Thanks. Decided on the Flux S. Getting it at R9800 and fetching tomorrow. See you on Zwift

Please confirm how long you have it and roughly how many KMs. Tx

Thanks. Is maintenance generally required within the warranty period?

Thanks. Great reviews online as well.

Thanks. Bikaddict has got the H3 for 12999. Will also wait till end of month if any BF specials.

Wahoo Kickr 3 is just under 20k so out of my budget. The classifieds have plenty of Wahoo for sale thats in my budget but they are gen1 and gen2. Lots of issues on the web around grinding noise on flywheel. Seems to be bearings.

Hey. I need to get more on the bike during the week so decided to get an indoor trainer. Only looking for direct drive. Budget is about 10k. Brand new around my budget is the TACX Flux S or I can spend a little more and choose between SARIS H3 or Tacx Flux 2. Can't afford the Wahoo range. Which one is more reliable? I don't race but do over 50Km rides with some decent gradients. I live in a house and will set this up in my patio so noise isn't really a concern. It's more the reliability and after sales support I'm interested. Thanks.

Hi. Recently did a bike fit and the Kappa ProLogo seat is narrow. I also find it very hard. So during my rides I tend to lift my rear alot as I'm not comfortable. He recommends getting 155mm x 255mm with a lip in the back to help with posture. I ride around 50km and plan to do more but need the comfort. . Budget is around 1k.

Hey. Joined their group. Most of the members are not in GP and some out of SA. Managed to find a Strava route from Cradle to Sterkfontein. Did 53km.thanks. On to the next one now

Couldn't afford a new dual sus or even anything over 20k.managed to pick up a 2015 Merida dual sus with top components for 12k. A little tlc and it's now my best mate

Hi. I currently ride solo around 40 km every weekend and now want to push a bit more mileage. Would love to do a 50+ on my next trip. I live in Midrand and normally ride from Vorna Valley to Beaulieu, loop around Riversands and then head back. This is my regular route but i want to mix things up a bit.Im an average rider doing about 13km on dirt. I have been to many parks so not interested in that. I'm willing to ride towards Centurion or similar if there is a route. Prefer to be off the tar mostly. Also thinking of heading to Cradle and then riding to Sterkfontein caves and back which i believe is 50? Any recommendations is appreciated. Thanks

So had the 2 swopped around. The Forekaster is a great tyre. Eats up mud easily and offers plenty of grip. Miles ahead of the Ardent. Also rolls decently. Rekon race is decent for the rear but next time I would rather go with Forekaster rear as well. The grip on this tyre is superb.

Thanks might consider doing this.

So I went with Rekon Race on the front and Forekaster rear. Both 2.35.

Its a dual sus. I'm about 79kg. Yes my riding position could be wrong that is contributing to the washing out. Just been to Dunkeld cycles and they advise I should get Ardents front and Ikons rear. Was considering 2.4 all round but might just go 2.25 to have more speed.

Hi All. Read this thread and still can't make my mind up which tyres to get. Just bought my first 29 dual sus and it comes with Mavic cross road rims(I think I can go 2.4) It's tubeless ready but has not been setup before. My riding style is technical and i love single tracks. I prefer not to ride on the tar however I can't avoid that when riding in the neighborhood. I am no race snake but plan to do some events later in life. I have narrowed it down to Maxxis Ikon, Rekon and Forrester. My previous bike had Ardent race exo(2.4)which I used to get a lot of punctures and was washing out in the front. Also looking at Schwalbes racing Ralph's and Nobby nics. It's selling for R700 at Sportsmans Warehouse but I think it's the non exo ones, not sure. Tyres are bloody expensive so want to make the right decision. Please help. Tx

Hi ChuCke3. Thanks so much for your reply. I definitely don't ride as much as u but want to do Sani2C in the near future at least. How did the Manitou fork behave? My hard tail had the Rockshox Gold TK. Will def consider upgrading the rims.

Hi. Just sold my hard tail and now looking for a full suspension. I came across a 2014 Merida BNN 1000 at a great price and looks in mint condition. It comes with Slx components and fox rear shock. The fork is a Manitou comp which has great reviews. My one worry is that it's a sealed bottom bracket. What's the process when it's time for service/replacement. Has anyone owned this to give me their feedback? Will the fork allow me to install 2.4 tyres? What else should I look at? Specs below.. https://www.merida.nl/mountainbike/big-ninety-nine-1000/2014/ Thanks in advance.

Almost crossed this bridge on my first trip to VG,then I saw the water bubbling [emoji33]
