Gauteng in its not-so-ugly phase.

Take out gap cover for the burn wound on your inner right leg too 😊

Put a set of the Cinturato 45s on Black Inc 20s - think they are awesome and give the best roll over a variety of surfaces.

Hi. Does anyone have first hand info on the condition of the road and the corrugations on the drags after Beestekraal ?

Wish I knew the answer. Did a gravel race 2 years ago on my Checkpoint and suffered a lot. Did the same route this weekend pushing along on the hardtail, which felt a lot easier. Time difference over a 100km segment was 36 seconds 🤦🏻‍♂️

185cm with 90cm inseam - 58 Emonda and Checkpoint. My guess would be a 56

Have a Supercaliber (dream bike). Later got Procaliber for training rides on the roads around home. Have had the opportunity to compare my segments on both bikes over 1000s of km. For me, when it gets twisty and bumpy, the dual is quicker for less effort. When the road goes uphill, the HT gets there quicker. I love both, but suspect that had I bought the Procaliber first, it would have been my only bike.

Anyone know what will come of the series now that the Satellite Classic is cancelled ?

Does anyone have any info on how "gravel friendly" the 160km event is ?

Bring back Navworld, they provided super service.

Same signage at Emperors - also sheer madness with traffic lights, gatvol motorists and overworked marshals near the end.

I use a small curtain hook with a string on. Fasten the curtain hook into the far end of the hose before pulling it through the frame. When it comes out of the frame, the hook with the string will follow. Then fasten the hook into the new hose and pull the string back through the frame until the new hose come out the far end. Works a charm.

Had same problem. Got punch from Builders and tapped it repeatedly over a couple of days with lots of muti to loosen it up. All was well in the end.
