    I think it has to do with not enough fiber/glitter/solids to block the hole. My HD and Rock Razor did the same thing (I'm using some other funny green sealant), I've since retired the HD, but the Rock Razor is still on the back. The Razor, beside doing that, was battling to seal some cuts I had from a Downhill event, so opened it up and found the sealant fibers had congealed into two balls. Added some more sealant, making sure to hold it upside down to let the fibers out 1st and no issues since. No wet patches either!

    I was honestly considering this stuff last week when i was shopping for sealant, it looked the business, but I was mounting a Maxxis DHF non TL tire, so caved and went with stans for the latex. Tire mounted no issues and is holding pressure perfectly Will give this Ryder a go next time!

    I agree with the traction issue. That goes for both acceleration and cornering, nothing new. But as "IQ of 2" said, there is a trend now towards wider rims resulting in softer + wider tyres which assits with the much needed traction. Admittedly I don't see it ever getting to the extreme's we see in MTB due to rolling resistance. I can definitly see why things are progressing the way they are.

    Exactly and yet they still fit excellent brakes? You have no complicated wizardy, saftely belt, or enclosed cockpit yet still want to run on brakes designed yonks ago? Whats speeds do you get clock on some of the downhill sections? You are riding a bike, heaven forbid you actually ride it and move your weight around to aid acceleration, braking and cornering

    All this skeptisim is counter intuitive to me. If you wanted to build a racing car, stopping quick would be just as import as going fast. If you scared of otb, go on some mtb skills clinics to get your weight back during braking!

    I'm in the same boat :/ @Peach I'm assuming stage 5 will open?

    I must say, order 3 pairs 2 weeks ago, and I simply love love them! Will be ordering again soon! They make great work socks!

    If I had the money and fitness for stage races I'd probably buy this, it's just beautiful!

    I feel old, was a couple age groups above Dodd many years ago (~12), and he used to give the older guys a good run for their money!
  14. NukeproofPeanut
    Available where? I can only find the price.
  15. NukeproofPeanut
    Damn I was hoping to sneak in a few lessons from you.. Next DH I'll beat you

    I see an overflow of people needing skills training... You need an assistant Peach

    What's the expected price of a Reverb in SA? I'm looking at getting a short dropper for my bike (30.9mm). 100mm drop and short insert, no more than around 18/19cm. The reverb 355/100 fits the bill perfectly.

    The best I can explain is -25.934967, 28.218010 Riding the trails you probably go past it twice, but the quickest way is taking the blue route from the dirt road ( one that goes under the Rosie bridge jump). This blue route goes into a black which goes down to the river over a bridge. The DH is in this area. Hahaha why thank you!

    Finally finished this bike after buying the frame from @sakkiebomskok last year September... After a full easterweekend of riding Wolwespruit, RedBarn and PWC. Nice little DH section at RedBarn:

    I'm just not keen on spending days flipping them on a bucket trying to get them to seal properly. From the sounds of it, I think the MM on the front will be fine for my riding. Considering its expected life span there shouldn't be an issue as I don't do too many km's.

    Looking at the pictures of the tyres, I'm also inclined to the new Nobby and that WTB. Like my current Nobby, the Onza looks to have a dead spot, which has cause me to wash out on two occasions so far. The all or nothing into a corner is not inspiring when you tired! @ Robo I'm assuming you have stock of both, at the shop in 26"? Might stop by this weekend to have a closer look at them before deciding!
  23. NukeproofPeanut
    I've read some reviews on it, and I don't think it's suitable for gauteng's dry conditions. It looks to have amazing grip, but more designed for loamy soil than our dry hard pack.
  24. NukeproofPeanut
    I'm looking for a replacement 26" front tire. Hopefully locally! Currently I have Front: Nobby Nick 2.35 (lugs are wearing and ripping up a bit, but all are still there) Rear: WTB Wolverine (twice at hakahana and looking great!). Must be tubeless compatible! No conti's please, as much as I loved the grip of my X-King the side wall was like a sieve! This Hans Dampf seems like the obvious choice: http://www.easybike.co.za/schwalbe-hans-dampf-evo-snakeskin-trailstar-26-x-2-35-tl-easy.html Are there other options i'm missing?

    Could be wrong but thought I saw some at Solomon cycles the last time I was there.
