Can I just pitch up at Jonkers on the above dates or should I give you a heads up before coming through?

Hi Andrew Glad you saw through their shenanigans Just from our side, did they mention whether they saw your ad on the Hub or even contact you through the site? Thanks.

Unless you’ve been hiding in the woods high up in the mountains enjoying your own private trail system for the last couple of years, you’re going to have heard about the fat bike phenomenon. Being an inquisitive bike rider, I couldn’t help but want to try one of these beasts. Thankfully, the team at Fat Bike Co South Africa were willing to let me pretend to own one of their Borealis fat bikes for a couple of weeks. Click here to view the article

No, anyone riding a bicycle in South Africa. And yes, the survey appears to be broken. I'll follow up with them. Update: The survey seems to be back up on my side. Anyone still experiencing issues?

Hi berry It may also be worthwhile adding the race to our Events calendar here: https://www.bikehub.co.za/events/event/add/

Hi ddj By cross-country I'm referring to endurance distances with easy to moderate technical difficulty, which I guess would fall into your "our typical weekend 45-75 km rides/races" category. I am also referring to riders of average and below ability riding these routes, not the serious rider or racer. I feel that rider ability is a factor often neglected and misunderstood when selecting a bike in South Africa. I can't think of a topic off the top of my head discussing which suspension setup for each type of riding. Ultimately it will be a personal choice, as even amongst professional racers in specific genres of XC there are differences of opinion on this topic. Try searching the forum, which I admit can be a bit hit or miss sometimes. If you don't find a suitable discussion, please start your own forum discussion on this topic.

No one has every asked us if we're sponsored by The Hub. You must be fast

For this kind of riding, they often place the shifter on the down tube or elsewhere on the frame. He's probably gone with something similar. But just speculating.

Check out Brett Rheeder's latest creation, a unique hay bale slope style course in the British Columbia interior. While Brett is a genius on the bike, his drivetrain choice may also be of some interest to bike geeks. It appears that his Trek is kitted with Shimano's Di2 drive system, including what looks like an Ultegra Di2 derailleur. It will be interesting to see if Brett intends to stick with this setup going forward. Click here to view the article

Fat biking is a hot topic in cycling at the moment with manufacturers scrambling to get their own big tyre beast to market. As with many new trends in cycling, there is still much debate over the long-term usefulness and sustainability of fat bikes. We asked some local industry experts their thoughts on the future of fat biking. Click here to view the article

My favourite event of the year.

There are core experiences that define a mountain biker. Like going up into the mountains and finding trails that are woven into the natural landscape, testing our limits on that terrain, having fun, and going fast. Deep in the heart of the Kootneay region Jared Graves, the reigning Enduro World champ, found just that. Click here to view the article

Despite all the high tech wizardry on display at the 2014 Africa Cycle Fair, it was a hand built steel hardtail that got us most excited. On the relatively flat test track at the 2014 Africa Cycle Fair, the bike was a tease begging to ridden hard. After getting off the Hungry Monkey, I couldn't stop dreaming about how good it would be to point down the most tricky of trails. Watch Iwan Kemp's first ride review of the Hungry Monkey for more details on the bike. Click here to view the article
