Thanks Bontie, but only know his first name.

>DO NOT MOUNT YOUR BIKE RACK ON A DEFENDER DOOR - The wheel alone on these is a design flaw - the bike rack will warp you rear door and give endless trouble. > I had the spare wheel bracket reinforced with a swing arm when I had my Defender which allows it to take the extra weight with no problems. On my Disco I added a metal plate behind the nuts on the bracket which also allows it to handle the extra weight without a problem. Having the rack on the spare wheel works well. You can open/close the door without any hassle which you might have if mounted from the towbar.

I have a Thule which fits directly onto my spare wheel of my vehicle and carries 2 bikes. I also reinforced the spare wheel bracket to make it stronger. Got it from Thule agents, Load and Go (021 424 5823) in Cape Town.

If anybody knows how to contact Hub user "phemanderac" I'd appreciate it if you can please PM me his details.

I got my local LBS to get me these http://www.notubes.com/product_info.php/products_id/441. You can order them online as well. Good tyre in most conditions. I ride mainly dirt hard pack with them. No problems thus far.

PM me your email address.

[Mampara]So did he race in the SA champ colours?] Very cool kit off https://www.mtbworldscanberra.com.au/news/

You have to go through Villersdorp towards Worcester. If you're on a MTB then I can send you a route which is approx. 120km from Villersdorp to Bonnievale .

I ride on my own most of the time and always ride on the wrong side of the road when I feel it is safe to do so. If I'm on a tar section I also try and ride on the dirt shoulder, if possible, facing the oncoming traffic.

There are some very cool areas to ride in over there. Spent a lot of time riding my Cyclo-X in the forest in and around Soest, Apeldoorn and Arnhem. Lots of muddy singletrack. BTW, once did a 187 km ride and did all of 36m ascending.

After all this RP hype .... which RP is recommended for MTB riding?

Settings for RP23 Setting Sag You can also view a Flash video on Setting Sag. To set sag: Measure sag , and compare it to the recommended sag setting shown in the Air Spring Setting Guidelines table below. Continue if the sag is not to specification. Locate the Schrader air valve on the shock and remove the air valve cap. Screw the FOX Racing Shox High Pressure Pump onto the air valve until the pump shows pressure on the gauge. Do not over-tighten. Add air pressure until desired pressure is shown on the gauge. Refer to the Air Spring Setting Guidelines table below for the proper sag setting. Unthread the pump from the air valve and measure sag. Repeat steps 2-5 until proper sag is achieved, then replace the air valve cap. AIR SPRING SETTING Guidelines Shock Travel (in./mm) Sag (in./mm) 1.00/25.4 .25/6.4 1.25/31.7 .31/7.9 1.50/38.1 .38/9.5 1.75/44.4 .44/11.1 2.00/50.8 .50/12.7 2.25/57.1 .56/14.2
