Riding for Animals (Team NSPCA) in Momentum947 Cycle Challenge 2015

Hi Guys As most of you would know, the idea behind the Momentum 947 Cycle Challenge is to raise funds for charities and other great causes. This year I opted to join Team NSPCA in support of the National Council of the SPCA and its bid to #RideForAnimals. If you would like to show your support by donating directly to the NSPCA's cause, you are welcome to do so through the following link, https://www.backabuddy.co.za/champion/project/stey..., or by simply sms'ing 947-39 to 38018. Thanks for your support!!! If you are riding for a charity in this years M947CC, Kudos to you!!!

I want to get into MTB'ing

Thanks for the advice everyone. I will keep looking, but honestly, I am not spending 50k @Redlight. @Ruan, the advert was removed, so someone jumped before I could see it. Ai... I will consider a second-hand, as allot of people keep suggesting. But getting a bike someone else already tortured just doesn't always sound like a good buy... I'll keep looking and keep you guys updated. and post pics and Qs here if I see something. Regards

Well guys, after driving around a bit today, I found a cycle I quite like. It seems to be fine for what I want to do for now. Its a Trek 3 Series (3700), with the follwing: 24speed Mechanical discs 21" frame 26er wheels SR suntours shocks Shm Altus components I know its quite basic, but it falls well within my budget at R3900. Just before I decide, I thought I'd get some thoughts from you all. Regards

In your point on the helmet... I already have the kit, including the helmet!!!! Now I just need to figure out which cycle to get. I am not too keen on clip-in's yet, I use to ride with them in my earlier road-cycling days and properly went down a few times, due to not getting my feet out in time. I will rather ride with 'normal' pedals and shoos for a while. Thanks!

Hi Guys I'm looking at starting out in the MTB sport. However, I do not want to spend too much on my first bike, as I am not sure if I'm going to like it or take it too seriously with events. My budger for a bike is AT MOST R6k. I don't really want to buy a second-hand cycle. I Googled a bit, and found several bikes within my budget: AXIS A60AXIS A40SILVERBACK STRIDE 10SILVERBACK SPECTRA SPORTTITAN 650B SPORTTITAN CRUZTREK 4700 DISCMOMSEN AL029RAPID PEAK 650B ALLOYRAPID PEAK PRO I'm sure there are other bikes in that range... I went to a local cycle shop, but they kept trying to sell me R10k+ cycles, and I don't like being forced into buying something outside my budget. Also, my wife wants to join me on social rides, but not events, so I am looking at a bike for her as well, but something basic that would not fall apart after 10km. Please could you advise which brands there are and what would be the best buy within my budged. I am 1.85m, and my wife 1.68, I know that will determine the size of the cycles.
