    Piggs Peak Swaziland guesthouse recommendation

    Hi Losper You can try Phophonyane Fall lodge - very close to PP. I haven't stayed there in recent years but stopped there for a beer a few years ago and still looked decent. No idea about rates..

    Economically adventurizing a EXC 500

    Economically adventurizing a EXC 500

    Correct Martin - Its a cure and do not prevent the dirt to enter. I have used neoprene socks before on my enduro bike and stopped because it just becomes another trap for dirt and needs to be cleaned regularly too. Now I just clean my seals after every ride and very rarely have leaking seals...

    Economically adventurizing a EXC 500

    I got this product from Runner. "Seal doctor". I saw it on Lyndon Poskitt's bike. You use it to clean the seal if you pick up a leak due to dirt behind the seal. A better solution imo https://shop.riskracing.com/products/seal-doctor

    Can we get some tips on our ride?

    I would suggest that you read up on "ride reports" of guys that have done rides in the area and then make your decisions. Xpat is one of the guys that have done extensive travels in those areas and wrote excellent ride reports. (one of his reports will give you the Tsumkwe fuel answer...I can't...

    Gearing a te610

    Standard gearing of 15/45 is a good all rounder ratio - Bike revs 4300rpm @ 100kph 14/47 will give you serious technical climbing abilities but will reduce cruising ability - Bike will rev 4800rpm @ 100kph I use 14/45 when I do Lesotho trip - Bike will rev 4500rpm @ 100kph For a high speed...
