T-Bob Posted April 15, 2018 Share Dan Dobson @ iRide should have some... DD is also key organiser of the WC enduro at Hoggies on the weekend. http://www.irideafrica.com/bike-hire/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odinson Posted November 8, 2018 Share Dan Dobson @ iRide should have some... DD is also key organiser of the WC enduro at Hoggies on the weekend. http://www.irideafrica.com/bike-hire/ Anyone made use of this rental service? What condition are the bikes in? I'll be in CT and surrounds next year April and want to sample some trails, but the thought of lugging my own bike all the way from Europe just for one or two days of riding is not very appealing. Must say, R800 p/d for the Enduro is eye-wateringly expensive! Jeesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge_Design Posted November 8, 2018 Share Seems pretty reasonable by international standards... Considering they probably have to clean and service them after every rental it's not a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alouette3 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Dan is your man. Not cheap, but you getting quality bikes that are kept in top knick. My Trance is one of his old rental fleet I bought 6 years ago and still riding it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite common practice not to allow DH bikes in these races, you have to pedal quite far and climb alot - Ezel was 50km, Jonkers 30km with 2000m climbing - no one will make that on a DH bike.

Sam Hill took part in a World Cup DH race on one and placed extremely well. Anyway, I'm sure some guy could pedal his DH bike with wide range gearing for 50km, but the large majority will end up not making cut offs at stages. Either way, your LTHT will do fine at most Enduros - probably more suited to some trails (eg: Conties) than full sus bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeesh. https://ridein.co.za/bike-rentals/...maybe not "enduro bike" but they do rent out Cambers, Stumpjumpers etc... another option is to contact BMT in Stellenbosch.http://bmtsa.co.za or follow the other posts. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
