  1. Morning all, I’ve had some serious crashes in the last couple of years. 2018 Fractured 3x vertebrae and was out for almost the entire year just recovering. Last year broke 2 ribs coming down the back of Hoogies. I’m 40 now and I have no plan on stopping cycling. But there definitely comes a point where you have to weight up the rewards vs the impact of your sport. I’m not 16 anymore and my body can’t handle taking the big hits anymore. So like so many posted just dial it back a little to be more in control. Also it’s very tempting when you see your mates or the younger crowd doing the gap jumps and whipping through the turns. To suddenly disregard safty or your skill level and taking on more than you can handle. All I can say in my experience is learn the trails before you bomb down them. If it’s a new trail walk the line and make sure you know what you getting into. And happy cycling to everyone out there.
  2. Evening guys, Wilhelm here from Cape Town. I just got a quick question for anyone able to assist. I just broke my tubeless valve stem while inflating my tire. I'm on holiday in citrusdal at the moment, anyone know where I might be able to buy a new one in these parts.
