    Drop the rear tyre pressure a bit. That makes a huge difference on a hard tail. Also helps with grip in the technical stuff. Just my 2c worth, it is what I do. Cheers
  3. Hi Guys I went for a ride yesterday on the Welvanpas Trail with some mates. Welvanpas is just outside Wellington. I thought that there may be people out there in Cape Town that want to see new places. This trail has been around for a while but it has been changed and increased and inproved since the last time we were there. The trail is awesome and technical for those of you that need a bit of a change from Tokai, you will love it. There are three loops, 14km, 17km and 29km. Don't be fooled and think short is easy though. Most of the route is single track, so be aware! It is well sign posted and a good work out. I have attached the 29km loop's with elivation from my Garmin with 924m climbing. Cost is R30 per rider and is well worth it! To the guys that put it together, well done! We loved the ride and the scenic ride. Support the trail and have fun!
  4. Or just don't use your brakes, they will stay cool for ages then, for when you really need them?
  5. Watched it last night. This race makes the Epic look like a milk run. They do 2400km's I think, Pietermartzbur to Paarl in two weeks almost 100km's per day average.http://www.freedomchallenge.org.za/ it is INSANE!!
  6. What this idiot does not understand is that the roads belong to the people that own them and pay for them, the cyclests are those people too. What an oppinionated right a$$h0le!!Miserable little whimp that needs to experience life. There is more to life than sitting and writting crap for some unknown virtual newspaper. Respond to that a$$hole!!
  7. Hi BGS, The reason you probably almost got nocked over is because in MTBing you ride on the left so faster riders can pass you on the right. Very important and simple rule. More people need to consider other people on the trail. I'm by no means a pro but it is *&%^&% irritating if guys who are slow ride on the right hand side of the trail.
  8. Hi own a second hand Cube LTD for a year and it has been top. She has been dealt some tough conditions and just keeps going with out a hassle, downhill and cross country. I have also noticed that the new Cubes have some nice components too and are good value for money. Google them and you will not find not a bad word on Cube. Sorry to the Merida supporters. Cheers and good luck!
  9. You can get a tubeless valves from your LBS. I think they are about R90.00 each.
  10. I have done this conversion myself but used insulation tape. If you use tubeless tyres, you cannot go wrong. Oh, and you definately need to stick to Stans!
  11. New cycle lane @ Otto du Plessis works like a bomb, only short comming is the strech where the lamp posts are in the lane. Otherwise it is fantastic.
  12. No, Guys. There must be some unanswered questions, like how much does it weigh? Or does it work better on road or MTB? Pass the butter please!
  13. Pop Corn is out and watching the show Please pass the salt!
  14. I think this letter is perfect, hope that instead of Grumpy, happy arrives. That way the wife and the dog are also happy. We all know what that means..... cheers Johan.
