Great set of wheels but R6k sounds too much.

? That is definitely my next bike

I think it's pretty good actually. "Vince" sounds very knowledgeable about the trails in Jhb - perhaps he is also a MTB'er in his leisure time...

Good question. I'd like to add - What are the main differences between the C and SL that make the SL's lighter and more expensive?

Count me in that group - just the once though

Daylight savings is an absolute no-brainer! It works everywhere else in the world and (despite all the anti-African sentiments) will work here too.

Definitely go tubeless. I had a flat - big spike through my front tyre - recently at the Bundu Bash. The hole was too big to seal with just the sealant so put in a plug, spun the wheel and inflated with a bomb - good as new and fixed in about 2 minutes. For the record I have XT wheels and Nobby Nic tyres with Stans sealant.

Wouldn't it be great if someone designed a neoprene "condom" that would fit around the bike when being transported? I've only had my bike for 6 months but there is rubbing / wear on the frame and top of the fork - very irritating!

Holy - you're not alone...

No movement at all in mine.

You really need to relax! It's a forum - that's the whole point.
