DR ◣◢

I'm built for comfort, not speed.

Same with mine. Starting to rust after about a month on the bike. - Couple of muddy rides - 2 bike washes with Dirt Nurse I'm starting to have second thoughts about buying certain Lyne items again. First issue was a chainring that lasted only 1000km and now a tool that is meant to be exposed to the elements rusting. Good solutions at good prices with great marketing behind it. Is the quality there though... Edit: Rephrased portion in bold.

Stayed with the 30t. I just bought the chain that is on the bike and spending another R1000 on a chain didn't appeal to me.

Mine arrived yesterday as well. Installed it but haven't had a chance to test it. Hopefully I'll be recovered by the weekend to test it.

Have you tried the classifieds?

A good safe spot is Big Red Barn in Centurion and then Taroko Trails in Modderfontein. I’ve ridden both alone multiple times with complete confidence. Couple of other spots like Northern Farms as well to consider. Good idea to find someone that will be keen on showing you around. AVOID: The spruit and delta park unless you’re in a large group. 3 attacks in the last 3 days.

Completed my entry. What do I have to lose.

Excellent. I stayed there on year. Great accommodation.

I was considering that. Wasn't 100% sure if that would be a good idea but looks like it is. Will definitely clean this one up at some stage and try it again. Not sure if it is even worth it considering the quality of the Lyne one. The replacement SRAM is perfect for now. Can't wait to try the oval.

Looks like the church at the old post office in Curries Post.

At some point they do the wrong person in and it ends up in a very unpleasant situation. Saw this first hand when a guy scammed the wrong group of people for an expo that never happened. Nothing was ever the same for him.

I’m sorry Tuan but your post makes trusting you even harder. I’m sure there is some wood to be fetched somewhere else.

Leopards and spots...

Pricing was also too good to be true. 50% discounts, R999 deals. I almost fell for this to surprise my fiancé with a “tour” Shame on you Tuan. But i’ve seen your MO so many times. You take the money, cancel the event, and when called out you refund or claim to refund one person to restore the faith. Or is this a case of taking money from Peter to pay back Paul? Needless to say I feel that Admin should be looking into you a lot closer.

Ah... the wood fetcher

Ended the year on my hardest and fastest ride. Great way to celebrate my return to riding six months ago. This is exactly how I still feel. Legs up and a little dizzy nursing a good beer ???? Speedy 2020.1 to you all

Can we do a Zoom call instead?

I see a lot of nothing in that video to be honest. I see a lot crying in the post though.

Did you run into any of those fern looking plants that grow into the trail and turns out belongs to the devil himself? I went up to the Lebanon fire tower one afternoon and descended through Gauntlet, Sahara, and Voodoo Lounge. Then from the top (as far as my legs could go) I went down Windsong. More of them there. By the time I got back to the club both my arms and legs were bleeding and my shirt was looking less than ideal. Sorry about your crash man. You didn't run out of talent from the sounds of it. More like ran out of bike.

Brilliant. Already booked accommodation for Easter Weekend. Definitely going to tackle the 37km. Two segments that I definitely want to hit is The Bachelor and Isikhova. Hopefully dry trails this time.

I'm not even sure where I made it. By the time I climbed to the top / start of the blue trail for the 23km I couldn't even think straight anymore. From there I picked up a jump/flow line that kept going and going and going. I took that all the way to the bottom and out to the car park. It looked fairly well ridden so I doubt it was the new section.

Quick trip out to Wolwespruit on Monday. Some serious leg breaker climbs towards 10km but the flow track heading down to the start is well worth it. Yesterday was a trip out to Red Barn to sharpen up some skill on technical and jumping.

I've had great results with my old Hero+ running a chest mount. Surprisingly stable. I run the GoPro upside down on the mount to get my angle perfect. I edit in Premier on desktop and LumaFusion on iPad.

It has been a very expensive 6 months already. Had to replace derailleur, chain, chainring. All at 1000km. The SunRace MZ903 cassette im using has a niggle right in the middle of the cassette 21/24t that no amount of fiddling can get rid of. After some research it seems like spacing on the gears isn't quite perfect from the factory. That is pretty much the only reason I want to replace the cassette.
