  1. Hi all, As the title suggests, I'm thinking about getting a smart trainer. We have a great little gym at our apartment building, but some chop keeps breaking the training bikes and I can't get decent training sessions in... From my limited research, the best entry-level options seem to be Tacx Satori or Flow smart trainers. Could anyone share some insight on the other pieces of the puzzle I'm not considering and their general experience with a cheaper smart trainer? I'm worried that "goedkoop koop is duurkoop" will come back to haunt me.
  2. Hi, I just joined and this forum seems to be a great place to get advice from knowledgeable riders. I am looking at buying a mountain bike and have been looking around and gathering data for some time. The advice from dealers seem to depend on which bike they wish to sell so an objective opinion is appreciated. Taking my height, weight, budget, requirements, proposed use, level of fitness and neck fusion into consideration, I have narrowed my choice down to the Titan Calypso Cruz 27.5 or Trek Skye S Women's 29". Thanks!
  3. Coming off the back of this topic, I was wondering what would be the 'easiest' multi-stage races, and by that I mean the least technical. My sister is getting in to the MTB riding slowly but surely, and while watching the Epic decided that some day she wants to ride that. Where would be a good starting point to get used to multi stage racing in a not *too* technical environment, preferably in Gauteng, or fairly close, and something that will allow for mixed teams because I am going to have to be the diligent big brother and ride with her.
  4. Hi guys. I am posed with a bit of a problem. I am looking at buying a entry level MTB. The plan is to ride once during the week and then over the weekends. Then doing at least one fun ride (about 10km) every 2 months. I am about 1.7 tall. (Read short). I have been looking at the Axis A60 (26'') hydraulic disc brakes or the Trek Marlin (29'') with mechanical disc brakes. The issue now is... do i go for a 26'' with better specs or for a 29'' and maybe look to upgrade components later. Alternatively the secondhand market is a entirely different prospect, but it does come down to the same question 29'' / 650b small frame (not too common for a good price) or a 26'' with reasonable specs (because everyone seems to be selling them to upgrade to 29'')? Please help?
