IXS Trail RS Helmet?

Hi - Giant Anthem 27.5 1 (2016)?

nice topic - I am also looking for a comfy saddle atm, did 55km today and was fine except for my center @$$ bone (don't know the medical term) which gave me lots of pain.

sick land...

Silverback

138 entrants so far - seems like it will be a good race with nice trails - the organzers are doing alot of work getting everything 100%

OP have a look at this bike - I got the 2014 model, great bike @ great price with great parts: http://www.silverbacklab.com/bike/mountain/silverback-slider-1/

Wow, nice bike - bought my 2014 Slider 1 couple of months ago and best MTB I've ever owned in my "affordability" price range - should have waited maybe the 2015 Slider 1 looks epic.

Thought I give some feedback - I was on flats using 5.10's for the last year and really enjoyed my MTB'ing - I think I would have stayed with flats but the area I am living in (North-West, Potch area) is more XC orientated than anything else (wished I stayed in a place with more trails\DH) I made the switch to SPD's and so-far I am not regretting it - I can see using my Edge that I am faster vs my flats - I think the year on flats taught me to be a better rider which is making me more relax/comfortable being strapped in on the bike with cleats now - I still have my flats and will use them again for the days I get to ride crazy/fun trails.

Also ordered lots of stuff from them and always great, fast service and best prices . @Sportsworld I am looking for Shimano pedals pd-m785 or m520, can you get them?

I bought a pair of Shimano M088 over the weekend, very nice comfy mtb shoe

special on mtb shorts and jerseys will be cool, crazy in general how much the stuff costs.

I will be keen, know my buddy will also like to attend - do you have any dates planned, will it be on a Saturday?

Got myself the Silverback Slider for just over 20k, great components - have done 300km so-far and loving the 27.5/650B: http://www.thehubsa....-1-650b-review/

ever seen a happy guy in a lab coat, put them in flats - might not be as efficient but is more fun imo - but lets not start a clipless vs flats thread.....again btw @porqui those Hi-Tec Figaro looks great, hows the grip

Won't a nice set of flats be a better \ cheaper solution - my wife tried clipless but never was comfortable - now she rides with 5.10s and Saints, same as me, and she is loving the extra grip

Thanks - Cliff sorted me out.

Hi Anyone know were I can get / order the cSixx chainstay protector locally. Thanks

I just recenly went from DS 26'er to 650B DS and very happy - I do more trail than XC, but bike copes well with both - I once had a 29er for about 2 weeks and sold it, just could not get used to the bigger size wheels

Got myself Slider 1, 650B - was afraid I am going to miss my 26'er but love the 27.5 - so far I only replaced the clipless pedals with Shimano's Saint flat pedals and ordered some better grips: http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii280/in10sive_photos/sb1_zps036564ab.jpg

I got the bike today and took it for a quick 20km trail ride - have to agree with Hairy "this bike is a wolf in sheep skin". Great components and I only paid 23,500 which included new tubeless setup and tires - can highly recommend the Slider 1

Thanks for all the advice - I ordered the Garmin 200 from easyGIS.co.za for 1600.00, will see how is the service, 1st time I ordered from them.

Seems like you can import maps according to youtube vids - Yebo Yes

I had a quick look at reviews for the 200, seems like a perfect fit for me and at half the cost of the 500

thanks guys, not too bothered with the heart rate monitor - will have a look at the Garmin 200 or is the extra bucks worth it for the 500 Will drop the smart-phone idea
