  3. Any news on the location yet?
  4. Leill Thomas He built some of the first single track in the george area that has now gone lost,and also for allowing me to mow his lawn for pocket money so I could afford bike parts Marius de waal, owner of cycle and sports that sponsored our band of misfits Hannes "visbrein" neethling Being an awesome skilled rider, saw him take the Big Ficksburg duel course double riding his hardtail on shimano clip in pedals wearing his trusted stokies. Linus Van onselin awesome rider Brian Strauss awesome rider and manager and motivator.
  5. That's a road tyre wonder. How far he will inflate a mtb 29er tyre.

  7. Coolheats mtb stock always arrives 3 weeks after epic. . And yes if xtr/xt/slx is bled the wrong way you chuck away the lever. (xt and slx are the same only colour is different. . And the price)
  8. Got my 2 tickets!!
  9. Sorry. Porqui working of my phone and something went wrong there. What I meant to say was. That 29 er are a bit harder to handle when it comes to sharper corners and technical stuff(except that it rolls over certain things a bit better. Some guys I know didn't crash on their 26" bikes but since they have moved to 29" are crashing a lot more, the one almost wrote off his elbow after the second hard crash. These were on trails they regularly rode. Hope this clarifies what I meant to say
  10. Generally a 26" bike is easier to handle for less experienced riders and even%

    Greyton Tour

    At the route description it seems that you will have the option to singletrack on the second day, so might be more jeep track.
  12. Bottom line some people are idiots. Some ride like shmucks on te road( bikes and cars) other make snotty comments on the hub.
  13. Check out. X fusions website, try to get in contact with jaco from the bike shed.
  14. X-fusion also has I nice option, the one thing that I like is the remote, it has a lever that can be pushed towards any angle and is less likely to break in a event of crash
  15. The silverback slade will be awesome value for money and they have a great geometry going
  16. 26" or 650b/27.5 for lady friend. 26" handles easier than a 29er. Especially for shorter people
  17. Who is the rider, would like to see the footage from a spectator point of view
  18. Pedestrians are idiots when crossing the road, one morning while commuting I unfortunately/fortunately took out one. I saw him crossing the road 50m before a zebra stripes, saw he didn't see me and started to go around him. He had earphones on looking down on his phone. When he saw. Cruisin got a fright and jumped back right in front of me. Kop aan kop collision. Luckely he wasn't hurt to bad and walked home with a bloody nose. I apologised profusely.
  19. Roomys bak behoort lekker te werk
  20. It's great to see guys that actually mtb in photo shoot and no " posers" ;p
  21. http://www.hypoxico.com/products/sleep-training-products/ When I was training I. Wanted one of these. Can't remember where I read it, but they said it is better to rest at high altitude and train at sea level. Maximum performance during training and limited oxygen during rest increases redblood cells
  22. Anyone see this? Don't know if there is a post for this, but looks like a good idea, don't. Quite like the guide idea and the guy looks like a noob when he is in traffic in his video. But the weight and simplicity is great. But you won't be able to pedal with normal shoes. http://www.bikerumor.com/2014/03/07/kickstarter-the-infinity-pedal-revolutionizes-clipping-in/
  23. Then why did he finish number 50?
  24. Save yourself a lot of trouble in future and go to manual lockout
  25. Does anyone have video footage of LBK through the rock garden?
