  1. Awesome news, truly an African MTB team, local riders, local bike and local sponsors. Hope they take the red jersey at Epic next year. Too bad about the kit though...
  2. Apparently the driver didn't have a licence and the car wasn't road worthy or licenced to. Lets hope stricter action is taken against these bastards and not just a slap on the wrist.
  3. VERY nice, looks like loads of R&D, scared to see the price tags
  4. couldnt agree more, how can you send someone who is ranked 210th and not send our best female. disappointing when government gets involved in sport.
  5. Thanks JXV been running that setup (oneup components) for 9months now, very happy
  6. Agreed, he smoked Sabie this year and with new sponsor and backing, hopefully hes got his head on right and found some new motivation
  7. So new groupset time, currently powered along the trails by the 2 x 10 XT groupset but loving the 1x look and minimalists that comes with it. Current predicament: 1 x 10 conversion (11-36T cassette with 32T narrow width chain ring upfront) or 1 x 10 conversion (11-42T cassette, removing the 17T making space for the 42T adapter with a 34T narrow width chain ring up front) Option 1 - Cheaper but loses both bottom and top gear Option 2 - More expensive but maintains both bottom and top gear ratios on a 1 x 10 Thoughts comments... go!
  8. Site says app will be available 15 December, cant release earlier as the Big MTB Year starts on the 15th and people might get a head start, lol
  9. Great Idea, funny how the website has no mention of R200 for the app. Still not sold on the idea of not being able to use your Garmin/ Bryton,etc. cant see my smart phone lasting a full ride with GPS and data on. I think there are gonna be a few technical issues to sort out but im super keen!
  10. Maxxis Crossmarks Geax Segaros Conti X-king Protection These are your best bet, Maxxis being the cheapest and Conti most expensive. Are you running tubeless? Not sure how available these tyres are in a 650B, speak to your local bike store
  11. Had Conti x-kings on my 26" over 2000km and not a days ****, loved them!!. Upgraded to a 29er, stuck some Maxxis Ikons on, almost 2000km in and the bubbling and oozing sealant, dont recommend them at all. Most popular combination at the Epic where Geax Segaro up front and AKA on the back, just fitted them and iv heard good things. Would love to get another set of 29er Conti X-king Protections but they pricing them out of the market.
