deanbean Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 This is built as a gravel grinder. I live in the KZN Midlands with numerous district back roads linked with wonderful country roads (tar). When I had my road bike I always wanted to take a turn onto a dirt patch and link two great roads etc... but wouldn't do it on my expensive, carbon Italian steed. So I sold it, built a steel gravel eater and am loving exploring my 'back yard'. [emoji106]We also have long gravel roads here, and a more comfy thicker wheeled roadbike would be fun. I've often thought of putting dropbars and skinny tyres on my Ragley. It would make it a more versatile machine, a true gravel grinder. Ryanpmb 1

bertusras Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) First time at Wolwespruit I didn't have an incident, go me, I did however have zero confidence, which caused many almost-incidents. Still fun! http://i.imgur.com/CbwJNhK.jpg Edited May 2, 2015 by bertusras Uni and L.T.G 2
Wayne Potgieter Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 This happened. Never had to shout "TRACK!!!!" at a camel before. Uni, AlphaKilo, Jinga and 3 others 6
amasendeinja Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 This happened. Never had to shout "TRACK!!!!" at a camel before. 20150501234504.jpgDid you check out its toes????? nonky 1
Wayne Potgieter Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Did you check out its toes?Yes. (actually, you are not the first one to ask me that ) They were very dirty and smelly. But it was to be expected as this happened at Rietvlei which is in the South of JHB. It s a very rough neighbourhood, so most cameltoes are dirty and smelly there. (Just kidding - couldnt resist taking a poke at the Alberton guys - i am so used to getting it from all sides about being an East Rander) Edited May 2, 2015 by Wayne Potgieter Stretched@Birth 1

L.T.G Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Did Breedts for the first time today.Never been too interested as there's "not much to it".Not saying it's easy, but I'm a singletrack kind of guy.Had a great morning out with mates, albeit a VERY chilly start!Spectacular views and super fun downhills!

tombeej Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Gonna get roasted for this but cyclocross just doesn't make sense to me. MTB are made for dirt and roadies for tar. Reckon that is just a line which should not be crossed. All got started with a couple of bored Belgian and Dutch pro's looking for ways to stay fit without high pace on tar though their cold and wet winters. Then became a sport at which only those 2 nationalities are any good. Only those who see frietekes as their national fare are mad enough. No reason for the rest of the world to pretend they are normal and legitimise this nonsense Ben's monstercross bike must really freak you out then, hey.I wish you well finding your way out of that little box you've got yourself stuck in. (My n+1 bike most certainly has to be a monstercross build or CX bike. An awesome bike category and really makes perfect sense in the SA environment if you stop and think about it for 5 secs).
