RiderIsSlow Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Cobus surfaced the first part of the new Tokai track (roots) yesterday and covered that nasty sea sand at the small double and berm. The plan is to get some water on it today so by Sat morning it should be sweet. Watch out for the short steep descent near the end, easy to go OTB if you overbake it. Very surprised that section was approved cos usually anything that steep is a no-no for erosion. Hopefully only the guys who don't drag the back wheel will ride it (probably wishful thinking). I really liked the old trail, which is now closed, but this one is also fun in a different way.
Diepseun Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 choices choices!will it be tokai or paarl then this weekend!
RiderIsSlow Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 CAP - nope, I'll try remember to take some on Sat morning.
your_name_here Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Do any of you know where I can get one of those Dakine tail gate blankies for my bakkie?
Capricorn Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 no stress RIS Diepseun, if you goto paarl, YNameHere & crew, and probably myself will be there. not sure if Mitch21 will pitch21 up as well.
your_name_here Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Ignore my previous post. It turns out Dakine is distributed by Billabong here and Billabong is one of my clients. So getting one of those tailgate blankies from them. There's gonna be at least 6 of us at Paarl tomorrow. We will get there at around 8.30. It gets hot out there so we like to ride early.
DownhillingKing Posted February 5, 2010 Author Posted February 5, 2010 Cap sell your X-9 while you still can mine just snapped off this evening!!!
NotSoBigBen Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Hey DHL, where did it snap as a matter of interest?
NotSoBigBen Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Cool! I have had those little black buttons for shifting down break more than once .....
DownhillingKing Posted February 5, 2010 Author Posted February 5, 2010 Sorry about the pic was my 1st attemp then the camera ran out of battery
NotSoBigBen Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Oh the RD, OK never had that but then again I am a mere XC 'poofter' ....
DownhillingKing Posted February 5, 2010 Author Posted February 5, 2010 O right no we don't have front derailers
Capricorn Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Cap sell your X-9 while you still can mine just snapped off this evening!!!why should I sell it? What happened to yours that it broke?You gonna switch to Shimano?I've bashed my rear mech to the point the hangar goes out of square, yet the mech keeps taking it.reality is: saint, SRAM whatever the mech's brand is: in our line of riding, anything will get bashed to the point where it eventually breaks sooner than you had hoped for. that's just the name of the game. But so far, X.9 absolutely rocks in my experience.Capricorn2010-02-05 15:27:57
DownhillingKing Posted February 6, 2010 Author Posted February 6, 2010 This is the thing didn't even bash it just broke going down some stairs. I'm going saint
