  2. Making kids’ bikes is about supporting and nurturing the spirit of riding from the first moment a kid’s feet hit the pedals. Kick-starting their passion for riding by delivering a great first ride means kids are more likely to keep riding for years to come. View full article

  4. Hi, I'm looking for some recommendations for some MTB bike trails/routes in the Gauteng area where one can take ones kids to to. My boys are aged 7 and 8 so I'm looking for a place which will be suitable for there age. Thanks
  5. A buddy of mine is looking for a bike for her 10 year old daughter. I've never had the need to shop for a child's bike so have given some basic pointers, but can't justify she spends a fortune when the kid is going to outgrow it so fast. I'm waiting on measurements to get an idea on size. She's had a look at Sportsmans at some of the Titans. Is there anything else worth looking at?
  6. Hey all. My youngest decided he wants to do the Mass this evening and i'm running around like a headless chicken. Anyone know of someone i can rent a half bike from for the evening?
  7. So i have a question, that has created much distress at home for myself and the goverment. So daddy (thats me) has a new bike. And the kids want to follow suit, so i am deciding to get a bike with new brakes etc, which means rotors and the wife whole heartedly say NO ITS NOT SAFE. Stick to the old ones the V-thingys ones with blocks. and so world war 3 has started and guess who is in the lounge!! So my question is to riders with kids, what will you do. The kids in question are 11 and 7!!
  8. I am thinking of buying an Avalanche Cosmic 24" for my son who is turning 8. The bike is getting cleared for R2200. The price is ok, but is the bike any good? Anyone with experiences of the Avalanche kids range?
  9. My son of 9 loves riding and has progressed from tiny makro raleigh through to a 20" silverback which all did what they bought to do. When it came time to replace his current bike I was looking at all the options and nothing I could find really ticked the boxes for me. The bikes were either small adult bikes, very heavy kids bikes - why should we make a little kid ride bikes of 14kg + or if you could find something that was pretty decent it cost a small fortune. So I decided to do a special build for him. 1st problem, finding an XS 26er frame, it just wasnt possible so in the end I found a really nice looking Titan Hades 26 9R kids specific bike, I didnt want any of the components but the frame looked great. Geometry just like a mini 29er. Bought the bike sold all the components on the hub except for the seatpost and seat. OK now I had a starting point. Wheels had to be tubeless, nothing worse as a kid having puncture after puncture (another reason why 24" wasnt an option). Found some ZTR Alpine rims for a bargain and built them onto some decent Tank Comp hubs I had in the cupboard. Fitted a Kenda small block 8 on the back and a Schwalbe Nobby Nik on the front - tubeless. Found some bargains on the Hub with regards to bar, cassette and chain. Bought a Deore 10spd clutch derailler. Then the decision 2 x 10 or 1 x10.........I finally decided on 1 x 10 for simplicity sake and with a range of 11-36 x 32 that would be perfect for pretty much anything he would tackle on a 26" bike. 2nd Problem, finding a crank. Why dont manufacturers make decent short cranks for kids . Very frustrating. 170mm or 175mm just dont work for kids and this can cause knee problems (no taking chances there) and makes pedalling very inefeiceint through the top of the pedal stroke. So I bought a Deore crank (not a hollow crank so easy to work with), sent it to fellow hubber Ampandy (genius) for some surgery. We cut out 2.5cm of the crank arm to reduce the crank to 150mm. His work is fantastic and after been flatted off with some waterpaper, sandblasted and powder coated it looks great and fitted with a green Kitted 32t wonder ring it should perfom just great. Final bike weight incl pedals and cage - 10.4kg Well here is the end product. Cost me a shade over R6000 (I had hubs, tyres, brakes and stem). I am happy knowing my son has a decent bike, and he is happy because his bike is uber cool.
  10. Hi I am looking for parents who would like to have their kids ride with other kids during the week in the afternoon at places like Meerendal. I have a 10 year old boy who is a very enthusiastic mountain biker that would like to go and ride every day - but we prefer that he always ride with a buddy. Please contact me on pm or comment here if you have kids that are in the same situation. We could then arrange a time to meet at Meerendal to see if the kids get along. Regards
