    I have been involved with road and mountain bike cycling events for the past few years. I have done everything from organizing, marking and managing the water points. I would love to know what people want and expect from events these days.

    Completely new to cycling, so want to start out with a lower budget bike (don't want to invest too much in case I lose interest). Max budget is R7500. Are any of the options below decent, or would it better to go the second hand route?

    Having a look at the mtb races this year to sign up for, having checked the following website, are there any that I might have missed or should have a second look at? Keen on just enjoyable MTB races, like the STBB (holding thumbs they coming back this year), Grabouw MTB, Nissan Trailseeker (wellington), Tiletoria, etc. - https://www.stillwatersports.com/event/ - https://www.pedalpower.org.za/events/ - https://www.dirtopia.co.za/index.php/mtbcalendar - https://www.entryninja.com/events/event - There seems to be good news about some that is coming back for 2019, and some that just seem to have gone missing, and some that have changes in format (ie Grabouw weekend warrior) Who knows of races that might be also worth a look at (already signed up for the Autumn Splendour MTB and considering the Pioneer School race in Worcester).

BXT 29er carbon fork from Aliexpress 5. Seatpost, stem, handlebar 6. RD, cassette, chain (groupset) Still need: 7. Headset ( 1 1/8 to 1.5" , 52mm/42mm) 8. Brakes( front and back) I will update this when parts arrive and as build progresses.

    Bike 1: Silverback Stride 27.5" MD Bike 2: Silverback Stride 29" HD Area, Pretoria. Close to Wolwespruit House broken into on 7 May 2019 Don't have a nice pic of the 29" It's me mum's bike, will see if I can find more info later. Both bikes have gotten 'small' upgrades sometime after these pics were taken: The 29er has Ryder Dual Elite pedals now and should have a tubetubby as well. Can't remember whether the saddlebag was still on. Should also be a red silicone light tied on somewhere. The 27.5 has new platform pedals and a clip under the seat for the saddlebag which they conveniently did not take. There was also a black bell on the handlebars (with paint missing from a fall) and a red silicone light clipped on the right front shock. Maxxis tyre at the front, some other brand on the back since I blew a tyre and tube last month. Hope this might help.

    We are keen to hear what you guys think of Titanium frames and this option through the various disciplines in the SA cycling. We will soon offer Titanium frames and complete bikes from Skyde, a French manufacturer http://www.skydecomp.fr. Your input will help us determine our approach to this market. For your most valued input , we will choose one lucky poster for a prize/product of their choice valued at R500 from www.performancebikes.co.za Winner will be decided at our discretion on 1 March 2015. The prize is not cash redeemable. Below are pictures of a couple of Skyde bikes as well as an interesting chart on the different frame materials and their properties. Please feel free to also post pictures of your own Titanium bikes and the reason Titanium is your choice of frame material. Cheers from the Performance Bikes team!

    I’ve got a set of American Classic MTB Carbonators wheels where I would like to covert the rear wheel to boost. It is at the moment QR. Is it still possible to get the kit, or what can I do to make the wheels work with a Momsen Trail 2018 frameset.

    Has anyone ridden this bicycle before? I am asking more about the new fork and rear shock from Fox that uses the new Live Valve technology. I would love to know what your experience was riding this bicycle with emphasis on the fork and shock. How was the setup, any issues? How was your riding? Did the technology work as expected? I am in 2 minds regarding this bicycle because it is new tech for a bicycle and it looks bulky with regards to the unit and the wiring. Is it worthwhile getting a bike with it now, or rather wait for more iterations of the unit? Here is the link to the bicycle: https://www.giant-bicycles.com/za/bikes-anthem-advanced-pro-29-2019

    Just upgraded to 1x12 with NX cassette 11-50. My reccomendation would be to go with GX 10-50 cassette and GX chain. The NX chain rusts very badly in first week. Found needing small 10 gear on the rear.

