Wernt there one with garden route trail park?
I run a Vittoria Barzo 2.2 front and Vittoria Suguaro 2.2 back, the Vittoria's for my riding style is just awesome, very forgiving, I believe I would have lost some teeth if it wasn't for this combo. Most of my buddies are running Spez Fasttrack, good value for money but I wont do to technical stuff on them. I ran them and the sidewall just did not hold up as it should have.
there is a bike for every rider out there, its got nothing to do with brands, dont let people tell you that one brand is better that another. Find the bike thats right for you!. You can only do this by knowing what type of rider you are. I am a Scott Fan. I think Scott bikes a beautiful, yet I am riding a Giant Anthem X at this stage. Why, because its a plusher ride and gives me more options than the Spark 920 I had. Similar spec bikes, The Scott out performed the Giant on the fast XC tracks, but the Giant out performs the Scott on more technical loose rocky stuff and are more stable than what the Spark was. Both brilliant bikes, but the Giants suspension lets me hit little bit bigger jumps than the Scott.
the hardtails outclimbs the Duals on gravel road / dirt roadie type climbs
the duals outclimbs the hardtails on loose rocky technical climbs
which is better, red or blue?
just find your bike and be happy with it. your bike is the best bike!
I got the dreaded "Unsuccessful Application" mail. Do you think if you entered for this year's CTCT and then did not take part it would have counted against you?
I believe so, I also was unsuccessful, sad thing is I have done the last 5, but on my way Sunday morning to the start this year I was involved in an accident that prevented me to ride, now what has become somewhat of a tradition of going down to CT and spending the Saturday with the kids at the junior tour is down the drain,
thanks it kinda makes senseIn C it should be almost locked in T it should have a "valved" feel and in D it should be fully open.
Clear difference between all. It should in other words be like the bike in the shop... Maybe the problem is the lever itself - sometimes it jest needs put together correctly...
To clarify the above - your shock might be within spec etc etc but the operation of the lever is not doing what it should...
not close to 50 hours since new, probably not even 20, but I can check my logs to make double sureIt needs a service...
so did you feel a difference on the shop model shock? and you don't feel a difference on your own bike
the bike in the shop has a big difference on the climb setting vs trail and descend yes, I believe mine was better as well, but cant really remember because I never really lock / use climb mode, it was per chance that I found the settings doesn't really differ
no one?... question above.... really? ..... come on.... this is the hub after all 
got a question, maybe the wrong thread but I dont want to start a new one just for this, I noticed after about 3 months of riding my 2014 Anthem X adv that the settings on the shock in CTD doesn't differ at all/ very little, I went to the shop, felt another bike and could feel the lock out or climb mode vs trail and descend, the owner of the shop also thought it would be best to send away under warranty, Fox now came back saying the shock is in spec, but they can set it to be stiffer but would cost about R500 , ideas? should the difference be very little, does it depend on the model? I ride 99.9999 % in trail but I could swear that I thought the lockout was better than the nude that I have on my 2014 Scott
ball park figure to spray a frame? got a 2014 Scott 920 I want to do in all black
probably not the right forum, but being new to Giant Family, what is the difference between anthem 3/4/X
Recently moved to this oukie, got a real good price on a 2014 shock not locking out so have to go back, must say I have been struggling with her quit a bit the past 3 months but I believe we are past our differences 
I have a Fittrack kit which is Decca, no complaints,
I want to piss off the wife, looking to get a old single cylinder thumper, xt 500 , xr 500 dr 500, type bike, busy selling my Scott CR1 or willing to trade it
looks like the fork is the wrong way around...

hahhahahaha epic, that fork is the wrong way around
Paid 780 from Middleburg MPU to George last week
come to George, we'll show you some of most scenic routes around the Garden Route, The MTB trail park, Hakerville, Saasveld, Witfontein to many to name
oeps sorry I didnt see you are from Hermanus, you take the route from Oudtshoorn to the caves, but turn left towards swartberg pass, you turn around again just before hitting the gravel same way back and the turn towards the caves again, the first 50 -60 km is a drag with two or three lekker climbs, and then you get the cango caves climb, short but very steep, from there is lekker going back
you take the tar road out past wilgel wandel turn of to swartberg turn around where you get to the gravel road, same way back, but turn left again and make a turn at the cango caves and then strait home
I think its moer funny, but the bike shop should have taken off the advert after the first incident, I would most definitely reply and sommer cc the director in,
i wouldn't even go down there with two wheelsLooks cool, but think I'll stick to two wheels.
