:blink: deal, as long as you pay for the massage at the end of the stage

hahaha! FFS, if i have to read another 29er vs 26er vs 27.5 vs my mothers car thread! These threads should be banned from the hub

sounds good to me

Cool, RR ss it is then thx for the advice all. Knowing what terrain to expect makes tyre choices much easier

S2C is like riding on tar though

Super lazy! it's like normal lazy but I am wearing a cape

the reason why I asked is because I still have the Racing Ralphs fitted since Sani2c. The last thing I want to do is sit next to the track on day one at Mankele due to a sidewall cut. I assume it might be better to swop the RRs for my Bontrager 29.3s as they are nuke proof

great stuff, looking forward to it

it's still a long way out but we should organise a group ride before the event for a meet and greet. We can do an easy ride for guys to do a final gear test or something. I for one would like to meet some of the hubbers that are going

Thank you for reminding me. I will be demanding cake from you after each stage to aid in my recovery!

yup the cookies was great! but it was slightly challenging to eat it through our Jason masks

erm, the kidding part stopped when we paid for our entry

Sounds like my kind of race. Flat = boring

Thx for the Info Iron, Karma and I will see you there here's to hoping our training goes according to plan

Who's going? Any suggestions on tyres that I should run. From the photos it seems it could get quite rocky out there though I cannot say if this is only true for their DH tracks or also for the stage race. Any advice on training would also be appreciated. I assume I need to spend some time working on my climbing?

I am in for the Race again its gonna be Epic

The best (fastest, most friendly/helpful, etc) service that I received from Absa in my 20+ years banking with them was when I went in to close my Absa accounts. Seems they have that process ironed out

The flu, I has iiiit!

If you struggle with climbs on your 29er you should be looking at your gearing. My 29er climbs better than my previous 26er due to the correct gearing on my 29er. Lots of guys have 2 x 10 on their 29ers but they dont have the power to climb hills with the 2 x 10 gearing ratio...

Not me, but thanks for trying :-P

congrats man! I'd be over the moon with 10th :-)

I guess my def of a hill differs from your's then

JASON!
