Check the video and tell me your seat height does not look a bit low.

Been spending a few days at Bontebokpark, outside Swellendam.

 

 

Before doing our booking I checked if we would be allowed to cycle in the park, on the game viewing roads.  Turns out they now even rent out MTB's at Bontebokpark  :w00t:   :thumbup:

 

 

NO - there are no dedicated MTB trails with burms and jumps etc ....

 

 

YES - you are allowed to ride on the same roads that other guests to park are allowed to ride on.  Thus at first glance gravel grinding.  And certainly yes, lots of gravel grinding ... and then you get to those sections where vehicles with higher ground clearance are recommended, where the front wheel drivers have spun out some decent corrugations !!  Long sections with layers of loose pebbles .... LEKKA !!  :clap:   You had better be alert and on top of your game.

I am pleased someone else knows what that insert at the back of a Fizik saddle is for.
