The expat cyclist Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Hope it flipping stops raining - I wanna go ride!
Zeps Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Dunno about 'goes' fast but it sure 'looks' fast - nice ride mate
The expat cyclist Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) This does go fast - when the wife rides it. Seat tube needs a respray though. Edited January 7, 2011 by MJ loves MTB
DownhillingKing Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 MTB is best in the rain, don't you love the mud!!! Makes me feel as if I'm 10 again. As for the bike, looks awesome, what does it weigh?
Capricorn Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 I'm with DHK. wet weather MTB'ing is really the best. if it's sloppy it's great, but it is a bit sketch if the soil is claylike, and it didnt rain enough. makes things greasy, but overally, still better than in the dry.

Mojoman Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Another 12mm in the Hekpoort area last night, waiting for some sun to come out to dry things up a little (and warm things up, wore a jacket yesterday! First time in about 2 months! )

Riding in the wet does nothing for me other than reminding me of the costs of destroyed chains, cables and pivots... What I *really* like is that powdery dry stuff. High-speed dust, yeah!
