But with regards to teeth on the crank blade, there is no difference between the two. AFAIK. The spacing between the sprockets is more of an issue on the cassette.

What is the profile of the course cumulative altitude wise ? Laps for senior men? Length of lap?

With regards to bottle necks at Vori-Berg. I have never had such a problem at this race.

Again Clive and his team organized a descent well priced race with a fun route! It is great to see how the numbers grow and how the event gets improved relatively quickly. Just a suggestion : The reasoning behind seeding only pre-entrants (Online) is a bit "unfair" considering a line entry would not get you seeded. If the rule counts, the line entrants should also be given a chance on race day to prove that his SAS index is worthy for instance of an A batch start either by printing out his SAS index with past results or even just printing out a recent Vori-Berg result. If the race could only be entered online for instance like the Trailseeker series then the rule makes sense. But as proven again this Saturday, there were allot of line entrants, possibly allot more than expected. And I believe that is an aspect that you would like to keep incorporated ( obviously trying to get more people entering online), as this has always been a bonus for riders entering on the day itself with no late entry fees. Thanks again for a great race. Regards, Dub

Someone should order a powerlink for R20 and see what happens.

Amazing wheelset! If you can find a second hand set you can't go wrong for the price. Is quite pricey new. Very durable for weight.

Thanks. I think they are around R600. Aren't they from Australia? Got very nice gloves in the meantime from Garneau at R180 which is perfect for Road Riding and what I was looking for as a second set.

Thanks.

Anybody familiar with Grippp gloves? Very expensive R400 + Considering a set as an extra pair. Have Spez gloves currently.

Online entries closed earlier than stated on Cycle Lab's website. Will there be line entries? And also what will the fees be? There were no indication on Cycle Lab's website that there will be line entries available. Regards, Dub

Any races this race can be compared to similarity wise? IE something similar to Vori-Berg or Babba's ect... Thanks, Dub

Good question.

Ikon in 29" format is amazingly amazing! Current setup Rocket Ron Evo TL ready front, Ikon EXC back. Ikon gives a more plusher ride opposed to a Racing Ralph at the back.

Probably a Momsen SL729, weight around 11kg's. Also look at Merida BigNine. Direct competition for SL729. If you're looking at soft tails, my vote would go for a Scott Spark 29, if you can find one.

Gonna be sweet! Nothing like watching the epic on pvr while on the trainer...

And congrats to Burry! A solid ride. Looking forward for the rest of the world cup season.

Thanks for the updates!

Very good question. I would also like to know. ( Sorry not for having an answer)

Would be cheaper to rebuild wheel with Lefty compatible hub opposed to getting whole new wheel.

Agree that the Ikon protection version is also one of the best tires by a km...

Racing Ralph, Rocket Ron Combo. Snakeskin versions.

That is one sweet looking bike.

Without doing research I would probably go for the Vida 3.

I also love to train at Klapperkop, and think it's great for hill repeats. Unfortunately I heard very bad news of an incident of other cyclist friends of mine that came upon a crime scene in Klapperkop. Heard about a guy who's throat was slit whilst being in his car, tried to get away, but drove into the rock wall on the left towards the R21 and died on the scene. Not much more info, but I spoke to the people that found him in is car along the road. Very tragic. As far as what I was told there is people living inside the reservation that did this crime, stealing wallet ect. And also that these cyclists warned me not to ride the MTB tracks around Klapperkop. I do not have allot of information regarding what I was told.

Thanks! Was looking for banners or logo's of the people taking the pictures...
