  1. Soooo elegant this http://www.viralthread.com/coffee-invention/
  2. Stick to brand on brand
  3. iff problem persists tie a sting to it almost like a teabag. it will help when doing a trailside wee
  4. who says your wheel is dished BUT a great fix to a problem that piss me off. the harder it is during a ride the more i see that is not straight of creek and then its a mind game from there
  5. I have hope hubs laced to spank vomax23 rims. Man oh man those babies are nice!!!!
  6. Keep working on the half distances then and build still, confidence, endurance and stamina. then move on to the full distances. the hex 35km is in my mind the only race with a well balanced ruite. and you can compare with faster guys that did the 55km seeing they do the whole 35 aswell. GREAT for comparing
  7. when you feel that you "could have gone a lot faster" on the half distance. Make no mistake i rode willowcreek and kukked af, rode tru-cape and kukked af eventually dnf and rode an amazinf race today. its not always "easy" even iff you migrated to full distance. thats just my take on it.
  8. After my previous comments about route condition i am here to swallow my words. PERFECT route, PERFECT weather. Yes the route was in dire need of attention and Nienke and Stefan really did a wonderful job of getting in in top shape. I can not comment on danger boards as i know the route by heart. I do apologize if you decided to stay away due to my comment and i'm truly sorry if you missed out. I was perhaps a bit to fast to lash out about it but it is sad to have seen a course you call "home" in such a previous state! Hope you all join us for next year!! Regards Cois
  9. Its hundred m and with the sun from the front it iluminates the rock walls. the smell of bat piss is way worse!
  10. rode it 1x with a 36t but it chews away at the legs
  11. Route rode this AM and organizers DID do a good job of marking, grooming, cutting on the parts i felt needed atention ie 2m drop in road where water washed it away and so on. now for the weather gods do bless us with perfect weather!!!!!!! Iff you enter the 55 you can always just turn on the 35. the 55 does all of the 35 ruite it just makes an extra loop. as said before from matroosberg stasie its all :downhill" but caution to the wind as 1 small mistake can result in a lekker storie for the kids 1 day.. Now to ask what the 1x guys are putting on for the hex? 34t???
  12. little singletrack downhill and a long section next to a railway and a steep drop to the left(breathtaking) but not to much. mostly jeep track so the legs will to the talking on the first 30km and the skills will be put to the test on the last 25
  13. Wanneer het hulle begin werk en waar???
  14. darth vader look???
  15. Just a heads up. route is in worst condition its ever been in the 13 years iv called it my home race
  16. i see no reason for concern yeat there. oal leak is usually a lot of oil and a messy afair
  17. the missus perhaps?
  18. the cluch mechanism does wear out over time ive heard
  19. I have the xt with clutch and use both NV and longer tooth chainrings ala leonardi. ive gone out of my way to drom a chain and thus far no luck
  20. +1 on the narrow mavics, after 5 years my fury's are finally stretched. im to ashamed to complain since i dished out so much for them
  21. https://www.bikehub.co.za/index.php?app=hubmarket&module=core&do=view_item&item_id=89162 So who would like to buy my email adress to spam me?? And then he wants to sort it out in person after my comment
