no brain on the camber expert. Fox CTD front and back

Hi guys, I would like to hear what you guys say about the Camber 2014 model & If there are maybe "better" options? (give reasons). Yes, all depends on riding style + where you ride. In short Jonkershoek (90% of the time) & surrounding trails in Cpt. Currently on a HT , but keen to get something more play full / comfy / easier on my lower back BUT also still "race ready" to do a couple of stage races & one day events. All the reviews I have read are very positive, but there is no review like a thehub review Price will be +- R60k for the expert ( R40k for the carbon comp) Here is a cool video Bike info & spec http://www.specializ...bon-29#features

Did you also get a s-works?

Can anybody please confirm if 1.) they received 2bags & 2.) what was in both? I have two of the exact same goodie bags. The oomie giving it to us also forgot to give us our first ascent bags.. Had to ask him.

Besides breakfast, lunch & dinner should one take extra food with to snack on or will there be snacks available?

How safe is the bike park? Do you guys think its "safe" to leave your cycling computer on the bike? Does the showers have enough hot water ?

Not going to use the one they give us... not keen to check name tags until I find my bag.

What did they charge you for new rubbers? Also, am I correct when I say your are allowed 1 Bag with all your stuff in (pillows, sleeping bag, clothes , drinks)

Weather looks a lot better! (still some rain) Luckily yesterday & today is like 30degrees to dry up "old mud".

Yip the Burger can get a few mud patches but that's childs play compared to the mud on Grabouw mountains... it is very different almost clay like.. k@k slippery & piles up nicely to your mtb haha.. (expect a 2kg heavier bike ).

Did you ride the Apple blossom race a couple of weeks ago?That was serious mud/slime/cow ****.. people started to dunk their bikes in the dam to try and clean it! Lots of people had broken chains / chain stuck & other mud related problems.

Not sure how many of you did the Apple blossom mtb race at Oak valley (part of day 2 of w2w) , but it was serious mud!! Super slippery!! Sooo.... what mud guard is the best one to use? Front wheel or downtube ?

Ok, so Im s#%* my self at the mo.. Lets hope its not as bad!

There is a gate at the bottom. This past Sunday there was a security guard opening and closing the gate. Just be careful if you are on your own.

Can anybody tell me if there are "charging station" for electronic devices? Do you hand in your phone & pick it up later or can you chill on a 'poof' while your phone charges & enjoy the free wifi(?)

Where can I buy those bottles & how small are we talking, 250ml ?

lucky bugger! Welldone , thats a good time!

I enjoyed it! My first time (and the longest race I have ever done) did a 4:29

I also got more than what the website said. (2100 vs 1560 )

Enjoyed the race, was my 1st. What total ascent did you guys get?

I hear what you are saying, but my iphone5 + strava has been very very accurate when I compare it to a specific race profile (provided by organisers) & my friends Garmin gps.

A fred with info from 2010 to 2012. If I am not mistaken the route changed a bit?

I checked on a friends strava profile & it was 1924m , saw a couple of 2000m + as well. Anyways...
