Does anyone by some stroke of luck have a set of hens teeth... I mean midges or woodchippers that they want to get rid of. I can't bring myself to pay shipping from the UK just for a set of bars.

Double post.

Lekker weekend. Also did the marathon followed by the half on Sunday. Goodness, those climbs destroyed me in the marathon but in the half they were fine, thanks to a super flat first 20 and i managed to ride all of them, albeit slowly. Never done Clarens marathon before so maybe less district road but plenty of jeep track and horrible cut grass through the farms (on a hardtail atleast). The views were next level though and only have good things to say about the organisation and overall vibe.

On a bit of a different note, has anyone booked flights and got cash back yet? On the disco sight the flights reward still says "coming soon" so I'm not really sure if it's an option.

Anybody know of any cheap accommodation options for this race? Struggling to find any this late in the day.

A few repeats up to the fire tower yesterday. Bought some land on Cathrins thanks to some wet rocks but nothing serious.

Yeah it's a bit of a pain. Next time, when the reward arrives on Wednesday, save it straight to your wallet/passbook for safe keeping.

Same problem. The app is obviously having an off day.

If I'm not mistaken you can only earn points for 1 activity/day. (You'll get points for the one with the highest.

Mine is doing the same thing. I've got 300 points for every workout this week. Looks like they introduced the calories bonus points but the system doesn't know about the cap at 200/workout. (This is the first week I'm getting calorie bonus so I'm assuming it's new)

Looks like better weather coming this week. Even though we need the rain, not great for riding.

Some midlands base miles.

Yup that should do. Got the same tensioner and mine is at a lot higher "tension". Thinking of flipping the spring though so it pushes up not down. But that may also require a stronger spring.

Nice. Shorten that chain by a few links.

Rourke definitely stuck it to all his haters.

Groenkloof like most other mornings but today was just top notch.

Think this is where the news originated though I also got it from a friend of a friend.

Benki pulled out after 5 laps, 4500m. Last I heard, Martin and Jeannie were both still at it.

Those guys running the rapide tensioner with normal chainring (not NW) and 8speed/ss chain, any issues?

Entries are open for Muthasaki. http://sswc2015.myactiveonline.co.za/capturedetails/registration.aspx

So here goes... It's that time of year and I'm wanting to build up a ss shredder for winter/ss champs. Going to move components across from an old trek fuelx that I broke one of the chain stays on. Looking for a 26" hartail frame. Steel is real, ti is fly and alu is value. If anybody has anything they willing to part with please let me know. On a student budget. Shot

Still waiting to hear when I win the raffle

Ryan, how did the X tackle that bit in your 3rd pic? Rocky and sandy, that bit is even tough on the mtb.

Its going to be a chilled run so I'm sue you'll be fine. the scenery makes up for the sore legs anyways!
