Hello hubbers. I might be moving to Kenya, Im trying to find out what the mtb scene is like there. I found some insta accounts but they are non responsive. Has anyone ridden there? Has anone got any info on where to ride close to Nairobi? Thank you!

I’m extremely uninformed but these okes must maar moer each other. As long as my garmin works I’m happy. But… will be negative if I have to run strava on my phone and use my watch. My watch talks to Strava and Strava talks to probike garage. Mind you need to check if I can just get Garmin to talk to it. Edit: Seems like it can’t. Soomer makes me a bit negative cause I remember paying for the probike app now they also have some kind of subscriptions… Anyway if any else uses Probike Garage and has a way to sync it without Strava pls let menknown

Hahaha! True but my longest ride in the last 4 years is probably 15km so I don’t need a whole lot of stuff just the water thats my issue. Luckilly this thing can manage 3L of water and maybe a can or two of some isotonic drink so I won’t have to stop at the car to refil or hope there is something in the cominity cooler box at the top of the hill.

So the Mule hip bag arrived today. I like the fit and feel. I am a little disspointed at the packing capacity. I think once the bladder is full there will not be space for much else. Thankfully there are the twonbottle pockets or whatever and I can strap both my knee pads vas with the nettung bungy cord thing on the pack. So not overly impressed but satisfied.

Just googled that Leat pack. Looks NICE!! But I can imagine the bladder to be a pain.

Ordered from here https://visionvelo.eu/find-product-by-brand-amp-model/ Really lekker mud guard.

I had this little blue pack to start with. Could fit my phone a piesang and a gel in there. then I got this Deuter one. That one was actually really lekker. Next was a Camlebak Kudu which in theory seems lekker but it is heavy and hot. I got a lekker trail running pack, not sure what model it is but wirks lekker for solo hikes, runs. First hip pack was the Flow I think. But like one of the first models. Works really well but I’m tired of having to go back to the car to refil water etc. And I was looking for something that could take water and snaks for me and the boys so thats why I got this new Mule hip pack. 1.5L bladder and two water bottol jacks that apparantly can hold a long tom quite well… I’m really into the hip packs at the moment it is nice to feel more ventilated. Esp here in the tropics.

Hey guys. I have a 27.5” 170mm RC2 Lyric that I want to sell. Will bring it with me in December. Comes with a lot of extras. Thought I would ask here before I gooi it in the classifieds.

That first line is spot on. I get a little uit *** everytime I get one but I swear one does not fit all.

I have used so many different back pack style packs and they are lekker but do not feel lekker on hot days. i started using a small Camelbak waist pak that has a bigish compartment. I SQUASH my phone, keys, two bars, tools and a gel or two in there. Then it has a SMALL zip pouch for cards cash or in my case a buff. It has a spot for a waterbottel. I switch between the 500ml and 750ml podium bottel and neither have fallen out. Yesterday I ordered the Mule waist pack. I did so because I can carry more water when hiking with my kids and has space for trail snacks for the two of them. Edit: My spelling.

While replacing my frames bearings I noticed that the tread on the chain stay is buggered. Seems like it was an issue on the 2019 GG bikes and while they were still around they did warranty replacements on them and I can get a fresh one from Canfield but luckily there is another solution, a sex bolt. Any way. This whole thing had me pondering a new frame. Does not seem like there are too many options out there that are not MX esp frame only options.

Haha! Can’t remember where I found those but they work lekker. Need to see if I can find a place that can put some new velcro on there tho.

Wonder if I could go the same route with my 3? Glad you got sorted! I have always had good service from Garmin SA.

Thats how the race face one fits on a Ranger (The only bakkie that really matters)

You have probably bought it by now but with this one you can remove that patch and then the rear view camera can still see. i have this one and is a lekker pad.
