  1. Beanz that looks awesome.....definitely top of the list for me should I ever be forcibly (as it won't happen willingly!) separated from my 110 29....enjoy the bike and be sure to issue a ride report when you are ready!
  2. Awesome event.... Got lucky enough to "score" an entry to the Trek last year and it was absolutely bloody fantastic. If you are still thinking about whether or not you should be doing it just get on with it already
  3. If you're studying at Stellies you'll be riding Jonkers and Eden for sure, I would def have gone for something with a bit more grip up front.....also...wintermud is coming! Remember it may not for now be to get yourself to push the envelope right away but when you overcook it into a corner unexpectedly it might save you some skin. Re stem length I have no idea re your dimensions so have no place commenting on it... Chat to the bikeshop rather.
  4. ....and shorter stem. That's just me though....
  5. Luke you're going to love that bike. If it was my build I'd probably go for a slightly more aggressive tyre up front than a Race King...maybe chat to Malan and the boys at Velo re recommending an alternative. What color frame are you getting?

    Fork adaptor..

    I think you're out of luck mate, new hub for you.

    Fork adaptor..

    Depends on the hub, a couple of them can be switched using adapters ie Hope hubs switch easily between all formats. Which hubs do you have on the bike?
  8. Width? (If Hairy doesn't want it....)
  9. MH - Here's your ones brother going for a pre-purchase test ride in Eden. This bike loves the G-spot more than most.
  10. Awesome build and bike....I love mine! Those bikes stand back for nothing and to be honest I think mine is just as capable, if not more so when hitting the rough stuff in Jonkershoek than my 150mm Heckler. Certainly a hell of a lot quicker down the trail. Post it to the Pyga thread as well...things have been a bit dead there of late.
  11. Really beautiful bike, I hope you get her back.
  12. Pyga 110 29 with Arch Ex or Flows on Hopes...

    Steilte Trails

    Exciting times to be a MTBer in the Cape indeed. I hope the shuttle roads can survive the increase in traffic this is sure to bring, one or two of those corners are already pretty loose getting up there. Imagine a lift running shuttles up Helderberg...
  14. Catgirl I have one you can use until your green one arrives from wherever you are ordering it from. I am in Steynsrust in Somerset West if you want to come and pick it up this weekend...not home this afternoon but tomorrow should be OK. What else do you need to get rolling? PM me to maak 'n plan.
  15. Entries close today. http://dirtopia.co.za/24-hours-of-oakvalley
  16. You nailed those orange over black decals PERFECTLY! Awesome project....would love to do something similar with my raw Pyga...soon. What grips you going with? I'm looking for some lekker orange ones for my blue Heckler....anyone stocky Oury's?
  17. ...and maybe a Pyga!
  18. Enjoy it Ryan...would have loved to be there for this trip! I'm sore you mentioned on another thread you were going SS though....looks like sanity prevailed ....The Cotic is looking good and probably a better option for this trip! Looking forward to pics and ride report.
  19. Does anybody know why riding has been stopped on the the Stellenzicht Farm part which spills out on the Blaauwklippen Road of this trail? It's messed up the off-road commute possibilities between SSW and Stellies quite badly. Any alternatives?
  20. Would've loved to have seen those fools trying to ride their loot.

    Another view of the mountain, just for ****s and giggles. Taken from the hut Duane mentioned.

    Taking a bit of a long shot here but coming from Cape Town with rental vehicle etc our logistics are an absolute mess - was wondering if any of you kind hubbers may have space for a bike (or two) and if possible the riders as well from Drakensville to the start of the Great Trek on Tue morning? Riders shouldn't be too much hassle to sort out....the bikes are a bit of a problem though.

    Geez I got a fright I read it as "Friday night as well as entertainment IN your tents etc."
