    [Event] Ezelenduro 2018

    V18 replied to RvonT's topic in Events

    Jonkers big 7 is tougher. Ezel you can take your time. Hiking is actually very energy efficient I found. Nursing a semi-babelas also helps with the long effort.

    [Event] Ezelenduro 2018

    Will be missing it this year it seems. Budget and family constraints. I do want FOMO updates. Think an ezel WhatsApp live location group would be cool. Mmmm. Probably no reception.

    Ouberg?

    Can't believe how good these look.

    Sold my road bike a while back. Skittish on all but perfect tarmac. Got a cotic escapade with tubeless 40c tyres. Love it. Commute 20km everyday. No punctures. Hop side walks when I need to. Ride through parks. No suspension getting unnecessary cycling. Just chain and cable wear. Even hook the kids trailer to the back for some gravel road naptime exploring.

    This brand just looks great. That is all.

    Gear for Enduro 2.0

    So basically a shorty.

    I'm rather excited about this one. Have never ridden there and at least this year I've been doing some training. Now just to mount handlebars to a vibroshake machine to plank my way out of arm pump... Or just go ride more.

    I had such a lekker day out. Everything worked. Bike. Legs. Trails. Tried out some new lightweight body armour too. Didn't get to put it to test but good to know its light and barely noticeable. Got to protect the dadbod.

    Panaracer gravel King. Specialised sawtooth. Legit.

    Don't overlooked the trp mechanicals. I've never set up mechanical brakes before these and these took me 10min. They wear evenly. So barrel adjuster only from there.

    My lovely cotic escapade

    I bought the frame and worked from there. Very happy with my result. Don't hate too much on trp spyre breaks. They're mechanical and do feel very different but with that tiny contact patch on unpredictable surfaces the last thing you want is XT hydraulic type power.

    Maxxis aggressor rear and Shorty 2.5 front.

    Stock tyre choice is a very difficult thing to keep everyone happy. In our cycling group (we ride the same trails mostly) almost none of us have the same tyre choices. Perhaps it's better to keep the price down a little and let the customer themselves decide what rubber they want to fall in love with. I've never kept the stock rubber on a bike for longer than 3months anyway. It's a very choosy thing this. But ja. I'd ask the bike shop to buy them off me and slap on some fat spez butchers.

    Thanks for that. Jip. Solaris seem great. I just really like the look of the escapade and my commute is straight into a headwind most summer/autumn mornings. So time will be spent in the drops. Anyone ready to sell me their large escapade?

    Hi guys. I'm in the process of getting n+1. Need a tough commuter for next year as I'm moving 10km from my work. Some gravel road. Some steep hills. Always liked the cotic brand and they don't seem to break the bank. Any suggestions will be welcome. Also. Anyone willing to part with their XL build... Let me know too.

    This was last weekend. The singletrailer has opened up new opportunities for me to go out with my wife and 10month old. Suspension works so well its not uncommon for me to look back to see him snoozing away. Dirt paths/jeep track and quiet neighbourhoods for now. So far so good.

    I love Ebikes. Don't want one now. But one day when I've had my first(or seventh) heart attack and my effort tollerance is down to ****. For now. I'm 30.fit ish. Want to use the body I got. Don't want a boep. Don't ride nearly enough to justify missing out exercise whilst out on the bike. Let's say I'm unemployed after I win the lotto. I'll get the best dh ebike there is... For shuttling. We don't have skilifts. But we do have Ebikes. Problem solved. Engineers make the world go round.

    I would be careful buying the titan as my first dually. You said comfort... The short travel would certainly be better but nowhere near the real plushness you would be expecting. Of you are going to buy something worth all the extra maintenance and money up front, buy proper stuff with proven reputation. Camber is a safe bet. 29er for me always. 130mm rear travel minimum and anything up from a revelation up front. Buying cheap is buying twice.

    Giant trance. Silverback slade or sido. Rocky mountain element/altitude

    That one got me!

    This looks amazing.
