  1. Those days you use for playing board games.
  2. Rather get a warmer kit and go hit the trails.
  3. I wouldn't pay that kind of money on any bike in the hope that I can resell it. There is a lot more that I can do with that moola than let it sit in a garage. But if I had a shop, that is another story...
  4. This might be a cheap shot, but I am willing to pay R500 for the rack?
  5. My son wanting to ride the Sani with me would be an excellent excuse to convince the wife to enter. He is turning 3 this month, still a couple of years to wait!
  6. I got a quote on some cheap, no name car tires. But, are they worth it? They are approximately 1k cheaper each than the more well known tires.
  7. My setup did not work in the wet/clay Drakensberg trails.
  8. Imagine being in my shoes, I need to buy new car tires and mountain bike tires at the same time... ALL THE CHOICES...
  9. I run rear 2.4 Aspen and front 2.4 Recon Race. The wheel ID is 30mm. The combo feels fine, but I don't think the Aspen will last very long. I have done around 2000km on the pair.
  10. Shimano, Sram...Go for the best deal you can find. 1x11 is cheaper than 1x12. When I need to replace the parts on my 1x12 groupset, I would probably go for a 1x11. On my previous bike, I had a 1x10, just as good. You can ways play with the gear ratio when replacing the chainring.
  11. I can't really comment on how they compare to other bars, as I don't ride enough to really know how to feel the difference. The carbon bars felt good. But, I tightened the levers and shifters to much, made dents in the bars. And I even used a torque wrench. The 35mm bar also felt more compliant, but I may be wrong. They are lighter than the 31.8 bars.
  12. I have their 35mm and 31.8mm bars, flat, rizer and hi-rize. Still need to try the 35mm sky-rize bar.
  13. Go check out the Rapide bars, there is a good selection and you will get top notch service.
  14. 🤔🤔 A titanium Rapide???
  15. It is because they are out fishing...
  16. I love my Dad's premium DSTV subscription, I get to use the DSTV Now app for free. I never use it, except for Rugby...
  17. According to Google: While red may not physically go faster, it certainly is perceived to, with a global study on colour associations finding that an overwhelming 76% found red the colour most associated with speed.
  18. I like the red and white equally.
  19. I sold a cracked saddle at some stage, did not notice the crack. Offered I full refund to the buyer and he could keep the saddle. I took the loss. The things I would do for a positive rating...
  20. I was in the same boat, could not choose. So I told Wayne when I ordered mine, surprise me with a colour, except the black. My previous bike was black .
  21. Mine is a race machine. 2.4 tyres, front and rear, on 30mm ID rims, 100mm travel Reba and some other cheapish parts. Nothing fancy. Love the Rapide.
  22. I have one. Just get a Rapide. Do it, just do it!
  23. My son has an Avalanche Gooze cheap, but does wat it has to and it takes a beating. Unfortunately, no brake.
