  1. Hi all. After a big crash end of January where i broke my helmet, ribs, and sternum, its time to get back on my bike. Any advice on the best top quality brain bucket? Not brand bias at all but want the best i can get my hands on, as even top of the range prices are still cheaper than brain surgery I have quite a long head, so if anyone has experience on this, and can advise on a "deeper" fitting lid, that would be great. Thanks all
  2. Hi there all. I'm looking for any tips on great places to stay for a weekend. Naturally close to good trails about 1-2 hours outside of Johannesburg. Id like to take the family with, so places with hiking trails, fishing, horse riding etc for non-riders too. Ideally, a self-catering house that sleeps 6-8 people that you have been to or experience with. Thanks all.
  3. Hi Hubbers. My Girlfriend has asked me to help her buy her sister a bike for her birthday. She is keen on Mountain Biking, mostly XC, and has been grinding out 10-20Km rides on a rough as F£*k Raleigh. She wants to take it to the next level and become a proper weekend warrior. She is 1.68m with a bigger build, and she has the potential to do a 30-50Km in a sitting. I think she's between a 27.5 and 29, so could go either way. I believe a Dual suspension, with SLX level components would be a good bet for her, and something she can live with for the next 2 years and grow into. Its essentially her first proper bike so a budget of R15-R25k ...hopefully. I was thinking perhaps a Giant Lust, (Not Sure on Price) Any other suggestions? Momsen, Titan, Scott.. Advice please.
  4. Are novatec hubs worth the extra R1000, apparently sealed bearings and almost bullet proof.
  5. Thanks Cofba, will stay away from XT hubs
  6. Hi all. Advice please. Standard Easton Haven 29er rims or custom built ZTR stans arch rims with XT hubs. Custom are about R600 more. Which combo would be better? Thanks all
  7. Hi all. Wanting to compete this year, fairly new to races so wanted to ask if this race is manageable, or a bit of a killer. Looking to do the 25km
  8. Not entirely sure how to pm. Greg@deviantdesign.co.za
  9. If you're based in jhb, Linden cycles will rent a Giant xtc to you to trial. I thought it was a great bike but don't know the GT
