    "There's always going to be an online site," says Chris of Chris Willemse Cycles. And this is true. The convenience of being able to browse bike components while doing other mundane things, like working, is too great to live without. Not to mention the fact that you don't have to settle with what your LBS has to offer, but can choose from a vastly greater selection of products. But one thing that South Africans will still struggle to get is the variety of products that Europe and the US have. Click here to view the article

    Louis Meintjes turned what started out as a gloomy day for Team MTN-Qhubeka p/b Samsung into a joyous one after he won stage 3 of the Tour of Rwanda. Africa’s first Professional Continental team started the day in the yellow jersey with Jay Thomson. Click here to view the article

    There is much debate surrounding the reasons for purchasing a bike online. But are they all justified? I spoke to some of the main players of South Africa's growing online shopping community to find out how they started, why they did so and what some problems they encountered. I also asked about some of the typical concerns that customers would usually worry about, such as after market servicing and grey imports. This is Part 3 with Andrew Backstrom of Dial'd Bikes.

    The Absa Cape Epic, the Untamed African Mountain Bike Race, will match the Ladies prize purse to the Men’s prize purse in 2014. The Absa Cape Epic is already the largest total prize purse in the world for mountain biking and the increase to R690 000 ($68 048) for the Ladies purse now takes the race’s total prize purse for all categories to R1 564 000 ($154 241).

    That's truly beautiful, so many fantastic bails in one video. And I think the 90's rave really just adds a finishing touch

    It was fitting that Ashleigh Moolman Pasio won the Momentum 94.7 Cycle Challenge on Sunday. It marked the final race for the Momentum Toyota team which she raced on for all five years of its existence. Her win also confirmed that the team objective had been met – to develop world-class female South African road riders. Click here to view the article

    The opening stage of the Tour of Rwanda got underway with a 3.5 kilometre prologue. The race started and finished at the Kigali sports stadium and was supported by thousands of people on the roadside. The crowds got what they came for when local rider Janvier Hadi (Rwanda Karisimbi) blitzed through the course with the fastest time of the day to win the stage. Click here to view the article

    Instead of focusing on one video for pure entertainment, this week is all about education. We hear a lot of fluff about suspension designs, but what differentiates them from each other? Here is a collection of videos explaining various suspension designs, from Yeti's Switch Technology to Dave Weagle explaining his Split Link design. Click here to view the article

    The plan was to head to the Monashee Mountains near Revelstoke, British Columbia with Wade Simmons and Kevin Calhoun to shoot an autumn alpine video for our new Instinct MSL. We wanted to showcase the bike’s versatility under two very different riders—Kevin is an XC racer on our Factory Team, while Wade’s contributions to freeride mountain biking need no introduction.

    ORICA-GreenEDGE is thrilled to announce that Daryl Impey has rejoined the team on a three year contract. The first South African to wear the yellow jersey has flourished during his two year tenure with the Australian outfit. In 2012, Impey earned his first WorldTour win, made his Grand Tour debut at the Giro d’Italia and solidified his position as one of the world’s best lead-out riders. His strength in the sprint train inspired his selection to the team’s 2012 Tour de France squad. Click here to view the article

    Between ravaging fires and devastating floods, Mother Nature did her best – or worst – to derail this year’s EAI Val de Vie MTB Challenge in September. But the hardy organisers from ASG Events pressed on and the event, presented by Bestmed, will finally roll out across 21 farms in the Cape Winelands between Franschhoek and Paarl on November 24.
