Fully agree, the speed you get up to on some of those trails will send you into orbit if you don't squash. It's not all bad tho, the gulley which we didn't ride is perfect for high speed jumping...more of that wouldnt go unappreciated.
Annual is gonna cost you R30.90 per day on your 3 week trip...no brainer IMO. Anyone know if there are plans to update the trail maps? None of the hoogekraal stuff is on there-makes it complicated planning a ride
Ja, I'm on my second e*thirteen rear wheel on my Capra. The first ones ratchet cracked in half, the internal teeth-not the freehub body. It was warrateed. The new hub was throwing the chain off the cassette because the freehub... wasn't free. Took it to the shop and they loosened it up...was ok for a while. Just had a major service at another shop and it's throwing the chain again.
More like, say you are camping at trails far from town, or are at a stage race...or even if a tire dies on you during a race and you have spares in the car. Point being, I can see where it would be convenient. If you already have a compressor or the correct valve adaptor to make a mess at the garage, then don't buy it. It's just annoying how the first response to any new product is negative on these sites.
