Does anyone have a start list and starting times for the various groups for this event?

Good news indeed????

Just received confirmation that paid online entries will be able to collect numbers on the morning of race day...

Does anyone know why registration cannot be done before the start? Driving from Secunda makes it difficult to pick up the number on the Friday...

This was an awesome, but tough event... need to get a dual suss, as my body was not enjoying the technical decends on day 3 any more!

How much climbing is there per stage? Looking forward, first stage race!

where did you get the giro shoes at half price?

I have to agree. Those rocky descends were not ideal for beginners, with no real place for people walking them to get out of the way.

Not cool. Did he make it to the finish? Maybe he is still in the bush

I'm done. Absolute beast of a route. No place to recover. Rocky loose climbs, and lekker thick sand to control/limit speed on the decends. And those grass polls, I need a dual suspension. And those short rocky climbs in the last 7km was a good test of my sense of humor...

Sold out again? I entered early this morning.

Yes! They opened a few more 70km entries!

Just pace yourself.Definitely not a gravel travel 70km. The terrain is the real killer, not the distance or climbing. Lots of thick sand and lots and lots of rocks.

I also need an entry please... 70km full...

I tried to enter online now, but only short distances are given as entry options. Is the 70km sold out???

Needed a circlip plier to remove circlip... Only on the slr version

Thanks Fanie, maar dit is die 26er wiele. Myne het n tipe spacer wat agter die bearing kom op die disc kant. Op die drawings lyk dit of altwee bearings vanaf die non disc kant ingesit moet word. Ekt net nie n idee hoe om die spacer uit te kry nie. Die spacer lyk soos n driekwart sirkel met n gap. Ek vermoed ek moet sy twee punte namekaar druk, maar dis makliker gesê as gedoen.

Hi. I need help removing the front wheel bearings. It seems like the disc side bearing has a spacer at the back and does not look like it can be just tapped outwards?

Same day as Magalies Monster

I luckily received a funnel with my previous bike, but apparently they are hard to find. Then I just bought a syringe from dischem (R10) and some fish tank air tubing (R5). Just make sure to use the Shimano mineral oil. (R160/50mL)

Glad I did not bugger the seals...Manual on their web site still shows bleeding from the bottom? Just glad it is working again.

I struggled with my rear xt brake which was spongy. Even after bleeding the brake from the caliper to the funnel it was still spongy. I then finally removed the caliper from the frame and then bled it from the top funnel towards the calliper. That forced a lot of air bubbles from the caliper. Feels like a new brake now

Oh I fitted the chain using the big chainring method without running chain through deraileur, but then added 4 links instead of two...

hi guys. Please help! I'm running 1x10 with xt medium cage shadow deraileur and 32t leo daisy front chainring. Works like a dream, but I have had three chain drops on rocky sections. I might have been conservative with the chain length, should I remove another link?

You need to remove the old rim tape.
