A hardtail is always awesome when you need to put down instant power for a sprint, or getting away from a chasing dog. Since i got my Scott wc that Tri Lock must be [for me] the best lock out system ever. Once it is locked out, my bike basically feels like a hardtail. I often do long road sections, or long road uphill's, locked out, way more efficient in my view, or for me. I know i am not really answering your question. But i am not really sure what you want. A hardtail though is so much fund, even a locked out dual cant replicate it, but as i said, if its about saving weight, not really sure the way forward for you [excuse the pun]

On the subject of helmets, it seems having a peak on an mtb helmet seems old school? Seems more people ride 'road type' helmets or no peak helmets nowadays, why is this?

How is Jan 'new teeth' withaar doing?

What does decal kits cost like this more or less?

My take after stage 2 First time Nino has had a proper partner, i like these two gents, got a feeling they might win this, or second. Worried about Mat's partner, did you see how Mat looks a tad irritated after the stages, as if he knows he could have had a stronger guy with him, time will tell. Bufmega are MEGA, they are always making jokes, these guys are strong, think they might take this. Speed company, not sure at all, you never know, they might spring to life soon. Tristen, honey comb, really hope they stay strong and try get closer to the above gents. Punctures, breakdowns, can change everything. I see Nino is STILL on Aspens, hope they last. Woman......i think Candice could have got a stronger partner, maybe taller as well 😐 But time will tell. I think Ghost and Spez teams might take this, but really hoping Candice and Mona hang in there and maybe surprise everyone.

This is deep......

Cool write up. I have an old one 😐 the neon yellow rc900 world cup, think 3 years old, still puts a smile on my face every time. Would love a new one though.

I used Wiggle three times, always so easy to navigate and to order, and very fast delivery, this is actually a pity. Scary times in the world, in SA as well. Middle class is disappearing, everyone fighting just to stay alive, and the rich, are just getting richer.

Einhorn is Finkle Finkle IS Einhorn

How long did he wait after he applied the stuff. I normally wash, then hose off each part of what i washed, i do the same when i wash my car. Or did he wash / apply the stuff, wait a bit, then hose off, then he noticed the problem?

Hard Tails, well done!

I regularly see her name pop up in the news, amazing how she does it. To be that quick, top 6, men and woman, that is scary fit. I don't know what to say to be honest, maybe she trains everyday and is super fit. But she does basically beat any other woman racer almost every time hands down. And to do that at 50 is remarkable.

When i did a bike fit they gave me 3 x test saddles, rode around a week or so, found out which one worked. To be honest, it worked from the get go, its not about 'getting used' to a saddle, it must feel comfy from day 1. Also, they did a proper sit bones measure and so on. I ended up with the Spez Phenom, my but did not enjoy the power saddle. Played around for 2 x weeks with regards to small tilts, up, down, until i felt 100%.

I would put the Silver back

Thats a massive ride you did, long way back, maybe you will see some of the riders riding in the Momentum Medical Scheme Cape Pioneer Trek, presented by Biogen on your way back to George. 😁

I think the Momentum Medical Scheme Cape Pioneer Trek, presented by Biogen is going to be an amazing race. Very windy conditions today in George and surrounds for everyone competing in the Momentum Medical Scheme Cape Pioneer Trek, presented by Biogen. At least its not raining.

Shew......oh boy, does not look good. Has anyone received a refund yet?

Between 15k and 20k, and please if you sell, use bike hub pay

Does anyone run Maxxis Aspens 2.25 x 29. I have a set, brand new, still in packaging, not sure what they go for, around R800 for the pair, if anyone is interested.

Hi guys, it looks like my wife will need to sell her scott spark contessa rc900 world cup. On going neck issues, not allowed to cycle anymore 😞 Its completely standard, full carbon, carbon rims, extremely light as its a small, under 10kg i think. Its a few years old. Attached is a pic from the nett, exact same bike, when i get home i will take decent pics and post on classifieds. What do these go for now, between 40k and 50k or more?

Words don't come easy to me Too soon?

Slight hijack but related to XCO. Dam, how sad is this: https://news.sky.com/story/olympian-katie-archibald-fought-to-save-partner-rab-wardell-as-he-suffered-fatal-cardiac-arrest-12680390 Things like this freak me out. I have often went way to hard on races or more intense rides than i am used to and feel when i am back at home, the whole day, that it feels as if my heart rate is kind of elevated. For this to happen to a Pro is strange. Very sad comment from his wife / GF, shame man..

How did our locals do though, i think i saw Phillip came in the top 10, Trsitan? I might be wrong ..

You could perhaps look at this below, small, carbon. She might be a medium frame size though, not sure. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/dual-suspension-bikes/578360/bh-lynx-carbon-race-rc-small-demo?referrer=top

Amazing how Yolande came second overall it seems, crazy effort.
