LazyTrailRider Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 So here are the two machines (left one freshly completed) that we're heading to Tokai with shortly. Notice the light from the heavens above illuminating the M3. Rock on!
tunariaan Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Nice, very niceWhats the climb in Tokia like, distance and altitude to where you come downI used to ran alot in that area when i was younger but never to the top
LazyTrailRider Posted September 17, 2011 Author Posted September 17, 2011 Nice bikes dude! How was Tokai? Thanks! Tokai was awesome today, was there from 11h00-15h00. No wind, perfect temperature, just dry enough to not be majorly dusty. All in all, a perfect day. Was the M3's maiden voyage (my brother's bike, not mine), it's a whole lot of bike that takes a whole lot of getting used to. The wide bars freak me out, 780mm vs my 5.5's 645mm... Nice, very niceWhats the climb in Tokia like, distance and altitude to where you come downI used to ran alot in that area when i was younger but never to the top Unfortunately I don't have any technical stats tunariaan, have never been really into geo-tracking, HRM, power monitoring etc when riding. If I remember correctly it's about a 10km ride to Silvermine road at the top, but we generally just stick to tecnical singletrack riding in the forest lately. I actually haven't been to the top for a while...

Chubba Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 The wide bars freak me out, 780mm vs my 5.5's 645mm... Ja, thats long, like riding a chopper!

LazyTrailRider Posted September 18, 2011 Author Posted September 18, 2011 Some more detailed shots of the M3...
banna Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Hell yea! Martin you must plonk these pics in the Intense thread as well.
DJR Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Tokai to Mast and Noordhoek Peak and back to Toaki +/- 43km/+/- 1600mThat's called a RIDE!
LazyTrailRider Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 Hell yea! Martin you must plonk these pics in the Intense thread as well. Good idea!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Ja, thats long, like riding a chopper! The BooBars on the DH sled are 780mm... They feel AWESOME. Trying to go back down to the 620mm on my XC bike... Let's just say that it's less than ideal.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 That's called a RIDE! Nope, that's called a willfully induced suffer-fest. I don't know why anybody would want to ride to the mast, then come back down and go up to Noordhoek peak. Craaaaazy!
