Hi Guys Does anyone know if Paul Cluver MTB trails are open yet? Cant get response by phone. thanks steve

Hi Guys Can someone recommend a reasonably priced self catering house / guest farm / rustic spot in the Stellenbosch environs? A group of 6-8 of us are looking for our next MTB weekend near Jonkers and / or G-Spot. Thanks Steve

Hi guys, A couple of mates and I are riding up from Newlands side to plum pudding to watch the riders take on (the now over manicured technical section) and wondering how far we can get actually riding, or whether we'll end up mostly walking enroute, which is fine I guess because once they're done we can have a ride anyway Thanks

okay awesome. Thanks guys. Some good ideas.

Hi guys We go on a boys MTB weekend from CT about every 3 months or so, and usually go to Oaklane near Grabouw. We're looking for a change, and are thinking about either Eselfontein Eco Huts, although it is a bit far, so are looking at Welvanpas / Wellington area. Anyone know of a good spot for between 4 and 8 guys near the trails, and are there nice routes besides Welvanpas? I assume the trails are in good shape after the Epic, and perhaps even some new ones? Still see that the yellow and black routes at Welvanpas sadly remain closed due to a dispute with the neighbouring farmer. Advice from all you Bainskloof / Wellington riders / locals much appreciated. thanks steve

Thanks for the advice. I will be checking it in for a possible repair, or replacement. I did go for a ride on Saturday (red route at Lebanon MTB in Grabouw) and it withstood some solid pounding down the single track. However, I am on the heavier side (86kg) so totally take your points that it's a weak spot - best deal with it before any cracking, or worse. Still can't understand how i did it without noticing though! Cheers s

Thanks everyone, Going for a ride today. Will let you know how it goes. best spike

Hi guys, Was horrified to discover a ding in the middle of the top bar of the rear triangle of my frame on the right side (drive train side). A rock or something very hard must of whacked the outside of the rod at high velocity because it pushes in almost halfway. I notice it bends in the middle inwards towards the wheel. The kink gap on the outside is maybe 3mm, but does 'appear' to join the axle at its usual position. Hard to tell. Should I be investing in a new rear triangle, or can I keep riding? I am worried it will cave in on a landing and bugger up more stuff that will end up much more expensive. spike
