no calves

Also waiting patiently for the ads to go up....

Yeah. Have the 15x100 which was sold with QR adapter. Just would have thought that they would have made a 12mm adapter to fit in there.

Phoned them as all my mounts on my carrier frame is holdfast. Got ab unbothered no we dont, and when i asked when will they since gravel and disc road bikes are the norm i could literally hear her shrig her shoulders

Afternoon Built myself a rack that sits in the bedof my bakkie. initially it was all QR then upgraded to Boost (holdfast brackets). recently bought a gravel bike that needs to mount here. is there any company that makes a 12x100 adapter or holder?

Nah.... witblits. Gravel is the hippy of cycling.

Same size as your shirt.

i will most certainly race it again, since we were promised free entries... Its a great route and i am certain most will agree. BUT we pay a lot of money for these races AND the cost of travel on top of that and i am sure I have the right to be a little cheesed off. i could have overseen a few of the stuff if it was organized by ie. the lions club of said town of the school itself. but for an events company this is a bit amateurish. ps. also heard Adrian reversed over someone's bike... but even this still does not top a race we did in Beaufort-West where the event was advertised as 45km, at registration they apologized and told us its actually 65km.. finished the race on 105km... did not get lost. the person who rode the route to count the kms forgot about a few sections. needless to say the event never took place again

who is this directed at?

No marshalling by the looks of it from the photo

Just need to check but route on their website versus what we rode/gpx file also differs. you might be old and grumpy but i feel exactly the same. iff it wasnt for the free entry for next year i would have told them to shove it for an RONDE... dont over hype and under deliver. ALSO.... apparently there was not "caution cycle race in progress" etc on the tar section from the wind farm??? can anybody confirm? iff this is true that is piss poor from them.

Hulle het seker eers wakker geskrik toe die son opkom....

There was no paramedics on site. So CSA stopped the event untill paramedics arrived

Well to add to the delay. It was a blessing that the race was delayed as one of our mates had a naty fall on the tar section heading out of riebeeck. Ended up with 4 broken ribs, punctured lung and a broken " vlerkie".. So the delay for the paramedics to arrive was a blessing

I must appologize for not stopping. I asked and you said 10 and i shouted i only have 12 and me and my brother went on. Got stomach cramps at about 30km mark and was shallow breathing all the way from there. It was a day id rather forget about and forcus on that free entry for next year..

You were the person looking for a 10spd link???

Whatsapp me. photos way to big for bikehub. 0 7 for for three 2 5 five 6 six sorry for the inconvenience

105kgs at 1.9bar front and rear. 2.25 Tufo tyres.

The missus got "lost" a few weeks before our wedding (she forgot 4 lefts and you are back where you started). took out het phone to navigate even though she has the route on her garmin, and ended up going into a sandy patch at a good speed. have not received our wedding photos but I presume the scars on the arms will take quite the photoshop skills...

and that section is straight into the wind as well....

Those roads are maintained well. its once you venture out to Piketberg and Halfmanshoff that the funn starts. will make trip that way this afternoon and see if I can take a photo of the road surface

What parts did you ride?

Back in the 26" days Vredenstein used to make a Killer Bee tread. those things were ridiculous... I was freewheeling away from people I my slip coming into Hankey on Transbaviaans

Quite honestly i think gravel is RSA will fade. Purely due to our district roads not being maintained. The way things are going we will need 140mm "road" bikes to tackle our tarred roads soon....

Just my 2C Ride a lot of the roads of the RvR as its where i live. take into account that its planting season for the grain farmers, that means a lot of traffic on those district roads. lots of loose sand and corrugation due to trucks transporting seed and fertilizers. rode a section that the 100miler will ride after Piketberg on their way back and i can promise you a gravel bike will get bogged down. each to his own i guess. I am opting for skinnier tires on the mtb with a 36/38 chainring and hoping i will be able to match the pace aswell as glide over the not to nice surfaces. when the road permits I do believe nothing beats a gravel bike. but if the road does not permit nothing rides k@kker than a gravel bike

Much like the leatherman lifetime warrenty these days. also because of people abusing the system
