    Cape Epic 2026

    What a week. From chasing 1-1 and the hustle of the media machine at Epic. Here is a part of the work we did at the event. Check what Tristan says to Matt while packing the bakkie. Chapter 3 should be dropping soon...
  2. Wider is better but remember the internal width of the rim and frame accommodating the tire are elements to consider. 28mm at 6 Bar is what I'm rolling on a Tarmac with Rovals with tubes.
  3. So many variables here, after all the tick boxes of the washing process are done. The fit and cut can be a big factor, if the fabric is at its extreme every ride the lycra will perish quicker regardless of the brand. My 2 cents.
  4. Rode the Pumptrack yesterday, So much fun and a solid workout!
  5. You got a parts sponsor Chrissy?
  6. Been riding the AXS for awhile now, it's an easy check on the app to see how much juice the batteries in the whole eco system are holding. When they do start to go you could easily finish a stage. Lifesavers for your shifter are the coin batteries in your HR strap or PM perhaps that use the same 2032 batteries. For the AXS RD if you running an AXS dropper you could swap out those batteries if you're stuck.
  7. Opening weekend in Jonkers. I rode half of Armageddon, really great to be back. Slow and cautious... 2nd run will be faster I promise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPrNv3BHNWQ
  8. I can only offer you the truth Neo... Your pedals could be the cause.
  9. Got a GX Cassette and XX1 Rainbow chain now for 2000 km not even 0.5 wear. The anodising really improves that model of chains durability.
  10. Drug city! Tik koppe...
  11. The problem with the SA market is they always go for the lightest instead of most capable. I had this discussion over the weekend... "Ya but a dropper makes your bike heavy." I'm going with the dropper BTW.
  12. It rides lekker! Had one for a morning, But it needs a session in Jonkers. The rear seems to be more responsive than the previous model. Also the orange is a metallic finish, photos don't do it justice.
  13. I was on one of the Moto's the elites were flying up that first climb!!!!!! Anybody doing the Epic.. Save some pennies for this stage.
  14. They're a great tire I rode some around Bloemendal in the mud and I never had issues over a two week period testing a Cannondale Habit.
  15. Very early in the mornings.
  16. Yesterday on Lombards, Cobra. Then a molesnake on Bspot. Ok where's my road bike.
  17. Same this side for our side of the world. 68 kg & 2.25 width "Stellies & Grabouw"
  18. You tried using their online booking service? Labour on a post is about 550 bux last time I serviced a post (Don't hold me to that.) Maybe your shop is milking your wallet? https://omnico.wufoo.eu/forms/qaxfafp0duyvnb/
  19. Been using the Kenda Booster SCT pretty impressed, Gravel and Grape, Sani and Jonkers thus far and they're been bomb proof. They come in at about 650grams and 2.2 120TPI
  20. Guys who is in control of the Magic Forest trails? They need some attention I say that in the same breath as in I will also help out. Some sections the berms are gone and need some TLC.
  21. Rigo is on serious form watch him, I really really hope he podiums.
