[Scott Spark Team AXS - Your opinion]

56 minutes ago, Furbz said:

Buy it. you will not regret it.

I have one, the ride is telepathic.

It gives me so much confidence over jumps or in the air.

had no issues at all with dirt so far. 

if you slam the bars the switch levers will contact the top tube in a fall which is irritating as mine is scratched now and its expensive to fix and will certainly happen again.

i did have the opportunity to swap out for the fox front fork, which i took. But thats personal preference. i just prefer the way fox forks ride.

i have no interest in owning another bike as yet, i really really love the way mine rides.

Awesome! Many thanks! 

[Scott Spark Team AXS - Your opinion]

Hi all ,

Looking to buy a Scott Spark RC Team AXS model.

Anyone that ride the same bike that can share some info regarding the comfort of the ride; suspension???

Also would like to know if a lot dirt gets into the new internal shock. seem to be a place where a lot of dirt can get in.

Your honest opinions please

Meerendal has seen the biggest change in this time .... totally neglected and pretty messed up, until about a year ago.  Patrick has done a decent job of repairing most of it.

 

Slow first ride to scout for the bits still needing TLC.  

 

Dorstberg climb has been redone.  Turn up BEFORE rhe bench after Stairway to Heaven.

 

The Dorstberg decent is nice ... but take your time to learnt it .... been a few broken cyclists there ....

 

 

Not sure of Hoogekraal.

 

 

Rest pretty much as you remember it ... obviously wirh a few small layout changes.

 

 

BIGGEST change .... risky cycling to the trails from the sea side .... plenty redistribution incidences ....

Thank you for the info! Much appreciated

Good evening all MTB'ers and Hubbers

If all goes well I will be back on the trails again by hopefully end of May after 3 years of no bike and riding due the financial impact of covid 19......YES......only recovering now 😞

Been a member of the club since 2010 but obviously since 2021 not, so I'm really looking forward to get back in the saddle and meeting like minded people again.....I can do with some motivation to get rid of my "bier pens" and "wine drinking" 🙂

Is it safe to ride alone on some of the Tygerberg Trails, I use to ride Bloemendal; Majik Forrest and a lot of the Klipheuwel / Fair Cape Trails alone....was all fine back then but surely things have changed.

Feel free to share some feedback and even contacts for joining groups..... I live in Pinehurst, Durbanville

See ya on the trails soon!

Best Regards

[First Look: Specialized Epic 8]

Blêrrie belaglik man!!!! Waar gaan dit stop…..Specialized is waaaaaaay over priced as mens kyk na ander brands wat tans hulle nuwe bikes launch R295k vir ‘n fiets!!!! Faaaaaakit finansier hom en betaal nog meer vir die ding …..maar o’ja daar moet mos s-works of specialized op fiets staan anders is jy nie cool nie

[The Specialized Epic WC wants to kill the hardtail]

[Review: Titan Racing Cypher RS Carbon Ultimate]

Jeeezzzz I really hope that all of you are pro’s, didn’t know weight of a bike will make you a better rider, ride more and loose some weight, much better!

I think this is great value for money and if I’m correct Bike Addict sold them for R109 000 at one stage, so even better!

S-works / Specialized over rated, R240 000 for a bike is ridiculous, but still people buy them / finance them because of the brand.

Give Titan Racing the credit for developing well priced / speced bikes and I’m 200% sure there is more to come

[Scott Spark, what is my size?]

Hi Hubbers

I’ve been out of cycling for almost 2years and keen to get back into mountain biking.

I’m looking at any Scott Spark bike from 2021 upwards but on previous bike I had , I was Large. 

My height is 1.84m

Most people is telling me when buying a Scott Spark , I should get an XL???? Weird for me as I don’t want to be uncomfortable on bike, most bike shops don’t have demo models to test ect.

Any advice or info you can share with me will be much appreciated.

[Scott Spark 2022 - Suspension Review?]

Hoekom sit die LBS nie net loctite in die eerste keer wat hulle dit doen nie? 

Dan gaan dit mos nie weer los draai nie? 

