Great response that. Link to the video please - couldn't find anything. I see Lewis has backtracked on his initial comments, and now accepts it was a racing incident. Heard nothing from Merc, but I see Arrivabene was rather scathing towards them, and especially James Allison

New Maxxis EXO+ casing. https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/Maxxis-EXO-Casing-and-New-Rekon-Race-Tire-EUROBIKE-2018,2430 The arrival of EXO+ tire casing introduces a silk-shield layer which runs within the casing, from bead to bead, providing what is quoted as a 27% increase in puncture protection, a 51% increase in sidewall durability, as well as a 28% increased resistance to pinch flats. EXO+ casing adds about 30 to 40grams to a given tire size and fills a gap between the existing EXO and Double Down casings. Because this EXO technology is designed for more aggressive riding styles, it will initially show up on the Minion DHF, DHR II, and Rekon tread patterns and likely only in the WT (Wide Trail) sizes.

So let me get this straight, a week ago in Austria Ferrari would not swap Raikonnen and Vettel at the end to give Vettel 2nd place, but they will risk Raikonnen crashing into Hamilton at the start of the race to give Vettel an advantage. And Vettel would deliberately crash into Bottas, who is not really in the championship race, and damage his own front wing??? Lewis is such a cry baby and sore loser, and I've lost any respect I had for him. Also very disappointed in Mercedes implying the same thing.

They didn't have Honda to blame anymore

I saw something about Elon Musk and a farting unicorn, but not really sure what the hooha is about.

To be honest, I'm also not sure if they do full bike wraps, but worth asking them

I came across these guys on FB a little while back .... Ballistic Bike Armour (search for them on Facebook). I've never used them so can't comment on their work, but I've also been interested in maybe getting some decals done.

Jip, been recalled apparently ... https://singletrackworld.com/2018/06/product-recall-milkit-booster-tyre-inflator/

Ooo, new Snow Patrol album just dropped.

Exactly, I thought that was his main goal.

One of the last photos's it managed to take

One of NASA's photographers had his camera a bit to close to the action. Apparently they still managed to recover the photos it took

Here is the Youtube video if anyone is interested. Crash is at the 7:28 mark Amazing trails

That's a *** one, sorry man

Luckily I was on my way up, so I was going slowly and could spot the bugger from far, and not surprise it or nearly ride over it this time. It was a little moody, huffing and puffing the whole time. Waited for it to move off into the bush before I left it. But I agree with Moridin, this warmish weather is probably keeping them more active for longer. There was a kids party at the entrance to Eden, with a large bunch of boys playing laser tag, and running all over the forest. Scary stuff.

Just over 2 years (almost to the day) from my first puffy encounter, found this little fattie over the trail in Eden Forest, Stellenbosch on Saturday

Yes please...

Quick question: What is the minimum internal rim width the DHR II 2.4 WT will work on, or at least still be better than the 2.3? I think my rims are 24mm internal, and I'm assuming the 2.4 WT won't really work.

I'd be up for that

I need to get up there. Can't believe (actually embarrassed to think) I have been in S/West this long and not ridden there.
