  1. i became a bit confused when i saw: the rock drop, which had big off-camber roots on the left of the drop. 0.5m in front of the rock drop was a sharp smaller rock dead centre in the trail. and to the right of this smaller sharp rock was a boulder . My head said to me " The best line is to hit the drop at speed and land inbetween the smaller sharp rock and boulder..." HAHAHA i just rolled it, maybe next time
  2. Yes that one, i climbed the jeep track from the road gap - one corner, second corner!! there is a sign board which indicates DH, actually eliminates the upper steep bit. (this is before the fire road to cobra.) REALLY rocky one...? Which "REALLY rocky", where?? Haha! Jokes..
  3. Did that DH0 bit this past weekend for the first time on my trail bike. I like! i see there is an even steeper trail coming from the top where DH0 begins. I just looked at it ..... but then i did DH0 all the way down, its actually hard work and technical. I do like the rocks, roots, off camber. and i do like how it changes to "flowy" when dropping into that piece after Vasbyt till the quarry.
  4. It is so far beyond my skill set, i just ride right passed it. Too afraid to even look in that direction..
  5. Okay so, More lean = more grip = less brakes = longer lasting tyres (and the occassional face plant)I get that right?
  6. Whoops, didn't see that. ANd he said they're high volume, grip brilliantly, rolls well, cheap (if you know the agents).I knew there was a better reason for me liking those tyres, and not just the decals on the sidewalls.
  7. Doesnt the Bronson wear quickly?
  8. Thanks Dave
  9. So Onza available Locally anywhere else besides Rushsports? Rushsports will only be carrying stock of the 2.25 IBEX in 60tpi version after june2014, not sure of the CANIS though.
  10. is it just me or does the tread in that bottom right pic look a bit like a Nobby Nic
  11. Schweet... How long do they last? rear tyre right? and grippy in all or most conditions, reason i ask is because of the knobs roundish and low tread profile...

  13. Which variant of Ibex do you have?
  14. Check with Easybike.co.za,
  15. What are you considering for the rear? how long have you had your Ibex out front now and is it tubeless?

  17. I don't think its just the one you hap OmegaMan, there are posts on international forums of guys who struggled to get them set up. I think your comment is fair. All I found on that tyre was that its light, grippy in every condition, measures true and durable. Oh, and well priced. Looks like they're available locally too for round R700, that's the 26x24" 120 tpi 65a/55a foldable version. Any idea how many KM Karl has racked up on his Omega, he rides pretty hard as well doesn't he?
  18. And........ and good??
  19. Free Fox Race Jerseys to the first 50 entrants!!!! thats really kewl!
  20. Send the Mamba 2's aswell...
  21. So then it basically comes down to how easy they are to clip in and out.... don't know much about flat pedals, but the Mamba 2's only have four pins. is that enough? seen flats with way more pins??
  22. Yeah, i was checking that website out today.. price is a bit heavy. the DX's are around R900 at leadout cycles. Also, the crank bro's Mallet??? seeing that the Mallet 1's is in the same price bracket as the Mamba2's i think.
  23. Heard anything about them?? looks heavy
  24. And these.... Any good?
  25. I give Droo, excellent ratings! Will definately return when needed.
