does anyone know who was taking pictures? and where to fine them?

I am also *** on uphills but built for the downhills

Narra My son was one "of the youngters" on the 45km (he won the race)He complained that when he asked for track it was not given, so had to go off line. he says that mid pack of the 75km and over 30,s would not let them past!!!! Or as he put it as i came in broken from the 45km "The old farts must realize that they are too slow"

Hi, For a first event by the organiser it was not bad and offered good value for money R60 for the 20km & R80 for 40(34km) other races of the same distance are over R120 + late penalties= R170. They had 120 online entries and in true Jhb fashion 200 on the day so it is no surprise they ran out of cable ties, but a good MTB always has there own stock My only gripe is that Jhb MTB riders cannot do technical or anything that looks like a bump in the track. i fell off twice because riders just stop. The track was a good mix and was fun, and for those that were overtaken by a fat old bast**d on a single speed with a ridged fork should feel embarressed

Hi The CGC office is in fourways you can contact them on 011 465 9635 Your club should have sorted this out, CGC has licences that clubs have not collected yet. It could be why you do not have it yet

Hello, Anyone know if the cleats are the same and can be used on both Time atac/eggbeaters? They look the same and i would like to put the eggbeaters on my new bike leaving the time on my other Thks

hi I am in the area and in need of someone to ride with PM me

Your data for the number board does remain the same. The data for the race comes from the online portals as the timming system used could be different from race to race. The online companies, timming companies and others are protective over the data and do not use the same fields for ID age etc etc that is why at most races there is a large amount of manual work that has to take place As someone said SS are one of the better companies and you cannot do Sabie +2000 entries by hand with the new 5 number boards. I have been on the finish lines and to take down 3 numbers on boards with that amount of riders is impossible

Hi, Having been on both sides of the fence, rider/Organizer/commissarie/water bottle holder for a race snake, The most common cause of wrong sex/age is that riders do not check what they have on the online entry system before they press proceed. The data that spectrum sport use comes from these online portals. i have seen many times and had to sort out sex/age changes in the results because the data is wrong. Next time you enter please check before you enter the button. Just my 2 cents

Hi Had the same problem on the chain stay, it started cracking from the drain holes GF replaced. Also check the carbon seat stays at the top were it is joined on to the alum part and at the bottom by the drop outs as mine broke soon afterwards, could have been from stress from first problem. that was in December 2008 and have not had anymore problems since

Go with the XT wheels, i changed from the Bontragers as they had too much flex, Also seen a set American Classics which were tubless and in white, Verrry nice

Hello, A trick that i saw the great Gary Fisher use on his bike when he was last here, was to tie a large headed zip tie on to the chain stay just behind the gears. This stops the chain from catching and chain suck is prevented, simple. I have used this on all our bikes since including the Sabie xperence and no chain suck!!!!!!!!!!! Lube will also help Rgds

The point is that 29r are for people over 1.7 mtrs tall. For those that do not ride 29r,s you will not know how we feel at the end of a ride which is slightly better than your mates on their small wheels!!! You will all come over to the dark side at some point, unless you are under 1.7!!!
