From Jozi Trail FB page. “Jozi Trails has received the incredibly sad news that a cyclist has passed away after a fall near Victory Park. We've been in contact with the family and the details, currently available, are as follows: A father & son were riding along the Braamfontein Spruit and while crossing the stormwater drain through the dip in the trail (parallel to Dale Brook Crescent) it's believed that at the low point of the crossing his wheel washed out and he suffered a serious fall. At this stage it is assumed that he suffered serious injuries from the fall and passed away as a result. It was confirmed that the rider had not attempted the gap jump. The family has asked that we respect their privacy at this time and we will not be releasing the riders name. Our most sincere condolences go out to the family and friends of the rider and we will keep the community updated with any new information.”

Hello Everyone, I have a stripped the bolt at the top of my Pro Koryak dropper post and need to find another one. I have been told that it's not the sort of thing I can buy off the shelf and I will need to have it made. Where can I have this done today? Or alternatively, does anyone know of a bike shop that might have this bolt in stock? I am currently in Hillcrest, KZN. Here's what it looks like - https://photos.app.g...n51fxJVTEHABuP7 I can't let something so small stand on the way of a holiday Giba Gorge ride!

And this is the newer section mentioned above. Dropped pin near Randburg https://goo.gl/maps/RqjaK3LZdKx

Try this next time you ride. This is for the top of the run in my video. Delta Tree Line 2194,, Blairgowrie, Randburg, 2194 https://goo.gl/maps/hsPXYX17yED2

I can't wait to try Karkloof in December! I watch a video about it and got so excited! https://youtu.be/PIaV4d0COYA

Its best to start from Sproket and Jack and ride up into Delta Park. The line runs down the fence of Delta Park, along Bantam dr, Blairgowrie.

Yesterday we rode the new delta Park tree line which has been extended to run all the way from Standard drive down to the river. It was just TOOO cool! I don't know of another free, public trail that could match the amount of fun you can have on this. It even beats most private trails, and there's LOADS more to come. A huge shout out to Jozi Trails for the hard work that's gone into making this as rad as it is! Here's a highlights video of our ride too, if you're interested.

We'll film it. Lets schedule a day - it'll be awesome! I assume a weekend would ve best. Suggestions welcome for a suitable date!

Thats amazing, well done. I need to do that!

Yes, I had it wrong in the original post. Sorry, it is the NEW Green Mile and not just The Green Mile

Let us know when you do and we'll come with you! It's R80 per adult and there's some really cool riding to be done there.

Share your time. Oh go on!

Ha ha ha ... leave my Colin Montgomeries out of this, BUT by my calculations that would take me to 4:52 which means I beat Migsmoreira and CLAIMED VICTORY ON THE DAY! *Walks around the office with his hands in the air for the rest of the day"

Ha ha ha, I think king of anything is a stretch for me on a mountain bike!

Glad you like it and the next one will be coming soon! Now where's an easy Strava time to beat... hmmm

Thanks man, I certainly wasn't just me though! Couldn't have done it without Migsmoreira and a lot of help from Sean Williams behind the camera!

Please do, the more the merrier and we'd love your support. Ps: Tell your friends! [emoji1787] ha ha

I am keen, but only for the flat runs. Ha ha By the time we'd timed our 3 runs, done the spoken parts and filmed the necessary B roll it was well after 1pm and HOT. Like 35 hot! So next time I think shorter runs are better, and anywhere with shade will get my vote! But suggest a good trail/segment and we'd love to give it a go.

Ha ha, we should have paid more attention to that!

Thanks guys, it was fun to make and we're hoping to make more soon. Have you guys ridden Berm Baby Berm at PWC? What were you times if so? It's a really nice flowy trail, flowy up hill just doesn't do it for me though. Ha ha

Admittedly, I am not in peak cycling condition and in no way do I consider myself to be a race snake but that didn't stop a friend and I trying our best to beat Andrew Mcleans strava KOM time on the The New Green Mile (editied-sorry I had it as The Green mile at first) segment (Berm Baby Berm) at PWC Cycle park in JHB. https://youtu.be/E-2A6drZZBc The plan was simple, three runs of The Green Mile to see how close we could get to his time. All went well until I hit the uphill section at which stage, I started sucking gas big time. ha ha It looks like its back to the spruit with a good training plan for me, vut I wonder, how fast are you on that segment? I think that KOM time is achievable for anyone with a bit of fitness!

Thanks for the advice. The freehub was replaced recently so I hope thats not the issue. They may well have put it together poorly when doing that. Lets hope its as simple as that. JUST FYI: The big one is a Hope cog and the rest are sram.

The other day I noticed some play between the sprockets in my MTB cassette. Is the normal? Or do I need to replace or fix something?
