  1. ...and maybe a Pyga!
  2. 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.
  3. 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?
  4. Would've loved to have seen those fools trying to ride their loot.

    Steilte Trails

    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."
  10. The Pyga I'm riding now came with a set of Crests on Hope. I bought it off a mate of mine who first had the wheels on his Rocky Mountain then on the Pyga so they're probably 2+ years old....he is well over 90kg's and rides through and over rather than around things and barring one ding on the back they are 100% and have seen PLENTY mileage...several stage races etc. I'm over 90 as well and have had no hassles and I certainly don't baby my bike or my wheels...mostly singletrack, G-spot etc...very little dirt roady-ing. Depends largely on your riding style as well....whilst swapping them out is probably the right thing to do I certainly would not lie awake at night concerned that they are going to collapse the first time you throw your leg over the saddle. (That said I have a set of Arch's hanging in the garage waiting to be built onto the Hopes when I DO finally trash them Crests....) Oh ya and a well built wheel using a Crest is going to be a lot less prone to picking up a buckle or a wobble than a poorly tensioned Arch EX for that matter.
  11. Where did you end up getting the fork from? I battled to lay my hands on one when I was in the market and the 853 ones avble were VERY expensive.
  12. Did Transbaviaans on my SC Heckler no problem...have to confess I did wimp out and fitted a set of easy-rollin' 2.1's though...

    Thanks....other than SSWC2012 which I can't remember at all I'm not too familiar with the area.

    Thanks Ratty for the info earlier on the thread. Does anyone know whether you are allowed to camp at the start of the Great Trek? Have left all this to the last minute as usual.

    I'll be at the Great Trek....as you say the Descent's dates would have worked out better as this one is costing me a week's worth of leave when you include travel time etc. What are you guys doing in terms of logistics Ratty? We're flying to Durban and then renting an Avis car...gonna be tight in there.

    Spare Tube

    I've had to do it due on a previous occasion and it tore the valve out of three different tubes on a single Oak Valley ride, won't go there again.
  17. I have a VERY low mileage one for sale if anyone's interested. More like millimeterage to be honest.
  18. Bargain for a Reba....Where do you get 29er suspension forks from at those prices?
  19. Mary's are a bit extreme but ya, ride what works for you! I loved my Fleegle's when I still had my Inbred....I miss that bike!
  20. Some seriously straight handlebars you've got going there.
  21. This would suit a man of good taste...newbies discount available. www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/classifieds/ad/53366-niner-mcr-medium-reynolds-853-steel-bike/
  22. Can anyone here tell me offhand what the shock length and stroke on the Pyga 110 is?
  23. I need to purchase a Seiko Kinetic as a gift for someone...don't ask why but I do. I'd love to trawl 43 pages of thread but simply don't have time....can anyone recommend the best (CHEAPEST) reputable place to get hold of one? Local store or else local / international online is all good....if you have any ideas please let me know. Anyone used these guys and if so, what costs would be on top of the price...what % do you pay customs on watches? http://www.have2have.co.za/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=seiko&x=32&y=12
  24. Saw a downhill lighty looking at my bike the other day and say to his mate "what the hell is the point of a Hope hub up front...it's not like it makes a noise or anything". Had to chuckle at that.
  25. Not long now....
