Anyone using a Jones Bar that can give some advice on the setup? With particular reference to the angle of the bar. Above or below the horizontal and how much?

Have mine set at just below level - not measured but approx 10 degrees, might be more at the bar ends?

Thanks Sepia. Will give that a try. Started with them level and hands going numb very quickly.

this thread seems to have died down a bit.

 

did the "cederberg circuit" last week.

was good fun

I'm heading off for a relaxed circuit in 2wks time.

Where did you overnight? I'm trying to confirm availability of food, don't really feel like carrying everything as we're already taking camping gear.

 

We're staying at Algeria, Cederberg Oasis & Houdenbek.

This is a great ride to do non stop or break it into bite size chunks. All the info available on the webpage.

Thanks for this...hadn't heard of this before. I was riding in the Vaal / Grootvlei recently and looked at the sign to Standerton, that had me wondering how could I get from about Heidelberg to R/Bay...I've got family I could visit along this route in the "small" towns. Sure, they the type of family I usually only see at family funerals but maybe the bike can unite us. :thumbup: haha and a close aunty lives in R/Bay....This seems like it could be a good route for me, a newbie in bikepacking/touring...I really want to break my virginity in this regard.  :clap:

 

Thank you! :thumbup:
