mtbride Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) At Hakahana last week-end, was a mud fest, had to stop twice as the back wheel could not turn at all anymore ... the mud there is like clay. Until we got up the hills where the rocks were nice and clean ... still damn hard work. Upgrades: Wide Lightning Rims, Rapide 720mm Flat bar, 70mm Stem, FOX Factory Shock (was warranty replacement on EVO), STrack Pedals, Raceface NWN 34T, ESI Chunky grips, Specialized Phenom saddle. FIT 4 damper upgrade on fork. 11.6kg Edited January 25, 2016 by Kraggie Long Wheel Base, BenReaper, Pieterlab1 and 1 other 4

mtbride Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Is that rock garden on the way down or up? On the way up, the camera angle does not do it justice, it's steeper than it looks there. Quite long as well, reckon 50 meters ... Hakahana seems to have got rougher than last year, not sure if the rain washed away everything except the rocks, but it's tougher for me now, maybe it's just me. Odinson 1

Have done the trailseeker marathons there a few times and its tough like the mabalingwe lionman.
BigDL Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Looks like it's quite flat and cold and wet.Indeed. 87 k's of ice cold wind and rain.

Tech climbing is one of the funnest and most rewarding things to do on a MTB. mtbride 1

Far prefer this type of climbing to fire roads.... mtbride 1

Look we might not have the scenery that you guys got but we do have a few gems when it comes to trails. If you ever up here and want to do some riding you should give it a go.http://www.hakahanatrails.co.za/ Edited January 25, 2016 by Long Wheel Base Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
