  1. Hi there, looking for some advice on trails around the Malmesbury, Riebeeck area. Going there over the weekend and thinking about taking the bikes with. Are there any trails? Where to start? Is it just farm roads or are there some features, single track? Thanks much appreciated 👍🏼
  2. Yesterday I had such a laugh at Bloemendal. The one table had all the "serious" cyclist thin, lycra wearing guys looking serious drinking espressos (I guess) and the table next to them the complete opposite with their e-bikes. It just looked like the big guys where having more fun.
  3. When I decided to fit a internal dropper on my Scale some strong words where used like eskom, zuma and diesel. So I got that for when ever I needed to change cable housing or brake hose. I also have stripped cable housing for the inner part. When ever I need to change a cable I just slide that over till it comes out the other end, remove the cable and stick in the new one. I love working on bikes but I don't like to sukkel 😁
  4. Jy kry iets wat die 2 aan mekaar connect wat die lewe baie makliker maak. Ek sal 'n draai kom maak 😁
  5. If I had to buy a e-bike now it would be Orbea for looks or Trek.
  6. Nee man close this topic, julle gaan maak dat ek eerder ballet op vat as 'n sport en julle gaan die mense se sielkundige kostes betaal 🤣
  7. I don't notice any difference in my Smurf with or without bikes. Might be because they go inside 😁 What I do notice, if I drive a little different that has a bigger affect. Driving like I cycle helps too fast down hills slowly up. Meaning don't mash your foot to the floor to get over every hill. My car uses more fuel on cruise control than me in control. Also obviously if something is on the outside the faster you go the more resistance it will have.
  8. @ChrisF dink jy sal hier bietjie lig kan skyn 👍🏼
  9. Lekker lekker @MORNE ek like daai groen plaas hek van jou 👌🏻 @ChrisFlyk my ek mis jou elke slag op die trails jy seker net te vinnig vir my 😁 My maatjies het swaar gekry vandag nou weet ek ook hoe dit voel om te wag en lekker uit gerus te wees 🤣
  10. Ek het dit ook gehoor by my LBS so of dis goed of ons het die selfde LBS 😂
  11. How to make road races more attractive, Let it take a turn onto a dirt road and add some good single track to really let the people have fun 🤣 Disclaimer : don't know anything about road cycling, petrol is not that expensive and the people cycling on the road are really moody and want the whole road probably because they want to swerve around the little stone because the bike causes too much pain riding over anything 🤣
  12. You have the wrong girlfriend/wife/management 🤣 I just get asked to move some of my bikes out the "gym" room when she wants to train 😁
  13. The Hills challenge yesterday close to Montagu. After a hard Friday night we were only able to open the taps around 30kms just to have a tyre cut close to the end. Luckily a bit of words and some plugs boet could ride it to the finish 👌🏻all part of the game. We were probably the only ones who felt better the further we went 🤣
  14. Die toe maak is maklik 😁
  15. R150 at Evo bikes. Some links comes off easily and some are a real pain in the behind. But now I have it I will probably not need to remove a chain for a while 🤣
  16. Something so simple yet makes life so much easier 😁
  17. Why do so many people recommend a dual suspension as a first bike? Reasons not too If you are on a budget maintenance is way more expensive especially buying used. You don't learn important basics because you're leaving it to the bike to "help" you. Just starting chances are you're not that fit and HT climbs easier. Properly set up HT will be more comfortable than an incorrectly set up dual, as buying new they will probably throw in a basic set up. And lastly its comforting to know that you have at least a year warranty on everything.
  18. That's interesting that the Sido would fit the Sesta. How has it affected the geometry and feel?
  19. Lekker mini road trip for my nephews first mtb event. The Java never disappoints its been a while since I have done it but always fun.
  20. New pedals and shoes I like the color combo thinking about a custom paint job similar to this RC 😁 my fiets ry so lekker dit moet 'n pink stukkie hê 🤣🤣
  21. K2C breakaway weekend. Koek vir breakfast waar hul sê hulle krag lê in hul koek 🤣 We couldn't decide on which one so had a slice of each 👌🏻 For the first time ever I was in front and could take pictures of boet suffering up the hills 🤣
  22. Daai is so groot ek sal my seat op die bottel cage moet vas maak en binne die frame ry 🤣
  23. Wat n lekker dag op die trails! Started with Meerendal and breakfast, Conties and beer, unfortunately Hoogies didn't have beer but the trails make up for it and after Fair Cape we stopped for donuts. Black Rhino is running great 👌🏻 Hoogies hammer is probably my favorite at the moment, just the speed and air you get down there with minimal pedalling closest I come to that e-bike feeling 👀😏
  24. The large is probably a nice bike that's why he enjoys riding it. A that length a large is out soos koekies in 'n weeshuis.
