  1. I have a Scott spark. Completed 3 Towers, Epic and 2 Sani2Cs without a problem. Love my Scott!
  2. Hi hubbers, I'm looking into building a fat bike. The question is: Carbon rigid fork or suspension fork? What do you think? The frame will be carbon ... Was thinking suspension fork ... want to go off-road. But then again Manie road one with a carbon rigid fork in the Epic...but then again ... it was Manie riding... Any advice?
  3. Scott Spark Premium ... mine is standard and weigh less than 10kg ...
  4. Hi! I have a Scott Spark and did the Sani2C, Three Towers and Epic with it .... without any problems! Love the bike!
  5. Hi Tankman! Huge respect for you and your fiancé! I was the lady rider that rode in the Engen clothes alone from stage five. Being a single rider I had to start every day in the last group and then work and pace myself through the "backmarkers" trying to ensure that should I get a mechanical I would still be able to make the cut-off! I want to thank every one of the teams that assisted me every time they saw me and chatted to me. I did finish my first ABSA Cape Epic, and are proud of it! Yes, I was one of the backmarkers, not because I did not prepare, because of events that happened in the earlier stages of the race ... I am a working mother, who had a dream. I worked hard to ensure that it become a reality and giving up was not an option ... even if I had to carry through on my own. Sometimes, you have to be your own hero!
  6. Really?!!! And how am I suppose to sleet 2night? Sjo, excited and scared.... very scared at the same time!
  7. Any large dual suspension frames out there?
  8. How tall are you? Is that a large frame? If so...I might be interested!
  9. Hi, I am new at the Chinese frame idea. Any ideas of good Dual Suspension 29" Carbon Frames out there?
  10. Hi Tim, are ladies allowed to enter the ultra?
  11. Hi I need a light for the Transdraak and tovdo some night-time Epic training. Any suggestions? Want to buy a decent light first time...

  13. Hi. I am a lady...I need mew tyres for the 3 Towers, but need to find the correct tyres for the epic. Ive been reading a lot. It seems that the choice I have to make (good grip, not too heavy, but tough) is between Racing Ralph/Nobby Nick (snakeskin) and X-King/race king. Any advise?
  14. Do the Onza tyres grip well?
  15. How is the grip on the Onza?
  16. Thinking that the geax combo might be too heavy for me (that is what the bike store told me...I'm s short lady) I think I must choose between Shwable or Continental combo? I know the Scwable wear quickly...but if you are light the "hard" tyres does not grip that well..Any body heard of Onza tyres?
  17. Hi. Have to buy new tyres. Dies any-one know if the Geax Saguaro will grip good with a light rider? Need some tyres with good grip and cornering ....or should I rather consider something else? Need to find the right tyres for 3 towers and Epic....
  18. Just do it!!! Awesome!

    Sani2C 2014

    Hi Hubbers, Does anyone know when the entries for the 2014 Sani2C will be open?
  21. Hi, I'm also interested in buying a set or make-up my own set. What are the most needed / important tools that one should have?
  22. Thanks for all the advice. I googled all of the mentioned ones (we do not have a a lbs that stock these) I like the kcnc a lot...
  23. Hi! I'm not tall, and I fit perfectly on the Scott Spark small.
  24. Hi! Jip! I am riding a small frame, the setup is perfect but my saddle is as forward as I can put it on the set-back seatpost to achieve the setup. This is not ideal (especially on a mtb)if I get a zero set-back seatpost the saddle will be within the correct limits on the seatpost and I will have the correct set-up!