    Its time to trade my 10 year old roadie helmet for a proper MTB version and I need some help deciding please. Usage include lots of trail riding, technical and downhill riding. On my short list is: 1. Uvex jakkyl hde, 2. Leatt DBX 3.0 Enduro 3. Bell super 3s 4. Fox Flux 5. Fox Metah 6. Specialised Ambush The options with the removable chin guard is really useful, but would consider a helmet without that. I’m sure all of these brands and models are in the “difference-between-them-is-negligible” category when it comes to the important stuff – which is keeping my pip away from rocks. What is however important for me is: Proper fit which is obviously specific to my kop, and I do have a big kop so I will have to go and fit before buy. Massive airflow. I sweat a lot while riding and a cool head is a must. Have heard some rave about the flow in the Ambush, others complain the Bell is too hot. Some of these also feature a MIPS system, others not. How much of a marketing hype is this MIPS business, or is it vastly better that a traditional system Durability – any issues with any of these models? The adjustment mechanisms, straps, etc etc. Built quality – some helmets feel cheap, others feel expensive – like a car’s interior. Would love to hear your experiences on the above please (or if you have additional suggestions of course)

    Hi I am helping a community centre with a project and am looking for old MTB tubes that they make into belts. Any and all will be appreciated.

    Hi Hubbers I been looking at building up a 29er steely for the local trails. I have come across a Niner MCR9 frame. Want to know your opinions on this frame? Does anyone know if I can run a tapered fork? Whats the geometry like for trail riding/ climbing? Thanks

    Hi guys! I'm very excited, and proud, to introduce Skorsie to you. A few weeks ago I realised that my 2008 Merida 26er was getting long in the tooth, and that I needed something fresh and interesting. Buying a brand new bike that was specced according to my needs (read "wants") was out of the question, as I'm a junior in the advertising industry, and the pay cheque wasn't going to stretch that far. Building Skorsie not only made the whole excursion affordable, but also taught me a great deal about bicycles. The most valuable part was the people I met along the way (I will name them shortly). These guys gave me great deals on mint condition pre-owned stuff, they gave me priceless advice, as well as physical technical help. Thank you to: Renier Hugo for the great deals on the wheels and brakes, as well as your advice and enthusiasm; Wicus (Me rida my bicycle) for the great deal on the fork, and being a great seller; Iwan Kemp for letting me ride your beautiful ST-F (yes, the one with the one-of-a-kind paint job!) as well as all your advice and links to nice things; a very special thank you to Kobus van der Poel (kvdp) from Darling Fietsgoeters who helped me build the bike, reply to my 70 000 Whatsapps, who gave me mountains of advice, and who helped me every step of the way with literally everything, while also having to plan and map the routes for DBX! Janos Plekker from Evo Bikes for sorting me out with odd bits, and the guys from Recycles who did a few final tweaks. Below is a complete list of components for interest sake: Frame: 2018 Momsen ST-R (XL) Fork: 2017 RockShox Recon 100mm Wheels: ALEX MD21 on American Classic hubs Tyres: Maxxis Ardent Race 2.35 (F) Maxxis Icon 2.20 ® Rotors: Avid 160mm Brakes: Shimano BR-M315 Bottom Bracket: Shimano XT Hollowtech Gruppo: Full Shimano SLX 1x11 (32T F & 11-42 R) Chain: KMC Black/Silver Pedals: Shimano XC SPD Handlebars: Momsen Alloy 720 mm x 31.8mm Stem: Momsen Alloy 70mm Seatpost: Momsen Alloy Saddle: Momsen Grips: ESI Chunky Silicone Bottle Cages: Ryder Big Mouth ---------- Feast your eyes on the pictures below!

    Is it just me or is there a lot less mountain biking events by PPA this year? I had a look at https://www.pedalpower.org.za/events/ and was shocked to see there were only 4 (at the time of writing) for this year. Why is that?

    Hi I am looking for riding partners to ride Newlands, Rhodes mem and maybe some of the greenbelt trails before work on a weekday mornings before work. Are there any groups that ride these trails in the morning or people riding I could join? On a separate note is it still possible to group together 4 people to make the SANParks activity permit cheaper?

