  1. Having moved to the UK last year (with a huge cycling community), I have really missed Bikehub classifieds and realise I really did not appreciate the huge service BikeHub offer . There is no similar online place here where you can buy 2nd hand from cyclists and so you have to deal with Facebook Marketplace with is generally a vomitfest. So I just want to say well done and thank you to Matt and the team for creating and keeping BikeHub alive!
  2. Dave\'s piece of shit-classic! That thing is truly the perfect Cape Town Trail bike...
  3. I've got 2x Camelbak Mules for sale (they are a bit bigger for all day affairs in the mountains and they need to go so am happy to let them bothe gor for the price of one (R1100) if anyone needs 2 . Check my classifeid account...
  4. OK, I've just spoken to Frankie and she said I could post the results here for you (she thought that everyone had the results already, which you kind of do if you just use our App
  5. Hi Guys, Not sure why you don't have the official results yet as I 've sent them to the organiser on Sunday evening already.
  6. One thing that nobody has mentioned here. The expense of signage. It's probably the sole reason for inadequate route marking. After building a trail network (it aint cheap!). Adding signage into the mix afterwards is often a thought that hasn't crossed the landowners mind and the expense and effort in erecting signage and keeping it maintained is a big one!
  7. I have a SL 70mm and a Normal 60mm in my garage .DM me
  8. Hi Mechanick, We offer smart trainer rentals (Elite Direto XR) More info here-> https://www.irideafrica.com/features/smart-trainer-rental/
  9. Nice! But I as good as these aggressive hardtails look, when they're made out of alu the ride from the rear end is just too harsh IMO. Make them out of steel with all the springiness and forgiveness to overcome what you're putting the front end through and I'll be their biggest fan (Same goes fro the Silverback Slade and the Commencel Meta Hardtail.)
  10. Howzit Tony, you talking about for the Dirt Map posters? Can do a custom poster for you (just email me). As far as maps for our website there's no way I can do gravel routes as basically the world is your oyster for that and there aren't really any set gravel routes as far as I know?!
  11. Hi Hubbers, Just to let you know that we've updated the Jonkershoek map. For you map lovers we've also introcduced a series of high quality trail maps to buy and display in your home or bike cave. You can buy the poster or get us to frame it for you in a beautiful, high quality wooden box frame. Check them out here https://www.irideafrica.com/dirt-maps/ We've also done a few custom maps already and I think the 2019 Enduro Champs might be a best seller to those enduro okes
  12. I think this may be Duran van Heedens! (trailbuilder extraordanaire)
  13. Ah...That red KZN dirt ! Great stuff guys.Would love to come ride there again
  14. My Mercer Gangly Gibbon! The perfect Cape Town trail bike with 140mm front and 120mm rear travel but I've overdorked it to 160mm/120mm at times. South Industries Wheels Lyne Components Bar, Stem and Dropper Csixx 28t chainring (and their rad topcap has been used as a custom chainguide. Maxxis Double Down Agressor 2.3 (28psi)on the back (with vittoria airliner insert) Assegai grip 2.5(23. 5psi) DVO Topaz shock at 160psi (no Tokens) with bladder at 190psi. Rebound 3 clicks from fastest. DVO Diamond fork at 90psi, Rebound 10 clicks from max. OTT 8 revolutions from min. SRAM code brakes and 11sp Drivetrain Two waterbottle cages Head angle of about 65.7 degrees, Reach 475mm Chain stays 430mm Seat angle around 73 degrees. This bike has taken me to many incredible trails and has given me so much happiness
  15. Invested my money on a green one (the colour is sooooo good in real life) and I must say that it is so clever to be able to build the tool with the pieces YOU want. Also, building it up is like playing with lego again (I actually let my 6yr old daughter do it).The quality feels brilliant and sturdy and using it makes me happy. If it seems too much put in on your Christmas wishlist and get your family/spouse to buy it for you. Much better than getting 4 sh1$ gifts
