That big old S logo on them adds at least 10rpm to any ride.

I can see myself paying R135 for a pair of socks but I've seen socks for R399. That is madness.

Preference has nothing to do with performance of one vs the other. I also know the difference yet I prefer DOT. Ultimately I base my preference of many years of racing downhill as well as other disciplines, and also being a mechanic on various bikes. I love the freedom of choice.

That fork lubricates my undercarriage. Nice!

Awesome. Can you please put me in touch with him?

Nothing wrong with the flat pedals. That is about the only thing I agree with in that article.

Hi all I received all your PMs and I'm working through them. It might be easier to just post the join link here for everyone to hop onto the group. https://chat.whatsapp.com/BYzDbCvZ40v8VjzcF8AkqQ

Hope for me too. Running the Tech 3 V4 for the past 8 years and they've been bulletproof. Best part is the design has not changed in all that time. Uses DOT brake fluid and parts are super easy to find. The importers carry just about everything you need. Formula has been around forever and they know their stuff but the mineral oil part completely puts me off.

Ja, nee.

Wouldn’t that just be downhill but with extra steps?

Message him and say you're working offshore on an oil rig and you want to buy the bike for your nephew.

Hi there Will do. Are you on road or mtb?

Thinking of buying a bike? Sure, buy eyewear for R2,490 and gloves for R715. That's R3000+ that you could put towards a better bike.

All I can say is that this bike is naughty. Like a lot naughty. Definitely feels like a lot more travel than 120mm at the back.

Finally upgraded to a 29er.

Absolutely stellar service. Dayle is quick to respond to emails and super helpful New wheels arrived with valves and already taped up ready to go. Great quality. Also got a set of cranks. Great quality.

All the love and hate makes for some really good free marketing for the brand.

Thanks Rush1. Couple of people have sent me DMs so far and we should organise our first ride soon.

Does anyone have a 30.9 seatpost in the JHB area that is gathering dust? Can be scratched and without a top clamp even. Want to use it on a work stand to clamp the frame instead of clamping my dropper post in.

Anyone playing Snowrunner?

Absolute beast. Congrats

We visit Karkloof quite regularly. Definitely my favourite spot in SA to ride.

Road trip I guess.

The guys in KZN and Cape are really fortunate to have real trails. We get excited about a 1km flow trail with maybe a 20m drop in elevation. With what we have we could 90% of the time ride hardtails.
