    We had a friend at school, he was one of the boarders at an all-boys school, for context. He got us to hold him down and burn off a wart with a magnifying glass using the sun. You could literally see the smoke and smell it.

    Anybody driving through early Saturday morning and coming back afternoon who wants to carpool? At this stage I'm likely driving up all alone and have roofracks for two bikes. Leaving from Southern Suburbs. Anyone interested?

    Entered. Anyone know any good camping sites in the area?

    I remember the first time I looked at a time trial bike, I mean really looked at one. I was filming an event called the Westcoast Warmwater Weekend. Paul Valstar was commentating. A bunch of kids, maybe 4 or 5 years old, had gathered around Dan Hugo's bike. Paul went over to explain that it is called a time trial bike and a bit about how it worked. As I stepped nearer, one of the kids called to his brother, "Come look here! A time-travel bike!". Click here to view the article

    I've always wanted to do an ultra-distance triathlon but it has always been a bit out of my reach. I'm not a member of a triathlon club, I don't own a time trial bike, and I can't swim properly. I've completed a few shorter triathlons, including the Jailbreak Minimum Escape, but Jailbreak Maximum Security is my biggest triathlon undertaking to date. Click here to view the article

    Are you talking about the auto-generated subtitles made by youtube that you need to switch on? Mine don't come on automatically.

    I also rode this bike at a demo day and loved it. Felt good on it immediately and I was surprised how fun it was even after demoing the speedfox first.

    Lefty is the best by far.

    WRT to devices, a phone picks up way fewer gps points per second than a proper gps device. Good gps devices you can also calibrate to say how accurate you want it, ie low accuracy lets the battery last longer. The way phones work it looks like one of those connect-the-dots pictures but proper device is actually very accurate. WRT segment hunter we do use a GPS device.

    What bike was this guy riding? I'm gonna buy one.
  11. raymakestv
    Holy moly.who is this guy? 9:13? Was he banned from the Olympics?

    If Coquard hadn't zigged and zagged so much he would've been a hair ahead. Kittles just cruised a straight line.

    Jonkershoek? That's funny. Way off.

    This evoc bike bag... Is that perhaps my one that you still haven't returned? Plus a case of monster rehab cans you promised?

    If you check out the data on strava, Louis hits a top speed of 56,5km/h, Gert only hits 50,4km/h. He smashed it harder around corners and put out more explosive acceleration out of corners.

    This isn't the segment that was chosen. 'Bloemslang- Just the drop' was chosen and taken, still standing. The below segment is another segment within the same trail. Not a fail

    wow that uppermost ascent looks like it has some big names on it. Hard to find someone to smoke that.
  19. raymakestv
    https://www.strava.com/segments/8498222 This is the most aptly named segment I've ever seen. If you've ridden it you'll understand.

    Is this the climb up Plum Pudding to the bottom of THE SINGLE TRACK?

    I would highly recommend you give one or both of them a test run. I know that Pyga are really good with regards to that, helping guys out and letting them test the bikes. Not sure about the giant guys.

    I have been to many stage races in south africa and I don't think you will find better organization and routes than W2W. From not having to wait in a queue for showers, to well-planned and prepared medical guys everywhere, you won't find a better event. Also, when you are preparing food for about 1600 ppl (staff included), it's pretty hard to do it to each persons particular fancy. The woman who runs the kitchen is a machine and very good at her job. If you didn't enjoy your experience then I reckon you are in for a disappointing and depressing life because you'll never be satisfied. Or perhaps you are one of the corporate types who has just recently jumped on the "I'm into mountainbiking" trend because it's the popular thing to do. Fact is, maybe you don't like MTB and should go back to playing golf and eating roasted duck with a raspberry glaze at the clubhouse.

    Let me preface this article by saying that I am not a pro, or an expert. I do not know the technical details or have any inside scoops. Also, I am not sponsored by, or affiliated to PYGA in any way, and I'm not getting paid to write this review. I do, however, love riding and enjoy writing, and this is merely an average guy's opinion and experience with the Pyga 110 29er. Click here to view the article

    Ya. Then he rode with the front group until 30ks out and got a puncture. Saw the footage today.
