Thanks! Ended up leaving my bike at home due to a lack of space for my stuff in the car. I'll try rent a bike and helmet in PE and check them out!

I'm driving down to PE tomorrow for 2 weeks - wondering whether it's worth strapping my bike to the car. Any good trails there, and are they safe to ride alone? Thanks!

The outside arm broke during a ride yesterday, I think a rock pinged off my front wheel into it. Carbon vs rock, rock won. Did a bit of googling and can't seem to find replacement outer arms - anyone got a spare one laying around from a derailleur that failed otherwise? Would the outer arm from say a GX or NX derailleur work on XX1? I presume a carbon repair wouldn't work as the arm length needs to be precise. Would anyone want spare parts from this if I replace it? Thx

There's nothing wrong with that as a starter bike and it will do what you need it to do, as you described above. Just go out and ride it!

Are you going to rent a bike while there or bring yours? I heard they can be quite picky on it having to be ultra clean when you bring it in.

Damn that is looooooooooooooooooong!

What freehub is it? My freehub died in a way that the ratchets don't disengage and it causes chainsuck and pulls the chain off the chain ring, pulls the derailleur forward, all your symptoms. Would be a good place to start looking. Does it freewheel fine when your rolling along at speed? Does it cause issues if you back pedal at speed?

Is that a strava segment?

@100Tours, I know a great skills coach who can help you with little bumps and jumps on the trails.

Red or black please. Thanks!!

Hope pro 4 142x12 32h rear hub? ????

If you're in gauteng, take it past cogent industries for a checkup.

Damn that slade is awesome. Seriously tempting me to replace my hornet with one of those.

HI Cois, all the best for the treatment. I'm praying for you mate.

Drop your heels over the Rocky stuff and if you have a dropper get it down and out the way when you're shredding the gnar.
