Rigardt@Scott Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Had a ride at Buffelsdrift this morning. A mate got a puncture in his front tyre, used a bomb, 2km later another puncture, had to plug it and use a bomb. Another 2km later puncture in the other wheel, had to put a tube in. Another few km later and the tube got a flat! Had to limp home. Haha, was a long 30km, but got out on the trails with mates, and that's always fun! Don't know why he got so many flats! Tyres are 500km old amd in good condition (Spez Purgatory on the front, Maxxis Hight Roller on the rear), had plenty of snot in the tyres, never had issues before. Just one of those days I guess.

Dubber Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Also, is there any groups that ride on Saturday? I really would like to join a group each Saturday morning early. http://www.sportsworld.co.za/category.php?id_category=447 There is a group ride pretty much each day of the week. The web page show the 'official' rides but there are also a bunch of others for guys and gals that can't make those times.Probably easier to join the Whatsapp group - then you will get daily updates of what rides are going on. If you want to be added just PM me your cell number...# Andrew_Smith 1
NotSoBigBen Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Just a quick out and about on the pain machine, it's our 34th wedding anniversary so thought it best to be back at a respectable time ???? Gen, Andrew_Smith, DJR and 7 others 10
