Guest Omega Man Posted September 11, 2013 Share The K-Way stuff is nice. Leaning towards something from Dakine myself. I think this is the only piece of kit I still need. Are hydration packs still frowned upon?No. Anyone who rides without one there is a t00l in my opinion. I'll have one and I'll have spare tubes and bombs for sale for 40 Euro. EACH! Pushing your bike 10km and missing the last lift on the way back from a day at Morgins because you think you are too cool to wear a pack will suck. and you will be laughed at. Oh and while I'm on this rant. Drinking water out of your mate's pack is uncool. Yes you Nic!

NicoBoshoff Posted September 11, 2013 Share I'm quite keen to get one of those nice big Dakine hydration packs which double as a backpack for food and kit. My Camelbak is too small for a proper waterproof jacket and knee guards. Will need the pack for Enuro races in any event (because transition in pads suck). Any tips of where to buy? My LBS sells Dakine kit, but not backpacks. Edited September 11, 2013 by NicoBoshoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my Nomad should be ok for the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicoBoshoff Posted September 11, 2013 Share Afrikaans vir "awesome"? Hmmm, seems like the trip will include a "learn the oddities of the Afrikaans language" section. But yes, it means awesome DR ◣◢ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Omega Man Posted September 11, 2013 Share Fox Oasis looks like a good option...locally here for about ZAR1000Ja something just a little bigger than just a hydration pack. You are gonna carry a tube, pump/bombs, quick link, tire levers, multi tool, and on the wet/long travel days a waterproof. I also take at least 50 Euro in cash for a taxi (u never know) sunblock a little bagy of bolts, Your insuance card and..... Your liiiiiiift paaassssss!!!!

Guest Omega Man Posted September 11, 2013 Share Leave some cash for bits to buy there. Prices aren't great but the variety is. Plus you haven't been to France until you've gotten the look from a frog working in a shop. You know. The one that says you're stupid, irritating and ruining his day by walking into his shop to spend money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
