Duane_Bosch Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 Is that Myles?Myles mostly rides a keyboard and a mouse. He very rarely actually swings a leg over a bike. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
Hairy Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 I see mostly XC bikes here actually, 2nd hand enduro bikes aren't easy to find, the dual suspension classifieds section is full of XC bikes I was actually surprised when I moved from France to SA to see that everyone was riding without any form of protection (except for tiny cute little helmets) when we were riding full DH bikes in full DH kits in France, on much easier trails than what I ride here most of the time I have to admit I do see more and more enduro bikes these days

V18 Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 Lol. I too enjoy being over kitted most of the time. Recently I've been klapping the steel HT with bare knees/elbows and halflid for funduro days. Its just lekker chill and I have the excuse to ride past big drops and pallet jumps sans shame. The guys I know with big boy bikes definitely put them through their paces every now and then. But not at the frequency you'd expect. Duane_Bosch 1
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 Funny because it's mostly true. Credit my maatjie Theunsie (who rides a Capra).Proudly so....

Falling Over Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 I see mostly XC bikes here actually, 2nd hand enduro bikes aren't easy to find, the dual suspension classifieds section is full of XC bikes I have been trying to find out what new 140/150mm travel bikes are available in store and available to view in Pretoria, and the results have been disappointing to say the least. Salesmen look at you funny like you are not worth their time, and then try to move you over to the sub 120mm range. They really are not making it easy to support LBS's. Thanks be for Barry & the folks at Pyga. At this rate I might just take the plunge and buy an alu Hyrax when they come out. Hairy 1
Duane_Bosch Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 You're not wrong... The irony of me typing that on a keyboard was not lost on me. Hairy and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
Duane_Bosch Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) Some say that you have gone full #enduro will be at JH looking for a medal? I'm just looking to finish without making a complete fool of myself. Edit. Ok maybe that ship has sailed but I'm just looking to finish.Edit #2. Some people have to get dragged up the hill and bribed, begged and threatened to do some riding. Edited September 20, 2019 by Duane_Bosch Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Hairy and Headshot 3

Thank feck it looks like we're not going to the saaltjie 4 times!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 If the shoe fits :-)well... considering I spend ~10-12 hours a day behind a keyboard, it's always gonna be like that.

Big day out no matter how you cut the cheese.yup. Just asking - which climb do people think would be better? Doing the left hand winding climb to get to Plumber, or going via the waterfall route on the other end? I think the left hand climb is more gradual, but not sure.
