I entered in 2012, 2013 and the I finally got an entry through the lottery for 2014. Crap thing is that entries for following years are not guaranteed once you enter. I tried the lottery for 2015 with no luck and now I am waiting for 2016

Ride alone is fine just don't get to freaked by the baboons and noises in the bushes. There is a Southern entrance and a Northern Entrance. Northern one is bigger and has more parking. There are a few braai spots on the way and I think there are a few at the main gate.

Top 50!!! You would leave me in the dust. Best of luck

What none of these articles ever say is the after sales swop-out terms and speed. I believe the warranty for Momsen is 2 years whereas bigger brands like Giant offer lifetime. P.S Mate of mine had a damaged Santa Cruz Tallboy, after nearly a year of waiting for the new frame he decided to take up road riding. I snapped my Anthem frame and it was replaced in 2 weeks.

Howsit Hubbers I have a hardtail GT with 2x10 XTR groupset. I have the constant problem of the chain coming off the front chain rings when I go over any bumps which is not ideal for mountain biking. I had to stop and reset my chain 5 times during the Magalies Monster. Its a pain and stops all momentum. Anything I can do?

Nice rides! What fork have you got on the EMD?

Just bought a Niner emd frame from a fellow hubber. I cant wait to build it like yours. Cheers Russ

What drivetrain did you convert from 2x10 or 3x10?

What a cool bike! Cant wait to see it finished

Anybody know if you can enter at registration?

Great to have some Cross Country to watch in good old JHB

GT Zaskar XL Build. Came in at 10kgs on the dot. Brilliant ride and handling.
