This if it works looks really interesting https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dustydynamics/shockwiz-automated-suspension-tuning-for-mountain Kickstarter: ShockWiz Brings Automated Suspension Tuning to Mountain Bikes http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/ShockWiz-Mounted-600x403.jpg Like no other hobby, mountain biking is the melding of man and machine. It’s why we spend outrageous sums of money on titanium hardware, and enormous amounts of time researching new technologies. The obsession and passion surrounding new frame models is often equaled or surpassed only by discussions on suspension (and where to drink post ride). In order to help make suspension acquisition data readily available to armchair engineers and forum dwellers everywhere, Dusty Dynamics had launched a new Kickstarter campaign around their ShockWiz Automated Suspension Tuner. http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/ShockWiz-Mounted-2-600x394.jpg The small apparatus weights 45g and mounts to any air shock or fork. http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/ShockWiz-Smartphone-AP-Screenshot.jpg Once connected to your suspension via a Schrader valve, the ShockWiz sends feedback to your phone regarding pressure/sag/etc… http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/ShockWiz-Smartphone-Ap.jpg From there, you can enter your weight and riding style to generate tuning recommendations. As you ride, the system will sample your spring pressure at 100hz, evaluate the suspension characteristics, and spit out recommendations. The system can also generate a shock health score, to help indicate how well your suspension is setup. An additional feature, which doesn’t influence shock tuning (but is apparenlty good for settling bets) is the system’s ability to record air time. Currently the ShockWiz has 59 backers and is $54,166 shy of reaching it’s goal. If you’re interested, the super early bird price is $259, and there are still 31 days left in the Kickstarter Campaign.

Got it at the expo at the Cape Union Mart for R5999

Was hoping for somewhere in Cape Town. Maybe the expo tomorrow

I am also looking for the Edge 810 performance bundle, if anyone has a good source

Who is Regin?

The way you ride and the amount of times you ride, i wouldn't bother

Nicely done, as Leet said game on

The fat arse in front of you was tired, and i still claim that the stump jumped out at me. and PoS thats a nice time, would like to see how you do it, give me something to aim at.

Was hot today, did some of the tracks a couple of times. We (Leet) managed to improve our times on downhill 2, i have had a 24 sec last year, but that was when the trail was better. Did a 30sec today which felt quite good, but i am sure i can knock a few seconds off that as i relearn the trail. My roots was a disaster today, first run i aborted just before the jump, thought i had a flat, i was wrong. 2nd attempt decided to try the jump for the first time, came in skew and made it but almost didnt make the berm. Then on the sharp left and down at the tree, i got confused when a tree stump i dont remember being there jumped into the middle of the trail, went the high side of it and ended falling of the side of the trail on the exit, still made a 50 sec. So i reckon we should be able to get it into the high 30's with a bit more practise. Good day's riding, but damn someone needs to switch the aircon on up there

What's a good time for this section, we did a mid 40's in that video, how does that compare?

mmmmm you didnt ask permission to show my fat belly

Will be the other old fart on a blue reign with slightly less of a stomach and not a fox flux helmet

You need to get a MTB permit at R200, unfortunately this has to be attached to a card. The cheapest option is the Cape Green card at R80, this gives you 12 visits to one of their areas. However you can use it for MTB as many times as you like, ie its valid for a whole year at Tokai for MTB. So total cost for a year is R280 You need to take 4 id photos Copy of ID or Drivers Proof of residence

To answer the original question, :thumbup: :thumbup: I haven't yet found anywhere that matches the variety of riding that can be had at Tokai. the only downside for me is the cutting of all the trees as i am like an old car, i overheat very quickly. Give me -5C and im happy, upwards of 25C and i start to suffer so the genocide with the trees really gets me

Don't worry Leet, you know you always push yourself harder when you have an audience. Not too much though, i am not carrying you down the mountain
