Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 5, 2017 Share I'd print that pic[emoji106]I might just, eh. Will send it to my wife to tart it up a bit. Get the levels sorted and check on the focus, and see if it can be printed. Otherwise I'll have to do it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 5, 2017 Share Nice...what you think of the brakes? Guys I know that have ridden them say they as good or better than XT.yeah, the CODEs should take the XT's, rip them off the bike, stomp them, eat them then crap them out in the woods somewhere in a pre-dug hole 6 feet deep... The Guides do that to XT's already. The CODEs are a level above... Pikey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 5, 2017 Share Myles, since when are you an SRAM fanboy? Anybody that needs more stopping power than XT needs to drop some weight. Since always. Elixir 5's, Elixir XX, Codes, Guide RS. All faultless. Just needs to be bled PROPERLY to work at their optimum level, which will blow anything by Shimano completely out the water, IMO. But now I'm on Hope. I just love the extra control that comes with bigger brakes. Edited June 5, 2017 by Myles Mayhew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrikkieMeyer87 Posted June 5, 2017 Share I got to witness this this weekend. ROFLCOPTER at my brother in law. It was the best. I even edited it in slow mode to the tune of "Turn Down For What" https://www.instagram.com/p/BU7aPHVhPfO Edited June 5, 2017 by FrikkieMeyer87 nonky, Bat, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchelicious Posted June 5, 2017 Share Cycled from Plattekloof to Somerset West yesterday, those back roads in Durbanville are really cool. Felt like I was being chased by a storm.... https://www.instagram.com/p/BU6rAZ2hnbL/ Bat, flymango, Iwan Kemp and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrikkieMeyer87 Posted June 5, 2017 Share WTF did he do!? Stay seated over it or something? That's a rollable feature... Hehehe This was on Lombard's Terra at Bloemendal, where there are two very similar looking wooden obstacles following each other. The first one is rather relaxed and can be covered at just about any speed without issues. The second one however needs to be taken at speed to cover the little gap between the lip and the landing, and he went over a little too slow, landing his wheel just shy of the landing lip. At least that's how I saw it. It was both horrible and hilarious at the same time But he's all better now. Plus I fell over about 3 min after this which made him feel a whole lot better about his bail. Such is life. It was an epic ride though. So much fun.

I took them off my one son's bike and replaced with SLX. They are sitting here in a box getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kader01 Posted June 5, 2017 Share To the Khwa ttu / Ormonde MTB trails, 50 km up the R27 from Melkosstrand. A hidden gem. Did the 30 km red route. Make sure you've got lots of slime (and water).Cool. A new place ???? Never heard of this place. Hows the single track? Googled the place now and read that its 80% jeep track and only 20 single. Is that correct? Safe to ride alone? Techical?

Pure Savage Posted June 5, 2017 Share Did a bit of a ride on the weekend on some roads I have not done since I started, cycling in 2010. (The R101) Last time I did that I remember I had a slight tailwind and I was gunning it, yesterday I did the same road with the Savage old toppies faster than what I did 7 years ago. I must have looked like I was in slow motion in 2010. There was a lot more of me to move around back then though.
