Thx!! Will check it! Strangely, it was fitted the exact same way on previous fork. Better to not try and test its fate...

And it rides so smooth ????

Got this beaut this week ???????? Upgraded from a 2012 Rockshox Sid XX World Cup dual air 80mm fork with hydraulic lockout ???? to a Fox Step Cast Performance 100mm. Did some research and got all the bits and bobs to DIY. Hacksaw absent from pic and sick with the flu. Will post pic when all is done.

Also could not find info. Best to enter asap. Entries usually fill up before closing date

Also did it last year. Suffered!! Lots have changed in terms of training so hopefully I will suffer for a shorter period of time this year. The route is also quite technical, especially on day 2. That is very taxing paired with the steep gradients. But loads of fun. By far the best race I have ever done.

It could be because most still love gravel grinding and desire more top speed.

I have seen RaceFace crank arms for under R2000... Now I know it's all one piece - thanks

Thanks droo. I am not too much concerned about weight if it only makes 200g difference. I've seen that the GX crankset is on sale at Bike-Addict, but I have no idea if OEM is anything to be concerned about?

I currently run a GXP Sram XX 2x10 crankset, used for 1x12. The issue is that the spider and crank arm is one piece and the BCD is 120. Running a smaller chainring on the inner BC will just look weird... That only allows for a 36t chainring minimum, but I have felt the need for a smaller chainring in certain conditions, such as XCO. It seems that one could get away with just buying new crank arms (much cheaper too) instead of replacing the entire crank. 1) Could I just replace the crank arms and buy a direct mount spider? 2) What do I need to look at to make sure I buy compatible crank arms? From what I have read about GXP BB's is that it has a 24mm spline on the drive side and 22mm on the non-drive side. The current Q-factor is 166mm. Thanks.

Spiderwebs are being spun all over the place... But I am sure they will get things back in order

At the moment my Bryton uploads to Strava for the Active Dayz, but I also swim & run so I have linked a Suunto account as well. There is no trouble syncing from my Suunto Moves Count so I could try to upload .fit files from my Bryton to Suunto, but it will be a schlep. What device do you use?

I rode there this morning and some trails have been cut. Routes were clear. Wet, but not too muddy. One gripe I have is the condition of the bathrooms (especially the ladies).... sorry but I had to use the men’s. It has not been cleaned in a VERY long time and toilets are out of order.

I recorder over 4000 calories on Saturday and it is still not sync’ed. I was hoping they could give me Active Dayz for the rest of the year

Second time doing this event. This one will probably be the easier one. This one tough, beautiful but very enjoyable event - counting the sleeps!

Seems to be another scammer with the same MO as Daniel Williams

Another zombie thread awakening.... Any new info on rentals?

One more sleep... will be there in my MTB free ride shoes, mismatched kit and fired up legs. Bring it on, weekend warriors ????

How many criterium races in SA have been around?

It’s a ‘new’ racing format to the SA market. Understandably, this may, or may not appeal to the masses. They made the decision to fuse categories to ensure that they do not have only ten people on the start line for one category. The cycling community may take a while to adapt to this new idea, so their initiative can’t be bashed just because there isn’t enough interest... yet.

Perhaps it’s full?

This one is unfortunately a 200km one way trip for me... would have been awesome to do. At least the post-race video made it seem pretty cool. Will have to wait for the Diamond Rush

I just remembered when I used to be one of the last ones to cross the line. Now I can also ride the full marathon at 85%. The announcer was there earlier - even called our names out - and we got medals. He probably left after prize giving. Well done on pushing through. Next one you’ll go even stronger.
