capediver Posted April 21, 2021 Share You did THAT on the gravel bike Respect That "new" lower trail is awesome! TBH walked the last 100m part of the lower trail where it rejoins Bakoven at Ottawa Drive.... it's virtually unrideable loose stones and baby heads in a burnt out landscape...trail is hard to follow/find, I reckon even MTB will rattle your teeth loose! But the rest is sublime and some really nice hips and drops! Well worth the climb up from V Road! Need to get back there with some tyre width and suspension...Edit...I believe that this lower section is called Lobotomy!

RocknRolla Posted April 22, 2021 Share Took the Sr71 out to an evening social at the 'vlei last night. Absolute peach of an evening Me thinks the all black camo on the bike blends in nicely, dont you? IMG_20210420_190128.jpg Tell me more about this social ride at night. Is it open to the public?

117 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Yip. It's part of the DOC gang. They arrange group rides out of rietvlei Zoo. Tuesday is the 'snail gang' averaging 18 to 20kph. Wednesday evening is the medium and fast groups. It's good fun. Dusty... But fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne pudding Mol Posted April 22, 2021 Share New wheels and thicker rubber for the Curve?I think I may have had a slightly different loaner set initially but these are the wheels that I ordered with the bike - new rubber, Panaracer 50s - bit louder on tar but seriously capable off road DJR and DJuice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't know what the actual road name is because from day one the lady and I called it "Italian Road" - it looks like tuscany or somewhere similar.

With those Panaracer`s you will manage the gravel roads and some single track in the Northern Cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