    Hi guys I'm visiting Cape Town from the UK over Christmas & NY (arrive tomorrow and here until the 2nd Jan) - and bringing my long travel mtb with me. Does anyone know of any group rides in and around Cape Town I could join over the period? Either Table Mountain/Tokai or further afield? I'm reasonably fit and used to riding black trails in Europe - so keen to try the most technical stuff you have. ???? Thanks in advance!! Robin

    Hi hubbers, going down to Ballito this holiday and need to spend some time on the bike. following a training program where the workouts require a certain amount of hours on the bike. my question is: which bike would offer the best riding in terms of safety and route choices: road bike or mtb? I have both and can put in the time on both but can only take one down. i don't have a smart trainer and only local (pta east) gym membership. any other ideas of how to get time in the saddle while on holiday? TIA

    Howzit guys, So my friend and I are planning to go through to Stellenbosch on Saturday to go ride Jonkershoek for the first time. I heard from a few people that it is an amazing track. I am also eager for a new track, so really looking forward to it. Can you guys who have ridden the track please give us advice on what to expect. How long would one ride? How much water will you need? Nutrition? Climbing? Distance? The price of permit? How late does the track open? Any other feedback will be much appreciated as I just want to be prepared for the day. Thanks. ~ André

    Hi, Im just another Noob trying to wrap my head buying my 1st duel suspension bike. I havent ridden off tar since I pointed my camo coloured avalanche 21sp down the wrong side of a non existant Rhodes Memorial track over 20 years ago... (ye, it didnt end well) Im older and wiser and "fuller" these days, and really want to get back out there. Im your average joe, have a mrs, 2 kids under 10, and the usual business commitments, so i'll be a weekend warrior to start out. Ive dug pretty deep into the google, learnt all sorts of new fancy words and terminology, some of them even about mountain biking Here's where im getting stuck. Say i have a budget of about 30-35k, I have some options in terms of new bikes, Silverback Sido, Giant Anthem, Scott 9 something, Trek, Cannondale, ect, and I do really like the look of most of those bikes, and from what I can gather I am looking at the entry level side of things, but there is also the option of some really nice 2nd hand bikes.. There really is a lot of choice out there, which makes it a difficult purchasing decision, because surely you actually have to have spent some time in the saddle to figure out what you like. Is there a case to be made for saying, ok, Im going to find whatever bike I can for 10-15k (second hand) spend some time with it, and then make a more informed decision when that time comes, taking into account I will probably have to/want to spend another 10-15k fixing/upgrading said second hander over the course of ownership, which takes you more or less back into the original budget bracket. Also, black friday is looming not to far away, and maybe there will be some crazy specials going on to compound the issue? I would really appreciate your thoughts and input on this life changing decision:) Thanks,

    Hi guys/girls Calculus bikes are a South African handmade titanium frame company and I am a brand ambassador for them. I got my new frame from them a few days before my race and rushed to finish the bike build...I was worried that I would be uncomfortable on the bike because the bike was not setup and just roughly setup. I was wrong it was the best ride i’ve ever had on a bike as these frames are built for you according to your body and I can say that this is realy a massive + for the company. So the frame is what we al realy want to know about...the finish on the frame looks amazing and the fact that the name and logos aren’t paint or decals but are lazed edged into the frame, the raw ti look makes it even more of a winner. The overall quality of the frame is just amazing the feel and I think it is probably the litest ti dual sus frame on the market. The rear triangle is what realy lets the bike stand out. It only has on pivot and that is at the shock the bottom is a titanium flex blade and that takes out the “bob” you usualy get when riding a dual sus. So if you are a fan of unique bikes and like S.A companies then you should absolutely check them out.

    Anyone know where shall I trade in my bike for a better new bike? Looking someplace in Pretoria. Your advise will be appreciate.

    There's apparently a mountain bike race happening this weekend (17/18 November 2018) at Meerendal - but there doesn't seem to be any mention of it on Bikehub ? Maybe my search skills on the incredible edible internet suck ? Is anyone here taking part in it ? Why is it called "invitational" (especially seeing as people can sign up for it) ? It looks like it'll go through the Dorstberg gate (!!!) at the end of the second day.
