    I think the point is the inconsistency of the rules application. It’s supposed to be a Mtb event. Not sure when the rules shifted to allow gravel bikes or drop bars. I think everyone knowing exactly what the score is would have results in less banter about it

    Hard to tell if compressed but doesn’t look to be too deep into the travel.

    So easy to get camel jumps wrong. Loose the timing and you’re over the front faster than a fast thing

    Definitely a crank length issue there. nasty crash

    Yeah the 6 shot is awesome. I have the MaxxD which is one down in the range . I used mine for 360One in 2023. In Programme2 it ran all night and that was me riding an Mtb, not even racing for a position. Can’t go wrong with Exposure lights. First class service even for a 10 yr old unit. ya the conundrum re tyre choice vs chain stay clearance for chainring. Gearing will always win. But how wide do you reckon is wide enough? For a elite racer vs age grouper vs mid packer vs weekend warrior? im in the 2.0 to 2.2 tyre width mindset which currently means a drop bar hardtail with suspension seat post. But as you say, that means a 100mm suspension fork which is overkill for gravel….

    Good choice of light, probably overkill for the event but more is better in this regard. I think a hardtail MTb with a bigger chainring is the way to go but that will require some phaffing with the axle and chainline. Crankset selection is key and also max rear sprocket. All doable with current parts availability. maybe consider a classified planetary gear rear hub?

    It’s bad enough he broke the law by running the lights , but then he Aggrevates the situation by throwing a full bottle again the windscreen, cracking said windscreen. How he didn’t got m@&$ed is beyond me

    what an oesp!!
  9. DieselnDust
    you mean the crown race? that is usually sold with the headset. But your fork has one bonded in place so why do you need another one? is it not bonded and too big?

    Ooops my bad sorry, confused the Frenchies

    Koretzky is out with several broken bones due to a crash in practice. Ana Santos also but from a crash last week in Germany

    And they say you can’t hear a picture when I can clearly here the theme music from “jaws” playing

    much cheaper to drive to New Avenue, Somerset West

    Nice recovery ride by Roglic. Lets hop he stays upright the rest of the race 🤞

    Marketing as demonstrated by Morne. In terms of width, roller size, link pin size they are the same except for coating.
  19. DieselnDust
    No such thing. 10 speed is 10speed, Shimano, sram, kmc, Taya , road , mtb they all have roughly similar dimensions. It’s only at 12s where the Mtb vs road distinction starts to manifest.
  20. DieselnDust
    If present chain is more than 0.5% I reckon thats your problem. This 0.75% nonsense is just a money making scheme so you replace the whole drivetrain
  21. DieselnDust
    fixed it
  22. DieselnDust
    Ok cool, I recall he was apprehensive of these saddles with a cut out. But with an intact existing cover to work a template from it should be more managable.
  23. DieselnDust
    I dealt with a Gareth O’Brien at Woodstock leather
