Cool. I suppose it is something you need to feel then. I've never understood the appeal of carbon, but I suppose there must be something...

Interesting... What wheels did you have previously(same weight)? And you running the exact same tires?

Awesome... I wonder if they will cater for 27.5

On my 27.5 Trance with 30mm ID rims, I've got a 2.6 Eliminator on the front. It measures about 2.5. Pretty happy with it. Got a 2.3 Aggressor on the rear... grips pretty well, but feels slow. Any suggestions for something that rolls a bit faster? Previous bike had Nobby Nics which rolled fast but didn't grip.

I also miss the comments for ads... I found it very useful. People often make mistakes in their ads, like the wrong year model. Using a PM, they normally don't change the ad, and just ignore.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. I love the Wild Boar Trails from VDC, but they can get quite muddy after rain - although it is still great fun, I wouldn't want to damage the trails. Is the Scout Trail a better option in the wet? I'm happy to support them with the trail fee.

Nice, might give it a try this weekend. I have just confirmed that this specific trail (Hawekwas Scout Adventure Centre Loop) is not free for Tygerberg members. Anyone know if the Hawekwas Scout trail drains well, or if it will be super muddy after recent rains?

Apparently the route is tough. Several climbs are technical and tiring. A friend was joking that the 700m of climbing felt like 1700m! He signed up for the 63km but ended doing the 37km. Edit: Sorry I see you've done it before...

Sorry, a bit late. We were riding Porcupine slowly (with friends of various fitness levels). Our moving time was 2h30. Porcupine is just an extension of Hedgehog. So you can turn off at the end of the Hedgehog (after a leisurely 1h30), or continue for the reset of Porcupine.

Yep, it's open.

I love the fox ranger cargo (12"). They are an older model, so I searched online to find the exact same recently to replace.

Awesome! Gonna do my best to join!

Rode the Porcupine route last Saturday ~27km and 900m of climbing. Really enjoyed it! Will definitely be back - such a bonus that it is open to Tygerberg MTB club members Stunning scenery and the pizzas and beers were great! We rode at 10 am - the trail centre was closed. Tried to sign in, but the book was too wet (due to rain).

Congrats!
