We accelerate faster on the downhills, but once terminal velocity is reached I think we are all the same - we just get there faster.

Hi, Where can we get some photos and the race results?

How slippery will the trails be if it has / is raining?

I have now started to save for one of these beauties!

Where did you get the stem cap? I have been searching for more than 2 years for one!

.....I am still waiting for the following quotes from FPC in no particular order: 1) Tires (5 months) 2) Price on a frame (6 months) 3) Price for a shock (18 months) So my money gets spend at CRC...... Good cyclist don't necesarrely make good bicycle salesman..... in fact I found that good cyclist makes for arrogant, useless bicycle salesmen that are more interrested in chatting with their colleauges about koeitjies en kalfies....

......if we enter twice, will you take us up the hill a second time ? I am still giggeling with exictment!!!!

..........think roadies should start wearing number plates. That way offenders can be identified and fined.

Nope start with the LH one firs, go down to eeufees, then head toward PTA.......etc.... The last bid of track is single track, running down from the fort to the parking area.

This is the route we used to follow - about 2 years ago

Hey Bontie, Can you find out more for us? Is this just XC tracks or is a DH included as well? Thanks!

Hey, I was there about 2 years ago...... trails started to look "unmaintained". I spoke to a lady from the monument, as I wanted to build a DH track. She said that they are busy building a MTB track that should be open by the 9th of November...... So maybe it might be worth while checking out?

Hi Guys, Do any of you know what happened to the DH track at Gilooleys in JHB? Where can we ride DH in Gauteng other than Helderkruin, Klapperkop? Cheers!

Well..... I keep on braking before and during the turn. It's like I dont trust that my bike can lean over - dont trust the grip of the tires...... Problem is that if I don't have enough speed coming out of the corner' date=' I uassaly don't have enough speed for the following obstacle like a drop, jump eg.[img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley7.gif[/img] Well I decided to kit up this weekend and see how sharp I can turn before the grip on my tires give....... mentally I will prepare myself for a skid / fall and just turn and see what happens?

Hi Guys, I am also into DH...... I have seen Luios a couple of times..... I useally ride at Klapperkop and maybe once evry 2 months at helderkruin. I started with DH to improve my XC skills....... and has since found out that I am hopless at turns (incl. berms and flat turns.) Any advice? Thanks and cheers!

Entryonline - R500 (incl. tent and matress for two evenings).

Full Susser. You sound like a Giant Anthem X candidate, get one new....

Yip, I have one. No problems as far. There is a bit of play in the shaft - you will notice the nose of your saddle can move 2 -3 mm from side to side. This is a standard issue on the post but NOT noticable when riding..... The post will become sticky after a muddy ride but easy to clean and re-grease. Excellent product that I use on EVERY ride.....

I am so excited :-) I am giggeling! What times (what was your times) can we expect for the 3 stages? Cheers!

Hi, Go for the one with the most travel. Cheers!

Mr. Nature, Tell us more (I have already entered..... 5 minutes after seeing the event!) Distance? Drop? Terrain? What bike do you suggest? Downhill rig or All mountain bike? See you on the weekend of the 21st! Thanks!

What bike?

Mr.
