I just came back from St Lucia from a week’s holiday last week. It is the best coast holiday I have had for years and years. The town is spotless, and everyone is super friendly. Loads of activities and restaurants and the beaches and parking lots and toilets were clean and neat. And the fishing...

Ek kan vir seker vir Dubun aanbeveel, het al baie bike kit by hulle last regmaak. Hulle pryse is wel duur, maar hulle werk is kwaliteit.

Kan jy dalk ‘n gpx file vir hierdie ene deel miskien aub?

Ek sal dit erken, ek is waarskynlik die grootste brand whore wat ek ken! @Tman21 kan jy inspring hier? 😂

Get yourself a virtual mailbox in the USA at something like Shop-and-ship or Aramex Global Shopper. Then Revzilla ships domestic USPS shipping to your virtual address in the USA, and then the mailbox provider courier it to you in SA and you avoid having to go via SA Post Office here in SA. I...

Please forgive my ignorance, but is it then so that after-market rims are stronger because they are narrower than the OEM rims? I thought that after market rims were stronger only because of made of stronger metal, I did not realise that narrower also equals stronger?

Wel, ek het my vroeë Kersfees present pakkie van my aan my gekry. Dit LYK kak mooi, sal weer post as ek die wiel klaar laat bou het en dan weer die oomblik van waarheid of ek hom kan wen teen 130+ km/u op ‘n Jeep highway haha 😬

Baie dankie vir die info Subie, ek sal maar moet gaan kyk hoe doen die 1290 daar dan (y) Ek sukkel ook die afgelope jaar of so om my GPS te kan lees as ek ry,. Ek het nou 'n spesiale voorskrif bril by my oogkundige laat maak met 'n baie ligte raam wat in my helmet pas, spesifiek vir bike ry. Dis...

How many km’s have the tyres done?

@subie Kan jy dalk aub meer uitbrei oor die stuk tussen Bray en Molopo Natuurreservaat? Ek dink daaraan om miskien in November hierdie roete te ry, maar ek is op 'n 1290, ek neem aan van jou post dat ek nie verder as Bray moet ry met hom nie, te grrot dalk?

Dankie, dit moet dan wees, ek het nogal nagevors, maar ek kry min reports van die selfde probleem op die 890's.

Dankie, so ek wonder dan of die 890 ouens ook ondervind dat die stock stock rims so sag is? Of is dit die ekstra gewig op die 1290 wat maak dat die seflde rims as op die 890 soveel skade kry op die 1290's, wonder ek?

Ek dink die 1290 se OEM rims is Akront rims, terwyl die 890 uitkom met DID DirtStar rims. Die after-market rims wat ek bestel het vir my 1290 om die Akront rim voor te vervang is 'n Alpina rim.

Se die pot vir die ketel! 😆

It is still an expensive purchase for a bike that is already as expensive as it is, but this bike is THAT much fun on dirt roads at speed, that I for one will pay it. Apparently the Alpina rims were stock on some SMT motard bikes so they are quite strong apparently, and the big advantage is that...

I paid R14,046.00, from Alpina's UK distributor, shipping to an address in the UK. This is for a built front wheel, incl rim, nipples, spokes and hub. The stock rotors, axle, ABS ring, etc will come off my current OEM wheel. I didn't order a rear, only a front wheel. I haven't received my order...

Even though I got my front wheel repaired under insurance, and I will not drop my tyre pressures again, I have still decided to buy an after-market front rim. I have decided on the Alpina option: https://www.king-wheels.com/shop/alpina/ktm/ktm-1090-1290-adventure-alpina-aluminium/ It is...

I have a 20211290 Super Adv R, having previously had a 690, 790 Adv R and a 990. On the whole I am VERY happy with my 1290 and am keeping it for sure, but there are two issues which I have come across after I bought my bike and which you can research on the internet and decide for yourself in...

Yes, I am currently looking at just sourcing a rim only, apparently the wait for the Powerparts wheel set is several months, so that doesn’t seem to be an option. I actually only suffered smileys on the front rim, the rear rim is still fine.

Thanks, I also run Mitas E07+ front and rear. I will try keeping the pressure up to what the book says when I get my bike back and see what happens. Did you have a repeat of the problem after you started running 2.5 as standard?