My Genius  se pivot bolts moes na die eerste paar rides weer vasgetrek word. Die lbs het als afgehaal, grease en loctite opgesit waar nodig, en 'n jaar later het ek nog nie weer 'n bout moes vastrek nie. 

Ek weet nie hoekom nie, juis die rede hoekom ek vra.

 

Het ook nog nie die fiets nie, maar dit is goed om te weet en jou voorstel maak sin.

[Scott Spark 2022 - Suspension Review?]

Mirrag Hubbers!

Enige van julle wat al 'n nuwe Spark het of gery het?

Wil graag uit vind oor die suspensie agter, by LBS gehoor dat daar pivot issues is, so nou moet jy elke keer die shock aflblaas , oop maak onder die frame (glo die nuwe tegnologie) en dan pivot vas draai en dan weer shock opblaas? Klink na moeite en ek oorweeg dalk in toekoms een.

Neem kennis ek is geen bike mechanic nie en het nog nooit kennis gehad oor die tipe goed nie so ek hoop ek verduidelik reg ????

Julle terugvoering oor die suspensie en general review van die spark sal nice wees.

Dankie

[Specialized Epic Suspension Setup]

3 hours ago, Riaan H said:

My question exactly.

Weight, favorite trail and riding style are good starting points on doing setup. Your weight will determine a starting point for air pressure, while your favorite trail and riding style will determine whether to add or potentially remove air from that starting point before you start playing with the fork and shock's rebound settings, plus the Brain Fade comes into play as well. No shop or person will be able to just tune the setup for you, there's lots of fiddling involved which you will need to do over time while riding with a shock pump at hand.

What is your goal with setting up your bike, and how does it currently feel to you? Is it too harsh, or does it buttom-out? Have you played around with any of the settings yet?

 

For me it is to hard, looking for a more “plush” feeling if it make any sense?

Played around with the brain settings but still it doesn’t feel right to me.

Maybe need to go that route with hand pump

[Specialized Epic Suspension Setup]

Can anyone please help or point me in the right direction.....

I’m looking for someone in Cape Town (Northern Suburbs) to help me fine tune my S-Works Epic’s suspension.

No sorry .....I had no luck at local Specialized dealers.

I don’t want the normal “whats your weight” / “where do you normally ride” / ect ect

Latest on Koeberg?

[Anyone using Zwift?]

what is a good spec laptop? how much memory do you have & processor? maybe change the settings to focus all the memory on the game & see if that does the trick for you.

 

 Sorry I'm no IT expert but it is a 8gb RAM and i5 processor

[Anyone using Zwift?]

I’m using a good spec laptop, it worked perfectly before taking and uploading pics but not sure what is wrong now.

 

Unfortunately I don’t have apple tv :-(

[Discovery Health - Vitality & Team Vitality plus everything else you need to know]

'for free' is actually R15 (150 miles) - once a month (we'll see if it's available again next month at that price)

 

Thanks to a few family members, my Netflix is now paid for until next year Feb...

 

 Not bad for R15.....where and how do you sign up for that?

 

I'm on Vitality from 1st of May (3month trail period) to see if its all worth it, coming over from Momentum 

[Discovery Health - Vitality & Team Vitality plus everything else you need to know]

Did I read correctly or can someone say if this is true....

 

When reaching your goals on Vitality Rewards, you get Netflix for free?

[Anyone using Zwift?]

Why is Zwift photos that gets uploaded black / blank?

 

I even tried taking snap shots from the companion app and still black / blank?

 

Not that it is important to me but just curious to know why......

[Discovery Health - Vitality & Team Vitality plus everything else you need to know]

Can anyone confirm if you pay R410 pm for Family Vitality, does that include the R89 pm for Vitality Active?

[Koeberg Nature reserve closed to public]

Any news when Koeberg will reopen?

 

I looooove riding from Durbanville to Koeberg and back, nice 100km+ ride so can’t wait to do it again.....

 

But then again, I’ve seen some new “shacks” that popped up on your way to Sunningdale, Du Noon is expanding
