Thanks brother.

Hey. I have a Silverback Sido 1 dual sus and a Silverback Stride Expert hardtail. The bikes in the video are mostly Scott. But not mine.

Skuldig...😁

😜 Hy probeer.

🤙🏻

😅

I am indeed South African. My accent when talking English is very noticeable seeing as I am Afrikaans. I can say that I have had no problems with the Stride Expert. I ride it more than my soft tail these days. The only bad thing that I can say is that my bike doesn't have through axles bolts. The wheels are secured by those skewers type screws. But no issues with them. The suspension feels great. Hope this helps.

🤘🏻🙏🏻

Tengo un video donde purgo estos frenos específicos, sí. solo echa un vistazo a mi canal.

Thanks! 😁Think I got lucky with this one.

@@WestCoastMountainBiker luck!? brother, you had so much steez doing that, it looked like your 50th that day. that's muscle memory and skill.

Much love my dude. Appreciate it.

Thanks for the comment. 🤘🏻

Nope. The gauge is only to show the pressure in the cannister.

Thanks dude. Appreciate it.

Ah, thank you very much for your comment.

Ah, thank you for your comment. This was totally one of those gatherings that aims to get the community involved. And very positive as well.

Ja. Thanks man.

Glad to hear it. And thanks.

Thanks dude. I appreciate the support.

Thanks. I appreciate it 🙏🏻

Glad to hear it. 🙏🏻

I actually saw two of them. Don't know if there were more. But that is pretty spectacular.

Hey. This year there was many things that made that last climb a tough one. The wind was one of them. I myself got to that point and just went to spin in out. Hope you enjoyed it none the less.

Hey. I'm not sure about the Jo2a brake pads? I think they might be meant for higher end brake calipers, like xtr or something in that region. The best is to remove the old pads and go to a bike shop. Or at least compare it to those in the shop. Or online. Sometimes, they give you an indication on the packaging for brake caliper compatibility.

Thanks. I don't know what you mean by this comment though.

Hey. What do you mean? Your cassette?

Thanks... but what do you mean by this comment?

😂 The gift that keeps on giving. Smaak my jy kort nuwe videos.

@@WestCoastMountainBiker 100%😂

Ek werk daaraan. Moeilik om oral uit te kom. Ek is te ver van al die lekker plekke.

@@WestCoastMountainBikerDis als reg, no pressure

Jis man. Ek weet ek skeep die channel lekker af nou al n lang ruk. Maar eerlik. Ek het die Ride Darling race gedoen en 'n video daarvan gemaak. Maar ook baie goed gedoen daarin. Verbaas toe myself. Het toe begin konsentreer aan my fiksheid en begin gestruktureerde oefen sessies insit en ry toe die Ride and Run Darling race en kom toe 3de. So ek was nou heeltyd in daai roetine. Maar ek is besig om weer te werk aan paar idees. Vir tyd en wyl het ek so paar shorts gedoen. Het ook weer begin skateboard ry. Een van my beste vriende wat saam my skateboard gery het is oorlede onlangs en toe maak dit weer die lus wakker. So ja. Paar verskonings. Maar stay tuned. Sal binnekort weer begin uploads doen. Dankie vir die ondersteuning. Dit beteken baie om te weet daar is mense wat actually my videos kyk. Ek waardeer dit.

Thanks man. It takes little longer now but I feel good flipping my board again.

😂😂 true. I can see many people skipping the intro or the entire video. I thought for sure the transitions between clips would get the most negative comments. Thanks for leaving a comment.

@WestCoastMountainBiker lol , i use to guard the radar at kapteinskop when i was in the airforce so clicked on your vid , the actual vid was pretty good 👍

Ah thanks man. I appreciate the kind words. I just told my wife at this stage of editing I had learnt some new techniques that I wanted to try out. So kind of messed up this video for the viewer by trying to fit everything in this one video. I'm not too proud of it. Watching it now after a few years I can see that it's overkill. But thanks for the feedback. How was the experience working up there? Did you ever have to climb it with a mountain bike? That elevation is hectic. Especially the first 5 or so kilometers.

@@WestCoastMountainBiker Fortunately not , I guarded it twice , nearly hang glided off it ( well it was discussed ) . The views were incredible , the height was breathtaking . Im sure it could be regarded as one of the best ( hardest ) MTN Bike runs in the western cape ?

I wouldn't go that far. But maybe the West Coast area. Really spectacular views on a nice day with no cloud cover. There is a B&B up there now. Potkook. They built some nice mtb trails there. I've only done them once though.

True story. 👍🏻

😜👌🏻

Hey thanks for the comment. I'm not sure about the football. But I'd give it a try.

This is in my local town called Vredenburg. It's in the West Coast of the Western Province of South Africa.

Yes. This was an awesome experience/achievement. I have yet to tell the story but it was not all smooth sailing. But I am proud of the end result. In the back of my mind I wonder what could have happened had I actually given it full gas from the start line.

@@WestCoastMountainBiker oh okay

That's good information. I am off the indoor training apps for now. Weather is good and training outdoors are much more satisfying.

