Hey Richard I have not been able to ride much since I last joined you guys...I would love to ride again.. Do you guys ride during the week as well?...if so how far?

I can't register on the entrytime website? I keep getting the same error "The username that you selected is not unique, please try another!" I have tried several?

Hey guys where can we get more details and sign up for this race? I cant seem to find anything... oh wait once I opened my eyes I realized I was being an idiot... for all other idiots (LIKE ME) click here

thanx for the feedback guys. I will check out some new tyres. I will do the odd race but mainly ride for the love of it...so want good tyres but don't require the best off to the shop I go....

Hi guys I want to get rid of the tubes so now I need to know: do I convert my current tyres (original tyres on Merida Matts 100) or do I buy new tubeless tyres? Your thoughts please...

I'm so bummed that I couldn't go...I see there is another in January? I will make sure that I will attend the next one.

Dude don't let anybody tell you it's slow or anything - keep it fun for yourself. I stopped at a set of traffic lights and a guy with a really nice bike stopped next to me. I turned and said "howzit"...he ignored me flat...probably because his full suspension bike is waaay better and he can't be seen near me I did 30km yesterday and did it with an average 22.6km/h...i was very satisfied and can also see my progress...

Why would I do that?

It sounds perfect for a first race then I am quite excited now...thanx again man...see you guys there tomorrow!

Thanx for your reply Jules I am still a newbie...so please excuse all the questions....what is "sneering" I have a hard tail...will those rocks get the better of me...lol

Hey guys...any of you know if I can still register tomorrow? Also, I have not entered any races before, how would you rate the difficulty level of this race (35km)

I am so keen! I am afraid I might not be able to keep up with the guys, I would hate to slow down the pace. I am still working on my fitness levels I will not manage 80km...

thanx for getting in touch, i am keen. Is the 50-80km mostly road or off road?

I am interested to know how far you guys ride during the week...and if you know of MTB rides from the same area?

Hey I would also like to join if there is a group.

Guys I hope this is not a dumb question...but do any of these clubs do MTB rides as well? I would like to get fit and ride with some people...I was held up (not cycling related) and it does make me nervous to ride on my own now...

Hey guys I live in Boksburg and I am also interested to ride on Sundays. MTB I have just bought myself a bike and would like to meet up with some guys. Need to get fit!

I agree...it makes more sense...but I really can't find any Large bikes in the second hand section...I have checked Junkmail, Gumtree etc...

Ok guys I have seen some more bikes that I like... If you had to choose between the Scott Aspect 40 or the Merida Matts 100 or the Giant Revel 00 Which one would you choose!?

Thanx guys...I appreciate all feedback I have considered 2nd hand bikes but I don't seem to find many large frames... I don't mind buying a used bike... I don't think I will do any heavy riding. I would like to meet up with some guys and do some off road and on road too...no downhill

Thanx for the feedback. I do like the Scott very much. Most shops I have been to don't have a big variety of bikes in my price range...

Hey guys. Just joined the forum. I want to buy an entry level MTB to start riding. I know there is literally 1000's of bikes to choose from, so I had a look around and saw a few I liked. Scott Aspect 40 (2012) Trek 3700 (2012) I actually saw the Scott in a shop and I really liked it. I have also noticed the Silverback range... Also saw these online... Felt Q600 and Felt Q220 and Felt Q250 So any feedback will be appreciated. I am looking to build up my fitness and meet some people to ride with. I have not ridden in over 10 years after a bad accident, so I am not too clued up on the brakes and group sets etc... Thanx guys!
