Depends on what you ride. The more challenging the terrain you regularly ride (enduro etc) the more you would be swayed towards Flows. If its just general, tamer trail riding then the Arch will work fine. Flows are pretty heavy as far as wheels go, but for a good reason. I've just fitted Flows on my Pyga OneTen and they great. Nice and wide too!

Thanks goodness that Enduro is gaining momentum!

The OneTen, on the ground!

Who says 29er's cant get off the ground.....A bit of fun on the awesome OneTen.

Until a South African business establishes a network with ALL the importers and agents (or the brands themselves), well be left to source from the likes of CRC. I really am a "local is lekker" kind of guy, but supporting local is tough. Interestingly, the local prices are often on par with what you can buy from the likes of CRC, but the range is the difference. Just this last week, i wanted to get a wide (740mm up) AM type of bar for my Yeti, and after a visit to 2 LBS's (yielding nothing), and a very unconvincing bout of online shopping, i gave up, popped onto CRC, and had a massive range of amazing brands to choose from at the click of a button.

Being a PYGA OneTen owner, i do think you are missing the point if you are trying to make it super light. If you want a super light all mountain bike, then there are plenty carbon bikes out there to choose from. Plus, its far easier to loose a kilo round the waist than a kilo off a bike build. I've paid my "school fees" on my bike, after initially ordering all my own parts, i've ended up changing quite a few which have made a massive difference. drivetrain etc up to you, but i promise, the following list will make the biggest difference. dropper post (not negotiable) Wiiiiiidddddeeeee bars (760mm) Short Stem (50mm) Aggressive / high volume tyres My 2c worth.

Was in Clarens this weekend, and to be totally honest, the trails arent the best. Perhaps we are spoiled here in Durban with places like Giba, but dont go there expecting to be blasting around on manicured single track. The trail around town is a mix of town roads and a bit of single track, but its mostly slow and much more cross country than trail. Was a bit disappointed as had heard that the network was good in that area. Awesome views though!

Hi guys. There seems to be a lot of emphasis being put into Enduro these days, and it seems (to me at least) that a lot of the old school downhillers and more experienced riders are driving this and having a whole lot of fun. For those of us who haven't given an Enduro race a bash, what sort of level (skill wise) do you need to be at in order to enjoy (not nescessarily compete for the silverware) at an enduro race? I for example ride 2 to 3 days a week (pre-work hour or so) and a longer ride on weekends, and i do most of my riding around Giba and the likes. I consider myself pretty fit and have developed a few self taught skills with a lot of spills along the way. This however means nothing when faced with a large pallet jump or the likes. It would be great to get some sort of idea (take Giba for example) of what everyday trail section we could complete with some degree of comfort to know what we are getting ourselves into when entering an Enduro?
