  1. They snakeskin version is R299 at Solomons at the moment, 2.25 26er
  2. Lower pressure also gives a slightly better ride quality, i have the tyres inflated to between 1.5 and 1.7 most of the time, you should not need extra sealant with you. A spare tube can always be used if you have a total failure, providing you have a decent sized gator for a tear/slash in the tyre, will get you home no hassle I carry : Spare tubes, plugs, plug tools, bombs, bomb adapter, pump and gators Never hurts to be prepared, but will never go back to running tubes again....
  3. And yes, there was a triple step rock thing... Stopped to walk down it and just fell over... Quite annoying
  4. Of course... Never start something and don't finish... Unless they airlift you or take you away on a gurney
  5. Hated today.... Better day than yesterday, went down at about 30km in the hills and whacked my knee and left thumb. .. Hopefully will be ok for the final day tomorrow
  6. I know how you felt at 40km...that nasty section in the game park.... Crappy surface and never ending hills
  7. Was hot as hell out there, had endless hassles(my teammate fell, hurt ankle, knee etc) dragged ouraelvea home in 7:38 nursing the injuries... Last guys in....
  8. You would REALLY need to offer more than just a bike wash, seeing as the Bridgestone girls will be there to wash after each stage
  9. Anyone have the Garmin route files? Regards Mark
  10. Spray some WD40 or Q20 as close to the threads as you can, leave to soak and try again, careful not to strip the allen bolt heads, otherwise only option will be to drill them out. can use a drill press with a very strong clamp to stop the shoe from moving

  12. As a retailer of 20 odd years, returns do happen, suck it up or lose the customer, i cannot think of any customer i would ever have charged a handling fee to return anything, as long as it is in original packaging and not destroyed. Be reasonable. Please name the shop as i would like to avoid it in the future.
  13. Sorry, but BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Made my day reading this, have done similar things with track days and gymkhanas etc There is always next year
  14. You were clearly in an early bunch... Atarting later i used it lots
  15. Edit : duplicate post
  16. Should be mat to mat, is not like anyone gas to do anything, the computer system can work out start to finiah times
  17. I had an absolutely awesome day. Missed the cow batch start, but started with another herd and the makro ice cream bike, gave them a push up the hill but was aiming for a good time for my better half. We were the crazy cows mooing and making a noise the whole way Thanks to the organisers and all involved on a well run and organised event. Looking forward to see what venue is chosen for next year. Hopefully the route will not be changed too much as it can be used as a yard stick for a lot of people for their improvements. Well done to all finishers Anyone have any news on the condition of the two people that were on the floor just after the tequila stand? Looked quite bad
  18. Hi Samuel, Please contact me ASAP regarding this, if anyone has his contact details please PM me Regards Mark and Meryl
  19. No, i rarely trust anyone to work on my bike besides myself and i doubt many people will let someone pick up their bike and transport it elsewhere. Insurance would have a field day with that
