any other suggestions

great, thanks guys!

hi, a friend and i are doing a 5 day tour from Majtiesfontein to Cape Town in December. we've done the route before but headed toward Napier and then Hermanus last time. we're thinking of going from Greyton to Franshchoek, Stellies, Muizenburg and then CT. Does anyone have some ideas for routes between Greyton, Franschoek, Stellies and Somerset West? we're looking for offroad with little traffic, some single track if possible as we'll have backpacks but no tents or anthing like that. I've checked Google maps for the main sort of routes but i'm sure there are areas we can cycle through that Google isn't showing. any advice or comments most welcome!! shot

there's also a coffee shop near the polo club that you can park at and go for a ride. i'm sorry but the name of it escapes me! they will be able to let you know more info. also, put a post up in Aug when you go and maybe some of us can join. enjoy cos its some AWESOME riding!

bad races with bad planning causes congestion. single track is what makes all the hard work of climbing hills and long dirt roads worth it. i love both, but to throw either out completely is a little anti-mtbiking. to be honest i haven't experienced too much congestion with the single track on the races i've done. i know the 10 or 19k riders can get in the way but then just ask them to move over. politely. but you are entitled to one rant a week, i'd give it a 8.1/10!

good thing i am not jealous! hope you enjoy it! adogshow2010-05-18 03:00:41

ZULA!!! well flippen done for being someone who has these "problems"!

saaaaafffffff! that is unbelievable!! new meaning to hand brake (sure that comment's been made!) but least now he knows, you feather that front break, don't flippen grab it! eish

i agree. it looks way off proportion...pity they had to tie the brake line with cable ties. silly thing but it bugs me to have to do that....

with milk? do you take sugar? no milk.... and one sugar for love only one? well i'm sure there's plenty tea makes here that would be happy to help you with plenty of sugar

with milk? do you take sugar?

shot! that helps

i see, i have hardtail with LX shifters, XT front derailer. still figuring out what RD to get, XT long or short cage. the crankset is a deore m443, cassette is a mid range shimano hyperglyde. i'll try and workout the cog difference, but off hand any ideas of which i need to go for?

ok, thats helpful. thanks!

so when must i use a long cage or a short cage? (ie what setup on my bike goes with which?)

so a new chain is needed? seems pretty extreme. maybe ask your supplier/LBS about it. they might have had other peeps with the same problem?

congrats! she's a cutie!!

Top Drawer is what it is. Dude wrecked a car - wif hiz bear hanz! Move over chuck. nor was he killed very instantly...i dunno maybe its one of those latent accidents. like eating a knife, it only kills you later. like in the morning...

great to hear! nice idea, maybe for the rest of the country to follow

oh no! thats insane bad luck! hope you're mate isn't too peeved...

ya things like that are no prob, just don't leave em on the trail for instance...

haha! sometimes you need to unleash the fury. i get the same on the FLIPPEN roads in Natal. okes just chuck their trash out of their cars. saw a bag of KFC hauled out a drivers window once

beside the exessive use of the Caps Lock....very true! glad you didn't name and shame the person involved cos they alone don't represent a whole race.
