  1. You say that as if it is a good thing ?
  2. looks my size
  3. Please give feedback on the fork .Looks like it will be the only straight steerer in future
  4. Bit of a waste . Julius rides Single speed mainley
  5. Will be leaving Saturday to tackle this route again with a bunch of so,so prepared mates .Aiming only to enjoy and finish in one piece
  6. Beautiful to look at ,but an ass killer for RSA coditions .I have a Santa cruz highball with fox kashima fork .Nothing compares when the surface is relativly smooth , but i hate every second riding veld and graspolle with it
  7. I don,t see the value of carbon rims on a full suspension bike .On a road bike i notice the difference ,but a proper alu rim is already stiff enough
  8. Have used mine during winter and now with the very hot weather in Gauteng i can ride alp dheuz on my cool balcony and listen to music at the same time .Rode a 2hour french col on kinomap between 8 and 10pm last night .I find it great to train hard using the powermeter to keep wattage constant .I use an ipad and a Galaxy 5 with wahoo fitness and kinomap
  9. I think there are more touring ladies than racing ones .My wife and daughter did a bike tour in France where they rode 70km a day and enjoyed every minute .The only hiccup was a frenchie bike shop owner that refused to help them with their bike setup ,because he was jealous of the organizer
  10. It is called Route 62 or 66 i think ,coming up in October
  11. If your weight is close to 100kg like me ,my rear tyre suggestions are Vitorrio saguaro ,Maxixis cross-mark ,Rubena Epic ? I am using these on my current mtb,s Coninental protection X king also works well if you are a weight weenie
  12. More information please .I use this area 3 times a week .So do many of my mates .Nobody that knows anything about this around here
  13. 3 weeks of riding and travelling .I am surprised not more riders become ill
  14. Will be chearing them on in Utrecht on 4 july when Timetrial start .Very excited .Vrystaat! .
  15. I have 120mm travel fork with lockout .I use it to ride everywhere .Really bad terrain sometimes and do races with it .I had a rigid carbon bought and ready but sold it before putting it on the bike .I would rather find another way of reducing weight if you have to .It works for some but I found it would restrict my riding to much ..If you are planning to spend more than 2 hours on a SS ,my advice would be a steel frame with good fork and lockout and proper wheelset
  16. The first climb has been tamed a lot .Used to be rutted singletract or jeep tract .The descent after was a walking trail .The satelite climb was also left out this year .?
  17. Has to be the Kremetart .Roadies are always squabbling about such stuff
  18. I don't know how anybody can bend a spd pedal .I weigh a 100 kg and have xt ,s on a SS .If I can't bend them I don't think anybody can .Maybe the lower range are made out of softer steel ???
  19. I have 5 pairs on 5 bikes .Road , mtb ,SS .No problems ever .I keep a cleat screw in my shoe as a spare .Take a stud out and replace with a screw
