    Magalies Monster

    hydrobum posted a topic in Events

    How difficult is the Magalies Monster? Keen on the 65km with my mate. We normally ride around Bealieu/Riversands/Northern Farms so haven't done anything really technical so wondering if 65km will be too much to bite off. Climbing 6km will be ok but slow as we not planning to win Thanks!

    Manuel Gonsalves +27825545869 He's out in Germiston making all these Nestle ice cream tricycles. I have done my good deed for the day. Good luck.

    Hi all. I'm Dennis from Midrand. Have temporarily given up social golf for social mb. The more I read about riding, the more I'm dreading the wife will find out I will be spending even more time away from kiddie duty then golf has! Wish me luck....or till I find my wife a bike to join me! LOL!!!

    Got a new pair of shoes and it's numbing my left middle toe. I'm a newbie so first time with cleat shoes and went out riding for 19km. Is my shoes too tight or shoes just needs to wear in?

    I was looking at the Vipa AC and Epic Comp for my 1st bike too. Went with Epic and quite happy with it. Just got fitted at CycleLabs and had to drop a new longer stem! Gotta say the Epic bikes just looks sleek

    Yip, the 920xt would be overkill for now but nice to have Since giving up golf in the short term, seems to have spent more! Lol

    Just starting out so need to get feel for this new sport. Already went over budget on bike and gear now so need to let my money tree grow abit more. Thanks for input!

    Rookie here...I see there's some nice apps out for iOS & andriod. Would these be better then buying a dedicated garmin 810 or 920xt? Since most people will still have a phone with them when riding, I thought one less gadget would help lessen the bank balance too

    That's why I rather stick to trials and not the open road. Take my chances with the deer than a car.

    Am in the same shoes on selection.....but decided not to get a sexy bib

    LOL SAGecko! We got 37km in Waterfall Estate so that's plenty enough riding in the morning. Got 2 young ones at home so have basically given up golfing. So want to get something nice that I don't need to upgrade in future. Very tempting to jump on a used classified bike as most of them on sale are sweet bikes!

    Yeah, the carbon triangle didn't quiet make sense to me either. Anyway, would the Titan Pro bike good bike to buy. Got Shimano XT fitted on them. Was comparing this over the momsen AL429 which is slighter lower spec. At about the same price range ~R17k. The Titan carbon pro is a hard tail going to R25k which will be cheaper than the Vipa ac. So wondering is it worth the upgrade over the alu Titan pro bike. Tough decisions on what to buy! Will take a look at the Anthems.
  23. hydrobum
    Damn...just found out servicing a soft tail is quiet a few times more than a hardtail! This now pushes me to a hardtail bike rather!
  24. hydrobum
    Super. Thanks for the input. Do you guys think there's better bikes at this price range? I find as a newbie, am stumped for options. As for the 5 year warranty on the bike compared to other brands, should I be worried?
  25. hydrobum
    If it is was Mr Victor himself, then of course I would say price is too low ????.
