Check out darkhorse wheels, speak to Tony. A set of aero 50mm wheels from him is great value.

Still 2 spots available for our all inclusive service at the Epic: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/76755-cape-epic-service-plan/. Don't worry about getting your bike ready for the next stage, rather just focus on your own recovery and save your energy for the trails, not the schlep of getting your bike ready... Includes your extra bag being transported from race village to race village!

Day 1 in both 2005 and 2006, although 2005 was dryish the forest was a mud bath. The service guys ran out of brakepads both days, that's when I learned to start a race on new pads and carry 2 sets in my bag.

A great pump, hi volume on each stroke, the gauge is easy to read and the twinhead means the wheelbarrow is easy to inflate.

A beanie is an absolute must for the evenings and nights, particularly as the tents have no insulation.

Some guys are more honest than others with weight, and when you add the shock my configurator gives actual weighed weights, not a theoretical "possible if your scale has zero gravity" weight!

Take it all! Rather too much than too little....but go here first: Take all your stuff with you on Epic advert

New bike safety campaign in UK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlGmiHKCDI4 Please share the link with your mates.

That's the darndest thing about the bad guys. They almost always have a face, 2 eyes, 2 ears, a nose, both arms and legs, usually most of their fingers and toes and even sometimes all their teeth. Makes them very hard to spot. Selfish *******.

That's why the smart money chats to guys like me who travel with a truck and trailer, the 65l bag becomes an overnight bag for your cosmetics. The stuff you may or may not need but don't want to risk not having travels with me and is stored for when you want it.

So the organisers get the blame because we go downhill too quickly? What next, they left some bumps in the road? A catseye didn't have a cover over it? A manhole cover was left exposed?

Were their dancing girls along the course? I must pay more attention next year.

Possibly jumped up into the wrong start group on the day? Only 241 official C starters and 4 guys who jumped ahead? Is it really worth the hassle?

On a 109km road race with 48 water points?

Stunning race, what a well timed final attack.

Apart from one section of New York Barriers on the lower Hout Bay side against the mountain Chappies is 2 lanes and clear of obstacles.

Why walk all the way when you can walk to grand parade and take the free shuttle?

I'd like to know how you can base an aspersion on my character based on the fact that you are probably too stupid to understand why psi is used in this calculation.

First proper use of the new uncapped10mbps ADSL feed from axxess coming up... I like how they have just added a z to their banned site. Fooled me for months.

Ironically since David Duffield retired the pictures seem to suffice, although Sean Kelly does add valuable insights. I'm riding with half of the PnP team today, it's a pity they fell in man love with Big Tex, about 20 years ago they did add insights into racing, now it's just the same script year after year. But I won't be telling him that today!

WTB High Tail is First (Yep) 650B Mountain Bike Saddle, Other New Models http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/WTB-Volt-Rocket-High-Tail-MTB-saddles.gif After releasing a wealth of new tires for mountain biking and gravel riding, WTB’s introduced what could arguably be the first “650B” mountain bike saddle. Shown on the left, the design is intended to offer better clearance off the rear tire when long travel bikes have blown through their travel. With the larger diameter of 27.5″ tires over 26″, tires hitting the saddle were apparently limiting frame design: Pivot founder Chris Cocalis: “It quickly became apparent that we weren’t going to be able to use the geometry we wanted to use with a conventional saddle on our upcoming 27.5″ carbon downhill bike. We wanted to maintain the same travel, chainstay length and rider positioning as on our current 26″ Phoenix DH bike and this presented an overall clearance challenge with current seat and rail profiles. Something had to give, so we contacted WTB with the idea of a saddle to accommodate the rising popularity of the 27.5″ full suspension market.” While the High Tail is obviously aimed at the downhill and aggressive enduro/trail crowd, the range topper is an XC-weight carbon version ($249.95). A Titanium–railed Team level and and Cromoly Pro option will retail for $159.95 and $119.95, respectively. Expect those to hit stores in September. Dimensions are 128mm x 255mm. The other two are the new carbon railed version of the Volt (top, right) and Rocket V (bottom). Both will retail for $249.95. Both lines will also get more width options across multiple price points, adding to the original 135mm x 255mm sizes. From the PR: “We’re excited for elite level carbon options as well as additional width availability for the Volt and Rocket V saddles,” stated WTB’s Director of Sales, Gary Gleason. “They are incredibly popular sellers for us, it’s empowering from a sales side to know that the Volt and Rocket will broaden their reach through expanded fit, sizing, and price points.” Rocket V and Volt Carbon saddles, along with 142 and 150 widths, are expected to become available starting in September as well. Rocket V and Volt pricing will follow WTB’s traditional saddle price structure, with satin steel-railed Comp saddles starting at $39.95 USD, followed by $59.95 Cromoly-railed Race saddles, $89.95 Pro options utilizing DNA padding, and $129.95 Team saddles featuring Titanium rails.

With the disappearance of sports-livez.com what is the best source for streaming now?

And it's own live HD coverage from StupidSport. Rugby and more Rugby but no early classics.

Never assume intellect. That way you can only be pleasantly surprised?
