Stellenbosch- Looking for loan bike and a ride guide


I FLY

Recommended Posts

Hello fellow Hubbers,

 

My daughter's boyfriend will be in your area for the next two weeks on holiday. He has just converted from a free style mx rider to mtbing a few months ago.

 

If anyone one has a spare medium/large mtb to loan him and has the time to ride with him , he is very keen to ride at Jonkershoek.

 

He has taken his cycling kit with him.

 

Send me a PM if you can assist.

 

Thank you.

There is a few places that rent out bikes in Stellenbosch. Dirtopia, Adventure shops and more. According to google the prices varies from R40 tot R100 per day.

You want to give a MTB to a MX freerider? Think again about that one. Those guys are insane on those MX bikes. How is a mtb going to stand up to that type of punishment?

Jip. Exactly why I suggested the rental thing. :)

It's called an All mountain bike..... :-) no carbon, no tires under 2.35, and definitely not under 12kg.

Thanks for the info.

 

BTW - He weighs a mere 95kgs (mostly muscle). His technical skills are sublime.

 

The 1st bike I lent him was an aluminum frame one. Within 2weeks he was doing "small jumps" so I took it away and gave him my steel frame GT.

I lent him my Tallboy when they came to spend a weekend with us and the 1st thing he did was try a wheelie. He ended up on his back in the dirt as he touched the front brake instead of the back one.

I bought him his own geared 29er

He fell really hard and has been well behaved since then.

He has been riding one of my bikes for almost a year
