I asked ASG the same question This was their reply Race numbers for pre-paid online entries will be available to collect on the morning before the start of the race.

I got the red metal 29 XL. Nice wheels. tubeless ready without tape or liners. Bent a spoke on a fall. wheel was still decently trueish. They use proprietary spokes. R120 a pop.

if you can stretch your budget, check with ASG if the Red Metal 1 is still available https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/141170-fulcrum-weekend-wheel-madness/

To the guys that have done the full marathon before, how difficult is it compared to the 85km Magallies Monster. (with the monster being 10/10)

RESPECT to all the MTB Riders!!! (For context, I consider myself a decent roadie (almost) managing 3hour 94.7.) Been doing a bit of MTB riding and decided to enter the full marathon on saturday. (after all what's 45km???) So I dive there throught the mist at Hartebeesport and arrive all excited ready to seed myself mid pack and told the wife I'll be home by 2. And thats where the fun stopped... After that I got my A$$ handed to me chaffed and beaten up. Halfway up the Monster, my Garmin decided that I was going too slow and kept on pausing. (How exactly do you keep a rthym with all those rocks?) Got to the top and thought I could make up some time. Then pushed a bit too hard and started cramping at 40km. Check my pockets and forgot the Magnesium at home. Took it a bit easy after that and the pain and cramps started getting worse. at one point I had both my quads and calf muscles pulling at the same time. Leg was locked straight, one foot cleated in and the other on the ground unable to move. Fell once on a downhill when both legs locked up at the same time and I could not uncleat At some point I couldn't pedal anymone without something pulling. Started walking up the hills and freewheeling downhill. Managed to limp home in 7:30. Will I be back next year. DEFINATELY!!! maybe with a bit more training. This was both the best and worst ride of my life. Amazing organisation and scenery.

That might have been my buddy. Took him 10 mins to remove all the blackjacks from his shorts before he was willing to sit on his saddle again.

So I upgraded my MTB wheels and put the old ones up for sale. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/84493-29-dt-swiss-485d-schwalbe-rocket-ron/ Havent gotten any repsonses and I'm wondering if the price is right. any advice from hubbers. Thay are 29'' DT Swiss 485D with Schwalve Rocket Ron Tyres. Stans Tubeless conversion done.

Does anyone have a map of the route taken from Dunkeld to Braamfontein and back?

Hi Anyone have one of these bikes for sale or know of a LBS that has one. Preferably around JHB. Thanks

Check the sensor, might not be picking up every revolution

Thanks for the replies. Will go there and ask really nicely.

I was wondering, If you do a late entry tomorrow, do you get a seeding or do you have to start at the back? Anyone know???

Stopped smoking 3 weeks ago after 12 years. Havent been cycling due to the fasting month. Can't wait to get back on a bike and feel the difference.

How about one of these http://www.silverbacklab.com/2011_website_SILVERBACK/strelaconcept.htm Fits your specs and price range. Bought one better for myself. PM me if you want details.

My doctors advice: Check your resting heart rate. if it's 20% more than normal, don't ride. Otherwise you fine, but take it easy for a week or so.
