MoreTrails Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 ???? Whose FB page? Welvanpas Trails i think..... Let me have a quick look for it, I will post if I find it
deviate Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Deviate, that tyre is a BEAST! Loving it on my Trance. Heavy as hell but dual ply and beeeeg!ja , I've got one on already. You showed me your bubble at the helderberg enduro. Now I have 2 charges. Hehe.
Guest Omega Man Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 . -13% over 2.6km. It's what I believe an enduro trail should be. Naturally technical with varied terrain and gradients. The parts in the pics are flat. Then down them flat then slightly up then it goes down steeper and steeper and steeper. Nothing super steep but very physical. I always get armPUMP about 2/3 in and have to stop just to un clamp my hands for a few seconds. Much More physical than ss1 and ss2 from helderberg. (IMO)I might have accidentally tripped and organized a Rocky Altitude and a Rocky Element for us to test on that weekend. Rocky are doing something with the park in terms of branding etc. I might have another trick or 2 up my sleeve for that weekend but I'll confirm in the next week or so.

I'm riding/demoing the altitude on the 7th June at the park..... Not that the park would do it justice though... But george would! Let me know! I can always hold onto them till you guys come down the following week....

He's coming to that M place that I'm not allowed to talk about. (Not Matjiesfontein) I chatted to him this morning and he mentioned that he's going to leave some demo bikes with Tyrone and that we can ride them the weekend that we are there. Grant the owner of T&T is coming on the weekend too and they are also strongly linked to Rocky. Grant will be hesitant to let me use his bike tho cos I broke his light in less than an hour.

Cool! I'm in Knysna once or twice every week, ridden with Tyrone a few times. He know me , so I guess it'll be easier... And they told me about the demo too. Cool. Sorted. I wonder if I like the altitude will they swap me for my trance.....

With a small (the full retail price) cash pay in and a small charge to take the trance off of your hands. And a storage charge of course for the time it takes to sell the Trance.

banna Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Haha. Thought so..... Sniff sniff. I think the altitude or the new tracer carbon. Dream bikes! Can't really go wrong with either. But for sure you should get the Intense....kinda biased .... just a tad.... ever so slightly...
MoreTrails Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Press fit bb's......booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Flowta Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Press fit bb's......booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Your's implode or what?
MoreTrails Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Your's implode or what? No, its just crap idea. They flex and or creak, you can't tighten then and generally if you want to service them you have to replace it because to get them out generally causes damage. Having to fit something with into a frame with locktite, or friction paste cause it moves or some sort of gom....that is just a *** idea. You wouldn't say us bikers are opinionated would you.........
MoreTrails Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Anyway, have a squizz at the write up for the Dirtopia Enduro this past weekend. http://www.pinkbike.com/news/dirtopia-enduro-2014-stellenbosch-south-africa.html

Hahaha, I get you. My frame came with the Shimano 91 pressfit, nothing I can do about it now. No issues yet, but we'll see how long that lasts. Luckily the outer is much of plastic so the frame doesn't get worn when pressing in new ones
