RocknRolla Posted May 17, 2017 Share Eish, that is hectic! That must have been a very painful experience. Glad to hear you are all good now though! When you say you pushed it past it's limit - what exactly did you do? Just rough terain? Jumping around? I will definitely err on the side of caution though!Rough terrain, manuals over little bumps and at speed getting airborne quite often. I'm on Tapatalk now, so cant see your location, but here in Gauteng the terrain is rough, specially in placed I like to ride, like van Gaalens, Avianto, and Heia Safari at the stage when Hero adventure was still running it. Also did mankele 3 towers as well as berg n bush before it's demise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also in Gauteng, more Pretoria though. I ride mainly Buffels and Rosemary with the ocassional Hakahana. Because of my pre-existing condition (being fat haha) and the bike being a SS, I think it will mostly be used at Rosemary and district roads... Buffels, Haka, and Van Gaalens will be tackled with my dual sus geared bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocknRolla Posted May 17, 2017 Share What fork was it?I'd prefer not to say, as it was not the Brand's fault but mine. But lets just say it was nowhere near the price of a niner fork. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the nerd Posted May 17, 2017 Share Ive been riding my X-lite for almost 5 years at thaba and where ever the hell I want. Never ever questioned its integrity... That being said.. I should hopefully be getting my new fork sometime in the next month or two... Edited May 17, 2017 by the nerd Grease_Monkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
