Where are all the other Capetonians? Good to hear Kevin is joining again.

The thread has been quiet for a while. Who is going to be joining Omega man and others in 2015? Add your name and city to the list: Omega man - CPT Murray_lotus7 - Jhb Sidewinder - Jhb Nofearnofun - Jhb

Thanks Hayley,I will be in contact about that Csixx. Thinking of going with the NW as I have x9 with clutch. Thought I may have seen you at karkloof this weekend.

Haha yes final nail in the avids coffin. After completely binding after putting new pads. So current set up: Yt industries Wicked 650b Wheels:mountain king protection v2 Rock shock Pike 160mm Rock shock monarch 160mm Avid elixirs 5 200mm disks New brakes to be ordered: Hope e4 with Tech V3 levers. 200mm floating disks Chain guide to be determined.

The avids on my wicked are getting binned for a set of Hope E4. After the rubbish they caused today at karkloof.

Guys YT industries are brilliant value for money. I couldn't build a bike with similar specs to the Wicked I brought in this, was in October/November before there was any marketing about the Capra. Omega_man's plan to have the bike picked up in France is a good idea saving on shipping and tax.

Awesome news. Good luck with the work ahead. Looking forward to riding the new section next time I come down to Cape Town.

Hi Omega man, I'm keen on the day trip to Pila in Italy. Thanks for organising. cheers

Hi Omega man how did the race go? Hope there was a good turn out for the race.

Hi omega man Maybe put it in perspective how many spots are currently left? Who else from Hub land is coming on the trip?

I have got the elbow guards. They feel they same as wearing arm warmers. They are very flexible and it doesn't feel like you are wearing elbow guards. l have had a small fall with them on, seemed to protect the elbow. They were worn under a motor cross jersey.

Hi maxis Are you planning on ordering the tues se? I am planning on ordering the wicked 650b.

Hi omega man will be making the deposit tonight. Thanks for arranging all the stuff. Cheers Murray

Thanks for the inputs. I will be arranging with family in the uk then arranging shipping or a visit to SA. After reading the comments, I am thinking about going with the wicked. @ The crow & cpt armpies mayhem:thanks for the heads up about the potential problems with the 2013/2014 fox suspension. @omega man : between the two brands which did you see while in morzine?

Sorry double post.

Hi omega man Please email the bank account details when they come available. Thanks murray

Bought a trek session 10. Dam heavy(all the extra bracing in the frame design) so I guess I cann't break it while learning.

Hey omega man hope you are counting me in your count. I have now bought a Downhill bike to join you on the trip.
