K i use water on rides, but what else. I do long rides and stage races.

Want to find out what energy product hubbers use. I know its what works for u, but i only know USN Cyto Powder and Epic Pro.. I cant use vooma as its spike me and then im lying on the floor. And i dont know if usn works for me Now people is recomending 32GI or Biogen and FIT. I cant use anything thats spikes, what is the best product?

its quite difficult to choose

Thtats what im saying, but im almost the only 1 in our group with a 26er, and they kill me at some places on rides, so everyine says its because of the big wheels

very nice

i I am more a marathon/stage race rider, scott and specialised is most common....

I have a Scott 26er Spark 30 Carbon. I want the 940 but its alu. Love the colours but just the weight.... So it feels that to go for alu after u had a Carbon, feels like downgrade!!! And my 26er weighs just under 11kg, now i have to get a 29er wwhich weighs 12kg!!!

Im in to buy myself a 29er? My budget is 30k but can go a bit higher. I need a large. I were looking at the following : Scott 920 @ 12.1kg @ 31k Scott 940 @ 12.6kg @ 21k Specialised Camber @ 12.7kg @ 31k I cant decide on what to get!!!!! Any advice help????

Thanx Guys, i have treid all of the above and it is going better. Went to a physio and said rest, so i rested 3 weeks, but with no cure, did setup again, but pain still exsists no as much anymore but i can still feel it. Getting a roller this weekend quick. Wants to get in at Jeroen Swart but how? I prob overtrained it for Transbaviaans, and now is paying for it. i fell 6 weeks before Trans and hurt my inside muscle(around the knee) but went for physio and injections and kept training. After Trans the inside muscles is ok, but now outside is a problem. So now physio said i must go for injections again, maybe it will sort it out.

I have checked the setup a couple of times. Everyone said Jeroen Swart is the best, but how do u get in by him?

Thanx man, doing that strecth everyday now, will c how it goes.

Looking for help or any info. Im having incredibly bad pain on my left ITB. It started suddenly. What exercises can i do, must i strap it, setup......?

Stefan from West Rand Cycles, he builds all Buycycle stuff

Just go for a 650B. Best of both worlds!!!

Funny people

Jees like, sounds heavy nice, but also scaring me big time!!!! My first TB and first race/adventure with the distance!!! Will i ever know if im ready, fit enough.... Dont train 230km!?!?!?!?!?

Gonna be there!!! If all goes well. Doing all 5 again this year. Pity race packs a bit small, when we did get?!?!?!

Im also going for the 27.5 wheels. Set of wheels make a big difference, get a other set, the dt Swiss is good reliable wheels as i also have with my Scott, but since getting STANS its like so much easier etc. Brakes need to be 100%. Juicy is what i found to work the best for us.

Def Scott Scale Elite

Nice race, try to do complete series, did 40km last year, going for 70km this year.

Always a quarel about wheel size. Jip, it will fit Scott Spark back stay, but maybe not the front fork. I also have the Scott Spark Carbon, and is a great bike, and im also going to fit 650b wheels. Need to change shock, but its still cheaper to do as get a new bike either 650b bike and 29er. 650b according to me is best of both worlds and no disadvantages. Im in no hurry to get it, but ill get it!!

Always just had bad service, we don't eat there anymore and only ride!!!
