Called a crown race. Yes. Seperate.

Meh

What do you have now? Would upgrade my shifters to something like XTR or XX/X0 (depending on which you prefer). Get the clutch type RD. Brakes to shimano (keep them if you already have shimano). Get some ice-tech rotors. Would much rather spend money on nice wheels and a carbon handlebar than upgrading a complete groupset. SLX groupo with the clutch system is everything and more 95% of riders need.

In the same spot. WTB i19 - rims are a bit narrow for 'n paar vet tekke AM classic - same price as crest/arch on hope combo Crest/arch - too commercial and those hubs just scream "I like to be heard" Velocity - didn't know about them Eldron. Any reviews? Novatec - good value but how are those hubs? Easton EA70XC - pretty bling but not sure about reliability...? Input please guys!

Way too many LBS or any shop for that matter who love stocking and selling but when problems arise they just pull up their shoulders and refer you to the distributors. What's the use of the middle man then? They like taking their 20-30% profit, then they should man up and step to the plate. Least they can do is supply the customer with a demo bike.

Olympic cycles has a massive park tools and icetoolz range.

Revolution cycles if you want some boutiqueness.

Have those on one style tensioners and 20t Chris King cog if anyone is interested (CT).

Haha, well can't really be less interesting can it?..

Won't enter. Actually wouldn't ride if I was given a ticket.

What does protein before the race help? Usually eat the regular breakfast (Pronutro/future life/oats/mieliepap) maybe have a fruit with that. During: peanut butter sarmie/baby potatoes/nuts/raisins Post race, replenish the carbs, amino acids, salts etc you lost during the race. Like future life with extra whey/chicken wrap/lasagna etc.

EMD baby.

B&W app works a treat to set up the air setup. Great sounding dock. As a warm up, listen to Paolo Nutini - Jenny don't be hasty!

fixed

Great event btw. A longer mtb leg would be *thumbs up*.

If your not doing the long one rather leave the pro gear at home..? Will be doing the short one again. No way am I swimming 4k's.

Simple kcnc race (thing going onto the fork's neck). About R50. Bike shop should be able to sort you out.

5th or something comment. "Developed by Dr Wan Kyn Yu" hahahahahaha

That's Table Mountain in the back

I wouldn't return my bike to a shop that would put a skewer on, instead of a TA and think it's ok.

Was a kind request. Anyway..

What's with all the anti religion posts? Please respect the religious folk among us.

Most of them. But due to their thin sidewalks they are sketchy around corners and are prone to cuts. If she has tubes then it's ok, but tubeless You have to watch out what you buy as she might ride it off the rim on the front (think racing Ralph in non snake skin).

ZTR arch ex (50g?) ZTR crest (120g?) No not worth the money IMO. If you have heavy hubs then I would consider it.

xx1 would work out twice as much as xt. SLX is as good with just a few extra grams.
