  1. Anyone have any info on these trails. I know what I've found online, but all trails look like blue or green. Aparently some new trails since Dec 2022. So... Any good red/enduro style trails. I'm heading there tomo as in the area, but if not worth it I'll head to the concordia/simola trails in Knysna. Hitting witfontein on Thursday which I know are great. Thanks for any info
  2. Thanks all, I have forwarded all the info to him so he has a better idea of what he's in for.
  3. Hey MTBRIDER, thanks for that. Yeah I'm thinking hardtail would be best suited. I think he lives at De Hoop Nature reserve, so prob jeep tracks. Probably his first bikes in many years. I don't think he would have the bike knoweledge to spec up a bike, so ideally looking for a specific bike capable of carrying a 150kg person.
  4. A family member wants to start riding, I'm guessing mostly xc type. I've been riding for years, but know nothing in this bike category... So anyone out there know of a specific hard tail or full suss around the 20k mark? XL or XXL i think he's 2m and 150kg (from gyming, not from doughnuts) Any help much appreciated.
  5. Great initiative! I've got some parts for you. Will give you a shout today.
  6. You can gun it! Some sneaky little natural 'jumps' on the trail edges for some fun mini-whips.
  7. Let us know if they do - always good to have a spare!
  8. Oh shite! that isnt good- whats your plan then? - I actually asked YT if I could get Hope hubs to replace them before purchasing- as the demo bike i had for a week- also f***ked up with similar issues. I think its best I get hold of them before the hub dies on me.
  9. Anyone else with the stock E-thirteen rear hub (on the Capra) that seems to have too much resistance? Even if i remove the wheel and spin it, the hub just seems tight- other bikes would spin for a good while- but not this one- and only 6 months old, but think it was like this from the start. Also- where can I get hold of torque caps- which can be used for the Lyrik?
  10. they are just stickers.... but I'm sure they will make my bike faster
  11. well, it works out to just over R500 including postage, so was just hoping I could find it cheaper here.
  12. Anyone know where I can pick up some E-Thirteen TRS+ rim decals to match my Yellow Capra. I see they are easily available abroad for approx 20 quid- but I cant seem to find locally. any help greatly appreciated.
  13. +1 ...and call me Phillip.
  14. any idea what the elevation is for the 54km?
  15. Also doing the 54km.... first time though. Never ridden in Joburg before, so thought it would be good for a giggle.
