  1. Thanks straatvark and jan. Useful info Lekker trap!
  2. Can anyone be so kind and advice me on the following: - a MTB route from Brackenfell to Stellenbosch: What is the route through the allowed farms and Bottelary MTB trails? - MTB safety in Stellenbosch: Except J-hoek, how safe is Eden through to Paradyskloof these days? For a solo rider or max 2 riders?
  3. 680mm this is probably the machine he used on Saturday http://www.jaroslavkulhavy.cz/en/index.php?page=bikes
  4. can't agree more! and another odd R600 for Tygerberg MTB Club and you have access to 4/5 well maintained tracks/trails for a year still under a grand! just love the WC! I lived up Gauteng for a while and I really feel sorry for the MTB'ers
  5. The Race King tends to get slightly slippery in the wet (as all tyres do..obviously), but you can play with tyre pressure or as I had it on occasion, have an extra Mountain King for the rear when you know conditions are going to be wet. The Mountain Kings do not clog up easy with mud. I am a bit short on the Conti-Knowledge at the moment but the Conti X-King might be an allrounder (all conditions, front/rear) to consider or at least to research..
  6. smolster every rider can write you a novel on this topic.. me and my best mate ended up with 23 tyres in our garage and I THINK we are happy now with choice of rubber 2.2 Mountain King Front, 2.2 Race King Back.. one of my favourite combos - it gave me a flat free Cape Epic this year all the top brands’ top range tyres will give you good value, it then comes down to personal choice, riding style and personal experience
