    Anyone know a good podiatrist in PTA ? Need new inners. Thanks

    Maybe but sub-2 is probably a bigger achievement like the sub 10 100m or the sub 4 min mile. Hope Eluid destroys the Olympics and think he is running the Berlin Marathon again so might be able to come close two sub 2. Otherwise he will probably get the lifetime achievement award in a couple of years

    Bought the Jaybird Vista overseas last year. So far great experience and decent upgrade from my previous JBL Reflect Mini 2. (The two aren't in the same class and I can recommend both, JBL currently on Special) https://www.incredible.co.za/jbl-reflect-mini-2-green?gclid=EAIaIQobChMInJH24dDO5wIVQ5nVCh1wYgmcEAkYDyABEgLmh_D_BwE https://www.bigapplebuddy.com/product/8/vista-true-wireless-in-ear-headphones-black/803?child_sku=6320598&utm-medium=pla&utm-co=ZA&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3pD4stDO5wIVTLDtCh1V3gVNEAQYAiABEgIyc_D_BwE

    Was looking at the similar price point and everyone recommend the Silverback Stratos range. Not sure which of the two is better but Hotspot Cycles have a special on the 970 and 960 Scott.

    Hey guys left my two oceans qualifying a bit late so I over trained the last couple of weeks and gave myself shin splints. Need to run a martahon in two weeks so looking for any recovery tips and alternative exercises to keep fit? Thanks

    Hey guys found a nice bike but want to spray paint the frame. Is it difficult to remove all the components ? (Will obviously need to get all the tools)

    Hey guys any idea what it costs to spray paint a bike ? Want to buy this baby but need to change the colour ASAP. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1077197239287223/

    Did you ever confirm if you could list the parts separately ?

    Hey guys saw this which seems like a pretty good deal ? Any thoughts https://bikemarket.co.za/shop/bicycles/mountain-bikes/specialized-camber-l-bm3920/

    Het guys, getting a new mtb and want to insure it for 25-30k.Tries outsurance R250 and Miway R300. Anyone used the king price R1 insurance?
  14. Zama7
    Not to heavy for the long rides ?
  15. Zama7
    Thanks I see you can get a decent Carbon 2nd hand between 25-30 K which might be a better buy than a new aluminium for 30k. Will visit Bike Market this weekend and check out - https://bikemarket.co.za/shop/bicycles/mountain-bikes/specialized-epic-l-bm3826/

    https://www.bicycling.com/bikes-gear/a20022549/carbon-fiber-bike-construction/ Appears you are correct

    Only problem is the location as I am based in Pretoria. I assume this bike was bought second hand as a 2014 bike is old although the price and specs appear very good. Only concern is a mate told me a Carbon Frame generally only lasts about 5 years and if the previous owner road it a lot won't it only last a year or two ?
  18. Zama7
    Had a look at the Stratos AL 2 today (same as the 3 except has NX Eagle and slightly better breaks and fork). Must say really impressed probably the best bike you can find new at around 30k.
  19. Zama7
    Thanks I bought the magazine which was useful but they don't have the exact range I am looking for. They recommend: Silverback Stratos Al 5 - 21K Merida One Twenty RC 9 XT Edition - 39K (so will above budget) The rest are all around the 40 - 45k. Yip I am running fit but no mountain bike experience. Been hitting the watt bike for a few weeks now I just need a bike so I can practice the technical stuff. Thanks will check out Bike Market this weekend. Currently looking at the silverback Al 2/3/4 for a new bike haven't really found a newish 2nd hand bike that appears good value.
  20. Zama7
    Thanks guys, might currently be looking at a 2nd hand bike but not sure if the warranty on the frame passes over to the new owner? Currently looking at: 2017 Scott Spark 950 - 20k 2018 Giant Anthem 2 - 25K Will go visit a few bikes shops tomorrow in JHB / PTA to check out the available stock
  21. Zama7
    Open for any other recommendations don't really now titan.

    Hey Guys So I am new to mountain biking and have entered the Sani2C with a couple of Mates. No real mountain bike experience so I need some advice. I have read through the forum and online and there seems to be numerous options. Not to worried if new or second hand (if I go second hand looking for a relatively new bike that has been serviced regularly) Weights: 80 - 85kg Height" 182 cm Bike Frame Size: L Wheels: 29", might consider 27.5" if on special but not sure there is really a 2nd hand market Duel Suspension, think a hard-tail might be hard for the stage race Budget: 20-30k but closer to 20k preferably Options I am currently looking at (In the current order) : Trek Feul EX 5 (not sure if 10 speed is enough?) Startos AL 3 Scott Spark 970 Giant Stance 29 2 Merida Ninety Six 9 They all seem much of a much any recommendations or personal experience with the bikes ? thanks
  23. Zama7
    Thanks the 940 just a bit to pricy might have a look for a decent 2nd hand special.
  24. Zama7
    What price did you pick it up for? Also in the Market for a new bike and currently deciding between Trek Feul ex 5/7 and the Scott Spark 960/940
  25. Zama7
    Did you go for the trek and how has the ride been?
