Yip and if it's a 31.6 then I guess a grinder

That Langster in the window is really cool, love the 'sayings' all over the bike .... Dangle, mmmmm doubt he'll be back - he had a lot of knowledge to offer ......

As a matter of interest how much is the RavX one?

+1! Even I am not that vociferous

Ah that explains it

Sorry TW but during my last trip to Dubai ميدان مصارعة الديكة was not used but rather ختم سخيفة

I reckon it has more to do with the Specialized than the 9'r

Dude like I said in my original post this was written by my boet Dangerous Dan, remember the chirpy oke with the orange bike?

OK OK I'll ask Slowbee to remove this topic so y'all can have a peaceful Friday and go on your merry way

Mmmm dude best I don't comment

From Dangerous Dan my 2011 Epic partner, training partner and he just happens to be my older brother Keeping in mind that Dangle built him a Niner HT just a week before Epic, he had never ridden a Niner before! After his comment during the race 'hey Ben big wheel keep on turning' it has been christened 'Proud Mary' and he has just bought a Jet9 FS which is 'Proud Mary II' so he is for sure not unhappy! Funny how .... When I didn't have a 29" circus bike with ox wagon wheels (AND the compulsory red nose.. Oh sorry that comes from drinking too much!), everyone said that they are so much better than a 26", I had my doubts! Now that I have one, everyone tells me how trash they are and that the 26" fairy toy bike is still the best by far. I have my doubts! Wish they'd make up their minds! Luckily I have both so I don't really care. If the one really is junk I'll ride the other and visa-versa. By the way, for what it's worth, and I now have the experience (and the credibility, after riding Epic... on a 29" hard tail!) to say this ..... Both are great fun and not one is significantly better than the other (in some ways the one is better and in others not). They different but the one is not significantly better than the other! Those that say that are just justifying their purchase and fooling themselves (problem is they are showing those that know better how ignorant they are). Burry and Christoff at the XC champs were 2 places apart, Burry on his 29" Hard Tail, Christoff on his 26" Full Suspension. Yes Burry fell (2x) and bent his derailleur or whatever but still. I don't remember a 29" winning any of the races comes to think of it, I think that says a lot. Regarding a 29" rolling over everything.... That wasn't my experience and Burry confirmed that on the last lap of the World Cup! Bla, bla, bla, bla........ And I post this merely as a bit of fun so keep the flamethrowers in the cupboard

Dangerous bikes them sudo '29rs'

We plan to maybe have a quick spin through there around 3pm or so Monday anyway ... weather permitting (I now I'm a fair weather cyclist) and of course of I get a pink slip from my wife

Had a couple of rides in Scottburgh and a ride though Rietvlei Zoo Farm - WOW what a difference between my 07' Epic to this 2010 version

Uhhhm on mothers day

From the N12 - Comaro Off Ramp Take Comaro Off Ramp Turn left into Comaro Road. 4th Robot turn left into Michelle Avenue. Turn right at first robot (Hennie Alberts Str) Drive until you reach Swartkoppies Road Robot Turn right into Swartkoppies Road and travel approx 1.5km until you reach Rietvlei Farm entrance on the right. Follow the signs in the farm From West N12 - Klipriver Take Klipriver Off Ramp 2nd Robot, turn right into Klipriver Road 7th Robot, turn left into Swartkoppies Rd Travel Approx 1.4km, turn left into Rietvlei Farm. Google is your friend!

I have probably ridden more laps of the Rietvlei course in it's various forms (even before Cyclehub was there) than most people but I must say that the current course as it has been changed in the few weeks since I last rode it before Epic is absolutely awesome The new bridges are clearly built to last although maybe not as 'exciting' to ride as the old wooden ones, the return of the Japanese garden (I haven't ridden it since I cracked 3 ribs there more than a year ago) and how it has been improved just blew me away - the new blue sections were great, I'll have to do a bit of work on my skills to 'flow' through there but looking forward to it 1 or 2 blue sections I missed out today but hey I'll be out there lots next week It seems that I may one of the very few that ride up Wendells revenge passed the rondawels and down the pool downhill, don't people like it GOOD JOB Wendell and co
