  1. There are the Clovita ride every Wednesday morning from Woodstock head office at 6am. You will find like minded riders there. They closed till next year January.
  2. I had or still have one. Selling it now. I loved this bike very much for 6 years. I have done the Cycle Tour in 4 hours on it, ride Table Mountain trails every week and jumped some big jumps. I have done xc and enduro races on this bike. Just got new tyres on a special. This bike is a very comfortable ride. A bit slow uphill but very fast down hill. The fatter tyres grip everything and the 29er tyres roll over everything. Lots of stability. I am parting to get a gravel bike I like more.

  5. Getting new tyres next month. These must last till then.
  6. Hi. I have been riding with the white branded Maxxis IKON tyres tubeless for a couple of rides now. With all the washed out jeep tracks in Tokai and Table Mountain after the rains the tyres have served me extremy well. Smooth trails at the wine farms they proven fantastic. I found when pumped to hard they don't grip. I weigh 84kg with the back pumped 1.8bar and Front 1.6bar I have so much grip on this setup. Very impressed. I had lots of side scrapes with the sharp exposed rocks with no issues. I'll ride these till I get problems if any. Thanks for all the positive input... Happy with STD new bike tyres
  7. Thank you for all the post. Helped me allot as the tyres I want is still expensive. Waiting for special
  8. Hi I got a brand new wheelset with Maxxis ICON tyres on. These tyres were converted to tubeless. Chap said who I bought it from, these wheels came with his new bike, but he got new wheels fitted when purchased. (When I purchased my new bike 2016 with same tyres on the bicycle shop changed tyres to new tubeless tyres . The Maxxis ICON tyres that was on this bike is still on my wifes bike WITH TUBES.) Question: (Maxxis ICON tyres with white writing and no sign TR, just "MAXXIS ICON" ....Should I be worried to try these tyres tubeless on the mountain. I have spare tubeless tyres I can fit or should the MAXXIS ICON tyres be good to ride tubeless as is. I hope someone can clarify this. I see all the Maxxix ICON tyres at Bike shops have a range of different markings on and the tyre name "MAXXIS ICON" is yellow.. I would not mind fitting Maxxis Aggressor tyre upfront. when I have more bucks.
  9. There is some single tracks along the farms in Citrusdal. You can ask for direction at info office. One ride I done was a long climb on the road then turned left onto a long gravel road threw farms till I got a gate sign posted "The Snake House" there you rurn left. Fast slippery loose stone single track down threw some soft sand bits and farm roads. I just rode every possible trail that looked like a Mtb trail. Was fun. Check for the dogs on the farms. Some of them are not so friendly.
