Cheaper helmets have also come a long way, looking at what Titan offers and now Apex offer at under 1k. It’s difficult to sell on a boutique brand in a competitive market, there are higher end model options from the likes of Specialized, POC, Kask, Abus, Scott, Bontrager etc .. In fact Specialized does a bloody good option with the Align just under 1k, slightly above with MIPS

Public liability insurance, which is required by law. This doesn’t cover reimbursement costs however, and apparently the interest from underwriters/insurers is minimal as the process and costs are onerous.

Similar but uniquely different. Seat and head angles are different to the Mobu, the Mobu also has a geometry flip chip.

Swiss Army knife, can build it up for XC/marathon, trail or a mix and it’ll be a fast performer on all of it. Phil Buys won Buffelsdrift on one. In many ways it reminds me of the original Pyga 110, but a bit more lively and responsive to pedal input. It’s not the lightest on builds but no where near the heaviest either.

Beers and Blevins are formidable, would be great to see them defend their title. The addition of Namibian Alex Miller to the team also presents some dark horse vibes, undetermined if he’ll be at Epic. In the women’s field it’ll be interesting to see if Amy Wakefield and Candice Lill team up again for unfinished business. They really had terrible luck last year. Unfortunately I don’t see Vera Looser and Kim Le Court defending since Le Court is now on a WT road team.

Check with Karkloof Country Club, they have one of the largest memberships in the country. All kinds…

Tottie tamatie ??

Is nie salmon nie ??

Dis p03s mooi!

Due to extreme weather and a call by the provincial EMS that was out of their hands. That is part and parcel of the risk and liability we face as participants, as well as the organisers. In any outdoor activity. It's disappointing for everyone and the irritation is understandable to a degree, some people make it vindictive though with rage posts on the socials/google reviews. It would be nice if there were some form of insurance that could be taken out, even as an opt in. But then we would moan about the increased cost.

20% isn't significant? ... Take 20% off your gross income and let us know. Faaarrk, the line between expectation and entitlement is a narrow one.

Start with the basics first, check the chain length is correct. Where abouts are you in NL?

Swartberg 100 on the 27th April. It’s also part of the UCI Gravel World Series.

Fair play, you’ve produced a product and not asking for handouts. Nothing wrong. It might pull more sales if you offered branding these and some kind of personalisation for individual orders. Good luck.

Built differently in Alberton, hulle eet nie wat julle eet nie!

Speak to people on the hub as you would anywhere else in life, and you'll get the appropriate response.

Not everything needs to be a Loeries award-winning concept, in fact those often only feed agency ego types. Consistency wins the game, even 3 year olds grasp that. In a challenging economy it's commendable that there are people out there doing something. More power to them.

Built differently here boet. Hulle weet nie wat ons weet…… #stillknocksknocking

Most people mentioned high 40s, I see Jan mentioned he got a reading of 47. Prob fair to say the average ambient temp was likely in the mid 40s. *** warm!

Why? Just do another popular event on the calendar. Heat is a known factor with Atta.

Cirque Cafe gravel loops out south, always fun!

Yep

This is not that kind of site!

Ja, really represents himself and his sponsors well. Conrad Stoltz is another athlete who I remember as being a completely authentic and loyal representative of the brand. The Caveman was always approachable and sincere with the S products. Still is.
