It's the logic I was going to apply if there was no clear favorite :-)

Oh no, so many choices! Berg and Bush timing isn't great, but maybe one day I'll be ssuper adventurous and do Joburg2C :-)

Great stuff thanks. Will have to do the Race I think, don't want to travel all the way to not do the whole thing!

W2W vs.S2C Did Sani2C this year and it was awesome. Can do either S2C again in 2014 or W2W. For you guys which have done both, what do you reckon? Keen to heart the reasons. Thanks!

Thanks all. Ended up taking it to Marc at Crown Cycles. It took him 20 minutes to sort it out.... Looks like the mechanic from that well-known chain had fiddled. Great to have it sorted, ready to ride this weekend! :-)

Hi, I'm visiting from New Zealand and after doing SanI2c thought I'd do well getting my bike serviced. I took it to a well-known chain in Westlake and was very disappointed. The gears needed to be reset after the service, the socks were sagging, although the mechanic claimed he didn't touch them and the brakes may as well have not existed, because he 'cleaned' them with what seemed to be an oil-based solution. He tried to make these issues my problem by telling me 1. I shouldn't ride with my xtr shadow clutch on and 2. I should 'warm up' my brakes, which would dissolve the oil. What a crock. When i get a major service i expect the mechanic to know about the technology and to be able to ride the bike, not re-service it myself. brakes i can clean myself (what is the crap hr would have put on them anyway?) and the shifting is sorted, but my shocks (29er Fox Floats) are still sagging and i have another race this weekend. Can anyone suggest a good shop around Cape Town (I'm in Kalk Bay, but don't mind a small travel for a fantastic service) who wouldn't disappoint me and would be able to service Fox? Thanks!
