Did it on a SS rigid this year... Never walked that much in my life Geared for me next year... Maybe

Hi There This morning I cycled the Engen Classic loop in Randburg, the loop the most of the jozy guys do in the mornings. So, this guy was standing in the middle of the road, trying to make me stop by showing his reflective vest underneath his jacket. I managed to get around him but should have turned around. He was either drunk or high but did not stick around to find out. It happened in front of the Caltex garage on Bram Fischer Dr., 300 meters before the DSTV offices. There is also a used car dealership on the other side. Anybody else ran into this guy ? Just be aware guys and girls Narra

Size?

Thanks slowbee, dit search but found not what I wanted...

Hi there Anybody here that did the Atta on a SS. Please share your config. Mine was Surly KM rigid, 34x20. It was tough going, main aim was to finish and I did in 10:50 Now how to do it faster next year ;-)

Also did it with the Surly SS, 34x16. 4:48. Rode in a charity bunch, 4U Allot of fun, definitely again next year

Ag ***... I only discover this thread now Wanted to replace my Bandersnatch with a Jaberwocky but also wanted to pair up with somebody to get them in. I ended up getting a Surly KM from Grant. Pics will appear when bike is ready. It is very camera shy. Awesome bike and congrats. At least I am not the only one in SA with a Vassago frame anymore.

Howdy So for all those guys/girls that analyze their coffee rides like me, and struggle to keep up with all your friends on different services. I found this site the other day. Can sync between garmin, endo, strava and a couple more. Works like a charm. https://tapiriik.com/ Ciao Nar

Me... Solo entry... Vassago SS

Hi Vassago is not at a good place at the moment. They had some issues and apparently the company is going to re launch in 2013. Will have to wait and see. It is a shame because i wanted to buy another frame from them. Nothing wrong with my Bandersnatch, solid and I like the geometry. Ciao Narra

Looks like fun, count me in...

Clover Tour? Also enjoyed Panorama Tour, suffered like hel but the weekend was just awesome, is already planning for next year.

Also doing it, got a score to settle after last year very long day in the saddle. btw, you have to be granny gear fit if you are going to use it My plan is to incorporate at least 2 looong climbs on my training rides. Enjoy the Des training Nar

Will be there...

It seem that these guys are after a fast buck. Cyclist is an easy target. I don't even think the worry about the bike. Cell phone and other valuables ? Disgrace that things is coming to this...

Glad your OK... But I don't even driver with a car on that road... Nar

Hey there Anybody put a belt driven SS together? Was it difficult and what is the cost? Ciao Nardus

I think they recommend 32x16 for 26 inch wheels and 32x18 for 29ers. This is if you start out with SS.

Doing the 106 one and will regret is most probably. 32-16, 29er

I did it in 4:05 and endomondo did it in 3:55 with auto resume on. Also got about 68.5.

And how was it ? Enjoyed it, same time as last year on my geared rig. Not an easy race, you never get time to rest. I knew the route from last year so did not get lost or took a short cut. Got stuck behind the 40 km guys, did not bother me because I was in any case not going to win and was nice to walk/rest a bit. But what I did notice was that I was not so buggered like last year at the end, could have rode for another 20 km. Must be the SS effect. Ciao Nar

don't even mention the 2X10 riders
