    Hello all, I am looking at investing in a road bike with the idea to use it for the next decade, at least. I am weighing up two options, the Cannondale super six carbon (2015), 10-speed, which has american classic wheels, easton carbon handle bars and comes with a left-crank watt meter... compared to a Merida Scultura 4000 (2016), 11-speed, which has upgrades of campagnolo chorus parts. The Merida is about R3000 cheaper, when comparing both bikes as is. Any advice? I am waiting to hear whether a 52/36 crankset can fit the Merida, otherwise it will come with compact crank. Cannondale has a 52/36 already. Both bikes are second hand

    Press Release Originally launched in 2008, our World Cup and World Championships proven full suspension race bike has gone through a number of changes and alterations over the last decade, with probably the most significant departure from ‘the old’ coming together in the new NINETY-SIX (MY2021). We are very excited to present our take on modern XC, marathon and stage racing as well as lightweight short travel trail riding – welcome to the new NINETY-SIX – TRAIL AND TRACK AT FULL GAS.

    Nowadays we often associated trail and mountain biking fun with more and sophisticated full suspension travel as modern full suspension bikes become not just more capable on the way down but also easier to pedal and more efficient on the way up. Click here to view the article

After the demise of the Multivan MERIDA Biking Team at the end of the 2016 season, Gunn-Rita has been working to continue cycling at the highest level. The Norwegian MERIDA distributor, Stians Sport AS took the opportunity and together with MERIDA offered Gunn-Rita the support to form a Norwegian UCI team for the next two seasons.

    Hi there - quite new to the addictive MTB sport and looking at a decent entry level bike for around 5-6k. I have seen some decent well specced Titan Sports, Giant Revels and Axis A60's, but having difficulty on choosing. Is there a sort of ranking sheet i can refer to, lol? I am about 1.74m , weighing around 90kgs and looking for something smooth, strong and fast. I dont intend becoming an avid trail rider, but possibly looking at the light trails now and then. will propably do more Beach, recreational pavement riding. in addition, what do you reckon is my frame size? i would think medium based on the chart sizing guides. What are your thoughts?

    Hi all, I'm currently looking at buying a new entry level dual suspension MTB and would appreciate some advice on which would be best, or if there are any other suggestions that you would recommend. The bikes I'm considering buying are: 1. 2016 Giant Anthem X 29er at R30k (https://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/bikes/model/anthem.x.29er/22201/84034/#specifications) 2. 2017 Merida One Twenty XT at R33k (http://www.merida-bikes.com/en_int/bikes/full-suspension/trail/2017/one-twenty-xt-edition-6381.html) Edit: Another option is a 2016 Cannondale Rush 1 at R25k (http://www.treadmtb.co.za/bikes-cannondale-rush-29-1/) Thanks!

    Johann Rabie does it all. He's a former road professional, now riding as mountain biker for Team Telkom, and in between being a pro he owns a successful bike shop in Malmesbury. There is much we could talk to Johann about but for this feature it's all about his bike, a Merida Ninety-Six Team. Click here to view the article

    Hi Guys I am a 23 year old girl, a bit overweight so I set a goal of completing my first Olympic style triathlon in November (the 5150). Only been training for a week - swimming in the morning before work and running when I don't have evening class (which is over weekends). Anyway, I need to buy a road bike. I am in no rush as I can train on a mountain bike in the mean time. I'll be going to a recycle sport shop tomorrow and will report back here In the mean time - what do you think about https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/204788-merida-scultura-juliet-904-carbon-small/ I have been on gumtree as well: http://www.gumtree.co.za/a-sports-bicycles-fitness/port-elizabeth/fuji-altair-for-sale/1001757504980910412502409 http://www.gumtree.co.za/a-sports-bicycles-fitness/port-elizabeth/raleigh-tri6000/1001757164740910266163709 http://www.gumtree.co.za/a-sports-bicycles-fitness/port-elizabeth/road-bike-for-sale/1001699564350910444487609 Budget isn't really an issue but I'd prefer going second hand in case it's a one time thing (which I am hoping it's not) Thanks!

    Hi guys Trust you are all well. Yesterday my brother in law went for a ride after watching Hamilton win at the British F1 race, much to his demise. We started the ride, the weather nice and warm until a cold wind started picking up. At about the 5 km mark will going down a road called West street in Brentwood park which has a 2 % descent gradient. We were doing around 44 km/h when we decided that we would try to be Chris Froome, even after the attached warning provided on Facebook stating it was a bad idea. I was sitting on the top bar on the bike and decided pedalling = speed (thats normal logic right?). At this time my left knee hit the bottom end of the drop bars and this in turn made the bike preform and unexpected turn, I guess for the worst. The bike and I went down pretty hard, Note to self: use glove cover part of hand to slow down and not fingertips, with the bike landing on my rear Campagnolo skewer (needs replaced). After this, the contact points ranged from the bottom of the drop bars (replace bar tap) to the hood of the left gear shifter (needs replaced) to the left pedal (seems fine) and the seat (needs replaced). The section I'm most worried about however is the rear of the bike due to the bike being carbon. Whats the best way of identifying a hairline crack in the frame? I completed another 18 ish km on the bike before we had to return home due to sunlight and this was followed by a bit of screaming why trying to clean the roasties I received during my experience. During the rest of the ride, I tried to push the bike as I usually do and nothing or out of place, this was over all types of road including a plot road that has a few sections of covered potholes (Near brothers in laws house). The bike in question is a Merida Scultura 4000 Carbon bike. Thanks for the help

    I am looking at buying a new road bike to start off with. The guy at the bike shop I visited advised me that in terms of value for money, nothing will beat the Silverback Strela (the 2016 model looks spectacular I must say). Not even Giant or Merida will be as good according to him. Does anyone have experience with this bike and is it worth getting? It come with full Shimano equip, but just an 8-speed. Is this good enough to start off with?