Awe awe. 🤙🏻

@@WestCoastMountainBiker wmj??

@@max.TH-cam2139 😅 ek sit by die werk jong man.

O ok ek is klaar met my eksamens so ek hoef nie skool toe te gaan nie

@@max.TH-cam2139 dis cool. Geniet maar die tyd op skool. Grootmens lewe is baie hard.

Got lucky on this one. It ended up being more of a joke with everyone laughing than a situation where everyone is in shock and the trip ends up in the hospital.

@@WestCoastMountainBiker oh srry

😅 just goes to show how much hammering those trails do to your bike.

@@WestCoastMountainBiker 🤣

Awesome. Ek moet ook slag weer soontoe gaan. Lanklaas.

@@WestCoastMountainBiker ja ek ry 'n full sus so dit was baie smooth

Lekker. Watse bike ry jy?

@@WestCoastMountainBiker silverback

Dis nou toevallig. Ek ry die sido 1

That's true. I used to ride with an extra inner tube for that exact reason. Just to get home. So if the sealant doesn't work and the tire plug fails as well, I try to stick a piece of paper on the inside where the cut is and then fit an innertube. In a perfect world we wouldn't need any of this.

Unfortunately I don't know the answer to that question. I can only say that using Rouvy I managed to overtake some other riders that were busy on the same route. And I was also using my soft tail XC mountain bike. But I never knew which bike they were using. But it could be nice if they paired same type bikes on the same routes. Especially if you want to compare yourself to others. I use strava as well and it's the same story. Same segment... but road bikes usually take the segments on the road.

@@WestCoastMountainBiker ok, thank you. I'm new to trainers so I'm probably overthinking this.

@sir_micho no worries. I personally prefer riding outdoors but I enjoy having the option to carry on training or exercising if the outdoors doesn't permit optimal training conditions.

Same here, I never experienced issues with Rouvy and really enjoy the app. I also use the training plans for the winter.

😜 Nice eye. And poorly done as well. 🤷‍♂️

No! It was a Very good transition❤

Thanks man. I appreciate the kind words.

Ur welcome

Thanks man. 😊

Dankie Ian. Ek wil baie graag weer by een of ander Bike Park uit kom. Die weër is net bietjie onplesierig die laaste ruk. Maar dankie vir die ondersteuning.

Thanks a lot. Really appreciate the feedback.

Thanks dude. This was a year ago. So I am doing great. It will never be the same as before but I'm just happy it wasn't worse. My saving grace was my helmet. I had a pretty nasty bump on the head as well.

Best to have them and not need them than need them and not have them. Glad you can make use of the video.

Jis man. Jy maak my lekker jaloers. Ek gaan ongelukkig nie die jaar deelneem nie. Dis bietjie van 'n logistieke nagmerrie. Ek was gelukkig om verblyf te kon geniet saam met my pa hulle wat van 2020 af tot 2022 vakansie tyddeel geniet het in die area. So vir die 3 jaar het ek transport en verblyf gehad. Maar die jaar is daar nie geld nie. Te veel ander dinge wat moet gebeur. Jis ek moet sê 2019 was die weër so rof dat ek nie eers die heuwels gevoel het nie. Persoonlik het ek baie goed gery maar, die eerste 50km van die resies het ek saam met my broer en suster gery wat nie eintlik fiets ry nie. Op 50km toe klim hulle op 'n lorrie en ek trap toe verder op my eie. Wil dit graag nog een keer doen met goeie weër maar ongelukkig nie die jaar nie. Sterkte vir jou. Dis maar moeilik om voor te berei in die winter maande.

@@WestCoastMountainBiker Ai! Dis nou jammer dat jy dit gaan mis. Ek hoop ook maar vir goeie weer....en dat my voorbereiding genoeg sal wees. Ek het darem 'n goeie indoor trainer waarmee ek op Zwift kan oefen wanneer die weer so koud at is... so daar is nie verskoning nie :) Dit is maar 'n logistieke nagmerrie met races wat by punt A begin en punt B eindig. Ons het laas jaar in die perdestalle geslaap...maar ek weet nie of ons die jaar dit weer gaan doen nie.... besluit nog. Andersins moet ons maar 'n lift reel om ons daar te gaan aflaai in die oggend. 2022 se weer was eintlik baie lekker....en as ons dit weer so kan kry, sal ek glad nie omgee nie. Ek vat eerder klein bietjie koel en klam....as 35*C. Ek ry saam met iemand wat die jaar sy 10de ene doen....so hopelik stel ek hom nie teleur nie...en kan by hom bly. :) Sterkte daar...en dalk sien ons jou op die volgende ene.

Ek moet plan maak vir volgende jaar. Mens is meer gemotiveerd as jy iets het om voor te oefen. Van die winter begin het sukkel ek maar om aan die gang te bly. Ja nee ek trap nie lekker in die hitte nie. Veral nie die mtb nommers nie. Dan is dit net sweet en stof. Geniet hom. Baie mooi wêreld om in te trap. Dis 'n voorreg.
