  2. So what is it exactly? A camp fire chair? :-)

  4. Entered. Would be super sweet to win this beauty..praying
  5. Wife was not too happy when I asked if she could take them alone Can do next weekend.
  6. I can't make Sat, kiddies party from 10:00-15:00 :-(
  7. Im keen on a lesson, really need to up my skill.
  8. There's a farm? where? I can't see it...all I see is Evil, Evil everywhere..
  9. Yes, that little step down makes it super hard and if you get that wrong then you toast. That where I kept stopping and getting off the bike until eventually I got it. That immediate left then goes into a super steep rocky climb, I stopped, looked at it, got off the bike and walked...hahahaha....that Barrys point felt like it took me hours..
  10. Yup, that looks like them dude. The one had two white dots to show you the line and when I walked over to check the line, I walked back to my bike and the line just looked crazy from a far, way more scary, so had to walk back to the where the line was and told myself to just follow. Walked back to my bike (dropper post a must), took a long hard swallow, held on and pedaled...held on and just let the bike do most of the work. Heart pounded so hard that if I had a heart rate monitor it would have exploded..lol..Rode both those rock faces but there was a lot I walked, like the ups and some of the last downhill section but didn't car I I rode those rock faces. Lets not discount the first section, the entrance, it's probably harder and more nerve wrecking...toke me like3-4 times to get it right. I hit brakes soon after cos I got a little scared, walked back up, did it again, hit brakes, walked back up until I eventually just did it.
  11. Jislaak, it was no joke. My nerves were shot after that. To make it worse, you come out back onto the new twin towers green/blue route where you have that single track section going up to that rock section and came out at the top of twin towers. When I saw where I came out, I just went onto the orange route back to the car , ill be dammed if was going to do that all over again.
  12. Decided to Try Barry's Point on Saturday ....it was hectic. After analyzing the rock faces like 4 times I eventually plucked up the courage to ride them....held on for dear life but was awesome. Even the very first piece I meesed up a few times until I got it right. All the uphills sections walked and one part of a downhill section. Man alive, that track is seriously advanced and you need lots of fitness and skill but i'm chuffed I rode a lot of it. I could not upload all the pics as they too big but there do not do that track any justice. It's hair raising (for me anyway).
  13. Doesn't it pair with a hr strap?
  14. Haha, yeah was surprised no one said that. I have Only changed shimano cassettes before...eish.
  15. Please educate me on this Hub: The part with the grooves/channels where the cassette goes on only features a small section close to the actual hub rather than the whole free body being grooved/channeled for the cassette. then there is a section that looks threaded and the rest features recesses. Never seen this before. Does it require a special cassette? Or have I just been living under a rock with regards to MTB innovations?
  16. Yeah, just Googled it and it looks pretty simple to do. Can be a little pricey if you.need to change the dust wiper seals as that kit can be a little pricey. Forks/shocks are something I have stayed away from but if the damper doesn't need service then the lower leg surface looks doable☺
  17. The video seems to show that removing the lowers is a pretty simple job. Is it really?
  18. With them big side knobs you should be good in the corners but got to learn like the Tower of pisa...lol
  19. Pretty cool and handy to have but a trip to the petrol station cost you nothing, ok, a tad bit of petrol but how often would you need to seat tyres anyways
  20. Had these two now and they were both really lekker

  24. Thanks, Was hoping it would be a 30 mm rise. Just wanted to experiment with rise. If you will to sell it, I may consider buying it but then of course you would need another bar.
