For road, there is the Bester crowd that starts at waterkloof ridge mall or Velo club cnr hand strijdom and attebury at the garage.

the cops are a joke..if the cycling community does not do something about it, it will just go on and get worse. Perhaps "donate" a bike to a hi-jacker fitted with a tracker and see where the bike goes?

. Lol no matter how much dagga you smoke, how much glue you sniff and and how much alcohol you drink, do yourself a favour and go to your local security shop take some spray and give yourself a quautersecond spray just in front of your face. And you will realize how effective that stuff is. you can't see or breath. And two hours later your lips still burn. Yes, pepper spray is very effective, if you use the right one. Mist spray might do you more harm than the attacker if the wind blows in the wrong way. Then you hope you manage to get to the spray quickly enough then able to point it in the right way and spray the guy all while trying to stop your bike. Now imagine while doing this, you loose control and crash/fall over, and you have pepper spray on you...I suspect they won't be easy on you. That said...for me personally it's better to at least try to defend yourself than just accept it and go on. Yeah we need to do something, but, most of us live in security complexes, with guards, have a alarms system with armed response, burglar bars on our windows, security gates, dogs etc. And then on a weekend you get bike-jacked, no imagine your riding with your girl/wife, and they rape her? Is it worth it to live like this? I am starting to think it's not...especially if I loo at 1st world countries an their crime stats. I love my country, but do I love it enough to risk the safety of my family on it?

Very nice, but how does the battery look and where does it mount?

Hi anyone have Garmin routes for van gaalens?

review of the bike http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/bikes/mountain/product/spaceframe-custom-08-31620

Saw this on mtbr.com. Personally I think it's ugly, Jones makes nicer frames than the spaceframe. Interesting design http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4011/4531253836_f8e674f032_b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4063/4530744351_8bf792f4b3_b.jpg http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=610663&highlight=Jones

How do you guys ride your bikes?? I do roughly 150km a week and have not needed to a rebuild in 2 years... I am on Eggbeater SL's

aah, I wonder then how safe it is to go ride the existing singletrack around klapperkop at the moment.

Yeah same here, only noticed it now in Sportracks. Perhaps need to go explore there. In the same line I heard they are linking Groenkloof to Klapperkop using that tunnel under the road. Anyone know if that will be done soon?

Anyone know if you can go ride there? http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/2909/zwartkops.jpg

Place where the seatpost broke http://www.x-trax.co.za/ Out of interest how many people knew of this place? Very rarely see other mtbers there and the place is super fun to ride.

About 4 months. @Mampara - 5.8"

So, while I as just riding along...my seatpost snapped. Ok, maybe the "just riding along" happend over a tabletop jump in Kungweni bike park Yes it's a weightweenie xc/road KCNC post, not meant for tabletops etc. But seriously no extreme force was excreted on the post, nothing more than what a rocky race will provide, Magalies Monster, or one of the drops on the XC loop in fountains. Oh well, replaced it with a Thomson post. http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/3739/img8094v.jpg http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/4306/img8101e.jpg http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/9398/img8098s.jpg

How nice would it be to hit that with a baseball bat' date=' continuesly.[/quote'] Baseball bat with spikes on it, dipped in wasbi

Apart from Mankele that's not too far away, anyone know of any MTB trials in the area? Perhaps maybe have gps routes for me? Can you just go ride on the plantation roads, or is it private property?

Some local riding http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/7186/img1037o.jpg http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/2130/img1052g.jpg
