Bums

As long as you guys are all aware that this is pirate clothing and not original. Thats why it is so cheap. As far as I am concerned a imitaion jersey isnt a problem as the material is almost the same. The Bibs however dont have the same shammy so you really are getting screwed there.

EASY, S Works Epic 29er

I am the opposite, have a 26" full sus and bought the 29er hard tail. Kept the 26 for the longer and more technical races and ridden it in 6 months. Hardtail 29er is the way to go. Faster and more enjoyable

Its better to watch the rugby and know the result because if we lose you really dont want to riding on the road afterwards with the pissed off depressed people driving. Then again if we win and people are celebrating and drinking Klippies, you probably dont want to be on the road either. That settles it, rugby and beer and save the legs for Shova

I have a pair of S works amd they are awesome, the only shoe I will ever use.

Such an awesome clip. Thanks for posting

Doing my 3rd, looking forward to it. Had bad lick the last 2 years so hopefully this year I have a good ride.

If you have lots of bikes of high value then Compendium is hard to beat. They have a special that they only charge you for the 1st bike and the others are free. they also insure bikes with values of mre than R50 000 which a lot of other companys wont.

I cannot belive this is still going. I have known Gordon for 4 years and bought loads from him when he worked a bike shop. He is an honest stand up guy and I must agree that when the money is paid then the item is yours. I am buying a car at the moment and was busy arranging finance when a cash buyer paid for the vehicle and it is gone. Boo hoo, I cant cry over it, grow up and go find another. And some of those king comments made my evening

But the wheels are so small......

It is illegal to buy stolen property. You cant tell me that you buy a bike for R300 and dont know that it is stolen. The guy is lucky he doesn't get charged. They are fuelling the fire by providing a market for the thieves.

Roadies dont get a vote

I am riding Sani2c next week and have a Sworks 29er ht and a 26 stumpy full sus. I personally (and my times prove it) believe that I am 10 - 15 minutes quicker in a race on my 29er than my full sus. Before I bought my 29er my training mates used to beat me on average by 20 minutes and now on the 29er it is less than 5 minutes. There is no way that in 3 months I have miraculous gotten that much stronger when the gap has been 20 min for 2 years. And who ever says that a 29er cant climb is smoking the good stuff because I have been climbing away from chaps on their 26" bikes that used to thump me when I was on my 26. I kept my full sus thinking I would switch between the two and use the full sus on Sani and Karkloof and the longer technical rides and the 29er for everything else. The only time I have ridden my full sus in the last 3 months was when my 29er was getting serviced. I have both and have been converted - Sani here I come on my 29er.

Another small "wheel" syndrome here.

See you there if you are riding on Sun
