AndyPG Posted February 1, 2015 Share Hey! Nice ???? Is this your first GT? I am not familiar with the Timberline series? Is it alloy? May you have much fun. Generally GT's are pretty agile.Yeah! This is my first GT. Had a choice of this or a cheaper brand called Oryx if memory serves me correctly. Decided to go with the GT after reading reviews. The timberline model Is very basic and from what I gather is designed for beginners offering a very good frame for upgrades later down the line. Yes the hike has an alloy frame (don't ask me which alloy though) she is lighter than my old Avalanche AX 175 though although I believe small cars may have been lighter. Been an adjustment to get used to the 29" wheels purely from a length perspective I have found cornering to be a bit of a mission otherwise I couldn't be happier with her. So far I have only done a few cycles around the Rietvlei nature reserve in Pta. Looking to take a cycle down to Groenkloof as I hear that is the place to be.

Some really fun times. Upgrading is cool, but not necessary to just love riding... Getting used to the 29er wheels takes a little time... Are you a new rider, or just new to 29ers? One thing I found made a massive difference on my start to 29ers was tyre pressure... I was running way too hard, resulting in my wheels jumping about and losing traction on the corners. I am now running my wheels around 2 bar (30 psi), which increases traction a lot. I'm not from PTA, but have heard that wolwespruit and rosemary hill are also good fun over there...
