Can anyone recommend a MTB wheelset for a 29er with a 15QR thru axle in the front. Most wheelsets I see online are just normal quick release... Where can I buy it and approx price? Not looking to spend an exorbitant amount. Thanks!

I don't get it... why is everyone picking on this driver? Okay yes maybe he should not have been taking a photo while driving, but he's still driving better/saver than 100% of taxis etc. Anyway... Back to the tjops cycling. If they ride like that and get hit by a car, and the car is at fault, and the driver has to pay R20mil in damages to the cyclists (each), and the driver goes to jail for the rest of his life, and the cyclists become world famous because they are cycling heroes, and they all marry super models, THEY WILL STILL BE F*CKING PARALYZED FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES AND NOT ABLE TO RIDE THEIR BIKES! Cyclists must take responsibility for their safety. Sheez! I love this sport but sometimes your fellow cyclists are moronic!

The braai won't be for food, it will be for "geselligheid" since we're gonna be there early. You don't have to sell that spag bol dinner to me, I've been looking forward to it for 363 days :-)

Anyone remember if there are braai places at the camping spots?

Yes... 30km/h is close to breaking the sound barrier.

Make a weekend of it.

You can register on Sunday morning...

LBS just phoned... my frame is cracked 1 week to go.

Any idea of where to buy these frames and approx. price? Frame only.

True that! I started in one of the lower groups last year and even there you always get some douchebag that complains about the slow pace, and saying "you people that ride so slowly, do us a favour and start at the back next year". It does feel good when you overtake him later in the race though

So has anyone who bought the watch received theirs yet?

That's pretty cool!

The pasta meal is nothing fancy, but it's really good and enough for even a big guy like me.

Lance would never ride a Spez

Thanks, a lot of information there!

Which training programs are you guys following? Currently I'm just trying to get myself up to the 9 sessions per week.

So if you pass someone on a timing-mat you get a penalty?

Same weekend as Karoo2Coast, eish.

hahahaha

Thanks, this makes a lot of sense. I'm sold. Any brand suggestions? These things are freakin expensive!

What are some of the seasoned Ironmen's opinions regarding fullrace suit versus two piece suit?

It doesn't matter if you go there and enter, or if you enter at home, it will cost you R1725 either way Where do you live? Do you have a car? Do you have friends that are also doing the race?

I've entered and I'm pretty excited! I've only done XTERRA Lite and Clanwilliam, so this is a big step up. Cycling is fine, swimming is getting there, but with my body the run is still a problem area. Adjusting the diet to shed some weight which should help.

John who?
