I'm running the Mavic Charge 650B on my Spicy. Replaced the Hans Damph Pacestar on the front with this and it has amazing grip. On the back I've stuck with the HD Pacestar and that's perfect for the back. Seems like the bike rolls a bit slower with the Charge as it's a very soft compound but the grip is well worth it.

I have this Magura Gustav M brake assembly, only the one though. Very powerful brake with great modulation. It's big and heavy though.

Was so awesome to be there to witness Greg's win. So much pressure for him and pulls of such a brilliant win on home soil!

I take it its a 29er?

Yes Nigel blue commencal. He had some proper pace

If I remember correctly the elites was 1st Tiaan Odendal 2nd Tim Bentley and 3rd Alister Fay.

I was so bummed I took myself out in practice and could not race. Really had fun on the track last weekend. Who was on the Commencal? He was looking really good on his race runs! Well done Aubrey on your result!

Knee could be better Grebel. Ended up in the ER Sat night. Aubrey dropped me of at home and I could not even walk into the house. After some x rays,meds and a set of cruthces I'm better. Seeing the Ortho tomorrow to check ligaments etc. House the shoulder Grebel? Oh and one more casualty was Aubrey's bike. Cracked rear end.

You guys ready to get dirty tomorrow?

I'm very keen. The more I ride the track last weekend the more I enjoyed it. Not hitting the big stuff though. Need a lot more courage for that. See you guys there. Just hope the track is fairly dry

Ja, good one Nigel. Pity you had to sit it out. You can come smoke us at the next one!

So how did everyone enjoy the racing today? I had a jol, the more I rode it the more I liked it. Was not going for the road gap though. I smashed my rear brake master cylinder on a tree in my last practice run and had to rush to Greg Minnaar Cycles where Shane quickly helped me out with a new brake set so that I could get back and ride. Hope there were no major crashes. Looking forward to the next one.

Entry done. Looking forward to the race. See everyone there.

Plenty of good riding in the Durban and Pmb area. Giba Gorge for me is one of the best places in Durban and the Pmb is well worth going to ever so often to go ride in Cascades and Karkloof.
