  1. Yip, always walk past one at the ASG shop in Paarl and it's a looker. Pity the rear is a piece of trash according to Pinkbike.
  2. Is that the Chatsworth custom version?
  3. YEah, but with such a slack HA already, why even bother with that. Slap a 120mm Pike on this and be a happy man.
  4. And then I jizzed. in. my. pants.
  5. As soon as I win the lotto I'm going to turn our local park into the best in the country. And then install EMP devices at the trailhead. Come at me bro.
  6. Yeah...https://dirtmountainbike.com/news/exploding-e-bike-battery-causes-half-million-euros-worth-damage.html
  7. Gonna be pretty funny when one of those pull a Samsung on us and set Jonkershoek on fire (yeah yeah, I know, but still). Anyways, do what you want. I reserve the right to judge. Part of being free. Also wouldn't judge someone who genuinely has a medical reason for going this route. Part of not being a dick.
  8. More importantly, what is a judgement prick?
  9. Says they developed it for those unfit or unable to get to the top. Creates mini-DH sled.
  10. I also want a bike to take me further for those long rides. Difference is that got me thinking my N+1 bike would be the new Spark or Anthem. Not this crap.
  11. I - too - like to spend the equivalent of a shuttle vehicle on one extra run.
  12. Yeah hard work is a b*tch in a world of instant gratification.
  13. Once your other half is fit from getting back into it, will he stay on the e-bike or will he be incentivised to take his riding further on a normal bike? Or will he just pedal away from you with his new gained fitness on the e-bike and you both ride alone? What's the long game here?
  14. Thanks, I've literally never laughed this hard.
  15. As to your question. Sure, they belong on the mountain. I'm not the kind of guy to go tell the fatso at the casino buffet that he perhaps shouldn't be having that fourth serving of waffles. Let him think he's got it all if that makes him happy.
  16. And let's stop walking around that big old elephant in the room. This is just the industry realising it's nearing a point of diminishing returns on the conventional bicycle so they are forcing us down a new path of "innovation" and generating demand. Because actually starting to focus on getting bikes to market cheaper is a waste of time.
  17. Which has me wondering why all I ever see on my social media feed are sponsored athletes or ambassadors sharing their e-boners with the world? Just lay off it a bit Spez. Last I checked they actually sell some other actual bicycles.
  18. It is DH certified.
  19. Yeah, and the false sense of safety they give you is also priceless.
  20. If I wanted to be shouted at and abused for a week straight I'd go home gesuip and smelling of perfume, and still have a better week than riding with this guy.
  21. Yes, front brake + loose dusty rockslab - speed = fun
  22. Jip, on our Morzine trip in 2014 the one rider with G-Form kneepads spent 5 days in the chalet with a heavily lacerated knee. Pads looked like nothing was wrong, except an obvious spot where some shale punctured and ripped him apart. Was on a fire road too if a recall. NOthing gnarly.
  23. Dude at R30k, one's inclined to pull out the N+1 card here. Ok wait, I just realised how ridiculous that sounded...the bar for what's cheap has been demolished.
  24. Yeah, Duane's option is better anyways. "Honey, DHL phoned and my package is ready for collection. I'll be right back..."
