Giant are most guilty. Never ever give any idea of weight. Momsen very good.

The new s -works Roubaix has disc brakes. My absolute dream road bike. Sexy machine.

oh ja, and number one on my list of most irritating. OPRAH.

How tough is the 50km MTB race. Cant seem to find any route profiles or info. Wil it be more or less the same as last weekends STBB Keep abreast race, or a bit tougher.

Wise words. I agree 100 percent. Not a looker.

Give them some time dude. Was done manually. so at least you know it wont be a complete f-up like racetec.

Best organised race I have ever done. Water tables were more like eat all you can eat buffets, biltong, dry wors, everything the heart desires. Also the water points actually had ice ice cold water, not water that has been standing in the sun for 2 hours. Well done guys, everyone I spoke to had a absolutely blast. The draught beer and food stalls after the race was just a bonus. Thanks

I am a mountain biker at heart. But I absolutely love Die Burger race. Just such a cool vibe, and not as many people to trip over like the Argus.

Giant are struggling. Other competitors are eating into their market share massively. They use to dominate the market. They are clutching at straws. The key word is MIGHT.

I think this might be overlooked yes. I agree.

I dont want to step on your toes. But some people are very sensitive if you dare say a 29er is better in any way.

I love all these guys saying 29ers will be dead soon, because it was marketing hype. That means if Tata create the most hype and best marketing campaign we will all be driving Tatas soon. No one will consider the quality and reliability of a Toyota, the quality and craftmanship of a Audi. You get my point. God help us all. This is just so old, please stop with these vs threads. I am gonna go ride a spinning cycle in the gym, cause I dont know which size the wheel is, and I dont fricken care.

That is a shocker.

That is one good looking bike.

They do need some fine tuning. To be honest. Getting there.

Exactly. Well said.

Downhill bikes are now mostly 650b. One guy at world champs had a 29er downhill bike. Downhill guys all agree they are now faster than they use to be. Meaning the bigger wheel is faster for them at least. I started on a 26er, hated it, hardly ever rode. Now I have a 29er and I love it. I am not going to say 26ers are *** or 650b is great or whatever. But I do think some people on the hub refuse to move on with the times and are unwilling to try or experiment with new things. I am heavy, I am a big boy with a rugby sports background, but I am not tall, 1.75 metres. I went over the bars on my 26er plenty, and before anyone points out my skills are ***, let me state that I am not the most technical rider. On my 29er I now enjoy cycling. And for that I love my 29 ers.

Its because all the rain and storms have stopped here in Cape Town, and people are actually cycling again. Getting rid of frustrations. Just a good month so far. Life feels good at the moment. Blessed

I always buy "last years" bike. Can get some good deals. I cant speak for everyone, but I just bought a 2013 model for nearly R10 grand off the sticker price. That is a massive saving. Also researched the 2014 model and specs and parts were exactly the same. Only difference, the colour, true story. And because of the recent slump in the Rand to all major currencies, my 2013 brand new bike was R14000 cheaper than the exactly the same 2014 bike. Makes no sense. I hope the manufacturer takes the knock and not the dealer.

Yip, entered long ago. Such a good cause, should be a good race too.

Looks really good. Makes me sommer want to buy a top spec 26 er for a steal and do the conversion. Well done.

I am there. Gonna be tough.

Nommer pakkie is die regte woord.

Not at all, when you get to a well organised race there is usually a bag with all your race numbers etc etc. I rocked up and got a sheet of a4 paper with a number on it. Thats it. It rained off after 1 minute. Did not really mean goodie bag as in free stuff, just a sort of race pack you receive at well organised races. My Engels is nie so goed nie. Goodie bags aside, and even if I received one, this was stil the kakkest race of my life. And most dangerous. After all that, they did not even have a finish line. Never again.

Glad you see the funny side of it. I certainly dont.
