  1. Good work fellas. The Spruit remains a cool spot to ride even with all the 'stutter bumps'.
  2. Well there is no way I'd be buying new so I have a long wait for an appropriately priced 2nd hand beast to pop up.
  3. I must say that the new Honda Africa Twin has caught my eye... http://www.hondaprokevin.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/wpid-2016-honda-africa-twin-crf1000l-adventure-bike-crf.jpg One of the 1st DS bikes that appeals to me.
  4. It's Cape Town bru. Known to be cliquey...
  5. Nah, I'm was being serious. I was under the impression that a helmet had to be correctly fitted (on your head!) at all times while you're on the bike, whether it be open faced or full face. That said, I had a quick look on the EWS site and they don't spell out that the helmet has to be properly fitted (on your head), which I think leaves rules open to a lot of interpretation (which is never good). So it looks like you're off the hook I guess technically they don't specify that it needs to be worn on your head, so you could wear it on your elbow then on the liason stages (as long as it fits correctly ) EWS Rules on Safety Equipment: Appendix 2 that they refer to above: For completeness the EWS rules can be found HERE
  6. Nice pics as always Ewald Did Mr Hamel get a DSQ for riding with his helmet like that on the liason?
  7. Purple & orange Patches!
  8. I have and have had a helmet slip through sans duties and another attract 35% (if I remember correctly) and VAT.
  9. My happy place... It is a bit messy at the moment but it works for me
  10. Recently I've found Probike Shop to be very competitive.
  11. I'll be in Andorra in just over a weeks time so will be collecting from Commencal direct. Can't wait to put this beast together
  12. Paid for and awaiting collection http://www.commencal-store.co.uk/Files/98790/Img/04/15CMETAAMYE_2000.jpg
  13. That front triangle looks like it is straight off that Rallon, but the suspension does look similar to the old meta. The 2016 Meta AM V4 just seems to have received a tweak to the colour scheme. http://www.mtb-check.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/commencal-meta-v4-AM-2016-Red-600x400.jpg
  14. Such a cool vid. Akrigg may not have the prettiest riding style but he has phenomenal line choice. Really like his vids.
  15. I'm not sure of what the difference is between the "Super Final" and the "Final" but the SA boys certainly placed well in the "Final" standings. http://www.ixsdownhillcup.com/en/p365,2,63,8_2/Result/2015/Schladming/Result/Final
  16. Very similar as far as I understand things...
  17. I think it is for people running low pressures and really pushing corners hard (so more aimed at the DH & enduro crowd, I think). The Procore system eliminates (or reduces) the chances of the tyre burping or running off the rim.
  18. It is almost identical to the Nue Tech Tubliss system without the rim-lock. http://nuetech.com/wp-content/themes/tubliss/assets/img/product/tubliss/how-it-works/dual-air-chambers.jpg
  19. Seems like there is plenty info on ghetto options out there... http://forums.mtbr.com/wheels-tires/ghetto-home-made-procore-dual-chamber-diy-928600.html http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/ghetto-pro-core-anyone-tried-it http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10004&t=12981525 http://www.pinkbike.com/u/sinki/blog/diy-ghetto-procore.htmlFor me, I'm not sure if the Schwalbe system is worth the cash and I don't think the DIY option is worth the effort.
  20. In reality we have 8 - 10 girls who ride/race the KZN DH regional series (most from KZN & 1 or 2 from JHB). Most of the ladies are either elite or sub-vet. Beanie is the only regular junior girl, so there is no point to her racing against herself. That said Beanie is no slouch and has been on the podium in (almost) every race so I think her inclusion in the elite category is a good thing.
  21. Agreed! Would love to race my backyard trails. Also, agree with these trails being super underrated. Love the Howick trails.
