  1. If you can get your hands on one of these for road or MTB...it has been beaten by baggage handlers on 10-12 international flights a year for the last 5 years and still going strong...TBH I have replaced the front castors with more industrial strength ones...cause SAA once....once...
  2. Agreed, Proper big bag for long term use, ideally with fixed rear wheels and steerable trolley-type front wheels to get around the airport easily...for one-off flights, bike cardboard box from bike shop, well-padded and secured parts especially the ends of the front fork, and reinforce the corners with duct or Gorilla tape.
  3. This oke? Ja he shreds!
  4. Chicken dinner....
  5. After work track burn...
  6. Where to start....work your way from Tokai MTB to the Northern suburbs, Contermans, Hoogekraal anywhere in Tygerberg MTB, then make your way to Stellenbosch for Majik Forest, Jonkershoek but your first stop should really be www.trailforks.com.....
  7. Stadium tour...
  8. Those are on my shelf now!!!😎
  9. Going global..... It's all about line choice....
  10. Only "trail" I knew growing up near the Moffat was the storm drain down the side for skateboarding!!!!
  11. 50's fit fine.....
  12. I'm on the 50mm of these, great tyre, super rolling resistance on tar for a gravel tyre, great on moderate to heavy gravel, battles like any other gravel tyre when it gets rough and does well in light to moderate sand if running at about 2.5bar. One note, and same for most Pana's, seating a new tyre (tubeless), is a MAJOR biiiaaatch....don't bother with Joe Blow or Tank Blast...just get a bucket of CO2 cartridges and blast away....
  13. No brainer...the widest you can go...
  14. Don't forget Crazy Dave's Bikepark if you looking for some jumps, if its still open....De Stades Road Colleen Glen
  15. For roadies: And Seaview.... For Seaview, avoid the intersection of Buffelsfontein and 10th Ave, leave or return via Glendor Road thru Pari mPark/Mount Pleasant if you want to close the loop
  16. I was once warned about the section from River Road, Walmer into Settlers Park to the bridge at the bottom of Brickmaker's...any info on that section
  17. Baakens is heaps of fun...just make sure you go the right way round!!!🤣
  18. Hopefully they have graded that road by the time you get there...it was a washboard!!!😄
  19. This loop, it does include return on N2 unless you just turn and go back along same road...
  20. The Garmin twist system of the RTL515 works well so the unit connects securely to the mount but the mounting system to the seatpost is not very good and if you don't hook the rubber bands to the mount properly, it can slip off, hence, good idea for a tether. The newer RCT 715 has a new system based on other Garmin type mounts for their action cam and is rock solid with a cam lever to secure the unit into the mount and they have improved the seatpost mount altho it still uses rubber bands, they are easier to secure AND you can just cable tie the mount to your seatpost, something that you couldn't really do with the RTL515.
  21. Great support you got....but seeing this pic....looks like a reconstruction..."I was riding along minding my own business, in the middle of nowhere and this little car t-boned me....like this....."😔
  22. If its the old one, I used a GoPro surfboard mount with tether...trimmed it to fit and stuck it to back of unit, with the loop of the tether connected to a tiny carabiner hanging from seat rails ...the new one uses the same fitting as the Garmin VIRB ULTRA 30 camera, it is very secure!!!...you can cable tie the seatpost mount to the seatpost if you want, cable ties included in package
  23. Yes. you can thread some nylon thread thru the "ears" of the GoPro style mount.... I use a wrist tether looped over the mount.
  24. I have the new one...RCT 715, it does not have this "braking" feature...pity, it was a bit of a missed opportunity
  25. Scary to upload and see how fast some drivers are going past you!
