    Johann Rabie does it all. He's a former road professional, now riding as mountain biker for Team Telkom, and in between being a pro he owns a successful bike shop in Malmesbury. There is much we could talk to Johann about but for this feature it's all about his bike, a Merida Ninety-Six Team. Click here to view the article

    Review: Pyga Stage

    Nick replied to Matt's topic in New Gear

    Correct. 16 April it was. I think we got confused with the official launch date of the bike to the press, which was in June.

    Rocky Mountain make an aluminium hardtail with a modest specification. Yes, it came as a surprise to me too. Departing from the image of their mid to high end performance bikes, the Trailhead seeks to bring the Rocky Mountain brand to a wider market. Click here to view the article

    Good question. We'll random draw from our favourite five submissions. You'll have to guess what we like

    Nothing too serious. A small scratch to his cornea. But the chirps he received yesterday were a bit more severe

    For three consecutive weekends this month, Kevin Benkenstein will be Everesting (climbing 8,848 metres) in three different cities to raise money for Qhubeka. This is a haul of over 26,500 metres of ascent. Kevin completed his first challenge in Cape Town over the weekend with Johannesburg and Durban to come. We asked Kevin a few questions about his Climbing for Qhubeka challenge. Click here to view the article

    Pedal choice is very personal. Some people prefer the efficiency and sure-footedness of being mechanically bound to their pedal while others enjoy the freedom and simplicity of riding with a flat pedal. Both have their advantages and drawbacks. This is where MagLOCK steps in, with the claim to give riders the best of both worlds with their magnetic pedals. Click here to view the article

    I've been wondering the same. There is a discussion here that might answer some questions: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/156169-drilling-frame-for-reverb-stealth

    Sorry, by "fitter" I didn't mean in reference to your specific abilities. I meant the guys and ladies in the running for a top finish on a segment like this. The shuttling was mostly to assist the film crew. We're just glad that so many people went out and had a go on this fantastic trail.
  15. Nick
    There are benefits to a warm up and for fitter riders that climb doesn't take too much out of the legs if approached at a reasonable pace.

    Yeah - can't argue that one. But it's a Friday plus I have an identical coloured Fourstroke with a Float shock standing right next to the Teamelite.

    Yes, we'll have something about Alan's bike very soon.

    If I recall correctly, James raced in La Bresse, Albstadt, Nove Mesto and Lenzerheide. South African women did not accumulate enough points to qualify for the Olympics.

    https://www.specialized.com/za/en/bikes/mountain/enduro The glove link does make it a bit more difficult.

    FYI the local pricing is on the Specialized website. If that's what you're trying to determine.

    According to the SRAM website: SID World Cup - 1366g; RS-1 1666g. I'm not sure Jaroslav will ride an RS-1 in Rio. Here's a video of him without one in training:https://www.facebook.com/Simonandreaasen/videos/vb.1481181105491984/1783033055306786/?type=3&theater
