Mountain biking is big enough to accommodate all types of riders from lycra -adoring roadies with a dirt fetish, to baggie-pants, dirt-jumping hucksters. If it gets you off to "know that you are riding something superior", knock yourself out and wear a freaking Olympic speed wetsuit if you want, think i will ride with my jeans this weekend since its getting fresher every morning up here on the highveld........

Always a smart@ss somewhere.................. I have tried lycra before, and have fallen with them, and yes they too ripped, dirt stuck to it. My shorts take the beating, no rips even after numerous rock garden dismounts.... dirt sheds off them....When it comes down to it, who cares what you wear as long as you are comfortable and ride. Too bad certain individuals have to revert to personal insinuations to make their personal opinions noticed, either way, just dont expect me to have drinks with you in your full-body spandex after my one weekly ride in the parkie.

Merely my opinion, see no reason why mountain biking needs to be drawn into a constant time trial, its about the trails, not the time (unless you running competitive then sure) Roadies wearing tights i can understand, but MTB.......hmmmmmmm, very debatable.

You will be able to get a fairly good selection at Cajees in Boksburg, they stock alot of the Indolo range, geared for MTB, and yea, its much better with baggies, leave the tights for the wives...................or roadies!!!

thanks for the update

i remember alot of furniture and food..................and hell plenty of over sized individuals, not that i have anything against it just noticed an astronomical amount of obese ppl. Well it seems then that it will be Rietvlei tomorrow instead.

LMAO.............was just wondering if it there would be any marketing by the bigger brands, would be worthwhile to make a stop for us buggers not lucky enough to go on holiday over this period?

Hey hubbers...................know if any of the "brands" will be showing of their bikes at the Rand Show, and maybe running specials ??
