Yip. Will be an absolute blast. And out on the farm in the middle of nowhere we will have even more fun than SSWC.

International Trade combined with SLick's bicycle workshop (as it turns out)

... in band camp?

Yebo

Almost every week I spent time correcting set ups and adjusting badly put together bikes. And it's not only your entry level (and worse bikes like above...) Yesterday someone I know (a hubber) brought a 650B Vipa round to my place. He spent the next half hour tightening and checking every single bolt on it!

The brake lever set up on the bars is also very wrong.

Umm... Wouldn't it make more sense to support the LBS who looks after you- especialy fo big ticket items?

Chat to me later about tubeless

For sure! There is a rumour of an Enduro at the farm early next year.

Why? I reckon more than half the bikes at SSWC had a front suspension fork.

It is obvoiusly possible to ride it all rigid. Just not sure how much fun it will be.

Mr Mil. You coming to Farmasutra? I'd like to see a rigid ride the black route - from 2:24 in the above vid.

Ummm... Just a hint of helpful advice. Use it. Don't use it. I remember Thuggie's first time at the farm on his rigid. He went home and bought the Titus with 160mm travel. My SS (Ragley) I'm just about to start building for the event will have 140mms of buttery smooth travel on the front.

Once your entry has been completed and accepted, it may not be cancelled, and we will not refund entry fees & merchandise if you are unable to ride for any reason. 4. I understand that Holey Trails, the Swampdogs mountain biking club nor the pets of the Swampdogs nor the SScrew will be held accountable for anyone who dies of shock from some of the outfits, the outbursts or any other open minded behaviour that may occur. This is event is inspired by a peaceful loving free approach to the world. If you think it may be a bit much still rather come and find out than miss out. You can always leave early. 5. I understand that Farmasutra is a mountain biking experience with dangerous sections and I will not whinge or moan about anything for the entire event 6. I can ride a mountain bike to an acceptable level or if not I accept that falling is part of the sport * as is choosing to walk. 7. I have adequate medical insurance to cover any medical expenses, should I need to see a doctor or go to a hospital. 8. I understand that this mountain biking event has dangerous sections. That we can ride a mountain bike to an acceptable level. 9. I understand that there could be someone faster than me on single track and that I will make every effort to allow him or her to pass so they can enjoy the track relative to their skill. This goes without saying for single speeders. 10. I understand that I’m required to ride with a safety helmet while participating in the ride. No helmet no ride! What your helmet looks like is your business. Do you confirm that you accept the Disclaimer of entry and Indemnity for the Farmasutra ?

R350 entry R200 camping fees Friday/Saturday night

Usually if the BB height is high to start with. Then the bike handles badly.

I will be there. No need. You can camp on the farm. How else are you going to be part of the vibe?

Awesome

Think Goose may come. A few guys I know have to stay as they are exhibiting at the Cycle Expo

Option of going a day early to ride Karkloof again and again?

Okay, I'm in. Have the Forester with 4 racks on the roof but towing a trailer is an option too. Happy to dorm. Comfortably take 4 guys.

I have also seen how they can cause more (and serious) injuries in a crash situation.

Hmmmm... My recollection was that we were all keen but just had to confirm? And I only briefly touched the blonde before taking that other one. So... road trip anyone?

Ummm... That is uphill!!!

I'm sure he will need a whole bike?
