  1. I had chain suck once with a 2 x in muddy conditions and could not complete the race 1 x never had that issues ever again - that was the reason why I changed and loved the simplicity ever since - so for me personally its better
  2. Advendurance what is the situation is this event going to happen -?
  3. Does any one know about the details of this incident, I cycled this road every day and this is a new development to me. I am aware of the Bloemendaler incident Seems like a increase of hijacks and stolen bikes in Durbanville this last week or so
  4. Durbanville police have issued a warning after a cyclist was robbed on Wednesday. Police spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Theo Fisher says a cyclist was approached by two suspects in Wellington Road. “The cyclist was robbed and they fled the scene with his mountain bike.” Fisher says the criminals are targeting cyclists along Wellington Road between Dumonte and Boland streets. Commuters / Sport Cyclists are advised to cycle to or from work / training in groups.
  5. I signed up thinking its the new 2 days race event just to see its not for this one and the elevation is a bit dissapointing if correct at 319 m even for some one that does not like climbing thats an insult
  6. alone s3 started now - pretty amazing how people think they can make it ALONE and then 3 days in quit - haha love this stuff
  7. must be the chunky gold chain ek se
  8. also been riding 1x11 for 2 years now and really like the idea of the 1x12 , but my wallet does not
  9. Evobikes its R27000 for the EAGLE xx1
  10. I am really wondering how many people can afford it at that price point - and that brings me to the question of how expensive cycling is. I think a large contribution to this is that cycling is a "PARTS" business. Frame brakes groupset tryes and one can mix and match as you want , but this makes it expensive as the complete bike is mostly put together by expensive parts and every "parts" manufaturer wants their profit. A motorcycle is also parts put together but is mostly sold to the consumer as one article and yes you can change the parts but in general its bought as a single unit from one manufacturer. The industry has trained us to be willing to pay for expensive parts - what is so much different from the XX1 to the Eagle that makes it WAY more expensive , one more casette ring ? I like the idea , but I am not willing to spend that much money on consumables
  11. they just preped us with XX1 now we think XX1 is cheap what comes after eagle will be even more expensive
  12. probably around 7-9k depending which one and that probably only last 4-6000km - so twice a year if you ride allot - that is crazeeee money
  13. but its gold what did u expect
  14. I am just glad to be able to participate and do this incredible sport - maybe better you stay home sit on the couch and drink the same stupid old beer you do every sat
  15. the catch - very good
  16. I did not know you can shoot the flu - so glad where do I get the gun I am a good shot
  17. most tricky for me was the downhill section just after the monster with small rocks on hard surface below - tricky tricky
  18. haven't done a technical MTB race in a while and this was a great race - all kinds of terrain to challenge you - first one on a dual sus and I loved the bike eating the terrain for bfast Loved it - ill take grass polls any day over the office - just saying
