ETA in cape town, between 5 and 7pm tonight!

Jonas is getting close the SA border, well on track to break the record! https://capetocape.maprogress.com/

No small feat what they are attempting. Here is an interesting video on the solo Panamerican challenge that he did as well. There are some seriously dodgy roads out there... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChKSzzH7-Rk

I recently went to a talk presented by this guy, Jonas Deichmann. Really impressive what he has achieved in the past! His latest record attempt is currently underway with the aim to go from the Nordkap in Norway down to Cape Town in 75 days! I am in no way affiliated with him, just met him once at his talk and thought it would be interesting to share on here. You can follow his progress on social media or on his website. Might even be cool if a group of people would join on the last section of the ride (not sure about the rules etc though...) https://jonasdeichmann.com/ https://www.facebook.com/JonasDeichmannAdventures/

Hello Everyone, I have a friend who likes to hit the gym quite often and hence weighs about 105kgs... He and his wife are looking to start cycling and want to buy MTB's. His budget is about R 10 000 - 12 000 per bike. Currently he is looking at the Silverback Sola 2 or the Scott Scale 960 but he is a little concerned that he might be to heavy for these?? what do you recommend? any suggestions or other options he can consider?

where are you from?? anywhere near Gauteng? contact Johan Bornman

understandable! hope you get a team together.

ok we are in Potch, so I guess that rules us out? but if you are keen, pm me and we could arrange something? you could have a look on the timing company's websites to get an idea of how we ride.

where are you based? I'm keen and have a friend who will be as well?

I dont have much info I know the place its the same place where the "Parys Island Dirtmax" mtb series is held, perhaps check on entrytime if you can get some contact details of someone? sorry man.

jip you are right nowhere... Potch is really not nice for mtb, we have a few places but nothing too exciting though. if you're able/willing to travel a bit you can go to Parys (40km from Potch) there is a trail there.

depends on what he lost, muscle or fat??

I can maybe get one of these frames but want to do my homework on them first... I cant find much review or anything on the net, so does anyone have one of these or know them well enough to give me some advice please? thanks!

mine did something similar a while back, I thought it was the batteries and replaced them and still no luck. once you replace the batteries in the strap you have to relearn the code of the strap to the computer just check in the book, it will tell you how to do it.

ok here's the measurements on mine. roller circumference = 250mm total rail lenght = 1310mm width = 370mm distance between "rear" rollers (fixed) = 270mm distance between "front" (can be adjusted) = 880 mm I hope this helps, didnt have to make a drawing or anything.
