    Short and sweet answer. I bought a Ht frame and it is is awesome after a year of abuse its still rocking., no issues with customs and tax. Contact Vivian at Hong Fu. or spend the next ten years reading the above mentioned thread.

    "he only downer on the Stumpy would be the Fox fork up front, which I hat with all I have in me. I sold my Fox after two recalls and am now sporting a 140mm X-Fusion Trace. My bike feels like a different machine now!" Is the Fox really that crap??

    Im heading to Ile Maurice in June and was wondering if there are nice MTB trails to do on the island. Is it worth taking my bike along or should i just go and wallow like a hippo for 10 days?

    I was looking at the Spez Stumpy and the Pyga. 110 . I rode both of them and when i left the shop i became the proud owner of a Spez Camber CArbon Comp. It just felt perfect. I got it for R38k. It climbs brilliantly and i added a dropper post and now i descend like evil kneivel on roids. Its a brilliant do it all bike.

    You same height as me iride 29er hard tail and DS but from your riding (jonkerhoek etc) i reckon a Trance 27.5 would be nice for you and suit you otherwise hop on a SPez Camber 29er and see what that feels like.

    I cant keep up with all these claims anymore, wake up today protein bad, tmrw carbs good, monday fat the way to go, tuesday carbs suck, wednesday protein is the future. FFS just eat a little bit of everything and stop this madness.

    Santana

    Stevief posted a topic in The Bike Room

    Went to the show last night, what a privilege to witness a true a legend, i have been to nearly every rock band on earth but i have never ever heard anybody play guitar like Carlos Santana. He is on another level. Brilliant show and big up to his percussionists and band they were simply masters of their craft. If anyone is thinking of going do yourselves a favour and go to this gig a tru masterclass

    Dude from listening to your story , i would suggest the following. Line up on race day and just enjoy the fact that you out there with your bike about to cycle around the best route on earth . Your time is irrelevant, enjoy the moment live the experience. Nobody cares if you do a sub 3 ,4 ,5, 6 ,, it all boils down to the experience YOU had. Think how lucky you are (we all are) that we have our health to ride , this whole time thing around teh Argus really spoils the race for most people and they dont realise it. The Argus is such a special event ones time should be the least of our concerns.

    Argus MTB

    Stevief replied to FCH's topic in Events

    1200 people on a singletrack route = Bottlenecks galore, ill have Jonkershoek al lto meself ripping the ST up with nobody in sight.

    I agree withe the Op 100%. During the Argus i nearly got into a fist fight after i confronted an idiot who littered during the race. People who litter are pigs and should be named and shamed. There is no defence and they have not a leg to stand on. Most litterbugs who cycle in races are well off, informed individuals that know what they doing is wrong. They are just so self absorbed in their own ego to actually care about anything but themselves. If they belong to a club name and shame the club. A public forum like the hub is brilliant for exposing these idiots. To all that sit and try defend these morons STFU.

    Isnt Tallboy technology old? I am also looking for a nice carbon DS trail frame and was advised that the TAllboy is a bit old tech. I would love a Camber Comp Spez but they dont sell frames only complete bikes. Giant is the best bang for buck but i find the design boring but its a very good bike.

    Just got back from my usual normal ride around signal hill and table mtn. I also saw the signs R500 for MTB on the trails. Ive been riding these trails for 12 years now and encounter all sorts on the mtn. I cannot understand how certain people can use it and certain people cannot. I run/walk my dogs and ride my bike on the trails its very sad that these bueracratic rules can be enforced to prosecute people enjoying the outdoors, whilst criminals still roam these same trails and are not dealt with in any way. If anything MTBers actually keep the Mtn safer for the other folk.

    They replaced the rear triangle with no quibbles so at least that was good from Pyga but still you would think a Pyga would be bombproof
  21. Stevief
    Just goes to show it really isnt about the bike
  22. Stevief
    Rode tokai on sat , the new singletrack trails "mamba?" and a few more were freaking awesome. Big up to the trailbuilders, you dudes are legends.
  23. Stevief
    To be honest sounds like the bike wasnt so great considering what its built for? A bit top heavy on downhills, bit sluggish, and not much fun.
  24. Stevief
    I would go trance and you have an extra 10 for a dropper and awesome wheelset.
  25. Stevief
    Ok seems like Pyga is the way to go then
