    Shimano XTR9100 was by far the worst groupset I have ever ridden in terms of reliability. Derailleur clutch would give issues often causing crazy chain slap (Shimano refused to warranty), brakes are weak and require maintenance all the time (and you can't service them). The only good part was the XT cassette which has an awesome range and is "affordable" and the smooth shifting.

    Have also only had good dealings with TVS.

    I'm having a similar problem with my M9100's especially the rear brake. Going to try the gravity bleed method this evening. I am also going to switch over to metallic pads. Currently have Resin pads and it feels like they overheat quite fast.

    Barzo's do not like dry / loose over hard terrain. Its a good winter tyre though when it can bite into the loamy soil.

    Xoc.co.za - best value / no issues

    I had the same/similar issue with a BRAND new XTR 12 Spd derailleur. Turns out the clutch was sticky and needed a service (Very quick job, basically needs a bit of Shimano grease on the clutch mechanism). After that everything is working just fine.

    "Get your mates to sign up and sit slip on fees. New subscriptions get you beer money." No thanks.

    Woodstock is the wild west. The person had very heavy - what looked to be stab wounds - to the chest and lots of blood around them. Rode past the spot on my way home and there was police tape around the area.

    Passed what looked like a murdered individual on the Church Street bridge in Woodstock this morning. Cops had just arrived when I rode past. Not the best start to the morning.

    Fritz has a lot of egg on his face this afternoon

    Equal prize money should be the norm, end of story. Just look how stacked the ladies field was this weekend. My question is, has the prize money allocation between the Men and Women changed from last year, when the men would race the Ultra-marathon distance and the Ladies would compete in the Marathon distance? maybe advendurance thought they could get away with not rejigging the prize purses even though the formats have changed.

    Was this guy riding a spez with a busted rear wheel ? saw someone matching that description walking down from level 5, spotted him having a chat with the rangers at the gate by the manor house later on.

    The 70km was a great route. Definitely the best PPA mtb race I have done to date. Riders were seeded properly and it was a good challenge. Thanks to the helpful guys that donated plugs to me on the Groenlandberg descent. I still have one persons mini toolkit, if you are reading this PM me and i'll return it to you.

    ASG know how to charge thats for sure

    So when the roadworks are no longer a factor, the price will come back down to earth again ? I think not.

    I understand the commercial aspect, I just don't understand why the small 3-5m tree's also had to go, surely they weren't at a viable age - every standing tree has been chopped. Some just left there, that is the worst part.

    MTO could have improved the route experience of w2w by not felling every single tree (big and small) in the Grabouw plantation and destroying the trails in the process.

    Crazy entry fee's, I vote with my wallet on this one.

    Reports say that Ariane had a bent brake rotor after a crash, hence the sudden change in pace.
  24. MarcW
    Can this be done on the XTR m985's (Race) ?
  25. MarcW
    More likely a shortage of stock. They are getting some in this month apparently. Must say I'm very happy with their service, the Evil Twin is an awesome machine
