    I remember reading somewhere that the loop was too small resulting in insane g-forces, making steering impossible. So he was stuck on his entry line and pretty much spat out without a hope in hell.
  2. NicoBoshoff
    Is there much in the form of line choice sections or is it all single track down?
  3. NicoBoshoff
    That Kalula is a pretty good looking bike. I can see why they don't get sold.

    Just be sure to run narrower bars to compensate. Without knowing anything about you I still think 680mm is perfect, because, internet. And best to ride clipless pedals to prevent you slipping off the front of your pedals.

    Getting a bit sick of the "it sure doesn't climb like a 180mm bike should" rethoric, but dammit, this is one good looking bike, and that video. Don't really care how it climbs... http://www.pinkbike.com/news/propain-spindrift-2017.html

    Yip. A greyhound.

    If you're looking for sympathy with your "dilemma" you've come to the wrong place.

    Those skinwalls ruin it. Looks shite, even on Nino's bike. The neck tattoo of tyres.

    I think they were just so relieved to see someone with a passport for a change

    Should go to Jonkers...

    Yeah, not their fault. Not my problem either. This is going to be a terrible year or two for bike shops. Closures already starting. Sucks big time.

    Jeez Myles, I thought Sherrif quit the Hub...

    Shots fired!

    Best review so far. Thorough and I leave with a fair idea of the bike's abilities. Thanks Nick. Pity you couldn't test it tubeless for a true feel of it's climbing potential. Pity the ZAR is a dogshow, negating any benefit the direct sales model offered. However, I suppose other than crappy wheels, the entry level Capra at R49k is still superior in spec to other bikes in that price range.

    How does one access the Mont Marie trails and do they link with the rest of Eden - GSpot - Coetzenburg?

    Nah, our second kid was born 3 weeks ago. Mom gave the go ahead on new bike three weeks prior. Even told her what it cost AND she let's me ride it still. Problem is, we're moving into our new house in December and I suspect the penny's gonna drop mighty hard then. Already looking into gas stove pricing.
  18. NicoBoshoff
    I would...

    Time zones. It's a thing.

    Some serious lookers in the Anthem and Trance ranges. Think the market is splitting in 120mm and 150mm brackets

    Still riding my A1 from 2 years ago and it looks like the day I bought it. It is however permanently soaked in sweat. It's like a mobile brain sauna. Bunch of my riding mates ride these Spez jobbies and they love them. If I was in the market now I'd consider them. Bit dear though and there are many awesome sub-R2k options out there.
  22. NicoBoshoff
    I sure miss those chrome Shimano reservoirs - said no one, ever.
  23. NicoBoshoff
    Nah, pretty sure it's just hot.
  24. NicoBoshoff
    I love the photo where they're riding on the grass.

    No idea. I'm not a member. I just go there for the content. Hub for kakpraat. Vital for Raw edits.
