where do I get Craigs videos? I looked at his channel and did not see new content

I think the Epic is a good idea taken too far. Riding in this kind of heat is frankly ridiculous for amateur or recreational riders. Those little tents in the middle of nowhere with no shade is just beyond comprehension. Dont really understand what the organisers were thinking.

What about a Trek Top Fuel instead?

I have a 2016 base Camber. I upgraded it to SRAM GC drivetrain 1x12 and Shimano SLX brakes (from old Tektro). Also added a dropper. So pretty decent except for frame (aluminum) and suspension (recon). The new Evo has a carbon frame, slightly better suspension (RS Reba instead of Recon) but worse brakes (SRAM Level 2 pot). Do you think a new bike would be worth it? Doing about 3-4 hrs over weekends in Stb/Winelands region.

Thanks everyone!!

Theyre not padded 😢

I'm struggling a bit to find decent range and quality of cycling gear. I have never worn these bibs so not sure about them. I have a specialised mountain bike shorts with internal padding which I love but this seems to have fallen out of favour. Where can I get decent padded inners then? I'm a bit chunky so typically need 2XL. And tops? I dont dig these skin tight tops. Where can I get something that is a bit more appropriate for older gents?

Thanks everyone- very useful feedback. I think I will just poach my wife’s old iPhone and get a bicycle mount

Hi - I need something to help me follow a Strava route without having to dig out my phone the whole time. I dont want to put the phone on a handlebar mount. So was wondering if the Edge 130 can do this? Thanks!

120mm - might be easier to replace the front. The rear is a custom shock which limits my choices

It is a 120mm RS Recon Silver - it does feel very bouncy on rocky/bouldery tracks

I have a aluminum Spez Camber with Rockshox suspension. Thinking about upgrading the suspension but not sure if a weekend warrior like me will notice the difference? I do mostly trail riding around Stellenbosch.
