    Bucket list .Gauteng is just so far from there

    Typo .Meant Nobby nic
  3. arendoog
    If i only have one choice for both ,it would be Vittorio Saguaro rear and Nobby nic snakeskin front .I use and have used all the named tires except Spez one,s

    Leave the professional and qualified people to do their jobs .It is not up to us ,the masses ,to decide somebody,s fate in a bike race .There are more important cheats to ban .Like our supreme leader and the untouchables that surround him

    Are there any of the hub brake guru,s that can help with a XTR lever that is leaking brake fluid around the rubber internal seal and losing pressure as you pull it? .LBS says it is not fixable .Next Q .If not fixable ,can i use another shimano lever and the xtr caliper ?

    Buffelsdrift has become a quality 50km venue with some proper climbing and flowing single tract .I always thoroughly enjoy a 3 hour round there with something nice to eat at the restaurant afterwards

    I find the fenix a bit complicated .Polar is simple, robust ,easy to use and battery life will last weeks if you don,t use GPS .The Garmin has a lot of features that is nice ,but are seldom rused
  12. arendoog
    If you want longer battery life get a polar v800 .I have both

    I use Kinomap .I don,t really want a a coach like today,s plan .I fractured my collarbone 5 days ago and have to keep on training so Kickr it is for now .Took out a subscription for a year at $69 and can access routes all over the world using an ipad and wifi .There are realistic scenic 10min short rides and warm up rides to ALP d,hue z and other Cols .I only have an ads line with wifi and it works fine .Blue HR works well .If you want to ride Strava sections u will need the cadence sensor also .I also have the software installed on my Samsung 6 { wahoo trainer and kinomap }coh

    I know the road in question .Hectic traffic or down and there are no side roads to try and bail out

    I also get P#$%d of at has -been rugby players getting entries and free-bee,s from so called charities then make every day,s cutoff by 1 min and then their faces are spluttered on media for the whole week .Who gives a F$%^ .These so called charities are paying them to ride for free and what do they get out of it ??? .At least there are guys like Joel Stransky that i will also sponsor ,for he takes nothing for granted .There is so much more to this event that we don,t see because they focus to much on has-been celebs ,absa employees and front end of the race

    Interesting front tire choice .I would expect a more aggressive tread .Please get some pics and opinions on the Pyga stage if there are any ?
  18. arendoog
    I am still sceptical on commodities .Is this bargain buying or value buying or FOMO ?
  19. arendoog
    Any Pyga Stage owners ,please give us some feedback on your new bikes ?
  20. arendoog
    MUUUUCH cheaper than 1 x 11 anyway !!
  21. arendoog
    We can always challenge yourself and do the whole thing on rigid SS ???

    I have done CPT in 2012 and 2015 .I liked last year,s route .Regarding 2016 .Stage 1 will be a good route in a very scenic area '.If the route is similar to Monties descember event .There is some very nice Singletract on the farms surrounding Gondwana . Stage 2 will be similar to 2015 stage 1.Took me 7 hours Stage 3 will be in the wet muddy forest trails around George .Will still keep you busy for 4 hours Stage 4 .Montagu pass and then skipping chandelier towards Herold can be a fine ride Stage 5 Around Kamanassie dam .Don,t know what to expect Stage 6 Chandelier game farm has some proper MTB tract I have done Swartberg enough times and Kamanassie twice from both sides .I think the stages will all have enough proper riding .

    I changed my Fox 100mm for a SID 120mm .I feel my climbing is better and can now stand and climb more comfortable.than before .The more upright position made flat and descending riding more comfortable .I tuck in my elbows when climbing steep sections .Julian Absalom is the prime example of an upright riding position http://img.over-blog-kiwi.com/0/50/87/62/201304/ob_051fb7_duel-entre-nino-schurter-et-julien-absalon-armin-.jpg
