    I see this event is now registered on the Events page. I have heard there is a bike up for lucky draw at the end of the race. Met Hennie at the Monster, and says he has done Sani2C, Kalahari Challange, Tour de Tuli and many other races. He has found more single track for us to enjoy!!

    This is going to be an awesome ride. We did the inaugural race last year and the trails were fantastic. Something for everyone with lots and lots of single track for those offroad junkies!
  3. JoJaCa
    Just finished the Sani2c Trail. Awesome as usual. Next up the Magalies Monster. Then Konka MTB on 7 June and I cannot wait for the best single track ever on this new race!!

    Last year finish over floating bridge was lots of fun for the spectators to watch! Only one rider had a spectacular finish!

    Just done 35km of awesome riding on part of the 65km KONKA MTB race to be held on 7 June near Rustenburg (Only hour out of Joeys!) Second year of race and even better route! Lost of brilliant single track, cattle track and horse trails. Superb fun riding along "Penny Lane" in the riverine bush - very pretty. Some river crossings which will probably be dry and one nasty rocky jeep track climb- "Henno's Revenge" - which is rideable for those with good bike skills providing no-one stops in front of you! Race not to be missed coz you cannot ride the route otherwise.Trails even nicer than van Gaalens and that is saying something! Bring the family to the Konka Adventure centre - lots for them to do. I have just entered on Cycle Events. You won't be sorry and I guarantee you will be back with your friends next year too. Race designed by Hennie Fourie. Cannot wait for 7 June!

    Really looking forward to this new race - majority is single track along old horse trails and cattle paths and beautiful riverine bush tracks. Some jeep track with fantastic views. 60km takes you past the Brauhaus Amm Damm at Oliphantsnek dam near Rustenburg. Brilliant ride - try not to miss this one. Lots of fun for family and supporters at Konka Soul Adventure camp with obstacle course etc.See you there!

    as someone earlier said, the Silverback Storm 1 is one of the best value out there. Full XT, SID RL Shock 10.5 kg with Stan's Crest rims is a very good bike
  10. JoJaCa
    The Rims can be converted. Use the Stan's Rubber Rimstrip kit Put a thin layer of the yellow tape on the rim. then put this Rimstrip on the Rim. Much easier to seat a tyre.

    I've used Specialized Bibs for the past 4 years. I've been really happy with them. about R 900. Haven't been able to try others, as I've only cycled for 4 years, but IMHO Specialized are great value.
  12. JoJaCa
    Also look into KCNC components. You can lose quite a lot of weight by using their lightweight scandium components. However, If you can save a lot of weight on a set of wheels for less than R 10 000, go for it, because rotational weight makes a huge difference.
  13. JoJaCa
    They are similar weight. The XTR's are also made of Scandium Alloy - which is very strong. Personally, Keep the XTR's - they are very good, and I would say better than the SLR's

    Damn good prediction. Practically spot on. Well Done

    Specialized shoes are really impressive. Have a pair of Specialized Sport Mtb. Really happy with them. Not exactly sure on pricing for Specialized, but check them out
  16. JoJaCa
    Olympic Cycles should sell Specialized. I have the Sport Mtb shoe. It is the bottom of the range but it is still awesome.

    New Bike??

    JoJaCa replied to Ottocs's topic in Technical Q&A

    For a hardtail, I'd reckon look into the Scott Scale over the Aspect. Similar Price. It is a lighter frame and is the same geometry as the top racing scales. Then if you decide to upgrade the components later you would already have a light frame to use. Duel suss I'd look into the Merida. Giant's are very reliable. But it all depends on what you want to do. Racing - Scale, heavy trails rather go for a duel suss.

    Tire wont seal.

    JoJaCa replied to Neg's topic in Technical Q&A

    Try the Stan's rim strip. It's a rubber strap that fits tightly round the rim, comes with the valve stem pre-attached Looks like this. It works very well - better than the plain tape

    MTB Skoene

    JoJaCa replied to Buchu's topic in Technical Q&A

    specialized do make size 48. But it's which shoe fits you best. I do know that if you choose specialized and later you want to get a better pair of specialized, they will feel identical on your feet

    My opinion is Specialized. I've been using Specialized for a while. I think that they are awesome shoes. Fit is perfect for my feet. I have the base model the Sport. It's not Carbon, but I get virtually no flex in the shoe. I would imagine that the carbon versions would be even better. Also - most of the Specialized shoes fit the same using the same size (I have tried the Sworks road and it feels like my Sport).

    Help

    JoJaCa replied to Hectic's topic in Buyer’s Advice

    or look at the Scott Contessa Scale. They are the Women's versions of the Scotts

    JoJaCa replied to Hectic's topic in Buyer’s Advice

    The Scott Aspect 10 is quite well specced, but the Scott Scale range is a lighter frame. I think you can get a scale for sub R7k, with similar components to the Aspect
  23. JoJaCa
    It definitely does. There's a lot less stress on the rear wheel on a Duel Suss, but I think the Crest has a rider weight limit of 85 or 90 kg. Heavier people could ride it, but one serious drop off could damage it. Re: the Hopes, I heard they were strong hubs, they are definitely up there with the Chris Kings and those, and some people reckon that they may be slightly stronger. I selected the hopes because that was the deal provided.
  24. JoJaCa
    Well, Either way the arch and Flow rims are built for aggressive XC (The Flow is more of an All Mountain - DH Rim). So they should hold the weight. The Hope Pro 2 Evo Hub is one of the stronger hubs available. The 29 inch ZTR Crest wheelset is 1500 grams, which is light for a 29er, while the arch is 1700 g and the flow is 1800 g, which aren't too bad for 29inch bikes.
  25. JoJaCa
    I'd seriously suggest the Silverback Storm 1. Full XT with XT Brakes, SID RL Fork, Stan's ZTR Crest Wheels and. 10.4 KG for R 20 000.
