  1. I use the Wahoo Kikr Snap with bluetooth. I was very skeptical about using Zwift vs Reality, however, after the first ride, I am totally converted. I have been using the Kikr Snap since August and managed to maintain my regular cycling routine, despite weather or traffic elements and possible criminal elements. When I ride my mountain bike on the trail, there is a definite improvement from the Smart trainer's input. The possibilities with Zwift are practically endless, I would definitely advise that you go for it.
  2. Just be warned that you do not attempt to knock out the an angular contact bearing with a punch - the bearing will break and leave the OD race still firmly pressed inside the housing and you will have to take it to a bike shop with a proper extractor tool to remove it.
  3. A correction is that the crankset is 1 x RaceFace turbine not Shimano XT 1x. This was a later change after the specs were announced for their website and catalogue. We have since sold one and have interest in more and you can't afford it but want a similar quality ride, the Silverback Sprada 1 is worth looking at for R44k, just as sexy, but in aluminium skin not carbon. Contact us if you are interested in ordering one. Cycleworx Langebaan
  4. Rode a Mongoose Argus from Jan 2015 - June 2016 whilst waiting for my Silverback double scoop. Was absolutely hooked on the first ride. Different strokes for different folks. Its a year later and I am still using my fatty as my primary bike. Received my Silverback Double Scoop after selling my Mongoose Argus and added Rockshox Bluto fork to it, this was even better despite increasing the weight from 16kg - 17kg. I ride my Silverback as a primary bike, do most of my training on it, have done most of my racing on it irrespective of whether its on the sand or XC its an awesome bike. You get used to the fatty and it does build strength and stamina. There is no reason it can't be a primary bike. Having said that if you are looking for a fairly good secondary bike and you can afford the R6500 for the Surge its a worthy purchase. The bike comes with 3x8 acera and can be upgraded as the rear hub is a free hub. Unfortunately its a straight steer head tube and thus you will have to source a sus fork if you want one, but its not necessary for a secondary bike. I have sold a lot of fatties and have access to plenty of spares for them. R6500 is a good deal. I have a large one left in stock if you're interested and can PM me.
  5. Trail trailer Trail review https://www.facebook.com/CycleWorxLangebaan Go visit this trail, you'll have a blast.
  6. Who cycled the 50 miler and how did you find it? It's a deceiving ride, the first 50 odd km are pretty "easy" and then the animal is unleashed with the mother of all climbs a likened to Karoo to Coast climbs. Enjoyed it, thanks to the organisers.
  7. Hi There are some factors that could influence battery drain: 1) please check your plug contact points make sure they are clean and the contact points of the battery to the light, if there is any dirt in any form this can inhibit battery charge power and also battery drain. 2) please also understand that variables such as temperature fluctuations can affect battery output. Colder temperatures will affect battery power and drain the battery a lot quicker than it is rated. Kind Regards
