    A comfortable, well-organised backpack is essential for anyone on the move. If your lifestyle demands mobility or you simply need to arrange your clutter, the Thule Crossover may be the ideal backpack for you. Click here to view the article

    The race begins with riders having to stay upright for up to 4 minutes without crossing the start line. Riders are eliminated if they put a foot down, grab the rail, cause a rider to fall, ride off the track surface or fall. The one lap race then starts with whoever is left.

    According to the Easton website here (we haven't confirmed this), Hullabaloo are the South African distributors.

    Omnico recently hosted their annual Roadshow exhibition last week to show off the 2015 bikes and gear. We went along to see what you can expect from Cannondale, GT, Crankbrothers, Mongoose, Bell, Stages and Fabric this coming year. Click here to view the article

    There has been much talk about the rather ominous yet extremely well reviewed Lesotho Sky recently. After its 4th successful event just a few weeks ago, entries to the event are now open. Event director Darol Howes says “We are excited about opening entries again, it is exciting to see who comes back and which new names take up the challenge of coming and riding 6 awesome days in the Adventure Kingdom.” Click here to view the article

    The iconic Union Buildings set the stage for the first Engen Cycle in the City festival-style criterium held in Pretoria on Saturday. Hundreds of colourful cyclists took to the streets in an array of race categories that drew participants from all walks of life; ranging from the competitive street kings and queens to the "just for fun" minions and the fixie flat-box fundis.

    Fat bikes seem to be everywhere at the moment. Even Chris Akrigg is trying his hand at them on the beach. Watch Chris take fat biking to new heights. Click here to view the article

    The current trend in mountain biking is towards wider handlebar and shorter stem lengths. To adapt, some manufacturers have began offering fatter handlebar and stem options. Enter the FUNN Fatboy 35 handlebar and Stryge stem, both made to fit an oversized 35mm handlebar diameter. Click here to view the article

    Garmin Edge 1000

    Nick replied to RMmtb8r's topic in New Gear

    Morning Hubbers I've published the press release from Garmin Southern Africa announcing the Edge 1000. Click here to view the article. Unfortunately, in the process of linking this earlier forum topic to the comments of the article, I accidentally overwrote RMmtb8r's original post. Please accept my apologies for this RMmtb8r. Feel free to edit the original post in your own words again, RMmtb8r.

    If you're doing Eselfontein festival (making assumptions based on your location) or any other race say "Hi". Congrats on the MTB win. Did you take home the iron man award?

    Mad man Hope someone gave you a lift home. Yes, that was me.

    In that case, thanks for the chat and refreshments. I was broken when I got there. And thanks for the pre-race updates and videos. Really got me keen for this event.
  15. Nick
    Thanks! You weren't by any chance stationed at the water point at the top of the main climb?
  16. Nick
    Great event! Where can I find the results, once they're up?

    When the guys at Performance Bikes told us they had some shiny FUNN gear for us to look at, we weren't quite prepared for the colour assault our eyes were in for. The main attention grabber being the Fatboy Chameleon bars, although the two pairs of pedals, the cross-country Tactic and downhill Mamba, can't be labeled as dull either.

    You should be able to get them from http://www.performancebikes.co.za/ We're busying testing the FUNN Fatboy 35mm diameter bar and stem for a review. Should be out in the next couple of weeks, if you're interested.

    For 2014, the UCI MTB World Championships have landed in Norway on what is set to be and incredible weekend of racing. The pits are alive with chatter of who can take the Rainbow Stripes for 2014 and from watching the timed training runs, it appears to be anyone’s race to win. Click here to view the article

    I was on the mountain this morning and took this quick video of the completed trail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtP9btc5Pp0&

    Mountain bike trails, many of us live for these sculptured tracks of dirt. But where do they come from? Who's building them? And why don't we know? While I won't be going into why many South African mountain bikers can't answer these fundamental questions, I will be pointing out who's responsible for the most recent modifications to the Rhodes Memorial single track on Table Mountain.

    Cyclist safety is a serious concern, especially when on the road. Many road cyclists and commuters have at least one story about their dance with death. Ikubu, based in Stellenbosch, have developed a device that they hope will better prepare you to avoid these close encounters. Click here to view the article

    South Africa’s the leader in MTB stage races, but it is also adopting enduro racing with fervour. Fast catching on around South Africa, this discipline attracts a new breed of rider: from XCO and DH. Does that mean you need another bike in your garage? We’d say yes (as you can never have too many), but the bank manager might having something to say about that… Click here to view the article

    Radical bike builds are not dissimilar from concept cars at motor shows. Last week’s Project BLACK build was a dream ‘weight weenie’ creation from the Momsen Bikes geeks, showing off the potential of the Momsen Bikes VIPA frame. This week’s bike is one for the out-and-out racers: if you’re aiming to be on the start line of a World Cup race or one of South Africa’s prestigious stage races, you’ll want to take notice of this special race build… Click here to view the article
