Ashchest

We are from behind the boerewors curtain and do not know the applicable areas that well. Wifi will have to park somewhere and get an easy acces spot. Any suggestions will be much welcomed.

My Son is 7yrs old and his 16" bike which he got for Xmas last year became way to small towards the end of this year. I just ordered him a 24" for Xmas and decided to skip the 20" size. He's best friend from grade 1's dad (also my cycling buddy) did the same and bought a 24" to upgrade the 16" He is probably going to struggle a bit in the beginning (first month) but they grow so fast that I believe the 24" will be a perfect fit very soon.

I was wondering if anyone knows how spectators / supporters should approach the event - for example if my wife wants to find 1 or 2 places where she could easily get to and easily spot me and even perhaps pass me a nice ice cold bottle? Where would 2 ideal places be and will access be easy difficult?

You can do it!

I am in Egypt and Israel for 2 weeks and want to order something from the Farr online shop to be delivered to SA for when I come back (a welcome back gift ) , but the site automatically loads an international version with USD prices and not all items.

Solid and fast - point the bike and go type of rubber.

I also did spent much time up to recently adjusting my new bike. I made 1 or two adjustments every time before going out on longer rides of 50 km + I made minor adjustments of handlebar height, saddle height, saddle angle, saddle position, cleat positions. 5mm to 10mm this way and then again 5mm to 10mm that way -and then I assessed the impact of adjustments during every ride until I learned how it effected my back, hands, feet etc. a difference of 5mm -10mm on Saddle position and handlebar height can make a very big difference to comfort and one's back as well as hand and foot numbness.

Got myself a Fabric Line saddle, and now my tjommie is my tjommie

Will they put me on the podium?

YEAH! Momsen bring it on! I really enjoy mine. PS. with the addition of the Farr Dot's my GP300 now feels complete

I ride mine 4hrs + no problems

If my wife really want to ride, then she can at any time hop onto my old M sized Dual 26" which is not used by myself currently. It is a nice piece of equipment with Fox air and Xt group and very well looked after. Only requirement would be to adjust the saddle lower. She did take it for a spin a few months ago said she liked it and said it rides and handles awesome! She enjoyed to entire 1.3km of her bike ride because she loves to cycle every now and then

We do workout together, but not on the bikes

I have experienced this again after getting back in the saddle this year

Does she ride currently? (A bike) Maybe off topic - I found wives / girlfriends to be very delicate and complicated creatures especially when it comes to co-cycling. I have bought many MTB's over the last 20 years for girlfriends and for my wife (1) All of them who were never much into cycling - so the act of buying them bikes were purely out of my own desire to have them enjoy the sport with me. I think I have over invested in their bikes and I was also over optimistic about them becoming as passionate about the sport and gear as I am. In reality the bikes were never ridden to potential and other personal interests were prioritised - not cycling. My wife loves tennis and I much rather invest in good tennis gear to see her enjoy "her" sport rather than a fancy bike that she would only use for the odd casual 5 - 10 km ride.

Where is the couch?

Congratulations!!! And?

YEAH!!!

Is jy 'n Voortrekker?

Ok, so what would you guys suggest be the best way to Hydrate prior and during the event? Any Sports-drink with sufficient Electrolytes and Sodium?

I really hope for some mercy on the day and that we will get some cooler weather. If the kinda heat of the past few days are to be present, then us late starters are going to be in for some serious de-hydration and sweat. Remember to drink loads of fluids!

Already fitted and tested

Fitted the Farr Dot's to my Momsen GP today (tubeless) and took them out for a 40km spin 90/10 road/gravel and they are awesome. Definitely faster than my 40c X'plor's and they induce more confidence when roughing it. These are Fat tyres - I like 'em!

Which will make you look and feel the best ?
