NEWLANDS FOREST UNDERPASS - SAT 14 JAN
"A woman has just reported that two men with a gun tried to take her phone at the tunnel at the forest – parking lot side. It seems to have happened within the last few minutes. No more info available yet but authorities have been called."

Yes, they are. Nice and wide internal diameter. I've used them for XC, Joberg2C, trail riding and they work great. I have been to their business premises in Cape Town and they are legit. They even rebuilt a wheel for me at a great price, when i purchased a new fork.
See specs below.
Can vouch for naturehike's service and their honouring of a warranty - they replaced a bag that broke a clip without quibbling (and paid for the postage to and fro).
Been using various maxxis tyres for a while and have no problems to report. Current set (rekon race R; F aspen) have done over a 1000kms over rough terrain without a puncture.
Previous rear didn't last long but that due to user error (under inflated over rough terrain).
I've stopped here after riding in Tokai. Friendly peeps and the shop stocks some nice kit and gear, as well as a good variety of snacks / stuff to eat.
Definitely need to try out the track next.
Forekaster is definitely worth a try, especially if you ride in the Gauteng / sand or loose over hardpack. That is if you can find one. I was lucky to find an ardent 2.4 at olympic in CPT, as all the forekasters were sold out but they are available online from CWC/Cyclelab at a good price.
Ardent or Forekaster on the front (negligible increase in rolling resistance and fantastic grip on loose over hardpack) - nice sideknobs for leaning into the twisties.
Rekon Race or Ardent Race on the rear
You are right, of course, we are all shaped differently. I was irritated because I engaged with them regarding the sizing (before and after) and their attitude was " it will stretch to fit".
Vye baggy mtb shorts are AWESOME *****stars.
The bibs, however, are very SHORT in the torso and mine are too tight to wear. I am an XL, even in italian "race fit" and never had a problem with sizing, EXCEPT for vye.
it's sad that "its" is repeatedly spelled as "its'". itsdeterminer UK /ɪts/ US /ɪts/ A1belonging to or relating to something that has already been mentioned:The dog hurt its paw.Their house has its own swimming pool.The company increased its profits.I prefer the second option - its advantages are simplicity and cheapnesshttps://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/itsPedant of the day, thanks.
All sports are struggling big time - USA Rugby just filed for Chapter 11. Premiership rugby cut wages 25% across the board. Barcelona FA players agreed to huge wage cut. All Blacks training staff have taken pay cut. Aussie Rules players agreed big (50%) wage cut. Read somewhere about a charity appeal for lower-ranked tennis players. The list goes on and on and on...
http://buffelsdriftmtb.co.za/ Quite a drive out there but definitely worth it for the regular trails. The enduro lines look HECTIC, ie unrideable on an XC bike. FYI, it gets HOT in the summer.
Yip, Spez SA didn't even bother to import the new Fuse (trail HT 29er). I suspect the dealers are still trying to shift the previous 27.5 fattie models that were imported in 2015/6...
Look, if the gods of cricket were in any way fair: WE SHOULD WIN THE FLIPPING TOSS Elgar due a big innings Faf due a 50 Bavuma in good form Rassie looking ok QdK always a dangerman Between them they should be able to rack up 300+. Then the question is whether we can bowl the Poms out in the absence of Rababa - maybe Hendricks can do it?
