  1. Hi Rockjock, I was going through the list of topics that I'm following and came across your post. I came across this blog a while ago, written by a bikepacker and colourful character of note. It's given me some ideas and hope it gives you some ideas too. http://bikepackingsa.blogspot.co.za/2014/12/day-1.html Cheers
  2. Second the Flow EX rim, laced to a Hope hub - rear only, not asking for too much.
  3. I second (or is that third or fourth) Linden Cycles and Mike's Bikes. I've also had good service at Cyclelab Fourways. Being based in Northcliff, these shops work well for me. It probably also depends on the relationship you build at whichever shop, there are a number of good ones.
  4. baie dankie vir al die info, en geheime. Die brille en pille deel identifiseer ek nou goed mee Ek sal Salomon SA kontak. Dankie
  5. Hi Marnitz, Dankie vir die thread en info. Waar het jy die Solomon feeder bag gekry? Ek sien OMM maak iets soortgelyks, maar nie in SA beskikbaar nie, ek hoop die feeder bag is.
  6. RIP Burry.... A legend, gentleman, all round nice guy and true ambassador for the sport, country and humanity. What a tragic loss.
  7. Tragic.. RIP fellow cyclists.
  8. So, based on that statement, we will be riding together
  9. My 2 cents. I was also considering these two and looked at reviews for both the Scandal and the EMD on mtbr.com as well as What Mountain Bike. From this, both the EMD and the Scandal came out tops. I also chatted to riders of either wherever I came across them and from this too the EMD & Scandal seemed equally good. As it seemed as if you couldn't go wrong with either the Scandal got the nod because it's so much cheaper. Now the caveat - frame sizes and colours are limited on the Scandal and I couldn't get what I was looking for. So if your size and colour preference is available, the Scandal, otherwise the EMD may be it, but I'm also eyeing the Giant now, largely based on what I get for my money. Linden Cycles at one point indicated a price around R16k with Fox fork and all.
  10. Hi Vinny, pm Racer X (there are two on the hub, the one with more posts) he's a local in Hilton and will put you in touch with Gordon from W? (a Hilton bike shop) and/or the guys from Howick cycles, they administer the Howick trails. Some secret trails the locals don't much talk about is up to Black Mountain via Cedara and down through Magic Forest. The Cumberland Classic uses much of the route - it's great. Enjoy
  11. @mtbmaranata Thanks for the Tuks idea, definitely worth having a look at. Happy trails
  12. Hi Nerice, The mtb'er I was enquiring for is back from the Epic this afternoon, I'll pass on your details. Thank you. Oh, and also - it's TRailrider and not Tailrider. Tailrider reminds me too much of the story about the Tailgunner in the navy or one of the Village People
