  1. https://strava.app.link/17MGswW2mSb They have a regular Saturday ride
  2. Some shop rides that welcome everyone: Wednesday: Ciovita Friday: East City Cycles Saturday: Freewheel Cycology Good place to meet new people. Check out their socials for more info.
  3. A little video of my 5 year old on said bike ♥️ WhatsApp Video 2025-04-01 at 18.07.39_8e59e114.mp4
  4. @Lindi Magnus check this bike out... https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/kids-bikes/806221/merida-matts-j-20-20-inch-wheel-mtb We have the 20+ version without the "suspension" fork and with the wider tyres. really excellent little bike
  5. At 5 years old, maybe look at a 20 inch. My 5 year old just got her brothers 20 inch and is loving it.
  6. So was doing a caliper rebuild on a Shimano 4 pot. Was a bit too relaxed about the process and wasn’t being careful when removing the pistons. Applied compressed air to one of the ports and didn’t have a rag between the pistons. The one piston shot out hit the opposite piston and shattered. Soooo anyone have a scrapped caliper lying around or a piston? It’s the smaller piston I’m after.
  7. Anyone perhaps have a spare Shimano piston from a 4 pot caliper? I’m looking for the smaller piston. Broke one when doing a rebuild. Or even a scrapped 4 pot caliper would be good, don’t mind salvaging the piston myself.
  8. Hoping to do a mtb ride in the George Knysna area next week. Best spot Witfontein? Any other recommendations? More trail fun than xc preferably. Is it safe to ride alone around these parts?
  9. How do you view someone’s profile on the classified side of the hub if you click on their profile on the forum side and vice versa?
  10. How many does he have?
  11. In his defence, 1A were doing a coffee ride cruise along that stretch
  12. @ Racing men 40-49 and 17-29 not in elite race I don't know the guy personally
  13. I was told this time was a mtb with mtb tyres on Sunday... @ group
  14. I actually saw him again this morning and had a brief chat. Things are sounding positive!
  15. Did I possibly spot Luke on a different brand mtb today? 👀
  16. If you are hammering it down the dh trails, sure. Riding everything else is fine on a hard tail. Would be my preferred weapon of choice for mast or noordhoek peak. I get what you're saying about the perceived rockiness for up country folk.
  17. Also want to add that if the wind is blowing like it is today, you aren't exactly going to be loving life riding towards Cape Point, the other direction will be way more appealing.
  18. Definitely mountain bike! From Kalk Bay it’s a short ride to Clovelly which gets you to ou wa pad (next to ou kaapse weg) from there you have noordhoek peaks, Tokai (arguably some of the best trails in SA) the beautiful mast climb. Can connect to newlands/kirstenbosch via the greenbelt trails, Table Mountain loop from there, missing link, back around chappies or on the trail next to constantia nek road. If you don’t want to take ou wa pad to Tokai, there are loads of riders on main road going towards Tokai. Also you can ride your Mtb on the road when doing the peninsula loop, Cape Point etc. Throw in a wine tasting/breakfast for the rest of the family in stellies take the bike with.
  19. There’s no such thing as bad publicity!
  20. I replaced my sons levers with Shimano mt200’s, I think they were R250 each from my lbs. They actually feel pretty good.
  21. Are we talking about ebikes?
  22. On a positive note. This was sorted out within 1 day of logging.
  23. Descending Constantia Nek this morning on the Hout Bay side, came across a bag of cement that had been dropped on the road, causing a hazardous raised section. This is just after the sharpish right hand turn. I have logged a service request on the COCT site.
  24. Not sure if this has been mentioned, but engaging with the ward Councillor Ian McMahon may help. Cell number: 083-274-3579 Email: Ian.McMahon@capetown.gov.za
