  1. Looks like decent spec for the price. Nothing wrong with the shock. Fork is quite flexy, but if you are not hammering it every ride, it is more than adequate. I'd look at better tyres or a dropper to upgrade first. Scott Spark 960 is a bit more, but has NX Eagle a dropper and the better tyres as well as more suspension travel if you are looking at options

    The 960 will compare with the AL 2 or AL3 from Silverback, also with dropper etc, NX or SX

  2. You running Sram or Shimano?

    What derailleur do you use for this?]

    I think that this is where 1x will get caught out.

    I know that I need everything my granny has got to get up the pass but also that I went through Meiringspoort cruising at 45kph in my big ring.(tailwind assisted).

    I will be running a 50-34 compact road crank and a 11-42 cassette. I hope it will be enough up the hill. I am practicing my walking solong

  3. Yip, thats a serious comeback performance from Kevin. I still recon he is by far the best Fedgroup has got. How is Erik coming in in 5th. He is in seriously good form at the moment.

    Erik definetely in very good form from training every day with Sauser. Also remember he finished 3rd last year in th Atta only 6min behind Sauser. He just loves this race!

  4. Ariane will ride with Pioneer partner Annika Langvad... that team up was too good not to repeat. I was looking forward to Cherise and Ariane teaming up but would have placed a massive amount of pressure on Cherise and probably a bit early for that.

    Think Cherise will go for mix with Lourens.

    Nico and Erik.

    Ariane and Annika... S.o they have 3 good teams for Epic!

    Oh and they are already on their new Special toys! Just check Twitter
