GORE Ride On Cable review
I am going to start off this review by saying that the GORE Ride On Cable upgrade has been the best upgrade I have done to my bike. In a close second I would put my tubeless tyre conversion. These cables have a hefty price tag, roughly R750 but you will make your money back very quickly after you would have replaced your usual cables for the umpteenth time.

Team MTN Qhubeka announced for 2011
Next year MTN-Qhubeka will have a somewhat different name but their goal will remain the same.
For the riders in yellow it does not matter whether they race on tar or on dirt or even fly over jumps during BMX-races. Their goal will always be to do the best they can.
