  1. My eldest is turning 6 this week, and is quite capable on his 16” Muna at the moment. He is handles a 5-7km trail ride, not very technical quite well. My second is 18 months younger, and she will be inheriting the 16” soon. Currently she does a 2km trail ride and then gets bored. But my son was also like that and then just started loving being on the bike. The plan is to just be on the bike out on the trails with them and just enjoy being out. I will leave it up to them as they grow older to choose a discipline, difficulty, etc. But yes, I’m looking at the spur series events also.
  2. Hi BMXER Thanks for the feedback. You make very compelling points. Will definitely keep them in mind before purchasing. Thanks ????
  3. Thanks for the feedback. From the responses I’m gonna go with the Hades. I’m sure he will love it.
  4. Thanks for the very comprehensive feedback ChrisF. Greatly appreciated. I did explore the V brake option but the price difference as you mentioned is minimal. While I was also warned to stay away from discs for a kids bike, I don’t think it will be much harm getting him used to the stopping power from now, and teaching him some minor service skills from a young age. I’m sure he will enjoy. ????
  5. Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate it. From the responses given I think I’m gonna pull the trigger on the Hades. ????
  6. Hi I need to get my kid a new bike, and after doing all the homework on what he needs, types of terrain, etc, I’ve narrowed the selection down to the following: Titan Hades 20” disc - https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/titan-kids-bikes/products/titan-hades-20-disc-2020 Silverback Skid 20” disc - https://bike-addict.co.za/products/silverback-skid-20-boys-2020 Anyone has any of these? Would appreciate some feedback on these options. Thanks
  7. https://www.easybike.co.za/garmin-vivoactive-3-white-with-rose-gold-hardware.html This would be good. You currently have it at R5999, while takealot is R4589. https://www.takealot.com/garmin-vivoactive-3-gps-smartwatch-rose-gold-white/PLID52428682
  8. Great event. Well done to the organizers. The music at the start didn’t exactly get the blood flowing. Looking at the results, seems numbers were down about 600 from last years entries on the long route.
  9. Website says entries open mid October. So, 31 days/2 = 15.5 days. That makes it noon on the 15th October..
  10. Firstly, Congrats.. Secondly, get a balance bike. Lots of options out there, but don't spend too much on the first bike, they outgrow it super fast.

    Hi. Has anyone tried/uses these sunglasses? What's your review of them? I see takealot has them on sale currently. Thanks
