I would only consider the damper upgrade, what changes should i expect over the Yari one?

Hey Guys I've been riding a 160mm Yari on my Spez Enduro for the last 5 months or so and it's been serving me pretty well so far Alas my curiosity of what a higher end fork can offer got the best of me, and i want to know if upgrading the dampener is worth the R2500 to do it? Im quite a novice rider but cant help but wonder if it will get me down DH-0 a bit smoother? What are the all benefits? Luke

Hey Guys I bought this vintage Alpina the other day as a build project but dont have any free time at the moment Anyone interested in buying it from me? R1400 Onco I am based in Cape Town and the bike is at a friends workshop in Maitland Luke

bikebloke - the Alpina hoods are fine but only one of the peugeot hoods tore off so will need replacements i found these on SJS: https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/brake-levers/black-diacompe-204-202-non-aero-drop-lever-hoods/

Alpina:

Ok cool thanks! will try woodstock cycles I bought the Alpina last week and the guy said it was his grandfathers and claimed it to be from around that era L

Hey guys New to bike restoring so hope its okay i post a few questions At the moment i have a 1960 Alpina and a late 80's peugeot that I'm working on I need brake hoods for both, Alpina has Shimano, Peugeot has Suntour groupset Pics attached While I'm here I'm also looking for white and/or yellow brake housing? If i can source this items in SA that would be great Lekker

Tanky & Bikey: once long time friends, now arch enemies in a grueling battle to the death! now wheres that trophy...

im paired up already yo so is there still an urban style section with stairs and drops after turning onto the tar road?

ya the video i watched was from 2003, haha race looks a little less urbanny now, especially if it ends at the school at the bottom

cud u try describe what the route should like?

just from watching the video i tried to figure out the route and made a lame map. does this look right to anyone? the big drop is marked with an X http://i.imgur.com/Ik7ef.jpg

just got a V10, 2005, weighs more than my car haha

Coetzenburg sounds pretty rad, how exactly do u get there? also heard there are some cool spots in sir lowrys village

howdy ok so got me my first DH bike and i know of the tokai dh tracks but anyone know of some other good spots to get the feel of riding DH in the greater cape town area and where they are exactly? i heard something about g spot in stellies being good

Can any one please point me in the right direction where to find some DH tracks? the closer to cape town the better as i want to go quite often but i dont mind taking longer drives some weekends

ok so i want to transition from aggressive XC (if that even exists) and all mountain riding to DH ive got an all mountain bike at the moment but its falling short on DH tracks but now i have to sell it to afford a DH bike i also still want to be able to ride uphills, like tokai, and go for longer rides which i really like basically i want to have my cake and eat it how can i modify a DH bike to achieve this? i know i could probably just mod my all mountain for more DH but i kinda want to start taking DH seriously
