Duane_Bosch Posted January 11, 2016 Share I've reached the point where if my bike breaks I'm taking up running again. I feel sorry for the niche bike retailers out there. Ja. I want a new trail lid and I'm having to think "tax refund" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted January 11, 2016 Share Get a Morewood single pivot frame and profit maintenance is cheap(bearing man) and they are rugged and over specced so things seem to last. Also don't buy a fox fork, RS Rev or Pike. For the dropper get a Giant. Now you can afford the petrol to get to the trails!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane_Bosch Posted January 11, 2016 Share Get a Morewood Yeah. You forgot to mention they weigh the same as a JCB Odinson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoBoshoff Posted January 11, 2016 Share Funny thing is (and I realise this is totally anecdotal) but the only people I have recently come across with new bikes are on sponsored / test kit. Which in Cape Town is like 90% of riders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane_Bosch Posted January 11, 2016 Share Alllll you "enduro riders" in the cape. There's a DH race at Steilte on the 14th. Time to put up or shut up. And none of this "it's vanetines day" rubbish. We all know you're single and live with your mother. There's rumors of a shuttle day on the 13th at the same venue for that unfair advantage. But the owners of said shuttle vehicles and trailers have been difficult to reach for confirmation. Oh and then there's the Night Harvest in HB on the 12th with some of the best dirt jumpers in the world doing their thing.

Considering the number of Reigns around I'm fairly certain I can get Pieter to create a Giant Reign class. I'll ride the "endure" class if you do. Come on. It will be fun.

If not, I may just ride it for the sake of it and fark the times.... DH needs the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ag noe man, what person in their right mind would lump a Rev and Pike with a Fox fork? Sure he meant "Don't get a fox fork, get an RS Rev or Pike"Yebo yes Edited January 11, 2016 by Skylark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
