They are great watches - had 3 over the last 10 years - pure quality. Some mayor chains stock them now - just check your mall.

If its bigger than that - you cut off some knobblies like its neville Bartos`s ears! Yeh!

Contact the guys from Running Inn - Pta & Jhb regarding shoes/kit/watch. Speak to Riaan or Max If you are in Pta - go to their shop c/o Lynwood & Duncan. Heard they have a shop in Jhb now - not too sure where. Enjoy.

Weight Weenie - Enter so we can race each other!!!! Light Weight vs My weight!!!!! Feather vs Bear See ya there!

I run a Geax Sugaro which measured at 2300 - pretty accurate. Just roll the tyre 1 full revolution and measure the distance.

Get someone to help you swim propperly - swiming is 75% technique Do brick sessions : bike/run - right after each other to get the body use to them Enjoy the first one - after the second you will be hooked. Top tip I ever heard - "Just remember, we still have to run after this"

Entered - looking forward to one hour of bleeding from the eyes!

I have a shimano wheelset and got replacemt valves from Shamus - Bicicletta. Not sure what make they are - pro genuine innov - and they work perfectly. Drop Shamus a PM

Can I enter on the day? Cant seem to navigate you website - cant find an entry link. Sent David a email requesting help on Wed - still no reply. Let me know via PM please - dont want to keep calling up this thread for the next week hoping for a relpy. V.

If you are in Gauteng - Check Solomon`s - Bought my dad a pair of Serfas for about R 500. He`s only had them for a month but loves them! He only spinn`s with them - but they look sturdy.

Congratulations.

Rudy`s pricing is currently the best. Maybe look at the Zuma - just try and look past the name!

Chec with Smolster - he works there and knows all the trails. Not sure if he`s going on leave though?

So before the "action" starts - do you pull keys from a hat or gels from a helmet?

Which bike`s hanger are you looking for?

It was a non draft race last year - Pornstar was there on his Black Spade Machine. Just maybe chec with someone - they usually have a number collection on the Saturday - maybe just ask someone to chec for you then.

FuelEX - what are your plans?

Eyecandy - bit of a highjack but what time are you going? Looking spend some time in there too on Sunday. Highjack off

From what I understand - the frame connects to the hub - the skewer just keeps it in place. That might be the reason.

Personally - I would stay away from X.O brakes because they are Avid. Better options would be Hope, Shimano XT or XTR - that is what I would do. Ice tec Rotors are fine but the X.O brakes are a little disappointing. Do a search on this topic - there was something similar a few weeks ago.

I would say MTB 4:00 = Road 3:30 My reasoning - rolling resistance/weight/aero of position of MTB is a drawback - however, in the bunch its mostly rolling resistance as the aero in cancelled but the draft/slipstream of the group. The weight coefficient is less to overcome in the group because the drag is less. This is a final exam long question but my money will be on around 3:30 - but if you get a big group and can stick with them - 03:15 could be on the cards. Hope it helps.

I have a "like new" Ponza if anyone is keen. PM me.

Fizik Aliante Gamma XM or WTB Silverado for me - MTB or road

I measured mine at 2300mm. That was on Canis 2.2 - seems quite accurate - was out by 1km at van Gaalens. Hope it helps.

I`d rather be fast and have people wonder "What the hell was that?" than be at the back of the pack with that being heckled. Then again - I have never been an Ellsworth/Blue Bulls/BMW/Levi fan.
