  1. Just getting everyone's views on the above in the market to replace mine.
  2. Hi there new to the rules of road cycling, wanted to know can I use Aero TT bars for the 65km Amashova race?
  3. 2800 for the heli trip will have to pass on that one
  4. Exactly what we looking for thanks for the help
  5. We don't mind we will go to any part of the Berg the gravity/ enduro stuff sounds like a plan????
  6. Hi guys couple mates and I are planning a trip to the berg for a day of MTB where is the best place to go for good technical single track with good downhills? We don't have GPS so will need to follow route markings
  7. Looking to get a new helmet loving the trail/all mountain style helmets, what's your thoughts on best value for money and must look good
  8. Has anyone had this bike if so how does it climb and what do u think of it
  9. If you want to go for a Giant a friend has a 2015 large like new he is very neg prob get it for around 23 or so has carbon cranks XT shifter tubeless worth a look
  10. I know this has been asked time and time again but I'm in a predicament I have a Anthem X1 2015 like new I'm thinking of selling for the 2016 Giant Trance I mainly ride Giba and Karkloof do the 20km Roag rides but will move onto the 40kms as soon as I'm fit enough want to do Berg and Bush, I'm not out there for podiums just want to have as much fun as possible now the Anthem is better spec'd will this be a loss on my part? I find the anthem a bit too sketchy around Giba on certain downhills when going at speed rode a anthem and it's a breeze down the same sections but then climbing it's the opposite effect I'm really stuck please any advice would be appreciated
  11. I would also be careful about saying the people on here are "just cyclists" there are prob people on here that have a exam pad full of qualifications just saying
  12. Seriously this is a cycling forum I asked about a bike that's it the litie wants to race on his own behalf no one is forcing him he has been racing mx since he was 5 kids at schools have races as early as 6 what is the difference? You can compete and have fun at the same time it's how you go about it and the way you bring your child up. thanks again I have made a decision and gone with the momsen jsl 60 he loves it and feels he can compete at the next level ???? Will be taking on Phillip and the boys from Scott in no time
  13. Look if you don't want your child to be competitive that's your choice we have a very sporty family and know all to well that if you don't start young your chances of getting somewhere are slim in today's time for example Marc Marquez was winning racing series for mx at the age of five and if you don't know him he is a 4times Moto gp champion today we as a family support each other and I will be buying the bicycle for him another thing is what do you buy for R6000 new today lets be honest What is more ridiculous to me then a 8year old racing is people buying 100k plus bikes I can buy a brand new car for that I bought a brand new enduro Moto bike for less then that but that's their choice at the end of the day not mine so once again thank you to the people that responded to the original post all the information has been helpful
