    Grovener and bryanston are quite busy, quite a few speed bumps too and quite narrow in places. Also crossing St james crescent is a bit hairy as cars take chances, I tried that and didn't like it.
  3. Bicycle Supply Chain
    Where exactly is this track?
  4. Bicycle Supply Chain
    I am also interested, I seem to run out of road on a 10 min interval. and it gets very frustrating having to stop or even pause on the interval. Seems JHB is 10min less for intervals

    I thought is was tarred. Except for the river crossing at William Nicol. That section is stone paved. Honestly though. All the sections that are being smoothed out are ridiculous. Like the filled drain at fratellis. The "Ruts filled at the virgin active. Etc It's turning into a bit of a highway. Don't get me wrong I love some of the work the spruit fairy does. I thing some of the single track, jumps and routes are awesome for what he has to work with on the spruit. But it is a mtb trail and as such it should be more off-road than dirt on road. Mike.

    Please can we have a spec on this bike. it 1 kg lighter than mine and I can see certain items that weigh more than my bike Saddle, fork, tyres, cranks, 2x10, front derailler, etc Unless you got an extremely light wheel set and frame, handlebar, stem combo I don't see how you could be 1kg lighter than me with items listed above weighing 600-800gr more than on my bike, effectively making it 1.8kg lighter!!! Than would be a 7.2kg bike with 1x10, different tyres, cranks, and saddle. - World cup pro level Very interested to see the spec sheet Mike

    Hi All, Does anyone know when and where the African continental champs (xco) will take place? Thanks Mike
  10. Bicycle Supply Chain
    Hey guys, So who all competed in Saturdays Rainbow Challenge? I loved the course, found the going tough but good. pity the mud was so sticky.
  11. Bicycle Supply Chain
    What an awesome course, really loved the technical stuff. to me, it was a proper xco track. decent climbs, proper tech stuff, not just a gazzilion rocks, but built sections to test your skills. love it.
  12. Bicycle Supply Chain
    I totally loved the course, it was hard, climbing didn't seem to let up in the first 25km. and most of the descents were xco style rocky rough singled track. Will be back for rainbow. looking forward to it.
  13. Bicycle Supply Chain
    I do service my own bikes. Always have, always will. No bike shop will ever touch my bike.
  14. Bicycle Supply Chain
    Looks great. Nice flowing track.
  15. Bicycle Supply Chain
    Ok thanks for the info. Helps with tyre choice as I can't bring everything with as I am flying. Sounds like an awesome course. Can't wait.
  16. Bicycle Supply Chain
    Hey all. Can anyone tell me a bit about the xco course in Hayterdale? Specifically terrain, rock, sand, loose over hard, wet, muddy etc? it the course tight, technical and slow with short sharp climbs or is it open, fast and flowing? thanks
  17. Bicycle Supply Chain
    anyone got a 10 speed 11-32 cassette they want to get rid of, used preferably Need 2 of them Mike
  18. Bicycle Supply Chain
    mine took about 2 weeks
  19. Bicycle Supply Chain
    Ah, ok that makes sense now Thanks
  20. Bicycle Supply Chain
    Nope. Service is 50hrs, R700 and every 150hrs it's R1500 So I do about 45-50 hours per month. So month 1 and 2 I spend R1400 on the 50 and 100 hr service. Month 3 I do the 150 hr service at R1500. So for 3 months I have spent R2900. Repeat 4 times for the year and you at about 10-12k.
  21. Bicycle Supply Chain
    Why so many?
  22. Bicycle Supply Chain
    you kidding. so that means I will need to spend about 12k per year just servicing the shocks!!!
  23. Bicycle Supply Chain
    Thanks a million for the response. Looking forward to the race. It's gonna be a blast.
  24. Bicycle Supply Chain
    I am debating 1x10 with 34 blade too. will make the call this weekend.
  25. Bicycle Supply Chain
    Thanks guys, now 1x10 or 2x10?? 1x10 =34 11-40 2x10 = 26/39 11-36 Does anyone know the course? Any fast pedalling section over 35-40 kmh for long stretches?
