    Did my first "MTB" event this weekend on my steel (4130) road bike with 28mm tyres. (11.5kg ). I will definitely think twice before doing similar event on my normal MTB . The steel frame was buttery smooth, soaked up all the bumps, flats was damn fast on the "skinny" tyres at 5bar. Now just to find one with gears …. n+1

    The amount of bikes that was left unattended/unlocked yesterday was just insane, i'm supprised not more was stolen.

    That was fun day out and great start to my season.. Did it on fixed gear road bike.. The road gearing did NOT work on some of the hills but passed tons people on flats . Those 28’s really rolled nice on the jeep tracks..

    Stupid question, its cheaper todo each day individually (R900) than the 3 day stage race (R1200) .. so what do one get extra on the 3 day stage race for the extra R 300, I don't see any anything ?
  11. Karman de Lange
    That might have been, did not have glasses on. I think might have then accidentley met you, .. I had Typex top on.. Glad you finished
  12. Karman de Lange
    Where you the one with i think XTR crank coming off?
  13. Karman de Lange
    That was fun .. almost thought I do it twice, then reliased have to be back for supper excellent orginized and enough to eat/drink
  14. Karman de Lange
    ok.. so I entered last minute no training, just lots of stupidity... my normal method of doing long distance events.

    Just remember to add the R450 admin fee
  16. Karman de Lange
    I use formula of 50% of new price and R1k/year deduction . I bought few things of the hub, never had issue, but you have to be quick to get the right priced items . Got indoor trainer other day for R250, bloody bargain!

    Can't help with 94.7, but 2.6 w/kg gave me 3:07 argus time. (240w).

    Did someone check out the top trail runner. 24 laps of think ~5km each .. Thats 124km running.....
  20. Karman de Lange
    I was ok for the first 300m .. died for next 80km and then body said hell no. Had very pleasant last 70km riding at my own slow pace, taking pictures and talking crap to many a straggler. thanks to all the teams that passed and offered me a place to hook on, although I wanted to, legs was just not there. It was major wakup call on how unfit I became the last few months. Time to get back in saddle. All and all brilliant day, scenery is spectacular and team spirts (except for 1 or 2) was amazing. Definitely recommend the race to all , bring the climbing legs and good spirits!

    You might have to qualify what you mean by "black". If its non-white then there are major % of blacks riding. If its apartheid era black, then you might be right , there not so many.

    See this often in "funrides" .. right in middle of pack going full vroom .. Maybe I'm wrong thinking that sucking wheel behind 20 others have same effect?
  23. Karman de Lange
    Brilliant Race.. although I bonked badly or something .. just saw some stars after Chappies and went recovery mode on lap1. My only gripes was on lap 2: 1: No food at stalls. Last time around there tons to eat, so did not pack any extras, was crap to ride with coke/poweraid for 5 hrs. 2: How did the guys get e-bikes into the start shoots ???? 3: Don't cycle with earphones in, you MIGHT think you can hear others, you cannot. Rip to riders and marshal
  24. Karman de Lange
    There old saying @%#1 Happens, but its they way you deal with it that matters
  25. Karman de Lange
