  1. Just need to get a shorter stem now,my 100mm one seems to be a bit long.Will see how it handles this weekend.
  2. The courier dropped of some parts from Rapidé earlier today for my next SS build.The Big Ass 780mm handlebar is for my current steed,and looking good if I might say so myself.
  3. Would like to take a long high intensity ride,and then get on the bike and go for a trail ride.[emoji48]
  4. That is a pretty machine,so much off jealous here.[emoji106]
  5. Looks like youre PC went all 'Tapatalk' on itself.
  6. If it were me,I would not have wanted to ride any further.......
  7. Those twin brakes look scary,I know what kind of stopping power my single sided 160mm rotor brakes have,those must've been dangerously potent to say the least.
  8. Happy Birthday dude,hope you had/have a good one.[emoji109]
  9. You can never have enough black bikes.
  10. Hi Goosebay,not sure about the singletrack you are referring to,but there are lots of what I believe to be newly built singletrack in the Rawsonville area. I usually ride with a friend who lives in the area who shows us the trails.You could get in touch with Slanghoek Louis here on the BikeHub,he is one of the trail builders in the Rawsonville area. Our local club,Worcester Wheelers, have some trails around Worcester aswell,but mostly jeep track with some singletrack.You can go have a look on the worcesterwheelers.co.za website to find out about access to these trails. There is also a boat load of district road around here to ride if youre looking for distance.Drop me line when youre in the area and we could take a ride together sometime.
  11. Had half a nice ride again today.At about 3km in my pedals decided to do this.Luckily I had a spare set in the bakkie,went back for them abd continued on our way.We started with a piece of single track just outside Rawsonville that joins up with the Stettyn dam road.Unfortunatly my brother-in-law took a OTB and landed back first on some rocks.Trying to act tough he said he was fine and we continued on towards the dam.About halfway we stopped for a breether,we could see he was suffering alot and he finally decided to drop the tough guy act,so we turned around and headed home.
  12. These trails look amazingly good,will have to make a point of doing the event next year.
  13. Sorry,mistook/misread youre question.See Monarks answer above.
  14. 'Centre lock' or '6 Bolt' only refers to the way that the disc is mounted to the hub.This will make no difference to youre frame,as long as youre CX frame and fork are able to take discbrake calipers it wont matter what type of disc you use.Only size will matter(as always)????
  15. Did half a ride around our local farm trails.Some nice scenery going past Brandvlei dam and The Breede River.
  16. Did a chilled ride past Brandvlei dam this morning with some mates.Unfortunately the ride was cut short by a puncture.Tried to 'trailfix' the cut with a wrapper,but the cut was to big to continue on.Went to McD's for a coffee instead.
  17. Took my little guy out for a ride this afternoon.Whilst trying to get some action photos I hit a hole in the jeeptrack and went OTB.Was comical seing my 4year old throw down his bike and run over to me asking me if I'm okay. So taking this picended up in this picbut it was worth it.
  18. Hell of a commute you have there.[emoji4]
  19. Went out this morning with the wife for a beachfront cruize through Franskraal to end off the weekend.
  20. We visited my folkes in Gansbaai for the weekend and I went out for a long solo ride yesterday.Was lucky enough to catch the sunrise at the perfect moment on the bridge at Uilkraalsmond.Found these old feul pumps in a back street of the little town of Elim.And rode on some beautifull country lane through the local farmlands.
  21. I know what you mean,I tend to spend about 6months on a bike,still have about a month to go,but I've really started to grow fond of my XTC aswell.
  22. You stil have the XTC?I'd have thought you would have moved on already.......[emoji185]
  23. I've wondered about the safety of that fence aswell,but I always take someone with to lessen the odds.I dont have to be faster than the lion,I just have to be faster than the other guy.[emoji48]
