    I have the XT setup and it really is set and forget accept for the odd cable replacement, but that’s just normal wear and tear. Stick with it, if it ain’t broken don’t fix it.

    Well seeing that its Friday. I compared my scale to the Revolt's geometry and it seems like to Revolt will be more comfortable than my scale, twitchy but more comfortable with the higher stack and shorter reach.

    Wow how bikes have changed in the past 10 years. Don’t mind me just just squeezing in 2.2s in the back of my 2014 Scott scale. Gravel bikes are really starting to blur the lines between what is considered a mountain bike and a gravel bike.

    As a man of stats myself I would be very interested in this information

    Here is an example of a carbon Titan switch built up with the new Shimano 105 12 Speed Groupo. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/gravel-bikes/755843/titan-switch-carbon-xl Sad I missed out in this deal Is there a limit on chainring sizes for the gravel bikes?

    Following this post with an eagle eye. I “need” one as well. How about the Giant Revolt Advance? It has 53mm clearance and they look very cool.

    Too soon to ask when the seedings will be updated?

    Oh wow now im digging through my contacts to find someone flying from the UK to South Africa

    Ah but doesn’t the enjoyment lie in the fact that you put in time prepping for the race, getting your nutrition sorted and on the day leaving it all out on the course? Crossing the line KNOWING you had nothing left in the tank and getting the dopamine rush from the realization of what you accomplished today?

    My PR from a few years back is still haunting me at 3:01.

    How does one get into the & group, do you need a racing license? or would a 1A seeding be the safer option when chasing a sub 3 purely looking at group size?
  12. PappaWatTrap
    Well done. Today was my 9th and I have the same goal to hit that sub 3 number on my 10th.
  13. PappaWatTrap
    Thanks will try it

    Very impulsive decision to enter last night. Most unfit I’ve been for the joyride world championships so let’s see how far muscle memory and carbs can bring me😅

    Someone with a shimano 10 speed road shifter laying around? My Ultegra shifters are starting to miss shifts down where it just doesn’t click
