4% after this many kms must feel like 14% ????

Just hitting the Bains Kloof bastard...thats gotta hurt now!!!

Also got feedback that there we several crashes in the soft sandy sections leading up to Loxton...

Be interesting to see what KB and DG do at final race village!!

Flying down that mountain hey!!

Sh*t, it must be soul destroying when you find out you've gone off route!!!

This is where the strong minds come to the fore...

True....but it just seems bizarre cos 38km is a long way (barring mechanicals or illness).

Is a 38 km lead considered considered substantial I this stage I wonder.......

Holy cow...makes me feel a bit lame!!

Poor guy, I saw that...now that is k@k luck.

26kms

Mike Woolnough never ceases to amaze me!!

Particularly the poor dude after 18km's

What second?? Go for the win!! All the best...

Will do...those sound like some DOC names to me?

Doing something similar, getting bits and pieces at the moment. New Stage frames (raw carbon/silver) colour will be available again from mid December. Interested in these rumours of this 120mm for next year that Nick is referring to....

Very nice!! I know Thaba very well. What SID exactly do you have? Year?

Cheers Tom, was waiting for your input I am leaning towards 120 but just dont know what...not a Fox fan so busy doing my "research". Touch wood my Revelation has been great and I've hammered my One Ten over the years. What would you fit on a Stage build as a matter of interest?

Thanks Nick, you pretty much answered my question. I'm picking up my new Stage frame in about a month or so but am still undecided on which fork to fit. I like the SID 100ml provided its got the charger damper. Been offered a 2017 SID RL for approx R10500.00 (still brand new) which i think is a good deal. I'm just not sure if i should go 100ml or 120ml yet???? Going to use the bike mainly for marathon type riding. Got the Revelation on my One Ten and love that fork too so its staying on the One Ten. Any suggestions welcome.............

So how is that SID fork working out for you?

I'll be watching your dot with great interest. All the best between now and when the dots start!!

Very brave.....or foolish thing to say!! Hope you haven't jinxed yourself

Availability was supposed to be same time as Slakline...not sure if it still is.
