  1. +1 on the proframe. I struggled breathing in a full face for my first ride, especially on the ups, but now remove the padding on the ups, and have been very happy since. Has definitely saved me a couple of times, and finding that I'm opting for the full face more often than not.
  2. Pretty much running the out of the box specs, but have moved the Maxxis DHR II 2.3 to the back and put a Maxxis DHR II 2.4 in front just last week. Would going from a FOX 34 Float Performance to a 36 be THAT much of an improvement? Or should I just slap on some 200mm rotors (currently 180mm) and call it a day?
  3. Been great reading through this thread for the small tips. About a year ago I got into riding & got myself a Merida one-forty 700 with the intention to enjoy the downs far more than the ups. Currently, I'm primarily doing the Helderberg Shuttle days & skill parks with a trail ride every other weekend. In the future I'd like to get designated DH & trail bikes, but for the time being what sort of upgrades should I be looking at to make the One-Forty as DH & jump worthy without throwing anything out of balance?
  4. While on topic of TMTBC trail ratings, how would the black & double black lines at Conties compare to other trails? I haven't had the chance to ride the Cobra or too many other trails as of yet to have a fair enough reference of gradings.
  5. Hey guys, can anyone recommend any trails in Garden Route? Garden Route trail Park was our initial choice but we've just found out they're closed due to flooding.... Thanks
  6. Had a look at this and was definitely on the list; Only concern was it already being 5 years old I'd imagine a lot would be quite outdated (Feel free to correct me). Generally tried to keep my pre-used options 2015+
  7. Looking for something that can tackle anything in-front of it pretty comfortably but specifically as I aim to ride a lot more enduro without wanting to upgrade after 6 months. Current budget: R30 000 Currently eyeing out: Stumpjumper ST alloy
  8. What time do these trails close? Getting my weekend warrior back on and would be great to fit in a ride after work during the week.
  9. Awesome thanks! Just dropped it off at Cycle Teknix to strip down and service. I'll likely ride these out for awhile then once the bug has truly bitten again look at getting a dual suspension. What would be a good entry price for something that I'm not going to want to upgrade again in a couple of months?
  10. Howsit Guys, Ex-weekend warrior returning to the trail in Cape Town. Back in 2013 I'd be on the trail every weekend, but unfortunately stopped when the group I was riding with bailed. Finally getting back into it with my partner and a couple of friends and would love some help with the following: I have a Trek 6300 recently serviced and in good condition & a Merida Matts 1000Lite also in good condition but with a light layer of rust creeping in on the chain & derailer ect. from sitting in the garage ever since I stopped riding. Am I looking at replacing parts or will a good service do the job? Are these bikes still good enough for now or should I be looking at upgrading sooner than later? (Just for weekend warriors around tracks like Meerendal & Contermanskloof) Any advice will be appreciated, thanks gents
