Toxic

Yeah, saw that. according to results she did came 38th.

Anyone know what happened with Candice Lill during her race? She was sitting in top 10 in lap one. I suspect either a crash or a mechanical. Hope she is not injured.

sorry, Dnd?

Scalpel will be awesome. I had the old scalpel for 5 years. it had it's problems. Then I decided to get something else. Tried a few different bikes (giant anthem, trek fuel ex, trek top fuel), and then I tried the new scalpel. It was game over. I bought a new scalpel again, even though I know that the proprietary lefty components can be bit of a problem when servicing is required. It is just such a sweet fun bike. Don't underestimate the 100mm travel on the new scalpel. It is very capable.

The Cape Epic use to be like this few years ago. I've done 2013 and 2016. I've noticed a big difference between these 2 years. The food in marquee tent where shocking in 2016. It really caters only for the pro / very rich amateur riders. We where an average team with average bikes and felt out of place in this event. Not so sure I will do it again....

This bike must have been released in the last week or so. Scalpel with Eagle grouppo and SID XX up front. http://www.cannondale.com/en/International/Bike/ProductDetail?id=0ff874f4-1d28-466b-88ac-c08d0e4959ab It makes alot of sense to me.... however wished that the travel could be 120... What are your thoughts?

that is right. the Scalpel blank inc is R195k. That is why I think I will keep my 2012 scalpel that is more like a 2016 model lately. it is becoming a vintage, maybe I can make a profit in the future

@Moridin, I have not been aware of these replacement Bottom Brackets! How come the LBS don't mention this to me!! anyway, I did a quick google search and the look impressive. But there are so many options! PF30, BB30 etc. According to my knowledge my BB on the cannondale is the BB30. that right? Sjoe, I see it is expensive at around R2500. but as you said, it is a massive issue and the manufacturers jjust turn a blind eye.. http://www.bikeradar.com/au/gear/category/components/bottom-brackets/product/review-enduro-fork-seals-xd-15-bottom-bracket-13-47132/

I've got all the tools now, and will do this regularly. I've already started doing it, and it is not difficult ! will save me some money

Here is my new Cannondale 2016 frame after a warranty claim. It really looks nice (at least for me it does)! Now I feel like keeping the bike again.... After I saw the prices on new Scalpel's I really feel like keeping this bike and use it for another 4 years or so. (Maybe get a very cheap 140mm travel play bike) What do you guys think this bike would be worth if I want to sell it? There is very little parts on this bike that is older than 9 months.

I just don't like this bike... don't know why...

I'am happy for Max! awesome. Alot of people hates him, but I'am not sure why... I know he has been riding with 3 partners in the past that got busted, but I still believe he race clean and he needs more respect from us.

nee moer!
