Ion also has comfy shirts and baggies, few shops stock it. Check out brandstable in Cape Town

Mmm I figured it may be too much of a compromise. Cheers

Anyone using one-sided clipless pedals? Funn mambas come to mind(Ones with a proper flat platform in the one side). Thinking they may just be the solution for me to get a foot out in some tight switch backs but keep clipped in most of the time?

Jup could be an interesting comparison. The DW suspension setup is very nice so think the ripley will climb a tad better, my V3 LS also loves to pop off anything (my skills are terible so can imagine a properly skilled rider will do much better) and apparently the V4 takes that to a different level. Very playful bike.

Agree T-Bob, other than how expensive the bike will be I think it’s a great fit for SA riding conditions. Short stem and burly tires for the trail/enduro days and longer stem and lighter tires for long marathon/stage races.

I know!! Man that looks great! Now to start saving up ????.

Awesome looking machine, I've considered replacing my ripley LS V3 for a ripmo but can't help but think it will be tooo much bike. I do the odd XC marathon and long dirt rides (Attakwas, Transbaviaans etc.) so thinking I just need to skill up on the ripley.

I’d gladly join the Ibis tread ????.

Awesome evemts thanks for organizing!

Great fun! Pity about ss2 timing issues, was a great stage. Looking forward to the next one.

So no refreshment stations?

If I can refill once that should cover the thirst.. thank you for the info

Noob to the Enduro world...do I need more than 500ml of water to complete the course? Will there be waterpoints/refreshment stations?
