    The Munga

    I've done 3 Mungas. All of them through that section. Hated it. That sand at night was awful. I told Jack Black in his 2022 survey, Why make us suffer in that crap. 2023 it was gone. 2019 I tried to nap in one of those roofless buildings. Couldn't. Too much wind and too hyped up on energy stuff. Serious fomo. Have been dot watching all the time. Can't believe so many riders still at Britstown at this time.
  2. I used Front: Vittoria Barzo 2.25 Rear: Vittoria Saquaro 2.20 (traction rolling direction) Not 1 puncture, not one front washing out Perfect combo
  3. Did the 160 last year. You do the WTF climb upfront then its alot of long drags. A few bumps from 80 to 120km
  4. Also Incubit in Potch https://frameservices.incubit.co.za/wp/ Check his instagram too for some amazing work
  5. Nope. No Ebikes this time
  6. I wanna see these guys go down rooiberg at 2am in the morning on those skinnies. could be perfect camera moments
  7. Are South Africans allowed to buy International Entries?
  8. Was there last week Thursday. Used the main entrance. Kareekloof entrance is closed Road conditions were near perfect. Came across 1 small pothole Lots of animals now. Note that you have to pay at the main building. I had to pay R80 for taking a car in with my bike (Car R35 and cyclist R45) and payment by card only. They had alot of workers there cleaning up the area. The toilets are in working order. The picnic area is closed so carry enough fluids
  9. No
  10. They also sell in 250ml.
  11. +1 for enduroseali But also another less know south African brand is Noloopholes. https://noloopholes.co.za/shop-2/ R1400 for 5L. It has a very chemically smell but it works extremely well. I used it in my first Munga. could hear the air leaks from the tyres in the dead of the night on a long thorny stretch of road. it sealed all. Plenty of them. The seat tube was coated full with sealant so it sealed dozens of punctures
  12. Aftershokz Aeropex bone conduction headphones. End of discussion Super comfortable and safe for traffic. Nothing else comes close.
  13. I watched the start till the 3rd corner, then changed the channel. Nothing seems to have changed till the end. It's gotten boring

    Munga Grit

    More clarity. I used a borrowed wahoo element bolt exclusively for navigation. My own edge 820 for capturing the ride, hr speed etc. Both were plugged in permanently to a power bank. During the night the back light was on the wahoo. Both devices were on for the entire 99 hr ride. They were never switched off. I carried 2 power banks, 20000mah and 10000mah. I went overkill as I didn't want to risk losing navigation or the ride. The 20000mah still had some charge in it at the end and they were never charged on route. The grit is a 50 hr max ride, and if u using 1 device only, it is likely that a 10000mah should work. Faster u ride the less power u need. Get a good one. The energizer ones are great
