Doesn’t matter what your feelings are towards the brand…truth is they’ll likely sell more of these than SRAM can ever wish for 🤷🏻‍♂️ And then here I am, sold my AXS, went back to XT because i couldn't care about charging a bicycle AND just bought me a Linkglide XT groupset to replace this when the time comes. I’m over paying sh!t tons of money for consumables like a drivetrain. Imagine having to replace the gearbox in you car every 5k km lol. ( probably would still be cheaper than bicycle drivetrain thats the sick part. If we had permanent shuttles around i would run my enduro bikes single speed. Added bonus of more efficient rear suspension. R2k for a chain, 8k for a cassette etc etc…nah, im done.

Silver/raw csixx speedring to complete the look👀

Ok ok.. 40 going on 41 197cm (96cm inseam) size 13-14 UK shoe 87kg XL mtb’s 64cm+ road/gravel bikes Metal head, but i’ll listen to anything good.

Pretty small feet… 👀🤣

First world problems… i buy bikes like I have to buy shoes… Ask what they have in the biggest size🤣 XL/S6 some xl’s are smaller than others too…so i shop for 520+ ish reach If they existed and could fit in frames…id be able to use 300mm droppers lol. Have 210mm one now and it is still ~100mm from being slammed.

@BaGearA ps, csixx cage fitsg waiting on the lg700 casette. That aircon place doesn't stock them locally so did what any normal person would do….get it yourself. Got the mech and shifter locally at 50% off…so far R3000 all in🤣

WHAT!?!? You are in for a treat then if doing the full ps: forest frenzy only gets opened on events. Not ridable on normal days. The rest are. Steep rocky and some flowey fun

And just like that: https://wcenduro.co.za Go go go!! For the full: Training Camps, Freeride>Supers, Forest Frenzy, Revised, Mast>BR1>BR2>Happy Hops For Lite : Training Camps, Freeride>Supers, Forest Frenzy

On that note, this also almost happend to witfontein last year if you recall. (Getting approval to host an event from the city/forestry overlords)

Its after pay day for most (28th) and im sure if it gets pushed for whatever reason they’ll allow entries right up to the morning. Its the worst kept secret where it will be, everybody has known for more than a month. It will sell out again. The council red tape is out of their control and they are expecting approval shortly (i have it on good authority)

Agree, they do a decent enough job on the gram (the only reason i have it) and we try and do our best to circulate around internally and on here. But it is what it is i guess. They still sell out at this stage according to organizers. This one is apparently having some administrative speedbumps related to council permits or something. They are obviously too pre-occupied with politicking at the moment lol. anyway, some new sponsors on board and the previous one at hoogies was well run, even with the unfortunate incident on stage 3. you should come do one again! We can suck together!

@V18 says my hand might turn out like this though? also, i only like these things if i can do them with you @BikeGenie…in 30* + heat?

Maybe we have a daisy chained, piggyback Friday thread after all… Pitchfork mob.. ASSEMBLE!!
