Flowta Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Peachtree and I went for a ride up Karbonkelberg this morning. Go to test out the On-one Fleegle bar on my singlespeed for the first time. The long bars are great to crank away on the uphill. But man there is some serious erosion of the path/trail further up Overlooking Hout Bay Flowta2009-06-07 08:54:24

_BBi Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Cool pic's.You must have suffered with no granny gear....
Flowta Posted June 7, 2009 Author Posted June 7, 2009 Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. That bar provides a lot of leverage (715mm)
Hairy Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 NIce pics .... would be good to see a front elevation pic of the 715mm bars on the bike
intern Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 That's one of my favourite CT rides - quite sandy and technical towards the top, a fair amount of portaging required. But once you get to the old radar station and turn around, it's fun time! You can really cook it down there....but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't attempt it without the benefit of a dual susser!!
Bos Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 I was on my way down from the mast Yesterday thinking I must do that ride next week. I did it In the rain and cold once and this other oke whom thought he was hard (just did the epic) was almost crying. haha Guys what condition is the top section in? Last time it was very overgrown and a bit of a pain to get through.
Flowta Posted June 8, 2009 Author Posted June 8, 2009 We only went as far as to when there a huge donga that had been carved by erosion. We turned around at that point as we weren't sure how far we would have to hike-a-bike. (First time doing it)
downhilldemon Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 the last half is a killer. not worth the hike a bike. but you can ride the 1st half and then turn around. good ride
