lyla...

sjo sjo!

It's a riot Hairy! I've got two sets of wheels for it - a 27.5+ set and the 29 set. Its got adjustable geometry and designed to take both wheelsets. I'm really enjoying it.

A brand spanking new Mattoc 27.5+ /29 set to 140mm and a set of WTB i35 rims on BearPawl hubs with IBEX 2.4's. Good riding.

aha, you learn something new everyday.

I must be honest, I have no idea what you are asking here...

Big fan of my Mattoc! Enjoy!

Corse Dopamine Carbon wheelset on my trail machine. Sjo sjo.

Hoe kom mens heel bo op daai berg? Hoogste wat ek nog was is die mast, en ek glo mens kan tot heel bo op gaan.

Helderberg mish on Stoke's Wreckoning. Fun times.
