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. L.T.G, DJR, Uni 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
