Yesterday I slept in a bit and had a late start to my MTB ride. Took one of my favorite routes, the road to Stettyn Dam again, didn't realize how unfit I have become over the past few months of very little riding. Was glad to see that the dam was at full capacity after the recent rains. My wife and son joined me at the dam and we went for a short hike on a footpath used by the Freedom Challenge guys and then we did a bit of fishing. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

Since he got those blue gumboots it's been an ongoing battle trying to get him to wear anything else. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

Took my little guy and the dogs out again today. Must say his a tough little bugger, had a few off's and a biggish OTB on a ramp today, but no tears shed. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

Strongs to the little one man, its part of the learning curve. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

Damn! Second year round I'll be missing this one again. Very good friend decided to get married that weekend and I'm the best man............I'm busy reevaluating our friendship now........ Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

Finally got out of the house for more than a commute today. Started the morning with a road ride on some farm roads around town. It was such a beautifull day to be on the bike in my valley. Spent the afternoon watching some cycling on the tellie and then ended the day of with a ride with my little guy again. Focus is the name of the game. Precious moments with these little ones, he tried a jump again and it ended in a OTB with the bike smacking him in the back of the head. Little shredder just got up, dusted himself of and went on without a peep. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

Since Knog had a heavily discounted clearance sail and my Lbs got in some stock for unbelievable prices I sommer got lights and multi tools for all the bikes in the house. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

I have also seen an new Onza leak through the sidewall, the remedy was as mentioned by others to top up sealent and leave on its side overnight.You can throw in more sealant than the recommended amount, those few grams wont make you slower. I would also recommend using a thicker type sealant for the first week or two to get it sealed, something like sludge or puncturefree works like a charm. Had the exact same issue with a RR before aswell and used the same method as mentioned above for Onza. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

Its really good to see that cycling is becoming such a popular sport at a younger level. Good to see that school's have also started recocnizing cycling as a sport. I believe this will also bring more kids to the sport along with all the races and series's also catering for the youth. Keeps the sport and the industry alive and well.

Took my son out for a ride in the bush/field next to our suburb this afternoon. There's a short oval bmx track that he loves to go ride on. The local neighborhood kids have started building some ramps, much to my little guys delight. I was told that we should stop for a trail selfie. Think he learned it from his mom when they go trail walking. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

Eish! Sorry to hear dude. K@k way to start the weekend hey! [emoji20] Was also thinking of giving the roadbike some love this weekend, but reconsidering now. Hope you and the bike get well soon.[emoji6] Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

I gave my XTC some attention aswell yesterday. Have been running a SR Suntour oil fork for the past year, but not anymore! Got this from my Lbs built up out of parts from various old forks. Lowers and internals from an old model SID and the stanchions are the Blackbox Carbon ones from a Spez Brain SID. If only I can ditch this stubborn flu bug now so I can go ride my upgrades.

Regarding the single bottle cage mount, a slight inconvenience for the average SA rider, but Scott don't exactly aim their bikes at the marathon market. They have Nino Schurter as their poster boy, so I'm drawing the conclusion that their bike is intended for XCO type riding and therefore a single bottle mount is sufficient. Regarding the suspension that "looks like a Giant", Google will show you that there are quite a few different suspension designs and all bikes that have vertically mounted shocks are not coppies of a Giant. Personally I am looking forward to this change in suspension design. The current Scott Spark suspension design is known for suffering from pedal bob, hence their lockout system that "turns it into a hardtail".This new suspension design should supposedly rule out the pedal bob.

I got you bro. [emoji23] #beliketom Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

Not new parts, but new to me. Converted my SS to 1x10, I know this might be frowned uppon by some, but since I put the 160mm fork on I've been wanting to go higher up to come further down and having 10 gears instead of 1 makes going higher up alot easier. [emoji4] Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

I'm really jealous of almost everyone posting on this thread. Other than my daily commute I've only been able to get one ride in for June. I've spent some time on the IDT, but on account of cold/flu I've had to keep the intensity down. [emoji40] Also really itchy to ride my LTHT since I kitted it with 1x10 on Friday. FFS!

We had a beautifull sunrise against the clouds this morning. I have added no filters to this pic, but for some reason my phones camera gave it an almost pastel painted look and added some more yellow colouring than there actually was. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

After more than a week off the bike, except for the trainer, I finally got out of the house on the mtb. We were blessed with a beautifull warm sunny day in the Breederiver Valley. Did alot of climbing and took most off my pics from the top of the hills. Ended up with 31km's and 900m of climbing. Must admit it was very taxing on the body. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk
