  1. I used Front: Vittoria Barzo 2.25 Rear: Vittoria Saquaro 2.20 (traction rolling direction) Not 1 puncture, not one front washing out Perfect combo
  2. Did the 160 last year. You do the WTF climb upfront then its alot of long drags. A few bumps from 80 to 120km
  3. Also Incubit in Potch https://frameservices.incubit.co.za/wp/ Check his instagram too for some amazing work
  4. I wanna see these guys go down rooiberg at 2am in the morning on those skinnies. could be perfect camera moments
  5. Was there last week Thursday. Used the main entrance. Kareekloof entrance is closed Road conditions were near perfect. Came across 1 small pothole Lots of animals now. Note that you have to pay at the main building. I had to pay R80 for taking a car in with my bike (Car R35 and cyclist R45) and payment by card only. They had alot of workers there cleaning up the area. The toilets are in working order. The picnic area is closed so carry enough fluids
  6. +1 for enduroseali But also another less know south African brand is Noloopholes. https://noloopholes.co.za/shop-2/ R1400 for 5L. It has a very chemically smell but it works extremely well. I used it in my first Munga. could hear the air leaks from the tyres in the dead of the night on a long thorny stretch of road. it sealed all. Plenty of them. The seat tube was coated full with sealant so it sealed dozens of punctures
  7. Aftershokz Aeropex bone conduction headphones. End of discussion Super comfortable and safe for traffic. Nothing else comes close.
  8. I've been running Barzo front and Mezcal rear for 2 years now on 4 different bikes. Ran a dual suspension at Munga 2019 with Mezcal front and rear at 2. 5 bar This year ran a rigid hardtail with the same tyres but 1.2 front and 1.8 rear. I weigh 80kgs plus 16 for the bike in munga setup. It was beautiful. Now I run all my barzos at 1 to 1.3 bar. Even on a dual suspension. Only thing is to be extremely careful on Rocky terrain. But tremendous grip on windy singletrack.
  9. It's simple, go get a saddle fit. My first spez had the long nose spez phenom, and it just took t.i.t.s to get used to it. I now ride the short nose spez power and ridefarr saddles. They do the same thing. I ride short tech trails and long distance up to The Munga races. There is a crossover where the saddle doesn't matter anymore. Like 15 hours. The only time I find I sit forward is when hammering on a flat stretch and leaning forward on the bars. The shorter saddles are recommended imo.
  10. Hi. I'm a cycling addict. I just finished my 8.7kg hardtail mountain bike that shares my obsession with 3 other mountain bikes.
