Nothing wrong with XT, I'd look at new wheels

so hapy that Karma and I got in just in time

+1 I actually went and tried both the stumpy and the epic. The Stumpy inspired way more confidence and is way more comfortable. In fact, yes the epic is faster and more nimble, but I really did not enjoy the ride at all. If you are racing for podium, yes get the epic. For anything else the stumpy would be my preference. And don’t think the stumpy is slow or does not climb well (I tested the S-works version). The stumpy is not MUCH slower and it would be way faster on a technical downhill. If I somehow won an epic, I would sell it. Yes, I race my guts out at every race that I partake in, but I still want to enjoy the ride. I don’t want to win whilst hating the ride… Sure some people will love the epic, though I am not one of them. I suggest you try both out before you buy

Total immersion is the way to go with regards to technique! Well worth it imo

I get just over 2 hours

for funding yet another gravy train

with the recent bike jacking in Groen Kloof I would be hesitant to say any place is safe. I guess these days it is always better to cycle with someone if you have the option

I've traveled from JHB to PTA for a service, just a pity the service was disappointing. Yet another bike shop with techies that are not bothered to do a proper job

The sunrise in JHB was EPIC, erm, what sun? damn overcast days

:clap: It almost sounds to good to be true!

And it's red! Good times :-)

pedal with your legs damit! :-PGood luck with the recovery bud!

So you think you are a weight weenie? To what extremes have you gone to save that extra gram? Post your pics here. Just for the record, I am not a weight weenie (although I sometimes wish I was seeing that my MTB/Tank comes in at just under 15kg). I’ll start us off with a photo that my friend sent me. Sorry if this one has done its rounds on the hub, I have not seen it on the hub so I thought I’d share it

Ok I guess I need to start getting my bike ready for saturday. Let's hope I'll be able to keep up with the red dunlop!

anything can be fixed with a good hammer I say get it serviced and ride it like it is for a while

Shocking! Name and shame!

Ok good so it is not just me. I really don't understand why they can't get it right, the road seeding works fine
