Thanks NSBB.New chainring and chain yes, cassette was only put on late last year but chain was worn so it could be that the 11T cog is damaged? I will have a look tomorrow. The big blade chainring on the 2x was way past change date and that I think helped in damaging the 11T cog
Decided on something shorter, less hills and just to spin a bit after my previous ride which caused severe muscle pains from my lower back down to the shins. My son (18years old) actually came and asked me if we could go cycling which I really appreciated. [emoji44][emoji2][emoji16]
There is a "speed prosecution is done using time over distance" (like they have on the N3 in KZN) on the N1 from Colesberg past Beaufort West and even further down South if I'm not mistaken.
I've spoken to 2 shops locally, Mosselbay and George and both said the Slade is out of stock and apparently new ones will be in stock from mid 2020, otherwise we can call the shop in George, they will have news of stock by end of next week.

If I'm not mistaken, Henningvr had one which he sold and yes, he said that apparently they are as scarce as hens teeth. Apparently not being brought in or sold any more here. But if I could get my hands on one I'll sell a kidney.
I so much want to do the Baviaans again. Only did it once but our 3 man team didn't work that nicely together. I need to up my fitness and I'll need much more TITS if I ever going to do this again. Came in just short of 17 hours with way too little training for such a long race.
I had a full suspension Merida and a hardtail. Sold the Full suspension and kept my hardtail, best decision I've ever made. But if I could buy again, I would definately try to get a Silverback Slade hard tail. Very nice looking geometry.
Please understand me correctly, I'm not complaining about the rain, but how do I train or even cycle when it continually rains? I haven't got an indoor trainer or spinning bike, only have a mtb?
