  1. Looks like Attakwas track ?
  2. Some days I just want to sits and rides ! with plenty gears
  3. It is like having a SS .It should not be your only bike ,but they ride well and more fun than a regular bike
  4. Hard to find such a broker .Most of the people I know use PSG
  5. LIKE HIS WORK .!
  6. Is this local ?
  7. That MBC looks the business .I am getting tired of listening to creaking carbon frames
  8. SAP needs detectives like you !
  9. Interestingly the double Xt crank comes up whenever there is a crank Or Bb noise discussion.I also have a creaking noise on both my bikes ,and both have double Xt cranks
  10. 80% of the fee is bragging rights .The sponsors pick up the cost tab .Vermaak is making a packet and we fall for it .Not me , others do !
  11. Red hubs like easton or hope with black rims ?
  12. I think this is David George in disguise
  13. I am currently also on 34 X19 .Started on 40 X 15 ?? .I also liked 36 X 18 for the flatter rides
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. Techniblock ++++
  20. Noticeably absent at the water points were chain lube .I carried my own and used it twice in the very dry dusty conditions .
  21. Crater cruise delirium ! !
  22. 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 !
