    Couldn’t agree more - can’t see any reason for the organisers sticking to the early start - multiple successful prior years starting at 10 All my previous races started at 10am and they were chilly but warmed up quickly My next years commitment will be dependent on the start time

    Done a few TB - Pulled out at 30km. Adequately dressed apart from gloves (which were thermal and water resistant) not water proof which ended in cold and completely numb hands Complete numb hands led to having to change gears with knuckles (thank goodness for AXS) and suddenly feeling the bike slowing quite a few times only to find the weight of my figures were pressing on break levers without knowing Something i don't see on this tread spoken about is the critical need for fueling and drinking in endurance events like this - anyone with seriously numb hands and all the layers of cloths made it impossible to fuel properly - TB has some of the best feed station but with the lack of fueling in the first 60km people that pushed through were also caught out later

    Fork is on a bike bought second hand. As the charger 2 damper is a sealed unit what I have also read seems the oil is not a service item Your views?

    damper is 2018/2019 - lower leg service and air regular service. I was advised that the damper due to it been a sealed unit it not needing service

    Rockshox charger 2 damper RC has stopped working Fork was stuck mid compression and would only use about 20% of the stroke Removed the damper and eventually got it to compress - this resulted in oil coming out through a nick in the damper bladder I have searched the web and found nothing Question - anyone else experienced this issue It is sealed diaphragm with the bladder holding the oil - it is sealed in the station so how the nick in the bladder it a mystery Rockshox is obviously saying the entire damper needs to be replaced

    sure it was a blow out - it definitely sounded like it. We were flying at that stage. Had to hammer the breaks skidding all over the place (about the 100th time for the day though ) it looked like a train wreck, a random wheel in the middle of the road, a saddle on the side and sadly a few guys looking like they were battling to get up. Group shattered there after Hope the fallen guys are all ok

    Are there any early morning group road rides in an around the George area?

    changed from arch 19mm width to race face 27mm - world of difference, increase in grip, can run lower pressure so you get a smoother ride as well

    Those shocks can cost a fortune to service

    GB to Rooiels/Pringle or Betty's is a regular route, probably the most scenic route in CT - holiday traffic can be problematic so early out and early back in would work. Wind can be problem - check it out on the day as it can get quite dangerous if it is pumping. from GB you can easily head out to Fanschoek/Wellington etc lovely. lots of local rides will be happening around this time - although with traffic build up, generally spend more time on the MTB than road. PM if need any other info

    make sure you use original pads on the Magura!! generics heat up and pop the rubbers, Magura wont replace

    try get the original proof of purchase otherwise specialized wont be interested in the event of a claim. if you have the slip they very good and standing by there frames, check breaks the bike comes with and be cautious if sram xx world cup or sram Xo if they feel soft and spongy try stay away as it can be a challange and expensive to get them fixed

    There are companies which offer a service to just drop your bike off (nothing dismantled) at a certain location (JHB and Dur) and they will arrange it to get done. Alternatively pre arrange with one of the local bike shops down here (depending on where you staying) and sure they will assist

    it started a few months back - the extension on chrome was disabled (google changed this) so you could only do it through IE. since the launch of the 525 with the love strava segments, all auto syncing needs to go through garmin connect (assume was part of the agreement) agree above garmin connect is a waste, i upload manually to garmin connect and then strava and training peaks feed from that
