wow - no words.

My wife added some neoprene padding to my gloves to protect the ulnar nerve. Had numbness issues before but they seem intermittent now at best. Added padding works wonders. Just sew some into the inside.

Had to break the story up into 4 segments before I could finish it nice read

too true

Man up? No but in all seriousness, dont let the possibility of a fall hold you back. Ive done some crazy **** and have yet to break anything. stick to the jeep tracks and you will be fine

Great read for this morning, thanks!

Why do people still ride there? Let alone walk there... Im from CPT and have seen many a dodgy character hanging around that area when im up there for work, regularly. Its been an issue for ages now.. why take the risk? Glad u got your bikes back but seriously, plan a better route next time..

Forgot to mention Onza is pretty damn decent as well. Running a Racing Ralph at the rear and an Onza Canis up front.. excellent grip from both. Hard to avoid tar in CPT.. if you want to string together a ride of about 30km or more, you have to involve tar unfortunately.

Maxxis Crossmarks ye.. I love my Racing Ralphs,, just a bit soft for Tar

Good on Arno! Same thing happened at the Argus challenge last year. Buddy of mine is a firefighter with first aid training. We killed our total time helping this guy out who had passed out in the vineyards... was incredibly hot. The satisfaction one gets from helping somebody in need far outweighs any satisfaction that comes from finishing a race. MTBing imo is as much about other riders as it is about you.

Figured this was a joke, tbh bad form. The guy who got nailed by this prick im sure is not finding this the least bit humorous.

If I had to ride my 29r knobblies for the argus, I would have to buy a new back tyre afterwards. Soo 2 hundred bucks for slicks, or 700 for a new Schawlbe.. its a no brainer. guys who do complain are probably trying to watch their image, cause cycling is all about image..

ou guys seen this yet? I wouldnt call it an attack at all, although I cant figure out why these guys took so long to leave the area. Giraffe looks very curious and unsure at the same time. Poor scott bike looks a in a bit of bad shape

Just in case she is reading.... My wife

Dont buy clothing from Ecomm stores outside of this country. Looking for trouble... Ordering locally is hard enough trying to get your size correct, but then there are systems in place to process returns free of charge. This cannot and will never happen internationally.

An agreement was made, and agreement was broken. Nothing wrong here. Ex Bike owner no doubt very upset about this, but sounds completely irresponsible to let it get that far. All said, its a very shady way of doing business, and one which thrives on taking advantage of people in tight spots. Dude should have taken a small loan from a bank or a micro lender rather than Pawn his bike.. that is the first mistake he made.

I seriously hope they change the route this year. Not sure if I can ride the same tracks in a different rotation...

Using my prepaid, all good. Uncap for me is a waste of time and money. I got a fairly decent special giveaway account that just cannot be beaten by any available uncapped product. That said, you are restricted via FUP and they can pretty much throttle you as they want. Ive got an 8mb line, running at full speed, to get what I am currently getting I would have to pay about 4 times what I am paying right now, and thats downloading a set 130gigs a month. Axxess were running a 4-10mb uncapped account special for about R495pm.. best deal so far except its on the MTN network. I wouldnt trust it.

Pretty rad

Yeah Skylark, I got capped 2 days ago.. on my prepaid end of month account for now. Streaming a full round off Redbull TV can eat about 2-3gigs of data. Then again Ive had mine set to full HD...

I laugh at anyone who has ever bought one of those things, and thought there was some truth behind them. From 500 bucks, to 50 bucks to 18.50... just goes to show..

thats the great thing about opinion, people dont have to agree with you. If you give you opinion and cant take the heat from others who have alternate opinions, rather dont share your opinion in the first place. Its simple.

The problem with this country is the fact that people have become complacent in pretty much everything going on. Its important to raise these issues and not keep your head in the proverbial sand. The more we complain about things the more public the issue becomes, the more chance of something being done about it. The reason why we have soo many problems in this country is because people say "Why moan about it, not like you can do anything about it". That is the start of the complaceny..

That little stretch to silvermine gate is soo washed out and rocky atm, its even uncomfy on my dualie.. cant imagine it on a rigid.. geez.. impressed
