Dane, when do u get your fork? U must give us feedback on it.

Rode the new single track around the dam yesterday. Friggin awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At one stage we joked in saying "aah flip, not more single track". Well played trail builders, well played.

I have lots of 9spd parts. Contact me if you need anything. Front derailers also.

Greg Minnaar Cycles has got.

I ride a 750mm bar with a 70mm stem on a Tallboy. Race it xc & marathons. Bike handles phenomenal.

I'll call it - "The money shot!"

I saw a set at Helderberg cycles 2 weekends ago for R999. Comes with inner cage plate as well.

Umhlanga101 - sorry, it was all a blur re: lights guys- I bought one of the generic lights that cwc had a special on for R800 sumfin rand last year and it. Battery lasted 12hrs45mins. Only used settings 1 & 2, 1 for general & 2 for descending. Took same light out 2 weeks ago for a 10hr22m ride & battery was still green after that.

Affirmative, did it last year solo, unsupported, 17hrs48m

How was your training over the weekend? I got a nice 237km on saturday. 10h22mins, felt really good all the way. What kms are you guys clocking up?

Njoy! Wish I could be there, but my wife is more important.

They do give you boxes to send forward to certain waterpoints.

Unfortunately cannot compete this year coz same weekend as my wedding anniversary. So going by the last 2 years, Dane will take 1st, 2nd is open now but I'm sure Lance will step into that position. This obviously sooo cat.

Or Botlary - Eden - G-spot - Jonkers - back home over Botlary

Majik - Ntida - Hillcrest - Contermans - Hoogekraal - Contermans - Greenbelt - Meerendal - Majik for a good ride. Kliprug closed due to a "BOX" who stuffed it up for us. New switchback singletrack at Conters is epic.

Ooh, those falls bring back eina memories. Fell ourselves into the next galaxy in 2006. Would love to race again but that sport not for someone with their own business. Now I stick to mountain biking. Now if I fall it's because of my own windgatgyt.

Anybody klapping a long ride tomorrow from the boerewors circle?

I'm 1.83, ride a large with a 90mm stem, setback seatpost. Saddle nose to headset bolt = 485, bb to top of saddle = 785. Perfect for me. Depends if i do a xc or marathon I adjust the height of the handlebars by way of the spacers. Played around with a 70mm & 80mm stem but 90 seems good for me. Handle bat width 690. Wanting to go wider at some stage soon.

What have you done to successfully stop the excessive rattle on your R1 brake levers?

Good luck Dane, sure u will do well. From a fellow 24hr'er.

Jeez Maxman, ur photos are superb! More More! The coloring & composition is fantastic. You definitely have an eye for detail.

I must also applaud Nic for an brilliant course. The utoob video does nothing to justify the course. In fact, on Tuesday before Masters a 3-time world champ ballie from canada fell on the last drop (that was taken out eventually). He was fkd, didnt know artha or martha, put his tooth completey through his bottom lip. Think his blood is still on the ground. Spoke to him on wednesday & he said he entered after watching the video & if he knew it was this tuff he would not have entered coz he was going to italy to compete from here. Now thats out the window as well. We were made aware of 24 hospitilisations on tuesday alone! I must admit i also took the b & c lines all week of practising & only on the saturday practice rode all the a lines exect the double jump & log drop off. Everything considered I had a whale of a time.
