Haha! Touche

Lets do a trade... you guys teach me about mountain biking and I shall teach you about stuff outside of it. Deal?

Instagram is that annoying picture filter application that makes all your photos look old and outdated. Facebook bought it for a couple of billion dollars which means that even more people are going to transform crappy photo's into something that looks cool.

So you guys are the hipsters... the old cameras and funky glasses. The ones who use instagram on a daily basis

So in a nutshell, more of a challenge.... and slightly mad too. If an SS biker fell and no one was around to hear.... would they make a sound?

Excuse my ignorance... but surely SS (I am assuming single speed) is a lot less practical and slower? What is the reasoning behind SS? I did the first trailseeker and loved it. Planning on doing my second one in July.

Cool thanks - Guess I am shopping this weekend

Sorry for the long post - Just wanted to thank everyone... You guys have certainly helped a lot and saved me some time and money! Hope to see you guys on the trails. Christopher

Haha thanks for the tip - I'll have a look at the prices. Been there, done that - the other day I did an adventure run. I was wondering why the girls were sprinting past me so fast with a horrified expression on their faces. When I got home, I realised that my pants were ripped at the back and my bloody boxers as well Had a good laugh though... hopefully I'll never see any of those people again

Haha! Funnily enough - someone just said that to me in the office... thanks again

Ah! Pity... I had thought I had a bargain... Thanks for the advice

Cool - will have a look. Thanks for the help

I saw those Serfas... so they are not bad?

Will do thanks

Surely you only have to pay for delivery costs to South Africa? I mean if it's an extra R100 on the price I can handle that

Haha... why thank you. I am loving it so far - been doing quite a bit of trail riding. Seems "holes in your shins" is the norm in this sport First stop Trailseeker series, next stop Epic!

Many thanks

Thanks - Where are they situated?

Wow, quick responses! Thanks to the both of you... I will have a squiz at Sportsman's warehouse.

Anyone have any tips on buying equipment? I am looking to buy pants, gloves and shoes. I have a bike (Silverback strider) and have done a few races which I have really enjoyed. Are there any cheap shops out there? I am not looking to break the bank as I am just staring out... Looking for shoes around R400 - R500. Pants for R300 - R400. You get my spend bracket. I have looked at chain reaction cycles and they seem to be the best so far. Every other shop is at least triple the price! Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks in advance
