    Lots of rocks and tech stuff at Thaba, so best to use more durable tyres. I don't see any rain forecasted for Alberton until the weekend so he should be good on "dry weather" tyres. To be honest, I'm a poor tech rider so Thaba is not one of my favorite places, but good luck to him ☺️.

    If you were closer there is many up here that can help you set your gears perfectly. Hopefully you will find someone down there that's reliable to assist. I always do mine myself, its really not rocket science if you know the basics.

    Can anyone please tell me from what year model is the Titan Cypher carbon frame UDH compatible?

    Agree, it was so disappointing and unfortunate for Wout to puncture at exactly the wrong moment ... 😪. Very sad as a big Wout fan !!!

    When I still had a XT DR (now on GX AXS) on my bike I always had the clutch on for off-road and it does make a difference. If not serviced regularly however, it will negatively influence shifting.

    I never thought that would be a part that's prone to breaking .... 🙈

    Ja ... I will rather tackle that with my MTB or my rigid gravelish bike, but for sure not on a road bike with my fat arse .... 🤪🤣

    Ideal for that Sun Valley road ...

    The Cycle Hub at Rietvlei doesn't exist anymore. They are now at Thaba trails, 101 Kliprivier Drive, Mulbarton.

    I also made that same oopsie earlier but did correct it ... 😊

    Agree it is certainly a beaut !!!!

    Simply because of cost, I don't want any of those, Current GX AXS is more than good enough for me .... 🤪

    Maybe lets rather wait for the OP to clarify. @ttona33 ? I'm leaning towards agreeing with @Steady Spin.

    That's not 100% clear then, "New AXS availability", most would assume he is referring to the new UDH direct mount ... But maybe its just me making a bad assumption .... 🤪
  17. TheoG
    Cant see clearly from the photo, but that look like the current XX1 AXS and not the new direct mount design.

    Or as in my case a complete mix and working like a charm: Cassette: Garbaruk 12 speed microspline Chain: Shimano XTR 12 speed Derailleur & Shifter: SRAM GX AXS 😊😁

    I'm glad you find your match , enjoy !!! Edit: Please post some photos of your new ride.

    If and when a GX version becomes available, hopefully it would be sort of affordable to us mere mortals. I anyway need to get a new frame (UDH "ready"), my 2013 RM Element frame is not going to cut it .... 😒 For now I'm simply enjoying my "old" GX AXS thoroughly .... 😊

    I'm 186 so in between L & XL. Both my bikes are L, I prefer it over XL. Obviously going to differ from brand to brand.

    That was a ID10T move .... 🙈
  23. TheoG
    I really hope that's the case, this would not be a good change imho.

    I agree on the geometry thing. The modern trend to have the fork at a much slacker angle as an example makes a big difference in taking on more tech terrain. Also the rolling resistance between 29" and 26" is significant. A number of year ago I trained for the Desert Dash in Namibia on my trusty 26", a week before the race a friend offer me a spare 29" on loan and immediately I could not only keep up with the other guys but sometimes even drop them. Difficult to put a number to it but it is significant for sure.

    Just more proof that we are being screwed through our ears !!!
