Hayes Stroker Ryde Disc Brake Review
Despite my many years in MTB I have never actually had Hayes Disc Brakes. And since Hayes has been a stalwart of MTB braking it is definitely high time for me to give them the proverbial stroke.

Mountain Bike Fork Reviews - Marzocchi, Rochshox and FOX
Rock Shox, Marzocchi, FOX, Rock Shox, Marzocchi - 6 forks in 5 years! During the last 5 years I have been able to own and try out a variety of forks. Each time I changed from one brand to the next so this is a great opportunity to do Rock Shox, FOX and Marzocchi fork comparison.
The mountain biking singletrack Eselfontein is legendry. Tucked away at the end of a dusty road up in the mountains of Ceres lies this little piece of singletrack heaven.
The Argus mountain bike challenge held at Boschendal must be the biggest MTB race at the moment. There were four distances to choose from and that’s probably why almost 3500 riders entered.
For the first time The Herald mountain bike race took place at the Addo Elephant Park outside of PE. At this time of year one can normally expect scorching temperatures
Mountain bike recreation and social riding is making serious in roads in South Africa. More and more riders are looking for mountain biking venues and trails rather than races. In the last two years a lot of progress has been made in SA with more and more marked mountain bike trails as well as the appearance of some mountain bike parks.
When you take the frame out of the box, you immediately have a “red bicycle for Christmas” feeling. The frames are very striking. The decals are not covered by a clear coat. This adds to the raw, hardcore kind of sentiment that, I for one, associate with the brand. Intense are one of the few companies still making their frames in the states.
MtbOnline now has a range of Oakley and Adidas mountain bike sunglasses available to purchase online. We have selected the best models from the range and the most suitable cycling eye wear for the trail.
Mountain Bike Adrenalin PS2 game makes mountain biking easier than it has ever been. Just hook up your Sony PlayStation and improve your skills, free-ride, race XC and downhill with the new mountain biking game.
I returned for my second Lourensford mountain bike race and really enjoyed it. The last time I did Lourensford it was in 2004 in the wet and it was a very different race ....
An inspirational and practical guide to finishing the Cape Epic. It is also useful as a training program and guide for mountain bike races and stage races in general.
These last few weeks I have been fortunate enough to ride on some new trails and try out some new bikes. It reminded me how interesting and varied mountain biking really is.
Bike design is where it is at these days.Trek has followed some of the design cues from Specialized with their new all-mountain bike the Remedy. Released at Interbike 2008 the Trek Remedy looks good.
A carbon fiber hardtail mountain bike, single speed and foldable bike all in one. That is the all new Ibis Tranny, a super versatile light weight bike from the cool Ibis crowd. It will be in SA in early 2008.
Adjusting and setting your mountain bike gears is really quite a simple bike maintenance procedure. There are a few basic rules that need to be followed in order to understand what should be setup and what should be adjusted.
It has been quite a few years since I had last done the Karoo to Coast race. I had completed it twice before, once in the pouring rain and once on a perfect day. So I knew that we could expect anything from the weather.
Ibis has improved on their already light full carbon 5.5 inch trail bike. For 2008 the Ibis Mojo is barely managing to tip the scales. This beauty is also going to be available in SA.
The Meta has some very relaxed angles and coming off a hardtail I felt like I was lying in bed. But when things got nasty on the trail, it just simply soaks everything up and you never have the feeling that you might go over the bars.
Mountain bike gears are a critical part of the bike, they work the hardest and are one of the main reasons why mountain bikes can go where they do. Poor gear shifting and mis-shifts are probably the biggest bike maintenance issue that you will find. Understanding how and why you can have gear shifting problems will help to prevent them.
Maintaining your own bike is not nearly as complicated as it seems. A good way to learn is to start slowly, gain confidence and build up a set of tools as you progress. If your bike needs a service, consider spending the money buying a couple of tools and then do it yourself.

The Transbaviaans is not for sissies! It is the longest single stage race in the world. It could be a lot tougher. There is only 2600m climbing over the 230km. But, I think it is perfect.
The Absa Cape Epic 2008 machine has started up. The 2008 entries had to be paid by 15 August. So for those who acted on their lottery tickets there is no turning back.
The Stellenbosch MTB challenge in its second year was as muddy if not more so than the first year and had around 2000 dirty mountain bikers to show for it.

We get the low down on the changes, new models and the full range. Check out the new 2008 Raleigh Bikes and the link to the downloadable catalogue.
Chain cleaning is part of the bike washing process and is probably the most important part of mountain bike maintenance. A dirty chain means shorter chain life, poorer shifting and a noisy drive train. There are many ways to clean a bicycle chain.
A mountain bike wash is the best thing you can do for your bike and is the second step to good mountain bike maintenance. It keeps it clean, looking new and makes it easier to spot damage and to do a service.
Cannondale Vredestein team are busy riding a new version of the Scalpel XC race bike. With a new shock configuration and possible all carbon frame on the way, this will be a bike to look out for
