    A new Range of SOFT PANNIERS & ROLL BAGS from Desert Fox now in SA

    Cracklin that looks good, do you have any pics and info on how it mounts onto a pannier rack without a dedicated plate? I am curious how it attaches and remains stable on the toad conditions as you highlighted. Thanks

    The "BEN 10" Passes of Rhodes and Barkley East - Updates.

    Morning Guys So yesterday we did Bastervoetpad. Conditions were wet and slippery due to 2 days rain . We were on 2 690s so pushed ahead anyway.

    The "BEN 10" Passes of Rhodes and Barkley East - Updates.

    Hey SpeedMetal Based on that time I would say definitely that is 4x4 times, Benmac you could do in 20-25 mins for example. 2 days is definitely possibly but it will be full days, dont forget the distances between the passes, for example Jouberts pass is a outlier geographically, from there...

    Morning Guys Just to let you know the tyres on Volunteershoek have been covered with gravel and we have also done some other work in the worst sections, so all things being told its fine for bike bikes to go up there now without fear of dropping R25k at your dealer when you home [emoji1787]

    ACR Winter Adv Ride RHODES 7-9 August 2021

    Went down Volunteers yesterday , the bottom 2 sets of tyres have been filled in with dirt and now easily passable, the top 2 sets are still exposed though but they are the easier ones to get over. Naudesnek was fine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
