  1. Red hubs like easton or hope with black rims ?
  2. I think this is David George in disguise
  3. I am currently also on 34 X19 .Started on 40 X 15 ?? .I also liked 36 X 18 for the flatter rides
  4. That chain is going to stretch and then you will need some tensioning again .Sorry to burst your bubble but it does happen if you ride a lot
  5. As a Menlo park parent and also having a daughter participated in the event last year makes me very proud .Also a word of thanks to the Koekemoer family from Anatomic that has been a sponsor since the inception .Thanks to Cecilia , Harm and parents for their dedication
  6. Thanks for the initiative and work .KK is my backyard and I ride there 3 to 4 x a week .About a year ago I noticed the guards had left ,then I see no more patrols and noticed some vagrants in the bush .It was only a matter of time when the trouble starts again I told myself and I was right .There was even some illegal dumping starting again .I am willing to help in any way to keep this the best outdoor spot in PTA that it is
  7. This was my first ultra .I have done these distances in stage races before but a random ultra takes a lot out of you .The longest ride I have done in the last year was 4h and yesterday took me just under 6 hours .The last 90 minutes was painful. If you train more than 8h a week I think you will be fine ,but for us that do mostly interval training and max 6hours a week it is doable but not enjoyable
  8. I am also in the market for a new set .Currently on Avid CR .Anybody know the difference between the XO trail and avid guide brakes
  9. Techniblock ++++
  10. Noticeably absent at the water points were chain lube .I carried my own and used it twice in the very dry dusty conditions .
  11. Crater cruise delirium ! !
  12. Long day! ,but made it under 6hours in the ultra .Saw a lot of cramping riders along they way .my only serious cramp was on top of the bridge at the finish ,i managed to hide it from the fans and finish like a man .Several of us measured temperatures at 39 and 40 degrees celsius .Water tables were sufficient and i used most of them .Good event, my first CC . On a really hot day this will be dangerously hot !
  13. Evens .Not evins
  14. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/118923-lets-see-those-on-ones/page__st__160#
  15. I have a steel inbred with a 120 mm RS XX lockout dual air fork .I sold my carbon fork before even using it .My bike setup is as good as it gets and as comfortable as i want it to be
  16. Buying a Tallboy frame is like buying your first assos bib .It is so much easier to fork out the money when you know what you are getting the second time you buy either
  17. http://reviews.mtbr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Santa-Cruz-Juliana.jpg Santa Cruz Juliana .And the colour is right to
  18. My whoos is still sore from the last 2 events on a hardtail .I am so enjoying my SC Tallboy again
  19. I will be going as soft as i can without losing control .My weght is 100 kg .Front tyre 1.7 Rear 1.8 and shocks 10 psi lower than normal .On a Fox fork it is 100 psi and rear shock 210 psi
  20. He might have been cleared for other reasons than that is given .The pharmacist story just does not hold water .I believe he is clean ,but that the testing is where the mess up was made
  21. Where do you live and ride ?
  22. The first 2climbs of the day are tougher than the last one .Ending in the steepest part of the stage in the last 3km .Go try it !
  23. A challenging ,enjoyable route again .Well organized like always
