  1. My go to tyre will always be a High Roller. It never gives in or tears. Second in line will be between a Dhf and a Wolverine. I also weigh 95kg +-3kg depending on the season :whistling:

     

    I didn't get to read the whole thread but weight plays a big role in rim choice, fork and tyre choice.

  2. To be honest, I don't understand the blanket closure.  I can see why Tokai is off limits for right now (not 6 - 24 months!  But that's another point...) but I can't understand why the whole park is off limits.

    I usually cycle into Tokai from Ou Wapad, and was thinking that while Tokai is off limits I'll just go up Ou Wapad and around Noordhoek Peak - it's all jeep track so should be fine!  But no - blanket ban.

    I truly don't understand this.  Where is the danger in that?  There's no damage to the environment, no chance of a rock or tree branch falling on my head and no burnt out underground roots to fall into.  Why must everything be off limits?

    Besides, I think that seeing the desolation in the aftermath of the fire coupled with the new growth that I've already seen coming out is quite beautiful, and would really enjoy watching it develop.

    Some access must be allowable to non danger / eco sensitive routes.

    Who can we bribe?  :ph34r:

     

     

    No promises but you'll find Silvermine will allow access sooner based on your rationale.

     

    You must remember that there are a lot of users; between walking, climbing, paragliding, bicycling, horse riding and dog walking, suddenly your low impact single user group during a sensitive recovery period takes a sharp turn. 

     

    From your perspective it makes perfect sense. From a management point of view I think it may look somewhat different.

    I think Deon is right, not all riders will respect the growth and stay on the dirt roads. Although, dirtypot is spot on with watching the new growth, it will be great to see it all go up again

  3. Thanks guys. This must be a syndicate coz they never touched anything else and my garage is full of tools. Malan, I hope so too buddy. I heard they got a truck full of stolen goods in lainsberg, let's cross our fingers

     

    A friend saw my wheeler bike in adderly str town, but couldn't catch up to they rider in traffic. I think the guy bought the bike unknowingly as he was cruising home from work with his buddy
